What we have wanted to see in Raleigh is for the people of the city to get behind the prohibition law and give it their aggressive sup port. We have contended that this is the only way to have the law en forced as it should be. We are, therefore, in thorough sympathy and accord with those citizens who met In friendly conference last night to discuss the situation and- take -'such steps as seemed necessary to focui. better conditions here and 'we'-.lior- oughly approve of the two !cci:::v. steps taken at the meeting' One'- of these steps is aimed at conditions as they exist and is designed to ii:ivo immediate results. It was the pass ing of a resolution asking the board of aldermen to appropriate $1,000, to be placed in the hands of the chief of police ' to -employ detectives or special officers in trailing the' blind tigers to their lairs. We want to note with approval here, too, the fact tliat the police commission met last night and asked that the board of aldermen appropriate $500 for the same purpose. It shows that Ral eigh is awake to the necessity of en forcing the law and that public sen timent is having its effect. We hope the board of aldermen will not hesi tate to make an appropriation for this work and $1,000 would be bet ter than $500 because there is a lot of work to do. Let's do it thor oughly. The other step taken last night was the call for the formation of a law and order league. Such a league could do a great work here. We ai e hopeful, and believe that the present manifestation of wrath againxt those who have shamelessly violated the law will sweep the blind tigers but ot the city. But we must look to the future. We may drive them out now but they will come back again whenever the people lay down their arms. One of the. speakers last night said that it is a "thirty years' war," and he is right. The price of freedom from this evil is "eternal vigilance." We need a law and order league to keep the people alive to the danger and through the peo ple to keep the officers alert and vigilant, and to help them when necessary. With a live law and order league we will hardly see conditions as bad here again as they are now. But it means light. Taking last night's meeting as an indication we believe the Raleigh people have had enough and that they are ready to fight and keep on fighting. WANT THK EVIDENCE. "Raleigh officials are making a grandstand play by issuing 'ad testi ficadum' papers for Superintendent Davis, of the State ' Anti-Saloon League. Mr. Davis had offered sev eral samples of blind tiger liquor, purchased without any trouble in Raleigh. 'He refused to name the party who made the purchase. It is the business of officials to prosecute these cases, not that of Superintend ent Davis. It is probable that these officials would find no great difficulty in securing evidence If they made a -strenuous effort, without being forced to rely upon an outsider to furnish the . proofs." Charlotte News. -, Raleigh officials have not Issued any papers of any kind far Superln tendont DstIs, nnd If in.-, haw had.off a f0rrvuOf.t lu a closed carriage. J any idea of doing so they have not made it public. They have asked him for information as to how he got his liquor. As he doesn't care to tell the matter is probably ended in so far as Mr. Davis is concerned. So far as we are concerned we be lieve Mr. Davis is doing right in not giving the name of the person who bought whiskey for him. We can't have a very high opinion of a man who is not an officer of the law who will buy whiskey and then report it. But -we do not believe that Mr. Davis has helped matters in Raleigh except in the sentiment that he has created against the traffic. He has not shown us how to catch bHnd tigers. He has shown us that they are here, but we knew that before his demonstration. The chief of police here, we have no doubt, con id follow Mr. Davis' plan, that is ho could get some responsible man, more than one for that matter, to buy whiskey for him if he would give assurance that the buyer would not then be summoned up as a wit ness. But the chief hasn't the right, as an official to do it, and even it he did do it, it would do no good. He would not be getting evidence. This is why we say Mr. Davis didn't tell us how to catch - them.' The other man. whose evidence is worth anything, has just as many scruples about following Mr. Davis' pian as; Mr. Davis has himself. I THK ItKI'l'HI.lt'AX VOXVKXTIOX. "Colonel Olds, it appears, is pu'.I- j ir.g tor the republican state eonveii ; tion for Italeigh. We hope lie will not pull too strong. He will have tho big democratic affair and about everything else in sight. Charlotte wants its 'republican friends for a special reason. They are good fel lows and there is going to be more fun to the square inch in their con vention than in the . whole of the democratic affair. This is a mighty small favor Charlotte asks of Ral eigh, and Raleigh ought to be gen erous." Charlotte Chronicle. If we can persuade them to conic here we will think it is pretty bi-; favor 'you are asking if you want u to give them up.'