' OTR SI’RF AC ED ROADS. * "Only seven of the 48 States in the United Stafes had more surfaced roads at the end of 1022 than did North Caro lina. This fact is established in a re port of the federal ’lVpaf tntem of Agri culture which had just made a survey of the entire country. In these seven States only one—Geor gia—was in the South. At the end of 1022 North Carolina had 16,755 miles of surfaced roads and Georgia had 18.000. In the matter of building roads in 1022 North Carolina ranked third among all of the States, Only Michigan and Indi ana built more surfaced roads last year than did North Carolina which completed 2,115.9 miles of roads. The figures showing surfaced roads in the leading States show: Indiana 30.857 miles; Ohio 30,067 miles: Wisconsin 10,714 miles; New Yo*k 18,566 miles : Georgia 18,000 miles : Michigan 17,180 miles; Minnesota 16,- f)O4 miles; North Carolina 16,755 miles: Kentucky 15.436 miles; Texas 14.833 miles; California 14.275 miles; Pennsyl vania 13.021 miles. Following is a table of the ten high est States in 1022 in surfaced roads add ed to their systems during that year : Michigan, 2.570 miles; Indiana 2.435 miles; North Carolina 2.115.0 miles; Texas, 2.103 miles; Minnesota. 2.077.0 miles; Wisconsin, 1,058.1 miles: New York. 1.043.5 miles: Colorado 1.030.0 miles; Ohio, 1.205 miles; Georgia 1,030 miles. One of the surprising things about this report is the fact that North Carolina has more surfaced roads than California. In fact there are a number of States that outdistance California in this re spect, yet the Pacific State has received much publicity from her roads. That is because she talks about them and boosts them. We have more here to talk about than California. t TEST FOR OBREGON. v The present attempted revolution in ,] Mexico will test President Obregon. v During the past several years Mexico has r thrived under the leadership of this man and the rest of the world had about come to the conclusion that he was go- ! ing to continue his progressive rnarkh 1 without interruption from internal soure- c es, but it seems that Mexicans still have , much to learn and are not yet ready to 1 adopt modern methods of noting displeas- t ure with conditions or officials. a The latest news from the revolution * states that .Talapa has been taken by the insurgents. The fighting, according to ‘ the reports, was spirited by the rebels captured the capital of the State of Vera , Crux without big loss of life. I The revolt is the most serious situa- i tion with which President Obregon has i s been confronted in some time and its out come probably will determine his infln-‘ ( enee and leadership in the future. If , he can successfully repel the attacks, , both of a military and political nature, he will have established himself without question as among Mexico’s greatest men. Frank W. Stearns, closest of Presi dent Coolidge's friends, announces that the President will be a candidate next year. The announcement came as no surprise to the American people. They have Vlt all along that the President was a candidate and the statement from Mr. Stearns is just a forwal way of pot ting it over. President Coolidge is going to be a hard man to be# in the HefmWl can race for nomination and he is grime to be f bard man to beat in the regular Presidential election race. We believe I that he will ‘have little difficulty in s»- curim tV nomination, but that does not mean that he will be re-elected by any mea*. . % 1 ■ administration of the PROHIBITION SERVICE ‘.. William Dudley Foulke Says Repeal of Law Is Inevitable Unless Law Is Mod ified. ; Washington, Dec. 7.—Repeal or i amendment of the Volstead act is inevit able, unless there is a modification of the I present system of appointing enforce ment offices, William Dudley Foulke, president of the National City Service Reform League, asserted last night be fore the forty-third annual convention of the League. > The administration of the prohibition service was described by Mr. Foulke as “a frightful yet profitable objection les son of the inherent vices of the spoils system,” which he said was resulting in a serious public reaction against the Volstead law. He predicted, however, that attempts to repeal or amend the law during the present session of Con gress would not be successful. Cases in which prohibition agents and state directors bad been convicted of cor ruption under both the Democratic and Republican administrations were cited by the speaker as "merely samples from the bulk.” "The"- post of state director and en forcement agent were the most coveted of the patronage plums,” he continued, “because bribery rendered them very profitable. Appointments were made on the behests of Senators and Represonta -1 tives who in their turn generally follow ed the demands of the state, county and local political organizations, and the worst men with the strongest political backing secured the places.” Prohibition Commissioner Haynes and Attorney General Daugherty were accus ed by Mr. Foulke of pursuing e "policy of concealment” regarding violations of the law by their subordinates, the ef fect of which had been to lull the friends of law and order into a false sense of se curity. Now that the real condition is becoming'known, lie added, public confi dence in Commissioner Haynes' official statements has been utterly destroyed. "Since the prohibition commissioner was appointed through the influence of tjhe A 111,1-8:1 loon Lejague.f said Mr. Foulke, "that League must accept its share of the odium not only for the lark of enforcement, but for the concealment and false claim that the law was well enforced.” The Civil Service Reform League, the speaker said, would enter no compro mise. but would resist all current pro posals looking to partial classification of the prohibition force. "We insist." lie added, “that any das sifiention wiheh leaves the seeds of cor ruption still in the. enforcement service is not reform at all but a perpetuation of iniquity and that the whole service must be classified and competitive exami nations held for all. The-horrible cor ruption in the enforcement unit warns us that we must leave no loopholes. "We may well be defeated and get a > classi fication at all but even that is far bet ter than to classify part and thereby perpetuate the scandal.” While Mr. Foulke’s address was devot ed principally to prohibition enfSfi-cement. he took occasion to criticise Attorney General Daugherty and other adminis tration officials who he said had sought to have "key positions” in the govern ment service excepted from civil service requirements. here key positions are given to par tisans." he said, "the other places fall like a row of dominoes under political control and the whole si>oils system with its paralyzing abuses is back again. It is not only the key positions that these office peddlers desire; their ultimate aim is to get all places restored to the spoils system.” Attorney General Daugherty was said by Mr. Foulke to be acting on the prin ciple ."that the most juicy plums of of fice ought to be given, not for public purposes, but to those who would best promote tin- political fortunes of his-par ty." After citing various political ap pointments made by the Attorney Gener | ah Mr.' Foulke continued : i "It was natural to expect that in a department thus controlled tile subor i dinate officials would give cause for scaiMal in enforcement of the Volstead | law; and so it was. Before Mr. Daugh | erty became Attorney General, a I arge : ; quantity of liquor was seized and stdred in a warehouse i n Washington, and on May 18, 11)22, more than a year and two : months after Mr. Daugherty took office. , the Federal Grand Jury reported that ’certain representatives of the Depart ment of Justice disposed of the liquor irf various ways, viz.: by appropriating it to their own use. Though this report was published and a copy sent to each member of Congress there were no in dictments and some of the guilty men were long retained in the service in im portant positions." Recalling the charge of Representative Upshaw, Democrat, Georgia, that boot legging flourished in the Capitol Build ing. Mr. Foulke added: "Yet, Mr. Upshaw gave no names, ex icept confidentially to the prohibition commissioners, who did not publish them. If his charges were true, Congressmen themselves were protecting bootlegging, and by their secrecy, the Prohibition Commissioner amd Representative Up shaw himself hud protected the Congress men."

