"HUsBaND THE UNDER DOG"

The tendency of the law has for years
been all in the direction OF giving to wo-
men every right at the law that men
enjoy. Some OF them have come after
long conflict, but year by year the wo-
mon have been given one concession af-
ter another until the men are becoming
alarmed lest they should have no more
rights than the married woman had an
hundred years ago.

prohibition laws could be settled by
special legislation.
The Legislature alone has the power
to settle the shipping of liquors or the
establishment of distilleries in prohibition
territory and should settle it definitely
and for all time with a general State
law, so that when the people of any
section declare for prohibition they
should have it pure and simple without
jugs from other parts or government dis
tilleries in their midst. The argument
that prohibition don't prohibit and en-
courages illegal moonshine liquor is all
rot. Ask any liquor distiller, and if he
will, he will state that 'moonshining"
only prospers where there is legal
place of sale for it either at gov
eminent still or a saloon where the il
legal moonshine liquor can be brought
and boldly sold under the law along with
the other liquors. Shut up the legal
place of sale and you close up the chief
outlet for the moonshine liquor. Such
is so we'll known that the government
expects and anticipates such Irregular
ties and always searches just here Tor
them and generally finds such to be the
case, and there is far less moonshining
in prohibition territories than where
government stills abound. So let our
Legislature move up along the lines of
temperance and sobriety, and lessen
crime and poverty and encourage peace
and prosperity and grow people free
from degeneracy, imbecility and insanity
and other blighting curses of alcoholism.

THE LILY WHITES AND OFFICES

The men who have been paraded as
the accessions to the Lily White RepuD-
lican party In North Carolina and the
South are, in nearly every instance, moth
ing but office-seekers, ready to sell their
birth-right for a mess of pottage. Some
of them got the promise of the job be-
fore they jumped in. Others jumped in
because their long noses scented the pie
from afar. The fiction that any con-
siderable number of business men in the
South are inclined to join the
Republican party is "an irridescent
dream" Do you wish proof? In the
Ninth Congressional district of North
Carolina the Democrats named for Con-
gress a headed and honest young
Kansas City National Democratic plat
form. 1t was in a district in which
the cotton mill vote could control 1t
was in the district in which the Lily
White Republican daily is printed and is
enormously supposed to have political
influence In order to test the matter, a
manufacturer, the president Of the South
ern Cotton Spinners Association, was
named as the Republican candidate for
Congress. What was the result? The
regular Democrat was elected by twice
as large a majority as it was expected
any Democrat could carry the district
when it was created by the last Legisla-
ture. Even some of the Commercial
Lily Whites, seeing the deluge, ran to
cover and voted for the regular Demo-
cratic candidate.
