There never waa a forward mora made that piTt of the folka did not proteat. And there never haa bean a going bark to the outworn cuatonu of past agea. When humanity finda a better way it holds on to its know ledge until something even bettor if brought to light. And ao the bowlers may howl and the growlers may growl, but modern boaineaa methods and the saloon are divorced forever. FISH FOR OUR STREAMS M It will be rood new* to all this Me / tion that the State ii now bosy build ing a fish hatchery near Roaring Gap in Alleghany county Tht» hatchery ia npitnoM to he ready for operation hi time to be stocked with fiah this fad. The purpose of the State, as In dicated by laws made at the last aaa. sion of the legislature, is to operaU five fiah hatcheries, two in the east far the streasas in that section and three in the west for the mountain streams. The hatchery at Roaring 0i| soon bt Able to stock all the stiaams hi Sorry county. It will ha wad to hatch the awrtih tnd which is at Imm to the streams oi frirt paato they fiad ths pirtrt d aad ths esry hsat of Mat Bafers ths fiah cm lira and thrin o4s will kill owt fish hi apfea of aaj Om of the Hani prufclin of tbi country li to bring crimi aaia to Jaetice. II to aaid that only om earn ta i hundred of cffane ie mr puniahed, and tho other ainty-niiie go unpuniahed. Until nditf flnde a way to make it hard on tho criminal, prima will continue to bo rampant in tha land for there are many follia who cannot bo appealed to by reaaon, and the fear of the atrong arm of tho law ia the only force that detera them from their evil waya. j , Judge H. H. Lewellyn, of thia city, ia allowing marked abili ty in uncovering crime about thia town. The manner of hia dia poaition of eaaea could well be an object leaaon to many Super ior Court Judgea. Take thia caae aa an illuetration of the way Judge Lewellyn geta at the facta in a eaee. A young man about town waa found with a quart of liquor. The officer* brought him to the court and the facta were all undiaputed. The man waa guilty of violating thW liquor law and waa at the mercy of the court Many a Superior Court Judge would aimply have ordered the clerk to make an entry of the aentonce and called the next caae. Ifbt ao with Judge Lewellyn. He waa not will ing to diapoae of the csae without getting at the bottom of the matter. IX tl»« young man naa a quart men nomeoony in mm have it The judge wantert to know at the young fallow whirr* he got the liquor, but he pretended that he could not remember^ Then the Judge reminded him that may be he could help him to refresh hie memory. A fine of a few dollars In case he could recall where he got the liquor, or a term of thirty daye in jail in caae he could not remember. Under a sentence like thia it waa the easiest matter at all for the young fellow to get his brain in action and recall the fact that he bought the quart from a far mer out in the country a few miles from town. The next step in the caae was to send offcers out to the home of the farmer and search his premises. The search proved fruitful, for it showed all that was needed to back up the young man's state ment that he bought liquor at that place. The farmer had a record for past offenses along this line and had served his time once before on the roads for making a living in this easy way. Once in the clutches of the law the old fellow, for he is now well along in years, admitted that he sold the liquor to the young man and threw himself on the mercy of the court Age and feeble health saved him from the roads, but he must be able to show by reliable neighbors that he walks in the narrow way in the future or back to the roads he goes, again age or no To our way of thinking about it. this decision is well worth the thoughtful consideration of all officers and shows that a judge has the power to uncovet crime if he has the will and nerve to do his duty. RELIGION IN POLITICS For the flrat time in the history of this coon try, nrtiinl; in modem timex, religion has become an ium in polities. The Democrat* are In put dancer at disrupting the party over the iseoe. Strange aa R may seam, the Soman Catholics are in arms against the PWaHaiU. Cor ernor At Smith at New York la a Catholic and W. G. McAdoo la a Pro testant. They are the two strungaat men in the party and the Catholics are getting credit for making religion the iseoe. It all dates back to the resurrection of the Eu Elux Klaa following the war. The Elan is strong in the South and middle sreet, and they are oat and out a gainst the Catholica. Because of this the Catholics are out and oat against the Elan. A mighty effort eras made by the Catholics to get it written into the Democratic platform last week that the Elan must be sup pressed. They failed m this effort and great and bitter feeling prevail ed for a time over this iaaoe. Now, many see that unless a Cath olic is named aa candidate for presi dent or rice-president the Catholic vote will largely leave the Democratic party in protest, and thus bring cer *»'" defeat. Some of the moat pro t men in oar nation are loyal Ilea, and most at them deplore the fact that religion has been made an issue in this campaign. There seems to be ao way to sap presa the Eu Elux aad they must have their day, which most observer! thinks will be a short day, bat until the enthusiasm for the organisation diea down H is a powsr for goad at evil in the land. The very fact that the Elan is so nppaaad to the Catho lic church is sufficient raaaon for the sttitude at the CathoUcs. \ A GRAVEYARD BUSINESS With MM folk* about km the making of liquor ha* literally baton a nawyari business. Lot as explain. Up in tha e<wU| a few milaa north of this city ia an old family burying broomaadge haa tts own way and tha little mound* of earth mark tha laat resting places of aome mm useful ritisens of that section. A abort dis tance away flow* • clear mountain brook trickling through tha under growth of tha forest and peacefully flowing on to ao«M larger slisam Tha situation could not have a more peaceful and happy look. Bat aome |Motor one who haa eyes that see noticed that a path of more than com mon one lead from the branch up to that silent graveyard. Why a path in aoch a place, was a question that the eloee observer naturally aaked himself. Curiosity prompted an in ' vestifration And that path lead di rectly to a full fledged distilling plant located right among the silent graves in that graveyard. The still was there and the wood and the furnace and the maah and everything needed to make good old fashioned liquor. The owners were away, but evidently they were prepared to do businees in I a short time. The world and the men who owned that still win probably never know who found it or who pot the officer* wise to the location, bat two men arm ed with the authority of the law and also armed with Winchesters, were noon hiding in the braah near the new manufacturing plant and patient ly waiting for derelopnMnts. Pa tience won, for in a few hour* two men came upon the scene and proceed ed to pot the still in operation. And while they worked they talked of their plana and freely di sense ad the profits In the business and how neighbor so and so was to hare a | whole gallon for his own private nee have a whole gallon far Us stomach's and little at a tins they gave a day to com Bnt that Is tke mm of the man who are to make this age worth Ha pine* In history.
