iH E HICKORY DEMOCRAT
Public Sentiment First.
One of the great auestions
that will confront our people
sooner or later is whether the
Federal government will pass a
law prohibiting the sale, making
or shipment of liquor in any
statr» in the Union. One wing
of the prohibiton is advocating
just such a iaw and seeking the
endorsements and sympathy of
the members of Congress, In
our r-Dinion the time is years
a k iead of us when such a sweep
ing change can be made in the
order of things. You need not
have laws unless you have the
sympathy of the people enlisted
lor their enforcement. Before
we can hope to make radical
changes in laws we must make
the views of the people conform
or they will not be worth the
white paper they are written on.
As for this national prohibition
movement, it must not work too
hastily. The pendelum may
swing back. In the Webb bill we
have a law which says each state
can regulate the liquor traffic to
suit its individual self, therefore,
if the sentiment of the majority
is for liquor the state can remain
wet, but if the majority favors
modified prohibition then the
laws can be made so. North
Carolina has no right to say
whether California shall be wet
or dry, neither does California
have a right to yote on what
North Carolina shall do.
National prohibition may come
sometime in the remote future,
but it would be unwise at this
time to force it on an unwilling
people. First educate your people
so there will a general demand
f r it, then the enforcement of
the law will be an easy matter.

Water for Liquor. I
The police of Kinston have de- 1
dared themselves powerless in a
ridiculous epidemic of fraud {
whereby undiscerning rural |
people have been horns waggled (
by worthless negroes in Kinston j
during the present tobacco sea- (
son. The latest victim was a ,
farmer who was approached by \
a darkey and ask-jd it he desired (
to buy something to drink for the
absurdly low price of 40 cents a
pint or a quart for 75 bents. The I
planter fell for the proposition '
immediately, and unhesitatingly '
paid for a quart, whereupon the ]
negro went to the public foun
tain, filicd two bottles with water 1
wrapped them carefully, return- 
ed and made the exchange with i
lhe unsuspecting rural dweller.
When the victim appealed to an ,
officer he was told there was.no ,
heio to be had in the matter; the j
black had merely bargained to
sell him "something to drink'' (
and he had been supplied with ,
a quart of the best water in the ,
country. The novelty of this '
chronic prohibition joke is wear
ing off, however, with the strict
enforcement of the vagrancy
laws hers.

HOLD ON AWHILE
The Faithful Disappointed in New
Turn of Affairs in Asheville.
Asheville, Nov. 2.—The seven
special employes and deputy col
lectors of the Republican faith
whs are employed in the local
livision of the Internal Revenue
Service and who were instructed
Friday morning to report at their
home stations awaiting further
instructions wiil remain in the
employment of the government
for an indefinite length of time,
according to an announcement
made yesterday at the office of
Internal Revenue Agent B. B.
Sams. Collector A. D, Watts in
structed yesterday that the offi
cers be kept in the service until
their successors are appointed
He gave no intimation as to the
date on which they will be re
lieved.
It was generally expected that
the first of November would see
the appointment of Democrats to
relieve the Republicans who have
been in the service and the an
nouncement that the Republicans
are to be retained for an indefi
nite length of time will be re
ceived with no little interest in
western Carolina political circles.
Many Democrats, it is under
stood, have made application for
the positions now held by Repub
licans and those who are desiri
ous of entering the revenue ser
vice have awaited the first of
November with a great deal of
speculation.
T. H. Gore, of Jonesville, S. C.,

special employe in the service

Mexico's Future.
New York World.
On paper, Mexico has a fin*
Constitution. Almost every con
ceivable human right is safe
guarded. Even in the matter of
Presidential elections, the people
of Mexico have more guarantees
than the people of the United
States.
Tne'trouble with the Constitu
tution of Mexico is that it works
only when one man, who may
call himself President or Dicta
tor, sets it in motion, When he
interferes the Constitution is a
blank. .
This fact explains* the Strang#
results of Sunday's election. By
the Constitution there i 3 univer?
sal suffrage; yet few voted. By
the Constitution. Congress must
determine the results; yet there
is no Congress; By the Consti
tution, Huerta, the present Dic
tator, cannot be elected, yet as
he is in place he may decide to
hold on indefinitely.
In the northern States of Mex
ico, in which are centred most of
the intelligence and wealth of the
country, to say nothing of for
eign investments, there is a con
stitutionalism which rests upon
bayonets. It is everywhere ad
mitted that it is gaining ground.
It refuses to vote, it does not
hesitate to fight. There is not a
true constitution on earth that is
is not sustained by men who
fight. .
Persons in the United States
and Europe who cannot under
stand President Wilson's policy
south of the Rio Grande may find
enlightenment in the study of
conditions in the Mexican States
that are controlled by the Con
stitutionalists. In tjjat section
Huerta does not rule outside of
his camps. When they shall
have expelled him altogether it
