It is said that London is the best
governed city in the world; that there
is less lawlessness, greater respect
for law, and1 fewer crimes. The reaso.i
assigned is that there are few laws,
less interference with the people, of
ficers trained in their duties ,/ and
rigid, rapid and impartial enforce
ment of the laws that exist.

You have heard that "times have
changed." We didn't believe it until
Monday when a white man was tried
convicted and sentenced for stealing
chickens from a negro. Time wi?s
when one of the stock*jokes was a
bout negroes stealing white people's
chickens. Monday we had to scratch
* . y
our head and wonder w lie re we have
arrived.
Up in Cleveland, Ohio, a policeman
arrested a man and a woman on a
charge of disorderly conduct, because
he caught them petting, in an auto
mobile on the street. The man protest
ed that the woman was his wife. The
policeman wouldn't believe it and took
the two to the lock up where they re
mained for six hoursi The woman
sued the policeman for false arrest,'
and a jury awarded her $3675 dam-j
ages. Just another case '{of officers'
interfering with things that do not
concern them, of "snooping" into the
affairs of people who were guilty of
nothing except bad taste, and of hav
ing the attitude that every man and
? ^ ? *
woman is, either a criminal or a po
tential criminal and should be watch
ed. ? '

800 school children of Gary, Ind

school because of the enrollment of aj

far as the law is concerned they arc|

on the wrong side; but they have
the sympathy and support of this
paper and the entire Southr While
we arc believer^ in law and order and
constitution, still we have always been ]
/ L' ? ?
and are yet strong for the nullifica
tion of the 14th and 15th amend
ments to the constitution. Try as you
may, pass as many amendments as
you will, it is'Wcll-nigh impossible to!
v divorce the people of this country'
from the principle of local self gov
ernment, in any matter in which they
have a real interest. They support
^ what they want to support and ,nulli
fy what they desire to nullify. After
all that a tolerable healthy sign.

WHY PICK ON US?
V ?
In 1908 North Carolina, by an ov->
erwhelming majority voted dry. The j
saloons were banished from the state
forever, by the people themselves.
The North Carolina legislature rati
fied the 18tfi Amendment to the con-'
stitution of the United States and the
people approved the action of their
legislature, ft ort h Carolina has been.
dry, is still dry and will always re
main dry, conic that may. There ar>;
other states and spots in other states
that are as wet as the Atlantic ocean
and sometimes the tide, when it runs
high, slashes over into North Caro
lina, against the wishes of the people
of this state.
These things being so, we wonder
why the anti-saloon league should
pick out this state as the first of the
48, in which to open up the big guns
of the campaign that it is waging
under the name of "law enforce
ment!"
POLITICS AND RELIGION
We appear, from utterances by
Bishop DuBose, Dr. McBride and the
anti-saloon speakers, who are deliv
ering their political speeches in the
churches throughout North Carolina,
to be entering upon the most remark
able politie&l campaign in the history
of this counjry.
^ The line between politics and re
T ?
ligion, between civil governmental
principals and morals, has dwindled,
t? the vanishing point and nobody
seems to know just what things J^rc
Caesar's aud what God's. Once be
fpre this same condition of affairs
confronted the pepole, the day when
political anethemas were hurled from
most of the pulpits of the land, and
the churches were torn in twain and
the country plunged into four bitter
years of civil war, over the question
of slavery.
Strangely enough, the political par
tics seem prone to ignore the ques
tion thai is becoming paramount and
the churches are making the fight.
The difference between church and
state is fast disappearing and no
man cm tell jp$t where it will all end.
DANIELS HITS THE MARK
Joseph us Daniels hr.s a way 01
brushing aside all the chaff of noil
essentials that comes up to obstruct
the public vision in things political,
and of striking at the unreal issues.
Speaking in Washington, Wednes
day, Mr. Daniels gave some very
jwinted advice to his party, whic:i
if heeded will do much to clarify th?
muddied political waters.
The Democrats must "stop this
talk.about beer and religion and start
a hostile and militant attack aginstj
the present rule of the privileged1
few and dollar ^diplomacy, il they
hope for success.
We have the house of Morgan now
dominating our diplomacy and the
house of Mellon controlling our tax
system for their own benefit," he
asserted. "The j>eoplc are no longer
represented and unless they arc stop-j
ped and thrown out, this country
will get in the situation like Europe,
but instead of having earls and counts
we will have barons of industry with
the rest of the people vassals.
"That is the issue for the Demo-:
crats and unless they seize it and
fight it with all their power they
wont get anywhere. The Democratic
party has got to get back to its spirit |
of 1912. A soft, mealy mouthed i>ol-1
icy wont do.''
There is the crux of the matter.
There is the real issue.
. In other words, if the Democratic
party hopes to win, it must be Dem
ocratic. It must reassert ils time-1
honored principles of human rights
and human liberties, of equal rights
to all and special privileges to mn;', j
of the right of the people to control'
the affairs, of this nation for the ben- j
efit of all jK'ople. John Sharp Wil-1
liams the wise old gentleman, from
further South, sounded the same
warning, a few days ago, and if the
Democratic party really expects to
win an election, it must heed the (ad
vicc of Daniels and the voice of Wil
liams, as they assert the doctrine >1
government that actuated Jefferson,
that drove Jackson forward, that ele
vated Cleveland to the presidency,
and that placed Wilson at the high
est pinnacle upon which mortal man
ever stood to defend the inalienable
rights of,mankind.
