Comments on Living Topics

The most dangerous bill that, has
been introduced this session is that of
Mr.. Webb, of Buncombe TO provide for
an issue of q half million dollars of
bonds to enlarge the Insane Asylum
and strengthen the hands OF the State
colleges. 4 larger appropriation
should be made to the asylums, but
that can be done Within bounds. To
fastcn q debt OH future generations
merely to enable the State colleges 10
out shine the others is so outrageous
| a proposition that we cannot believe
our Lawmakers will consider II for n
moment.
The Moral Forces
This term is usually applied to the
advocates of temperance but in the
broader sense, it gives us JOY TO know
| that the moral power OF the State Is
dominant and growing ali the time.
| The day when q man may rise in the
| LEGISLATURE or on the hustings and
SHeer at men or measures looking TO
the moral welfare OF the Common
Ewealth, is past. Against the will of
many politician he is Compelled 10
espouSe measures he once despiSed.
The moral sentiment has grown SO
powerful that it has become foolhardy
| Tor man to make warfare against Il.
Who are the leading men IN our
public life today? Many OF them are
members of churches, and all Of them
are the champions and defenders OF
measures that We're once laughed TO
sc6rn as Sunday school politics The
GoVerpor OF the state teaches a Sun
day school class every Sunday anu
throws every ounce of his power
on the moral side OF all questions;
men who reverence the Bible and
stand for righteousness.
The leaders mind you. There are
gentlemen who pretend to be so de-
voted 10 the party that they are
willing to sacrifice the lives OF men
and the happiness OF women and
children 10 maintain It's honor" but
these gentlemen will not be in the next
Legislature. THE party" will attend
TO them all right. We had few OF
these in the General Assembly two
years ago. Where are they today?
Echo answers where?
We are glad that the moral power
of North Carolina is so manifest, and
so effective We thank God that n
man is stronger and more popular be-
fore the people in proportion as he
gives his influence and his personal
power 10 everything that is pure and
good, and he weakens as he WaHders
from the path of right and truth.
This means much TO us and far more
TO our children.
The Legislature may not do all that
we want IL TO do. II may make blum
ders and mistakes as il doubtless
will, but, we have seen enough al
ready to recognize the fine influence
o6 this great moral sentiment that
has wrought a revolution in our good
State within the last ten years; and
we hope the light will spread until
no man Will dare lift his hand against
the moral progress of good old North
Carolina.