Butler, republican national committeeman for Massachusetts and al so a personal and political friend of Mr. Coolidge, it was stated, will act as the I’resident's personal representative in the campaign. The statement follows: "In answer u> a question Frank W. Stearns stated that the friends of Presi dent Coolidge are organizing under the guidance of William M.

Dec. 7.—A strange sight was witnessed on Forty-third Street to- I day by a throng of theatre-goers who gathered to witness a liquor raid ami i saw, instead. Federal prohibition agents j carry 8200,000 Worth of real pre-war I stuff in|o—Hot out of—the cellar of Jack's restaurant. Thfi liquor was seized in that same cellar two years ago. It was returned today by order of Federal Judge God dard. who held the method of confisca tion had been illegal. Although the case was recorded on the docket as "the Uflited States vs. 26 I gallons of gin." all the liquid fixtures of jin oldtime bar were lugged into the cellar. Everything was in bottles with age stained labels—Scotch, rye, claret, fermouth, Benedictine, cordials, brandies, a 'dozen or so of champagne—and gin. John Dunston. owner of the restau rant and the liquor, stood beside the cellar door, wearing a broad grin and EVERETT TRUE BY CONDO 'woman, uiHAT inthis IF yoo Must > . kORCC Vou 'i kNCM/0,, XIT’S pCASTeRINSan I seAUT'f; CCAV. - You'll, msed Cots it I '] t> l O 1 P \ Yes, 1 Cot \ €~NOUC£H *=©!* i the President’s personal representative.

The declaration of the candidacy, however, has come as no surprise at this time fol lowing as it does his declaration of poli cies in his annual message to Congress and coinciding with the annual meeting here this week of the republican national committee and with what is regarded as virtually the select ion of Cleveland, through the withdrawal by Chicago last night of its invitation, for the republi can national convention next year. showing tile Federal prohibition men | where he wanted the stuff stored. | When three big red moving vans rum j bled up to the restaurant and a score of I officers jumped to ,enrb. such a crow’d gathered that police reserves were called out and when the officers swung cases on shoulders and headed for the cellar rt took more police to stem the tide that crushed toward the restaurant’s swinging half doors. A few oldtime patrons of the place shed tears of joy at the sight. A few women peered at the hardworking agents and smiled on the proprietor, but for the most part the crowd was strangely silent. Dunston said he wonld keep liis stock intact, in the hope of a return of days that- used to be. He figured it was worth $100,006 when it was seized. Pro hibition agents said it was worth $200,- 000. t r DINNER STORIES • it i ■11 ■ 11 ..I i n i Polite to the Last. ■ Warden (to murderer in electric 1 chair) —“Is there anything you would 1 like to do or say before I push the fntaf | button?” Thoughtful Murderer—“ Yes, kind sir, i I would like to get up and give my seat , to*a lady.” .
