cept such as may relate to the strict
enforcement of the Watts act and the
conduct of the dispensary. for the
reason that we are engaged In expert
ments in this State as to what is best
for the control and regulation of the
liquor business, dispensary or prohi-
bition, and one or the other will be
determined i'm my judgment during
the next two years and North Carolina
will be practically under the control
of that one of these two which shall
be found to be for the best interests
of the whole people.
az do not believe that our people
will ever return to the open saloon
system"
Therefore the temperance element
in Raleigh will make no agitation for
prohibition this year, reserving the
right to do so If they believe it best
at some future time. They are to man
against the saloon and its attendant
evils and deplore the unnecessary and
unwise agitation precipitated by the
eX-liquor dealers in Raleigh who have
employed men to try to inject this
troublesome question at this time.
They will fight IT to the death. Later
on, when the experiments now max
ing in the State have had a fair trial,
they stand ready to fight for whatever
will best promote temperance.
To business men who are not pro-
hibitionists: Do not sign the petition.
If successful, it would impose heavier
taxes upon you and stop road inn
provement, and it would put tempta-
ton i'm the way of the young.
To prohibitionists: This is a move
ment inaugurated by the saloon men;
your sworn enemies. 1t is safe to OPP
pose whatever they advocate. The
way to prohibition in Johnston and
Cumberland counties was through the
dispensary. No temperance progress
ever came through the saloon or the
influences back of saloons.
Can tax payers afford to vote for
saloons" which means putting the
money that now goes into the city and
county treasures into the pockets
of saloon keepers, and making twenty
four wide-open saloons where many
youths will be ruined?

special telegram to the Raleigh
Post of Thursday says:
George w. Vanderbilt Will en-
terrain the party with a luncheon
on Thursday afternoon which will
be served In the dairy. Mr.. Van
derbilt will also throw open the
private roads, which are now
closed to the public, and has
granted free admittance to the
estate"
The form Of this statement would
indicate that Mr.. Vanderbilts insult
ing invitation was accepted. Unless
ii was accompanied by complete rea-
sons for using any other than Mr.,
Vanderbih's house. the invitation,
should of course have been declined.
The members of the Press Association,
as such, are far superior to Mr.. Van
derblt in position. Even a century
ago. in England in the House of Com
mons, the mere employees Of the press,
the reporters, were pointed to by a
great orator as constituting fourth
estate'-that is, another body OF
peers, or equals of the then existing
three estates" viz: the King, the
Lords (Peers). and the Commons.
This is a Republic, while England
was then a staunch Monarchy; ana
the more than hundred years that
have elapsed since that famous de-
claration was made have immenSur-
ably increased the power of the Press
which is now not merely another
estate" but, in America, is superior
to the assmilated representatives.,
whatever they may be, OF all the other
three combined. 1t is the All-Power-
full Press in comparison with which
Mr.. Vanderbilt is but human speck.
fit should be said that when the
editors accepted Mr.. Vanderbilts in
vitation To lunch, they were told by
friends in Ashevile, that it was the
first luncheon he had ever rendered
to any gathering that had met in

thought has been suggested to our
mind by the slurs which have been
cast upon our capital city on account
of recent developments brought 10
public notice by the terrible tragedy
so much deplored by the friends or
those concerned. Think you, my
friends, that. these men were sinners
above all other men in Raleigh? No
indeed. We venture that numbers or
men IN that city are as guilty as the
actors i'm this scene, but in their cases
no developments have been made.
Just so with other towns, ana we
venture the suggestion that every town
i'm the State If subjected to an X-ray
examination, could furnish men whose
morals were questionable. And we
feel assured that In any of them could
be found young men, and elderly men
who are living In lechery and base
violation OF their marital vows. We
would gladly except Rockingham
from the list, but ii would be unjust
TO other towns. SO, when a fellow
feels like cussng out Raleigh, let him
look after his home town, and first
clean out his home town doors.

ESCAPED CONVICT.

Secundino Romero district court
clerk of Las Vegas and mayor of that
city, on Monday morning at his ranch
near that city, captured single-handed,
ROmaldo Varela, an escaped convict
and all around bad man. Romero
stepped out Of the front door of his
ranch house, only TO come face to
face with the heavily armed desper-
ado, whom he recognized at once, as
having been sent up from Las Vegas
for burglary. Mr.. Romero jumped
back into the house for his rifle, and
Narela, thinking that he was going TO
fee out of the back door Of the ranch
house, cooked and leyeled his Win
chester on that point. Instead of go
ing out at the back door Romero
stepped out Of the front door again,
and before Varela could get in ac-
ton Romero had knocked him down
and disarmed him. He was taken to
Las Vegas and turned over to the
sheriff and was taken back 70 the ter
ritorial penitentiary yesterday. The
capture Of Varela is considered very
important, as he has been leading a
band of cattle thieves in central New
Mexico ever since he escaped from
the ~penitentiary.
