that the last Legislature gave the
police court additional jurisdiction

concerned.
"Of course there is some whiskey
sold illicitly; we expected that, and
expect it to continue until the milleni-
UNI, but so also are there violations of
the law against stealing. But every
one must admit that our city has been
wonderfully cleansed and purified. And
now, on the main street of our city,
ladies can pass and re-pass without
having to force their way through a
crowd of negro droneS swarming
around the entrance of a saloon like
flies around d molasses barrel, as they
formerly had to do before some of
the saloons of this city.
Crime and saloons go hand in
hand. The selling of liquor is only
one OF the evils of the saloon and
some people think it is the least of it's
evils. IT. is a well known fact that
saloons are the resorts, the gathering
places, the rendezvous of men who
violate the law. The fancy saloons,
where the clerk Is noted for his big
diamond shirt stud and the flashing
diamond on his finger, is the resort of
the high rollers who are given to what
they call high-grad gambling. The
ordinary saloon is where ordinary
criminals meet. The dives are where
the worst criminals plan their deeds
of Iawlessness. And they make the
saloon their places of meeting often
without the knowledge of the saloon
keeper that they use his place for
plotting evil and wrong and
without the knowledge of law

Washington Post.
The announcement from
Washington that President RooSc-
welt wlIl accept no more free
rides from any railroad company
or the Pullman company will be
read with approval by all who
believe that our Chief Executive
should not accept favors at the
hands of these corporations. When
he travels, the expense should be
borne by The government or pald
for by himself. boston Herald.
Presidential travelling is costly, far
too costly to be paid for by the m
cumbent of the Presidential office. Ii
a President visits any section of the
country, the people of other sections
feel that he ought TO come their way.
To accept a tithe of the invitations to
pay visits that are pressed ON the
Chief Magistrate and to travel IN
manner BETTING his position at his
own expense would cost much more
than the salary attached to the office.
But il is occasionally desirable that
Presidents should go among the peo-
pie or all sections. The practice Is
promotive of good feeling and condu-
Give to good government. Therefore,
there should be an annual allowance
out of the treasury to defray the ex-
penses incident to Presidential tours.
The Philadelphia Bulletin, referring
to the announcement that the Presi-
dent is paying out Of his own pocket
the bills for his recent trip TO the
West and that he proposes hereafter
to pay his full fare whenever he
travels, says it will not be possible to
reproach him. as the president of a
Western railroad did the other day
when he observed that President of
the United States who accepted the
favors of the railroads should not be
attacking them for extending favors to
other people.
The simple truth is that no official
of the government, either legislative,
executive or judicial, ought to ask for
or accept favors from transportation
companies. This truth is so obvious
and SO important that none of the
hosts Of officials who do accept such
favors attempts a defense of the prac-
tice.

JUDGE TOURGEE DEAD.

Ex-Judge Albion w. Tourgee who
died on Sunday in Bordeaux, France,
where he was United States Consul,
was a remarkable man. He came to
North Carolina with the Federal
army, remained here to practise law
and politics, was elected to the Re-
construction Constitutional Conven-
ton, drafted most of the new Consti-
tuition and the law that changed the
judicial procedure in the State, and
all the carpet-bag statesmen who
came South after the war. He was
put on the Superior Court bench and
presided until the State became Dem
ocratic. He then returned to the
North and devoted his time to writing.
His book, "The Fools Errand," made
q great hit at the North and was
printed by the hundred thousand by
the Republicans national campaign
committee in the Garfield campaign
to the Republican party. He wrote a
dozen other novels, most of them with
scenes laid in the South, having a
political trend. He wrote with ease
and grace and several of his books
commanded a large sale. His book
of short stories, with Guage and
swallow was one of the most charm
ing books of short stories that has
appeared and was particularly attrac-
tive to lawyers. In one of his short
stories in that book, in which the
scenes are laid in North Carolina,
Judge Tourgee pays tribute to the
ability, the character, the resource
of the North Carolina bar of the small
villages that did full justice to their
worth.
Judge Tourgee lived in stormy days
in North Carolina and was a conspic-
uous actor upon stage that was full
of dynamite. He was the idol of the
negro voters and he was most infiu-
entail. There is a tradition that he
and Governor Holden had a disagree
ment which resulted in an estrange-
ment and it is believed that when
Governor Holden failed of reappoint-
ment as postmaster it was the infiu-
ence of Judge Tourgee that secured
the appointment of John Nichols.
However that may be. Governor Hol-
den died believing that Judge Tourgee
had "got even for the old disagree
ment with the Governor.
The younger generation knew moth
ing of Judge Tourgee except by tradi-
ton, but that makes him out an able
man who took pleasure in putting
the bottom rail on top" and in trying

