NORTH CAROLINA

NORTH CAROLINA
Another great outpost fight was won on
Tuesday of last week, when the good state
of North Carolina, by the votes of decided
majority of its citizens, outlawed the liquor
traffic throughout the whole of its domain.
North Carolina thus becomes the fifth state
that has adopted Prohibition in the ten
months past, and the second state to do so
by direct vote of the people. The victory is
very real and as blow to the liquor traffic
it is severe. Specially is it valuable in re-
futing the claim loudly made by the liquor
interests that the Prohibition wave is be-
ginning to recede. 1t makes the map of the
one-time Confederacy begin to look like Pro
hibition country, and if the people of the
South would resist the invasion of the liquor
interests with anything like the courage and
persistency with which they resisted the in
1asion of the federal army in the sixties,
the brewer and the distiller might well doubt
that their business would ever again find
footing there.

such, indeed, it is. Every new victory
gained for Prohibition in state or in locali-
ties, emphasizes the fact that the ultimate
settlement of the drink problem is not thus
to be found. Maine adopted state Prohibition
more than half century ago, and with her
went great company of the states. Every
one of them, excepting Maine, has lost its
prohibitory law, not because the law failed,
but because to considerable extent, it sue
ceeded in doing that for which it was en-
acted and thereby incurred the hatred of
the liquor interests at whose behest the poll
ticians killed the law. And Maine, in spite
of the will of her people, for quarter of
century past has been robbed of a large part
of even the local benefits that should come
from a prohibitory law by the confederacy
between the liquor interests and the politi-
clans.
The same story is repeated in Kansas and
in North Dakota. Kansas has had Prohibi-
ton upon her statute books for more than
a quarter of a century, but the saloon rebel

continues to defy her laws in some of her
cities yet.
Georgia begins to have the same expert
ence During the few months that Prohibi-
ton has been in force in that state its bene-
fits have been amply demonstrated. But the
liquor interests, in connivance with politi-
clans of the baser sort, buying the mere
tricious press, both north and south, are at
work declaring the law failure predicting
its repeal, and paving the way for it. Ala
bama's law has not yet gone into effect, but
the same process has already begun The
same is true in Mississippi, where, in spite
of the clear will Of the people, the liquor
interests still retain a foothold in politics
and still control a considerable portion of
the press.
North Carolina will meet the same expert
ence.
State Prohibition is of great value. Every
honest citizen should use his best efforts
dozen other states, beginning probably with
Tennessee and including, not very far down
the list, Illinois, Prohibition laws will prob
ably be enacted within the near future. But
every day makes it clearer that this does not
settle the liquor problem and that nothing
short of that for which the Prohibition party
has contended for almost forty years the
control of the national government by
political party committed to the Prohibition
principle, as clearly and distinctly as the
Republican party, for example, is committed
to the protective tariff policy, will protect
the American people from the curse that has
for so long time rested upon them.
