DIR. KELLEY SAYS CURE THEM

The success of the Kelley Treatment at
Greensboro. n. c., in the cure of drunken
ness, etc, has opened up new possibilities
in the field of temperance work. 1t is GER
tainly best to prevent. if possible, the
formation of the taste for liquor, but
when this taste has been acquired moral
sentiment ends and medical science be-
gins. The question arises What shall
be done with the Drunkard?" The church
says Convert him. the Legislature says
Punish him. DR.. Kelley says Cure
Him
That drunkenness can be cured is
shown by the testimony of the men cured
at Greensboro, and that the people, gen.
orally believe in it is shown by the fact
that men are almost daily seeking relief
at the institute there.

ing the Democratic party.
We advert to this fact only to say that
by Juggling in such matter to fill up, he
shows conclusively that he would find
nothing better bearing ON the question
and that would sustain his position
against the amendment.

For some reason he is irritated with Mr.
Simmons and he cannot explain his views
as to the advantage to the public of adopt
ing or rejecting a proposed constitutional
amendment without personal vituperatior
and slanderous assaults on an individual
And indeed the greater part of his artl
Gle is devoted to abuse of Mr.. Simmons
and the Democratic party. But it is nc
new thing that Mr.. Simmons and the
Democratic party do not please Mr.. But

seek to please him, and are quite uncon
erned that he hurls vituperation at them

cs" and if there was no danger behind

tics" and if there was no danger behind
it.
There is indeed but one way to test it.,
but one way to ascertain whether 1t Is
constitutional or not, and that Is to adopt
it and see what the court has to say
about it. To vote it down prevents the
court from having a chance to pass on
its constitutionality.
If it is good thing it can have life
only from the breath Of the voters. If 1t
is good thing, it should be given
chance-not killed at the polls because
somebody says the court might say it is
unconstitutional.
But if the court would pronounce 1T
constitutional, then it ought not to be
killed at the polls-if it is a good thing.
And so, after all, the question for the
voters of the State is: Is this measure
one that appeals to our best Judgment
as a proper exercise of our power for the
advantage and benefit of the people OF
North Carolina!
The people should ask themselves. Do
we want this measure? Do we want TO
have the law so that all white men can
vote. and all illiterate negroes cannot
vote? Do we want to have the law so
that the mass of illiterate negroes Will
not terrorize communities where they are
crowded together and dominate the poll
tics of the State? Do we want to have
the law so that great crowds OF ignorant
negroes cannot put in power and sustain
in power vicious and vile rulers, who
are an offenSe to decency and who de
grade the administration of public affairs
If so, here is a measure calculated and
intended to correct that evil. The RENE
dy is submitted to the people of Nortn
Carolina by the State Legislature fol
their approval. Do they approve it; II Sc
let them say so at the polls.

A RESUME.

To sum UP Senator Buffers argu-,
ment. then: He makes the ridiculous sug-
gestion that the 9Th section may be held
unconstitutional" since it admits people
to the ballot box; and basing AN argument
on that absurd suggestion, he argues that
many illiterate white men i'll the State
NAV be DISTINGUISHED. But even If the
court should hold that the 9th section was
all right, and that the entire plan Is alb
solutely lawful and constitutional, he
would still oppose the whole thing be-
cause. first, the town negroes are not
disfranchised while the country negroes
are. (How long will it be before Mr.
RutIer will be holding night caucuses
With the leaders of these despised town
darkies. and sending them out into the
country to infame the good country dar-
kies he talks about against the white, and
to mt him back in Officer and secondly
hecause the negroes are still allowed to
hold office; and third, because some boys
of twelve years of age now may not learn
how to read and write by the year 1908,
and fourth, because some men may not
pay their poll tax before the first of
March.

he would support the amendment if 1T
was constitutional and would result IN

on Appropriations. Gn the Legislative. Ex-
ecutive. and Judicial Appropriation bill
yesterday. and asked that he be given the
same amount appropriated last year for
running the Pension Office. which was
s.. OCT, 900. Mr.. Evans says he will be per
festly satisfied II the committee will treat
him as they did last year. He is not ask
ing for any increase in his force OF clerks.
Commissioner Hermann, of the General
Land Office. was also before the committee
and made a statement as TO the needs OF
his Office. He does not ask for any ma
terial increase.
Commissioner Hermann thinks all Of the
public domain should be under the iuris-
diction of the Interior Department. and
that the present land laws should extend
to the newly acquired domain as far as
applicable. There is some talk that the
Committee on Public Lands will report
bill extending the public land laws to
Porto Rico, Hawaii. and the Philippines.