No Need to Peach or Go to Jail i
a Man is Law-Abiding.
Greensboro Telegram.

Il MAN Is 11slW-ADluInS.
Greensboro Telegram.
There is some disposition to criti-
CHE the law which provides that when
a man is found under the influence of
liquor he may be called into court and
made to testify where he got his Ii
quor or go to Jail for contempt of
court. The argument against this is
that a man of honor will not peach"
or blow on" man who violates the
law to provide him with liquor. Well,
now, there is another side of this
question. Law is law. Every man
should respect the law. A man may
say the law is wrong or absurd, but
that is only his belief-law is law, and
man wants to go mighty slow when,
from any consideration, he proposes to
show contempt for the law. The
moonshiners think that the United
States liquor laws are unjust, but, be-
cause they think this, does any per-
son, not moOnshiner, think that
those laws should be repealed? Our
advice to the man who is afraid of
having, to impair his honor or go to
Jail is to put himself in the path of
neither calamity by having a due re-
gard for law and purchasing nothing
which causes the person who makes
the sale to violate the law.

HONOR AMONG THIEVES.

Tn a recent issue the Charlotte CD
server takes ND the cudgels in defense
of what it calls the man OF known
honor and good character who stands
unon his manhood and integrity ana
refuses to peach and actually goes
tn jail rather than blow on a person
from whom he bought liquor illegal
w." We have had many instances OF
trying to engraft 'honor and good
character upon men who would not
know it if they met it in the road, but
the idealization of the man who JOINS
hands with the operator of the blind
tiger to violate law is a little the
most remarkable on record.
The man who helps q man to violate
the law is pretty sorry sort of a
shoat to whom the words Integrity, .
manhood" honor" good charac-
ter" have no relation whatever. Ii
makes no difference whether the law
he helps to violate is one against sell
ing liquor, gambling. stealing, looting
a bank or any other law on the
statute books. If a man does not ike
a prohibition law he has right to
agitate for it's repeal. But he has no
right to counsel violating it, to receive
the stolen goods or Illegal liquor, or
to try to put on a pedestal the CO.
violator who stands by the criminal.
To be sure, the man who is a party
to the crime is the sOrriest sort or cuss
if he peaches on his pardner in
crime, but refusal to peach or to
"blow' does not convert him into
man of known honor and good char
acter" nor clothe him with manhood
and integrity 1t is merely another
illustration of the fact that "there is
honor among thieves" and there is
more to be admired in a law-breaker
who refuses to "peach on his asso-
ciate who furnishes him his Liquor
illegally than the fellow who takes
advantage of his violation of the law
and then gives evidence to convict
him. In a case like that both of them
ought to be punished as provided by
law and if the law is too stringent it
can be repealed. But men of known
honor and good character" are never
found conniving at the violation of
law and never need to assert their
manhood and integrity by refusing
to peach
OF course the rule does not apply to
policemen or detectives. 1t is their
business to discover and apprehend
men who violate the laws. and they
neither "peach" nor elbow when they
give evidence that will convict viola
tors of the law. There are times
when plain-clothes policemen or detec-
tives are necessary to obtain evidence
against violators of the law and tbs
rules of courts and the universal prac-
tice has been to make such evidence
competent. This sort of evidence is
often the only sort that can be obtain
ed to shut up houses of i'll fame, break
up joints, destroy blind tigers and
such hell-holes run to debauch and
destroy the. youth of the community.
