exercise of strenuous diligence the
thing can be stopped entirely. And
the people of Raleigh will not be
satisfied with any less diligence than
this high standard.
The attention of parents is called
to this investigation. They owe it to
their children to cooperate in putting
an end to the. sale of liquor to even
one minor by mistake. If they sus-
pect their sons of buying whiskey
they should notify the dispensary au-
thorities of the fact that they are
under age and help to keep them So
Der. If the dispensary managers fail,
the public will compel change in the
personnel of the management.
The people of Raleigh are not salts
fed with a decrease in the sale of Ii
quor to minors. They will not be sat-
isfied until it is discontinued altogeth-
err, and 1t can be done by diligence and
determination. One of the employees
in the dispensary, who formerly kept
saloon, stated:
Il have been in the saloon busi-
ness, and was careful, looking over
parties to see if they were of age.
| exercise the same discretion and ef-
forts not to sell to minors now, and
while l was in the saloon business L
was never charged with selling to
minors"
That will not do. He must exercise
greater care than when he kept sa-
loon, and when in doubt require the
applicant to prove that he is twenty
one Every doubt must be resolved
against the would-be buyer.

SELLING WHISKEY TO MINORS.

The investigation into the conduct
of the dispensary discloses the fact
that during the twenty months of its
operation liquor has been sold to eight
cen persons under the age of twenty
one years. 1t may be that there are
more and probably there are others.
but the drag-net put out by the sa-
loon-dealers and their agents succeed
ed in finding but eighteen. And that
is just eighteen too many. The man.
agement has not consciously sold to
minors-that is generally admitted
but the fact that eighteen minors
have been found who testify that they
bought liquor there is fact that ought
not to have existed. The dispensary
managers ought to exercise more than
reasonable diligence. They ought to
refuse to sell to anv young-looking
person unless he produces satisfactory
evidence that he has attained his
majority. The people voted the dis
pensary to lessen the evils of liquor.
The dispensary managers have de-
creased the sale of liquor to minors
fifty fold without doubt. but that is
not sufficient. They must stop it al
together even if they have to hire an
additional man to investigate the age
of young fellows on the border-line.
They are not to be charged with an
intention to sell to minors. but by the

Sorrell last night that they take a

More than that: no student who has

ago. Then the great States and Ter
ritories of the West were an open
prairie, with the opportunity for a
homestead and tree claim" Tens
of thousands of young men left their
old homes in the East and interior,
and are now the comfortable possess
ors of beautiful and fertile farms.
But these vast plains are now occu-
pied The earth is sold" The young
men who are now crowded off the
farms of Illinois and Ohio cannot take
a homestead in Kansas or Nebraska.
They are forced toward the city to in
crease the competition there, with the
result of aggravating the labor trouble.
Another obvious fact is that the big
establishments and gigantic corpora
tons have been croWdlng out the
small establishments. Surely it cannot
be maintained that young men find it
as easy to start up for themselves in
mercantile business now as they did
before the days of the big department
stores, or in manufacturing business
as it was before the formation of the
gigantic combinations. 1t is beyond
dispute that the tendency of the last
score of years has been to lessen the
number of proprietOrS, and it is equal
ly clear that this tendency greatens
the number of dependents.
Nothing is to be gained by Obscur-
ing these facts or by persuading the
young men that the gates are wide
open. A young man rises from Il
clerkship to the presidency of a rail-
road or bank; or poor boy becomes
rich enough to get into the United
States Senate, and we say the way is
open. So it is for the one man who
becomes president of a railway COM
pany which has swallowed up a half
dozen other companies and operates
Is, 900 miles of road; or for the man
at the head of a bank which has con-
solidated the banks of the neighbour
hood; or for the two men who turn
the earth upside down and severely let
heaven alone to get into the upper
house of Congress. But for the ma
jority of young men the gates are not
lightly swinging on the hinges, and
the more thoroughly they understand
this fact the better it will be for them.
1t will make them prepare better, edu-
cate themselves more thorough and
cultivate the habits of sobriety and
economy which make for success.
Whatever else the time may be de-
handing, it certainly is demanding the
very best preparation.

1T is INTOLERABLE.

1t is bad enough for North Carolina
to pay insurance premiums TO De
sent to New York and to get back less
than half that is sent off, but 1t is m
tolerable that j. Pierpont Morgan
partner should use il to help elect
Republican president. Such use OF
great trust is the worst phase OF 1ren-
zied finance, and shows how close the
Republican party is to the trust mag
mates.
There is but one sure remedy lot
all this misuse of North Carolina
money by the giant insurance compa-
MES at the metropolis Give the bulk
of your insurance to home companies
where your money will be honestly
used for your family and not to cement
the union between giant monopoles
and the government.

Terrible Condition."
Asheboro Courier.


If the statement of the revenue
agent in Greensboro is correct, as
quoted in the Greensboro Correspond
ent of The News and Observer, that
if all who have returned fraudulent
expense accounts, or accounts for eX-
penses above those actually incurred
are to be indicted, no man in the SER
vice will fail of persecution or prose
ton" If it is true that no man in
the service has failed to pay his ac-
counts and certified falsely in his re-
ports, then the whole crowd are guilty
of false pretense if not perjury or
forgery. Surely this can not be. If
SO then is it not true that somebody
about the size of the person who fills
the revenue agents chair has been a
little derelict in the performance of
his duty, if he has not made known
the fact to the proper officials, Instead
of waiting to hit back when certain
officials in his department are under
a cloud. Conditions are terrible, in
deed, if the Greensboro revenue agent
is correctly quoted, and it is a fearful
responsibility that confrontS the Dis
trict Attorney and his assistant.
