THE FULLER BILL.

Z Today at $3.50 o'clock in the rooms of
the Corporation Commission. the Fuller
bill will come up for hearing before the
Senate Committee on Railroads. In so
far as the principle involved is concerned
this is the most important bill that has
yet been considerably the General AS
sembIy. Through its attorneys and
agents, the Southern Railway made a
desperate fight in the. House Committee
and on the floor of the House. After
hearing every argument and specious
plea. the House defeated the bill by a
vote Of about 2 to /.
For several weeks after the election the
rumor grew that last summer, while the
folks were busy defeating the effort of
the railroads to down Judge Clark, the
railroad managers had captured the Sen
ate. Evidently the Morning Post, organ
of the Southern Railway, puts some faith
in that current rumor, for it is now writ
ing long editorials against the Fuller BILL
the railroad organ did not dare to make
a big fight against it because it knew the
House couldn't be influenced by its rail-
road pleas. But. now that it is in the
Senate. the Post becomes bold and prints
two columns of editorial against it. When
the bill comes before the Senate Com
mittee and the Senate, the railroad organ
will find that the current report is a
Islander upon the Senate. 1t is made up
of men who wear no collar, accept no die
tation from the Southern Railway or any
other corporation. 1t represents con-
stituency who believe that the people
have right to compel railroads to give
necessary accommodate to the travel
ing public. At Durham, two of the rail-
roads are ready to unite on modern up
to-date union depot. One railroad. the
Southern. has for ten years denied Dur
ham a decent depot and now declares 1t
shall have no depot until the litigation
over Peabody street is settled. That lit
igation has been in the courts for ten
years. 1t may ''go on forever" To deny
necessary accommodations in union de-
pot-(no other accommodations will suit
in this day)-is to doom the people OF
Durham TO indefinite denial of accommo-
dations to which they are justly entitled.
The Senate will not refuse to constitute
a tribunal where the people of Durham or
anv other town similarly Disseminated
against by any railroad in the State.
may appeal for redress. That
&c all that the Fuller bill proposes,

Golden Opportunity for Legislators

To the Editor: l have read with great
interest and much pleasure your several
editorials on the subject of advanced
temperance legislation" They impress
me as being eminently wise and appro-
pirate. and if our legislators will act
upon the suggestions made and take the
different bills now before the General
Assembly and incorporate the best fea-
lures of these bills into a law by so do
ing they will accomplish a work for
the people of North Carolina. whose good
results can not now be forecast, and for
which generations yet to come will rise
up and call them blessed.
All who have given thought to the mat
ter whose eyes have not been blinded
by the selfish interest in the traffic,
know that the liquor business has been
the bane and curse of thousands of our
people, and that the State can not make
the industrial, educational, social and re-
ligious progress she should make, until
the whiskey traffic is entirely removed,
or put under the most effective ponce
regulations. There is enough in the his
tory of the saloon dealers, with the home
life in North Carolina to arouse the hot
blood in every heart. 1t is amazing to
see how patiently the people have borne
with the ruin it has wrought, whereas it
has had right of way or unrestrained Ii
berty.
The main problem of the day in poll
les, whether the view point be party
ascendency, moral or financial interest.
is the anti-liquor question. No power of
legislation, and no power that can be
obtained by labor combinations, or by
schools and churches, can help the la
boring man while he spends his money
for drink
The men who devote their time and
money to social reforms without point
ing to the saloon and distillery as the
principal causes of poverty and degen-
Grafton, are striking with a straw, and
seeking figs where only brambles grow.
1t is estimated that fully one-half of the
drink bill comes out of the wages of
the working men. 1t is needless to re-
iterate what all our Legislators know,
that the greatest hinderance to our pro-
gress as a people is the whiskey evil
and the party now in power can erect for
itself a monument that will stand through
the ages by giving the people partial if
not full deliverance from this veritable
Moloch, who consumes young and old
who worship at his shrine.

Enthusiastic for Temperance

To the Editor: l have long enjoyed the
reading of your paper, but your last
Sunday edition, January Gath, has caused
me to feel very special interest in your
paper because of the true and earnest
position you have taken in behalf of the
temperance cause, which is being so
much agitated around the legislative
halls as we'll as over the entire State.
most heartily endorse your stand and
feel proud to know that your are stand
ing in such power to defend those who
have suffered because of strong drink,
and to uphold principles that are so noble
and true and will when incorporated into
the Democratic party give it a founda-
ton that cant be shaken by those who
would hold us accursed by the liquor
traffic.
We are proud that We have such a
noble Legislation at work and when we
have the blessing handed out as a law.
We will then have the grand and great
party that is standing for true protec-
ton for the most helpless women and
children.
Our people are enthusiastic for the
passage of the London bill.
Earnest prayers are being offered in
our churches for those who are fighting
this great battle.

IAN ABLE PAPER"

The editor of this paper has been great
ly gratified at the expressions of ap-
prevail from many sources of the leading
editorial in last Sundays News and OBJ
server. A few Of the many have appear
ed in these columns. not because of a
desire to print words of praise about
the paper, but to show what many of
the best men in the State think about
the need of effective and progressive
temperance legislation. We take the
liberty of printing the following. letter
from an eminent citizen of Virginia,
showing that the healthful sentiment
against intemperance is confined to no
State lines. He writes in a personal
note:
Your editorial on temperance legisla-
ton is one of the most remarkable edi-
torials l have ever read. 1t should take
rank among the able State papers Of
North Carolina. In my judgment it is
unanswerable. Next for a child labor
law., And continued power to your strong
right arm"
He is right. A proper child labor law
is the next logical step.
