A LONG STEP FOR TEMPERANCE

The opponents of progressive effective
temperance legislation met their Water
loo in the Senate last night. When the
| Senate adjourned at two o'clock yester-
day, the outlook was that the friends of
the London or Watts bill, flor the latter
bill was before the Senate by the vote
of the advocates of temperance legisla-
tom would hardly be able to prevent
the incorporation of amendments permit
ting the exception of certain counties.
The London and Watts bill advocates
were fighting for State system, and they
felt like tabling the whole bill unless it
had Statewide application. After the
adjournment of the Senate, the most
influential Senators in favor of tam
perance legislation decided that the
wisest course to pursue in order to guar
antee legislation was to pass the Watts
bill as ii came from the House. 1t was ap-
parent that an attempt to pass stronger
legislation might endanger any positive
legislation. They went into the Senate
last night agreed upon the programme of
voting down all amendments and pass
ing the Watts bill, just as it came from
the House. They did so. 1t was like a
Macedonian charge, executed with swift
done the clincher" was applied, and il
is now the law of North Carolina
The law that passed is not the Watts
bill as originally introduced. In the
House Mr.. Watts accepted a number of
amendments, some of them identical with
the provisions in the London and the
Smith bills. Under this law no whiskey
can be manufactured or sold in North
Carolina except in incorporated towns.
tax on stills and saloons in the towns and
that will tend to keep down the num-
Der of both in the small towns There
are two other ways to diminish the
number: l. The county commissioners
can be appealed to with confidence not
to issue license in any town not having
ample police protection day and night;
2. Under the new law, any town upon
ninety days notice can vote prohibition
or dispensary, thus getting rid of the
saloon and still.
There are temperance advocates who
will be disappointed that the legislation
is not a greater step, but when they re-
fleet that this is very long step in the
right direction, and that if the towns
vote out saloons and stills as many will
do, the saloon and still evil will be
greatly minimized in North Carolina,
they will feel to thank God and take
courage" This legislation will not do
what it should do unless the temperance
people stand behind it and see that it is
enforced and made effective. This is true
of any temperance legislation.
