We are told hat liquor causes most

time there is a serious crime report
ed n Wilmington or some other city
legalized liquor saloons some n or
more Of the papers of the state will
wind up it's account Of the crime with
the statement that there are so many
saloons in that town. Look at the
other side of the picture; Greensboro
is a dry town, still there are nine cap
ital cases pending for trial At the next
term of GuilfOrd court. We do not
claim that the fact of Greensboro be-
ing a dry town has any thing to do
| with the number of murders commit
ted in that county, but simply refer to
the deplorable state of affairs there to
show that all the numbering and other
davilment is not done in the towns
! where the people prefer legaliZed sa-
looms to blind tigers and secret drink
ing.
By way Of postscript we may ado
that the town of Durham, which is
another dry town with the superior
court docket filled every term with
blind tiger cases, has a sensation in the
way of a case of two young men, one of
them an ~eX-captain in the state guard,
indicted for burglary. They were
positively identified by a lady of that
city as the two men who broke into
her house through a window a few
nights ago-AnOther case we suppose
Of blind-tiger liquor. Why do not the
executive officers of the state see that
the laws of the state are inforced? 1t
is much more important that they
should do their sworn duty in enfOrc-
ing the laws We have than rushing
over the state making speeches in
advocacy of the passage Of more such
dead-letter laws. Where we have a
law let it be infOrced. 1t IS the duty
Of every executive officer from the gov
ernOr down to township constable to
see that the Watts law is enforced.

CONVICT LABOR IN COTTON
MILLS.

Alabama is trying the experiment of
running a cotton mill with convict Ia
Dor. So for it has been a complete
success. The mill has made good
profits. If we'll managed there is no
reason why such mills should not pay
we'll. The cost Of operation is a great
deal less than that Of a mill run by
free labor. But the question is as to
the expediency Of using such labor in
cotton mills. lis it putting convict
labor in competition with free labor?
There is complaint ali over the south
that the mills annot secure sufficient
labor. There IS room for all men and
women who will work in the cotton
factories. No employe is put aside in
order that the state may work its con-
victs. The products of the mill opera
ted by convict labor are not put on the
market at lower prices than those of
mills operated by free labor; SO the
question OF wage 10 the operatives in
the other mills is not brought in. All
who wish to work IN such mills can
find employment. We cannot see
where the use Of convict labor in a
state mill comes in competition with
free labor. If it does not We can see
no objection to the use of convict labor
in this way. Should it be shown that
there is such conflict of interests We
would unhesitatingly say that the use
of convicts in this way should be stop
ped. We favor giving every man who
is able to work and who wants to work
an opportunity to make an honest liv-
ing by his work and the state should put
no obstacle in his way, but at the same
time it is the duty of the officials OF
every state to make the state convicts
come as near as possible to supporting
themselves and also to make a profit
for the state if they do not in SO doing
take the bread out Of the mouth OF
some honest man.

"RCOSENELT THE ISSUE"

In his Bath speech Wednesday before
the election Secretary Taft declared
that the issue in the Maine campaign
was 'RoOsevelt''. The results Of The
b~alloting show that it was not such a
popular issue on the republican side as
the leaders OF hat party expected.
They all chimed in with the secretary
of war in his ante-election declaration
that Mr.. Roosevelt was the issue and
that was the cry from one end OF the
state to the other. But now. after the
votes have been counted and it is found
that the republican majority is the
smallest on record, both for the state
candidates and those for congress, the
leaders of that party have dropped the
Roosevelt issue and declare that liquor
did it. They say the unusually large
democratic vote was due to the fact
that the candidate for governor Of that
party advocated leaving the question
of prohibition TO the vote of the people.
When the republicans thought they
were going to get a big vote they said
it was Roosevelt hat would do il:
when they found they had a very small
vote for all their candidates they whip
around and say liquor did it,. OF
course it would never do to admit that
in an election in which the republican

Manning was overwhelming. If the
legislature Of that state observes the
wishes of the people as expressed at the
W. state primaries it will give every
county in the state the right to vote
on the question of ~dispensary or pro
hibitiOn. The vote for the local option
candidate showed that to be the stnti-
men Of a large majority of the electors
of the state. While Senator Tillman
during the last session of congress add
ed to his reputation us a statesman he
has lost ground in his own state on the
dispensary question. The results Of the
two primaries recently held show mat
the system is unpopular in that state
and the people nave declared in en-
phatic tones that they no longer ap-
prove of that system. In one branch of
the legislature there is a majority of
members who are declared advocates
of the state d~ispensary, but they know
that the people have declared against
the system and it is their duty to give
them such a law as they have declared
for ut the polls. While Senator TiIlman
has by his urs in congress added to
his national reputation he has lost
ground at home, and the nomination Of
Mr.. AnSel was a decided and positive
rebuke to the senator and a reputation
of his pet scheme for the control Of
the liquor traffic in his state.
We do not suppose the nomination
i'll the primaries of Mr.. Ansel will
lessen the influence of Mr.. Tillman il
his state so far as national affairs are
concerned. 1t should not. The senator
has by his course in the senate, estab-
1ished Il reputation for ability and
craftsmanship which should bring sat
isfaetiOn and pride to the people whom
he represents. Because he has the los
ing side of Il state issue is no reason
why he should not be supported by the
party in his position as the states rep
resentative in the senate. Mr.. Tillman
as United States senator and Mr.. Till
man trying to force the ~dispensary on
unwilling people of his state are two
very different persons, and We hope
the democrats of his state will view the
matter in this way.
