To the Editor: 1t seems to me that
We have a great many people in North
Carolina who are about fifty years be-
hind the age. Vermont over fifty years
ago became a prohibition State and after
so long trial the people found
the law would not work, so within
the past few weeks at a general election
they have voted to try local option.
What does this mean? Does it not mean
that the people OF Vermont have learned
by experience?
Do prohibition laws prohibit in Kan
sas? If so why did we hear of Mrs.
Lease and her hatchets work in the
bar-rooms CD of Kansas?

If after an election in a town or city of
over five hundred inhabitants when a

for saloons is there q single line in the
London bill or any other law that COM
pels the county commissioners to grant
license?
Why does the London bill ignore the
town commissioners or aldermen and put
the calling of elections. appointment of
poll-holders, declaring result election Of
dispensary commissioners, &c, in the
hands of the county commissioners?
Do they mean by this that our city
fathers are venal and cannot be trusted?
1t is now lawful to grant license in
Granville county, but none have been
granted this year.
If the liquor question is submitted TO
the voters of any city or town. why not
allow the municipal authorities to call
the election and declare the result? If
majority vote for saloons. why not say
the commissioners shall grant license to
proper persons? This is Democracy.

An Open Letter to the Legislature

Gentlemen, consider four facts:

1t thrives by destroying everything it
touches. 1t destroys wheat, rye. barley,
and corn which the Creator intended to
support life, and converts them into a
poison producing death 1t destroys the
most delightful fruits and forces them
to make men miserable It destroys
homes, happiness, property mon, women.

touch. | give an instance: 4 leading

of the Ohio Liquor League. one of the
officers delivered an address, from which
the following is an extract: The sue