. Down this way we think Charlotte ought to be gen erous, ton had both the conventions four years ago and the democratic convention two years ago. Greens boro, also, as well as Charlotte, has been having her share of the poli tical conventions and it is really Ral eigh's time. Let's square the ac count by giving Raleigh both of them this year; then it will be time enough to talk about dividing and being generous. And by the way. speaking of fun, we somehow have an idea that if the convention is held in Raleigh it will furinsh more fun than if held anywhere else. The second month of the new ;ear, according to The Tradesman, starts in with a good line of inquiries in hand and the southern iron manu facturers satisfied with the general conditions, everything considered. The quotations are firm on a basis oi $10.25 per ton. No. 2 foundry, though some consumers are holding off in the expectation of getting $10 iron still. Much attention is beil'g given to the investigations by the interstate commerce commission into rates out of the southern territory, the past week the investigation be ing as to the rate from Birmingham to New Orleans, while the formal complaint as to the rates to thr Ohio gateway is now ready for sub mission and something Is looked for on that line in the near future. As far as can be learned, the manufac turers In this section of the country are not making any effort to get business for the last half of the year. , It Is expected that before the time for buying for the third and, fourth quarters comes on there will have been a chance for the bet ter in prices and demand and then again there has been so much iron sold ahead that it Is not considered exactly necessary to look after busi ness this early in the game. Development in all lines through out the sou'h and southwest points to a return to more normal condl ditlons. Particularly true is this In the organization ot new Industries.

A tem peramental defect of the president is responsible for any doubt that may exist as to the attitude of. New York. William Barnes, the ; New York boss, says doggedly that he is against any instructions in York for any candidate, Barnes has not forgiven the president for re fusing him and when lie was engag ed with Theodore Roosevelt in a death struggle for control of New- York republican' party in liUO. Barnes made his light then against Roosevelt, because he said Roosevelt was trying to destroy the Taft administration, and 'dominate the republican party in order to be come te nominee tor presim'iu in 1SM-2. The real fight, lie claimed then was against Taft, and lie was outraged because Tatt, knowing tins well as he. did not extend him aid.

Tlie republican.- ' were; beaten in that state for the first time in eigh teen vears. and the republican party- was left split -and disorganized. The wreck of the organization was turn ed over to Barnes, and Roosevelt went back to Oyster Bay. Now- Barnes wishes to punish 'the; pres ident lor 'his' inactivity, when the crucial tight was on with the party in New York. But notwithstanding Barnes's hunger for revenge, it is altogether probable that the repub lican convention in New York will send an ironclad Taft delegation to the national convention because, the New , York republican loves Taft more, but .because they love .Roose velt -less.' Montgomery Advertiser. The Service of Song. The discussion going on in some of the papers about church-music is timely. The "matter is of more im portance than many of the lead ers of our churches imagine. As a matter of fact no attenton whatever is paid to this part of the church service by the people whose judg ment is best. The -deacons would be laughed at if they undertook to regulate the church music and even the pastor is limited to the selec tion of three hymns. All the rest is ... controlled and directed by people who sometimes feel no interest in the welfare .of. -the church beyond the reputation of the chor. In many of the larger and more prominent churches the singers are hired to praise the Lord in song, and in ar ranging tlie budget for the year the music enters in as part of the gen eral expense the same as tlie salary of the pastor or sexton. Choirs of this kind usually prefer to do their own singing. Congregational sing ing is not to their taste. It jars on their nerves. It is nor artistic or classic, and cannot be. Therefore, tlie larger part of the service of song is a nexclusjve service in which the people have no part. There is a notion among some peo ple' that this class of music draws, and that it gives tone and class to the church, It