Prohibition Convention.

On Thursday of last week coun.
ty prohibition convention was held
ut the court house, the purpose be-
ing to select delegates to the State
convention, which meets July LIST.
The proceedings will DO seen else.
where. ) At night DR.. L. A. Rowan
and Rev. Mr.. Galloway, of Brook.
haven, addressed large audience,
at the Methodist church, the former
combining himself principally to the
status of the whisky question IN Go.
piah, while the latter was general
IN his remarks. DR.. Rowan gave
in substance tho agreement entered
into before the passage Of the pres.
emit prohibitory law, and he stated
the case properly. He referred to q
recent communication written by
gu. No." who took the ground that
tho question had never been sub
mitted to the people. This the doc.
tor declared had been done by way
of petition-that n majority of tho
citizens had pctitioned the passageof
a prohibitory law. The idea inten-
dcd to be conveyed by "U No" was
that the question had not been sub.
mittcd toa vote.
Mr., aGalloway's argument was
very iue-and indeed he makes no
failures in that line. Ho dwelt Mt
length upon the failure of our Off.
GERS to execute the laws, and said n
prohibitory law was essential rs the
court officers allowed violatcrs of the
law to escape with a nominal fine.
He was particularly severe upon
District Attorneys who posti.uted
their position for the purpose of
gain; that parties with several indic,-
ments against thcm-selling to minors
among the rest-were allowed to
plead guilty of unlawful retailing
in one or two cases, pay the mini
mum fine and the attorneys fee
and thus the matter ends. There is
much truth in this, but We are sure
Mr.. Galloway did not have in his
minds eye our very efficient District
Attorney, II. n. Miller, who has
been vigilant in the discharge of ev.
cry duty incumbent upon him. We
daresay no one can say he ever in.
duccd man to plead guilty for tie
purpose of self.agrandizement. He
is above suspicion in this respect.
While we agree with tho dlstin-
guishcd speaker that there may be
individual cases of the kinds men.
toned, We are not prepared to be.
lieve that all Or even q considerable
part of our Judges and District At.
torncys arc in collision with crimi.
nails.
The speech of Mr.. Galloway was
a mastery effort, and his argument
was unanswcrablc. He has u pleas.
ing, captivating way of speaking,
and on this OCCASION the audience
were enraptured by his eloquence
and deep carnestness.
