CONGRESSMAN THOMAS' LA
TEST WORK.
Congressman Charles R. Thomas
of the Third N. C. District, is
keeping up with affairs, although
his term of office is soon to end.
Tlis position on the apportionment
bill and his activity on it are but
little known, unless by those who
keep fully informed on Congres
sional matters at Washington. In
this connection the following from
the Charlotte Chronicle shows pret
ty clearly what Mr. Thomas did.
"From some of the newspaper re
ports, the inference might be drawn
that all Congressman Thomas did in the
apportionment matter, was to offer an
amendment to give North Carolina an
additional member, under the Congres
sional apportionment bill, His speech
and his argument before the committee
as published in the Congressional Rec
ord, show clearly that he went far
yond that. He took an especially ac
tive part in an effort for a larger house,
He not only worked for 433 members,
but offered an amendment to increase
the members four more. "This amend
ment," he said, "is according to the
method of 1850, and it seems to me that
is simpler and mayebe more just and
equitable than the method adopted by
the committee, which is, according to
the Wilcox plan of apportionment.' This
ament gives North Carolina an addition
al member, Mississippi one more, and
Ohio one more; in all, 437." The amend
merit was lost, Mr, Thomas argued that
the Representative should be close to
the people, Congressional districts over
large in population remove him further
from the people. A large number of
people to represent adds to the work
and responsibility of a Representative,
which has certainly increased, especial
ly in the last two decades. During his
service of twelve years in the House,
Mr. Thomas has put up a number of
good fights for the people of this State,
but perhaps none more effective than
this one.
INFRINGEMENT OF
PROHIBITION LAW
Last week's Superior Court of
'Craven county, developed what
might b3 termed a new phase in
the local prohibition situation, in
the practical elimination of the
beer near beer saloon. Up to a few
weeks ago, a government license
and a tin sign with "near beer"
printed upon it were deemed suffi
cient to entitle any man to open
business with no fear of police inter
ference. But a municipal raid and
the court has dispelled this illu
sion of safety, and fines, imprison
ment and road work have been the
portion of near beer dealers. And
so it must appear that near beer
selling is an infringement pt the
prohibition law, not that near beer
itself was actually responsible for
the trouble, for the testimony in
court showed that whiskey was
sold, but nevertheless near beer
licenses are cot now obtainable in
New Bern. It is not correct to con
demn near beer for these court sen
tences, andjet can. any . rear beer
seller honestly, say that he .went
into the'business to. sell only near
beer! And a ". further question
might be asked, does the public
thirst demand whiskey instead of
near beer to satisfy this thirst T
Evidently it does, else there would
have been none for sale. - '
There are many phases of the
prohibition law, ij its ifrlnge
me'nt There are violations that
may be said to be against law but
not against society, fend this latter
phase is one of the most peculiar,
for it would appear impossible that

strict technical spirit of the law!
It is this very phase, is society in
jured, that so often secures vcr
diets that clear those who sell al
coholic stimulants either with or
without license, for often the pur
chaser through necessity or so
judged, regards the transaction
"if
be-Loni a purely personal standpoint,
feeling not guilty himself, there
fore will not condemn the seller tho
he maybe deemed guilty enough
for a rest and trial, as the statute,
indicate. Is the jury verdict, w;hcn
it clears an alleged violator of the
prohibition law, the just sign that
discriminates, and says that soci
ety has not been injured by the
sale!
THE CONSIGNOR
AND PROHIBITION.
Another phase in prohibition
prosecution, is that of the ship
men t of alcoholic liquors into dry
towns, and to determine upon
whom the burden of guilt may be
placed for assisting in this. The
law giving the transportation com
panies and the express companies
the right to carry alcoholic liquors
from wet to -dry territory,' those
taking the prosecution side against
those- receiving the prohibition
goods, bricg the prohibition law in
force against the receivers who are
usually the alleged sellers. So far
in all cases in New Bern, and this
citv is Drobablv a fair illustration
v
of the rule prevailing elsewhere,
the consignor is immune, as to any
liability to the prohibition law.
ft he consignee has to do the dodging
and pay the penalty if caught.
The consignor may Jose his goods
but the gain, in profits, is worth
the risk, and so packages and barrels-come
to the order of John
Smith or some name that has no
special in dividuality. It has never
been difficult for some owner, ac
tual or not to raise the express or
freight money and secure these
goods, In these consignments,
bills of lading are of course sent
through the banks, with drafts at
tached. These drafts like all drafts
are held by the banks subject to
the order of the consignor, the
shipper. After arrival, orders have
been sent the banks, ordering a
change of consignee This is de
clared a violation of the prohibi
tum law, and prosecution threat
ened the banks. - If the burden is
il... A- I I J
inun u piawu utxoraiuiiy upon
the banks, it would seem that a
full solution of the issue of carry
ng wet goods into try territory
was determined. If the banks,
who are simply carriers of the
drafts and bills of lading are liable
to indictment, so must the express
and transportation companies that
convey the actual goods be subject
to indictment, vtnd why not the
consignor, who putthe draft iu the
bank, and shipped the wet goods?
Iu fact the ramifications ran be so
drawn but as to make ridiculous
the prohibition law, in making it
apply to things and territory where
it is not a law. . It is taking a law
from its proper statutory position,
and making iteffectivt upoupure
ly sentimental grounds. There can
be only one end to any law when
it reaches this phase of action.
