THE ANr1.sAIooN MOVEMENT

We publish today statement with re-
gard to the inauguration of the Anti
Saloon Movement. prepared by DR., 4. J.
McKelway, editor of the Presbyterian
Standard, at the direction of the execu-
tive committee of the Anti Saloon Move
ment organized some days ago in Raj
eigh.
The growth Of the anti-saloon sentiment
in the past few years in North Carolina
has been marked, rapid, and satisfactory.
There are weight counties in the
saries. seven counties that have dispen-
saries and 70 saloons, and three that,
while having saloons in the county, have
only dispensary at the county-seat In
the other counties, saloons are permit
ted only in Incorporated towns except III
about half a dozen counties. and it is
only question of a short time when no
county license will be issued except in
Incorporated towns. A few counties have
Incorporated cTOSS-Fodus pldCS LelSiJ
for the purpose of securing license. The
abolition of such interpretations would be
long step in the direction of sensible
reform.
With the education of the people the
temperance spirit will spread and the day
will come when the saloon will no lon
ger be licensed in North Carolina. This
will come step by step as public senti-
ment demands 1t and is ready for it.

GOVERNMENT BY CLUB.

When Mr. Reed claimed and exercised
tho right to count members present and
not voting in order to make quorum il
was distinctly claimed that it was done
TO prevent the minority from stopping,
the wheels of legislation. Some of his
methods We're high handed enough, but
there was good argument in favor of his
counting the members TO constitute
quorum.
The method pursued in the House now
is to prevent q majority from voting on
any measure not approved by the com
mittee on rules. That steering commit
tee, which is practically the House, was
afraid to permit any one to offer an
amendment to the war tax bill. They
knew that upon a roll-call some Repub-
l;cans would vote TO take away pro-
lection from the steel trust. They did
not dare to permit such a vote. and thus
stifled the real will of the majority.