may do the latter, but as a drawing card its influence is very limited indeed. The aver age man cares not a whit about it and the average man is supposed to be the man tlie church was estab lished to reach. Cultivated -musicians are 'no doubt attracted, by' the artistic and classic rendering of a musical program, and there are al-1 ways a few who want to be consid-j ered persons of musical taste but who in fact are painfully bored, who attend these Sunday concerts, but the plain every day men and women bearing life's burden, and needing the strength and comfort of a spir itual service, go where they get these things. The church where all the people sing Is the church where ( you will iind the folks that is the real folks, or course the music should be bright and soulful and ap propriate, but the point is that everybody ought to feel welcome to take part In the service of song, and not confine it to a few who imag ine that they have wonderful voices and that the Lord has called upon them to sing for the whole congre gation at so much per song. Char ity and Children. No man, not even Roosevelt, that past-master of self-advertisement, occupies at this time a larger place in the thoughts of his fellow coun trymen than Woodrow Wilson. An Instinct for self-preservation has led thoughtful men everywhere to look for a guide and leader who will steer the course of this nation through the changes that lie before it. By training, by Inheritance, by tho endowment" of groat natural gifts, by the equipment of profound mastery of the basic principles of politics, by a wonderful power for j clear thought and lucid expression, j by personal courage and by high in- , tegrity C.overnor Wilson has focused tagonist in a campaign for the nom nation of a gentleman who a few ve:rs before had ilesired to see "Mr. 'hry.dn knocked "lnJ0 a cocked hat." Today Mr. Bryan comes forward and declares that Woodrow Wilson is fortunate in having lost the sup port of Co'lonel Harvey and Har pers Weekly, "because such support naturally aroused suspicion as to the sincerity of one or the other." ! Evidently, Mr. Bryan bears no mal ice. But. why should a dispassion ate public see anymore ground for suspicion in the breach with Harvey than in the' alliance with Bryan? At the Jackson Day banquet. Gov ernor Wilson said of Mr. Bryan: "He is the one man whose, broaden ed Jtiind has been able to see what is the matter and to point it out to i the public." To which of Mr. Bryan's glimpses did Governor Wil son refer' And wherein has ' Mr. Bryan's mind broadened, except it be in an amiable forgiveness for one who desired to see him knocked into a cocked hat ? Mr. Bryan has renounced none of his nostrums; he has only abandon ed them. Free silver, government ownership of railroads, anti-imperialism, bank guarantees, attacks on the '--supreme court- -all these "para mount issues" still occupy tlie sad position of kings in exile; they wear the glory of a van ished past : they have.no power in the present. The Times-Dispatch does not de sire that Kovernor Wilson should go out of his way to assault Mr. Bryan's- -friends or feelings or slay the thrice slain. "To criminate and recriminate," said Burke, "never yet was th'.' road to reconciliaton in any difference among men." The Times Dirpatch desires the succes of the democratic, party; that succes can not be secured without harmony, but many of Governor Wilson's friends are constrained to feel that tin1 harmony of silence does not ne cessarily imply a harmony of eulogy. What troubles Governor Wilson's friends is the dfficulty of harmonizing his present attitude with his past professions. The test of 'power has been applied: that test which "alone can with any certain ty discover w hat at the bottom is the true character of any man." lt is the outcome of this test that the i public is watching today. Because , he has been raised to such an em-j neuce of fame by his great gifts, be- j cause his .capacity .to serve is such,! because the need of service is so' present, the people cannot but look! narowly at every section and at! every expresison that tend to give J the true character and quality of j Woodrow Wilson. On the occasion of his visit to Rchmond Governor Wilson can speak for himself; he can trace the i processes which led him from an; abhorrence of the initiative and ref erendum as subversive of all repre sentative government to a modified acceptance of those principles; he can rehearse the conditions which led him-out of the ranks of the con-j servatives into the ranks of the rail-j Icals; and he doubtless will set forth I the reasons for his changed attitude towards Mr. Bryan. None of these viewpoints are in: themselves mat ters of profound or determining mo ment. It Is only as they show a EXPLANATORY NOTES, Observation taken t 1 1. m.. neventy-rtfth me- Tldlan time.
