eral Assembly that the people of
North Carolina are moral people.
The saloons now exist not with the
consent of the people of North Car
Dina, but solely because conditions
have prevented the moral forces of
the State from asserting themselves
in elections against the saloons.
Every intelligent public man in the
State knows that this is true. 1t is
but reasonable to ask now that the
patience of the people be rewarded,
and that the rue attitude of the ma
jority be recognized. Is it
able to presume that the saloons
should not be opened unless it is ex-
pressly voted by the majority to open
them9 Is it more reasonable to pre-
sumo hat the people of North Caro-
lima desire the saloons-recognized
as ruinous, as the sources of all man
e of crime-to go on with their
work unless they vote to the contra
ry? To be sure, he does violence to
the character of the people who holds
that they favor saloons and that sa-
looms must exist until they have been
voted out. One does not ask a good
man if he loves virtue. His charac-
ter is answer. One who believes in
the people of North Carolina will say
hat the people desire the saloons
closed, and he will not ask the peo-
pie to prove this, but will bid the sa--
loon men disprove it. This is just
what paragraph four calls for. 1t
is fair; it is representative; it is
reasonable; it is only a just recogni-
ton of the patience of the moral
forces of North Carolina; it presents
them with the opportunity that they
have long waited for. In their name
we ask for this recognition and this
opportunity to vindicate themselves
and those who respect them.

TEMPERANCE LEGISLATION FOR
NORTH CAROLINA.

%AC &1AN4-SdAOOA NCdSH Ct &S -
ing in Raleigh Last Week.
Editor of The Progressive Farmer:
The following are the features of
the temperance legislation proposed
by the Executive Committee of the
North Carolina Anti-Saloon League
In session with authorized represen-
tatives of the North Carolina Meth
odist Conference and the Baptist
State Convention:
/. Prohibition of sale or manufac-
ture of Intoxicating liquors outside
of incorporated towns. Prohibition
of sale of liquor in towns of less
than 500 population, whether incor-
porated or not. Prohibition of man
ufacture of liquors in towns of less
than 1000 population, whether in
corporated or not.
The distinction is made between
incorporated towns and ]unincorpo-
rated communities because incorpo-
rated towns are organized and pO-
Iced. It is made also to protect the
rural districts from the saloon. 1t
is made also to protect the towns
and cities from being surrounded by
saloons. The distinction is made in
respect to population mainly to pre-
vent the evasion of the law by the
incorporation of saloon or distillery
settlements.
2. Local Option elections in incor-
porated towns of more than 500 in
habitants at any time upon 80 days
notice and upon petition of one-third
of the qualified voters; provided
elections shall not take place oftener
than once in two years.
In such elections the question of
saloons or prohibition, or saloons or
dispensary, or dispensary or prohi-
bition, may be submitted as petition
ers may request; only one question
at an election, however.
8. Prohibition of the importation
of liquors by any means into prohib-
tied or ~dispensary territory.
4. After July 1, 1908, all appli-
cants for license to sell or manufac-
ture liquors shall present with their
application petitions in their behalf
signed by a majority of the qualified
voters, save in those towns and cities
in which between the date of the en-
actment of this bill and July 1, 1903,
an election shall have been held and
carried for saloons.
These propositions are clear, and
need no exposition. They look to
the suppression of the saloon and
distillery in the rural districts, and
to local option elections in the towns
and cities in the near future on a
fair and reasonable basis. There
should not be a saloon in any town
or city unless the majority of the
people expressly call for it.
The people of North Carolina are
entitled to this. They have long been
opposed to the saloon. They have
never had a fair chance in a struggle
with it. They have been hampered
by the ignorant vote. They have
stood in fear of division. But these
things are now passed. And now
that they are passed, the General As
sembly should freely grant the peo-
pies petition for a fair opportunity
TO grapple with the evil that in their
long affection fastened itself upon
them.

California DiVOrCes.

