lFor the Observer.

Mr.. Editor: The present Legis-
lature has a difficult road to travel.
Unless its every action is marked BY
wisdom and prudence, there is a ho;
future for the Democratic party, OF
which l claim to be q member. The
question of prohibition must be
handled, not as a political measure,
but as one that will bring the great
est blessing to North Carolina tina:
the State has ever had. provided the
prohibition hu is adopted By the
Legislature, not lodged by learmy
It to The PEOPLE. Some say it will
kill "our party" to pass the prohibi-
ton law. flour party" is kept up
on whisky, | say let it go down. II
the members of the Legislature from
Orange tail TO do their duty in Civ
lug to the people the relief demand
ed in this trying hour, they need
never go before the people any
more.
| predict the following, which will
do to cut out and paste in a scrar
book In q week or SO from now, or
just before adjournment, a bill will
be passed submitting the question
OF prohibition to the people. 1t a
majority of the people vote Tor it, it
will be contested in the courts. Re-
snl, !: 1t will be declared %uncons,itu-
tional on the ground that the people
cannot make a law. The Demo.
cratic party, which is now in a large
majority IN the Legislature, cU be
held responsible TOR this farce.
