We also wonder just how much

should.
Tom Bo.t, veteran newspaper man,
and well-known student of affairs
and human nature, is the only one
who appeared before the committee,
. in lialeii'h, favoring the enactment of
the Hill Liquor Control Bill, to whose
argument we would pay a great deal
of attenlioh; and, in our humble opin
ion, even Tom was wrong, this time.

After il is all thought through cave
fully, and weighed in the balance of
human experience, about all t^'
liquor is ,';''w>d for is to act- a man

Assembly, allewhur defmda:ts in

Contendere, and then let the pre id
ing judge hear the evidence, and, if
he sees fit, have a verdict of not
guilty entered, has done more to
save time of the courts and cut down
court costs to counties, than any one
tiling that has happened in our re
collection. At the same time, it re
sults in far more convictions of law
violations than was formerly the case.
It speeded up the slow-grinding mills!
of justice in this State. '
!/V.
The Supreme Court confirms
Shakespeare. "All tiftht glisters, is
not gold.".
Judge Rousseau, hailing from North,
Wilkcboro, is a young man who is j
holding . his first term of Jackson i
.?ounty court. The people. like him, j
and his manner of disposing of tin
criminal calendar, mixing courtesy
with firmness and tempering the sur
ity of his justice with gentleness anil
a degree of mercy. Those who violate
the law know that they have to pay
the penalty of their violations, yei
there is no harsh or rash judgn\etsv
meted out, and they can but feel thai
i hey have had a fair deal. Any county
is a better place to live after this
now jurist Wilkes has given us has
held court in it.
The passage by the General Assem
bly of the slot machine act, brings to
mir.d the question of whether it will
be effective or will be just another
Jaw to clutter up the books. It is now
unlawful to (M)ssess liquor, yet liquor
is possessed by people all over North
Carolina 1'he passage of the bill gi\es
tin1 drys .-mother argument. The chiet
slay of the wets is that the- law isn i
enforced, yet the ( ieneral Assembly,
considering the repeal of liquor laws,
continues to make other prohibitory
{and regulatory statutes, not a whii
{(.<s u;ir^j?S'wable. and based uj>on the
cime geqei ai principles as ijie anti
iiijiior laws.