The Supreme Court of Cali fornia has recently rendered a decision that the divorce law passed by the last legislature of that state is constitutional. The fact that numerous cases have been passed upon in the lower courts and in which the law was held to be unconstitutional, ere ated a popular belief that the law was invalid and of no force, and many divorced parties have married again. By the decision of the supreme court such mar riages are void. The law pro- videS that a final decree of di- vorce shall not be granted until one year after the granting of d preliminary interlocutory decree.
 Yuma's prospects of again re- suming her position as the Gret- ma Green of the southwest are,
 at present, not very promising.

The Arizona school law con tains the following provisions;
 Section l03 makes it the duty of the clerk of each school to furnish the sheriff, constable, city marshal or other peace off cer with d list of children who are not in attendance at the schools of the precinct, and any district clerk failing to furnish such list is guilty of a misde- meaBor.
 Section I04 makes 1t & mIsde- meanOr if any deputy sheriff, con stable or city marshall shall neg }ect to enforce these sections of the law, and makes their con viction a subject of penalty more severe than all the others. the amount of fine upon conviction being $50

Look Out for Your Teeth.

Now that pomegranates are ripe, says an exchange, it is well to caution people regarding the danger to their teeth. The pomegranate is delicious fruit, and healthful: but the outer cOv- ering or Yind contains an acid that at- taCks the enamel on teeth and unless removed at once will cause discolOra- tion and speedy decay Children are liable to bite into the rind unless ire quently reminded of the danger of ~r oh act. It is safe plan for grown people to wash their teeth after eating pOme- granates, as too much care cannot be exercised if one would protect his grind CTS from an acid which the dentists say is deadly enemy to enamel.

The last annual report of United States Pension Commis- sioner Ware, which covers the year ending June 30, 1903, shows some interesting facts. Last year the number of persons on the pension rolls exceeded 1, ,O0O, GOO, the highest number reached being 1000, 732. That was Sep tember 30, 1902.
 On July 1 of this year the number was 996, 545, and the opinion is expressed by the com missioner that the million mark will not be again reached.
 The pension disbursements reached the highest point in 1893, when 966,012 pensioners were pald Sl56, 906,63
 Last year, with 21 ,OOO less names on the rolls, the amount disbursed was S137, 759, ,653, a re- ductiOn of Sl9, 146, 985. From July 1, 1863, to June 30, 1903, a period of weight years, the aggregate paid on account of

Our Congressional Friends.

Our COngreSsIOnal FrtendS-
 Within d span of but few months our Sunshine Kingdom has been visited by two parties of national lawmakers: officially by senators and mofficially by congressman. Individually con sidered all were men of affairs, of business and of politics. Pol itically considered the two par ties, on the vital question of Arizona statehood, in connection with which the respective visits were made, are diametrically Op- posed, each 10 the other.
 The grave and reverend senators, ere ever wheel turned under them, had judged the ques- tiou at issue and had decided against us. Their trip was a mockery, and their questions, but few in number, were care fully designed to effect replies emphasizing our faults and fail ings, not to bring to light our virtues. Farcical to the extreme it served its purpose, inasmuch as its members could say in de bate and conference: "I have seen with mine eyes and have heard with mine ears"
 The second party, the direct representatives of the throbbing heart of American manhood, have but just left the borders of our territory. That their stay within our boundaries rivalled in point of brevity that of thelr bretheren of the toga is to be regretted. since 1t gives no more stable foundation upon which to build an argument or base con- vincing pleas in deb lte than did the senatorial tour But, it's members are friends, tried and true in deeds and words. Their glasses were rose tinted and their minds were open to receive all the good that could be heard, while they forgot that we could be aught but Americans of Am ericanS.
 However brief their stay with in our borders each member of | the party has seen much of in terest and learned much of value | relative to our people, our re- sources and our possibilities, and with even greater confidence and | renewed assurance can they ac- cept the gage of battle in our behalf in the national forum, for they, also, have "seen with their eyes and have heard with their ears. "
 While our senatorial enemies were enabled to exercise their jaundiced eyes and minds at the expense of the public, whom they wantonly betrayed, to one man alone, as a private citizen, is due the credit for the visit of our friends. The public will readily note and appreciate the differ ence.
 To William R. Hearst, the cit izen. congressman for the elev- enth district of New York and leading exponent of the journal ism that does things, is due the thanks of all loyal Arizonans.
