Temperance Cause Advancing.

To the Editor: God. and all good peo-
pie are on the side of temperance, and
positively against the liquor traffic, there
fore the right must prevail. The grand
meeting on the seventh OF July IN Raj
eigh was an unmistakable evidence OF
temperance progress. | do not suppose
there was ever such a representative tenn
perance meeting held in any State. Nearly
every part of the State was represented
by our best people, Christians, statesmen
and patriots. The enthusiasm of the
meeting was intense. 1t was a mighty
host, organizing for battle and victory.
The liquor traffic is doomed. 1t is an I'M
mitigated curse, and must go.
The city of Durham, one of the largest
in the State, is moving in the right di-
recIlon. Many of her bar-rooms have
been closed. and those licensed nave been
so restricted that their evil work is great
" lessened. l learn that all back and
side-doors are by town authority, required
to be closed, and all screens to be re
moved from front doors; and they are re
quired to close at eight O'Clock at night,
and not to open until six O'Clock in the
morning. And farther, the good people
of the city propose in the near future to
make a determined effort to vote out
every grog-shOp. 1t is cheering to know
that many other towns and cities of the
State are going to make an organized
fight against their saloons. If the tenn
perance sentiment can be well organized
utilized, it is strong enough to drive out
saloons from nearly every town, city and
county of our State.
We have closed up the saloons in OK
ford. There is not one in Granville coun-
ty. We have a dispensary. It is a great
Improvement over open saloons. 1t has
greatly lessened drunkenness and rowdy-
ism. The dispensary is not all we want.
But we believe 1t the best we could get
and maintain at the present. We intend
the dispensary as a stepping stone to pro-
hlbltlon. The dispensary is such a great
Improvement over the open bar-rooms, and
It yields such a handsome profit for NUM-
clpal and school purposes, that we are
afraid some of our temperance people will
be satisfied with this degree of temper
ance reform. But the leaders of this great
reform intend to push the fight until we
drive the enemy from the last ditch, and
plant the banner of prohibition in every
town and city and hamlet of our beloved
Old North State.
l believe it will be a difficult matter for
an a~nti-temperance man to be elected ia
the next session of the North Carolina
Legislature. Temperance reform is going
to be the battle cry, in hearts. in homes,
IN communities, in schools, in churches,
III the next Legislature and throughout
the entire State.
| believe the day is dawning when law.
making powers will repeal all laws that
now leSaHZe the LIQUOR traffic and M
other such laws will be enacted. It is a
heaven daring sin to legalize a crime that
IS the greatest curse and blight on ou1
American civilization.

cisely what happened. Fer proof OF that, note
,be final instructions given by the British For

his cousin Stratford Canning, who was con-
ductinc the negotiations with Russia. Here
they are:
1t remains only to remind you OF the origin
and principles OF this whole negotaton- IL rs
NOT on our part, essentially a negotiation about
limits II is demand of the repeal OF an offen-
sire and unjustifabe arrogauon or exclusive
jurisdiction over ocean Of unmeasured eN-
tent. We negotiate about territory to cover the
remonstrance upon principle
Nothing could be more explicit or more au-
thoritative England was contending not for
territory. nor for access to the sea at any par
ticular point. but for the freedom of the sea-
She gained the latter point and relinquisheo'
and was quite ready to relinquish, the other
contention which she had used merely as
pawn In the game. That was fully understood
in 1926 by George Canning and by Sratloro
Canning and was made a matter OF record py
them; and with all due respect for the present
generation. we cannot admit that there is any
one now who knows more about the purport OF
the treaty which they made than they themselves
knew. AS Representative Jones truly says,
There was no uncertainty as TO the meaning
of the treaty when If was executed There is
no good ground for uncertainty now 1t VIII be

ton of Canadas q final quietus by means, II
possible. of the commission which Mr.. Hay ana
Sir Michael Herbert have devised. But It is
we'll 10 understand that that can be done IN
only one way. That is. by agreement upon the
terms of the treaty of 1926, as they are plainly
set forth in that instrument, as they were un-
hesitatingly understood by both parties TO that
treaty when It was made, and as they were
frankly conceded and confirmed by Great Brit
ain thereafter for more than half century.

THE TAX FRAUD.

The scheme Just discovered by which per
sonsl taxes TO a greater or less amount nave
been fraudulentiy sworn off for a longer or
shorter time presents features Whlch DO not
seem to be quite consistent with some oflclal
comments and explanations. District Attorney
Jerome is quoted as saying that he does not
consider IL crInable for citizen to have bar
gained with an intermediary for relief from
taxation in this manner, provided he did not
know that a swindle was TO be perperated-
that IL was as legitimate to make such an ar
rangement as 10 employ a lawyer to look after
the matter. But man would have TO be very
unsuspcious to say the least. in order TO ac-
cept from a stranger in good faith, without
inquiry or hesitation. such an oHer relaung
10 his intimate personal affairs. Moreover
every tax notice informs the recipient that tnls
assessment can only be corrected on personal
"appiication 10 the commissioners so that any
one agreeing to let another appear for him
would know that he was not adopting the right
course if he gave the matter a moments
thought It seems to us that person taking
advantage Of such assistance must necessarily
be either extremely careless OF ready to salve
his conscience with the plea that the tax on
personal property is an abuse which it is right
TO avoid by the easiest means.
There is another thing to be considered. Dis
tret Attorney Jerome believes that the fraud
was practised on a large scale and that the
city has lost a great deal of money. Mr.. Wells,
the president of the department on the other
hand thinks there were not many cases of such
fraud. while neither suspects collusion on the
part OF employees Of the tax office. But while
Mr.. Wellss opinions on these two points are
consistent with each other, Mr.. Jerome's are
not If the trick was tried only few times,
perhaps at considerable intervals, it might
pretty easily escape detection. If, however, as
Mr.. Jerome supposes. it succeeded without col
Iusion often enough TO involve large loss of
taxes. the outside conspirators must either have
been so numerous to invite betrayal, con-
trary TO the rule Of conspiracies, or have ap-
peared so frequently as to incur great risk of
recognition.
We sincerely hope it will be found that Mr..
Wells is right in believing that the swindle
was not extensive, for it would be satisfactory
to know that the city had not sustained q Sc
rious loss and that employees of an important
department were not so easily gulled Mr..
Jerome conceives them to have been.
