congressional nomination should.
be discouraged. Let us remem-
Der the experience of 1902, when
the party was torninto shreds''
by the strenuous methods of two
of the aspirants for the nomina-
ton at that time. A district
which should, under ordinary con-
ditions, have been carried by a
majority of 2 500, gave the dem
ocratic nominee a lead over his
republican opponent of only 182.
A free-for-all fight simply will
not do, gentlemen, and the SOON
er all parties to the controversy
realize the temper of the people
the better it will be. Concern
ing the gentlemen whose names
have been mentioned for the con-
gressional nomination, we shall
only say that all are good men,
and it is hoped by the friends of
each that the claims Of neither
will be pressed before next year,
and then only in a proper and alb.
solutely legitimate way.
Every democrat in the tenth
district should put aside self and
selfish things and make every
possible effort to elect a repre-
sentative next year who will rep
resent the people in fact as well
as in name.

LAW OR LAWLESSNESS I?

The republican party has long
boosted of being the party of
God and morality" it has had
the support of a large majority
of the ministers and religious pa
pers, and it has constantly charged
the democratic party with being
an ally of the saloon and in league
with lawlessness. The time has
come to put it to the test.
The republican party is in alb
solute control of the Federal gov
eminent. 1t has the president,
the senate and house. 1t can
pass any laws that it wants to
pass, and repeal any laws that it
wants to repeal. The Federal
government is today issuing IL
censes for the sale of liquor in
territory where the local author
tiles have prohibited the sale. In
several states the sale of liquor
is prohibited by statute, in num-
Der of states its sale is prohibited
in a majority Of counties, and in
all of the states it is prohibited
in many villages, towns, cities
and precincts. But in spite of
the attempt of local authorities in
these districts to prohibit the sale
of liquor as a beverage, the Fed
eral government continues to is
sue licenses in contemptuous dis
regard of local sentiment and 10
cal law. The government re-
ceives $25. 90 for each license, and
in receiving the money it must
either intend to collect that sum
without giving anything valuable
in return Tin case the one receiv-
ing the license does not sell
liauor) or to encourage the one
one receiving the license to yio-
late the local law, for he cannot
use his license without violating
the law. Can the Federal gov
eminent afford to continue a part
The French Broad hustler. [volume] (Hendersonville, N.C.) 1896-1912, 1909-05-13

ner with the law-breakers? Can
any party afford to longer legalize
this partnership?
A democrat, believing in local
self-government and in the right
of each community to attend to
it's own affairs, can consistently
oppose the action of the Federal
government in thus overriding
the laws of states, counties and
communities.
It matters not whether a per-
son favors prohibition or opposes
it, he ought to be in favor of the
enforcement of law whether that
law suits him or not. Popular
government rests upon respect
for law, and nothing is more cal
culated to cultivate disrespect
for law than this action of the
Federal government in not only
ignoring the wishes Of the people
in various localities, but in actu-
ally reaping a profit from the is
sue of licenses which stimulate
law-breaking.
Now, while the tariff is before
congress, it will be an opportune
time for the democrats to pro-
pose an amendment to the inter.
nal revenue part Of the Payne
bill prohibiting the issuing OF
Federal licenses for the sale of
liquor in states, counties or com
munities where the sale is locally
prohibited.
Let the fight be in the open,
land a majority of the voters will
be found on the side Of law and
order whether they believe in the
regulation of the liquor traffic
by license or in it's entire prohi-
bition. William ] Bryan, in

ELECTION RESULT.

We had hoped for the reelection
of Mayor Schenck and his demo-
cratic associates on the ticket
and did what we could to pull
them through" Just to think
only one of the boys came out
ahead is a thing few democrats
expected to occur. However, there
is some comfort in that and Mac
Rhodes is to be heartily con9ratu-

hold the balance of power on the

the interests Of Hendersonville

LET THE PEOPLE HAVE SAY

If Washington correspondents
are to be believed, the democrats
of the tenth district will soon be
plunged into a sea of political
chaos. Mr.. Thos. J. Pence, of
the News and Observer, and
Red Buck" Bryant, of the Char
lotte Observer, have had their
ears to the ground and make the
following prophetic suggestions:
The Tenth district is certain
to be fruitful of a strenuous con-
test. w. T. Crawford, of Hay
wood, the rec~entdemocratic NOM
inee, and jim Gudger, of Bun
-combe, who was succeeded by
Mr.. Crawford, as the member
from this district are put down
as certain entries. However, they
will not be permitted to run a
dual contest. Some of the eligi-
bles, who are already being
groomed for the race are, Sol
Gallert and John Mills, of Ruth
erford; Frank Carter, w. ]. Coke,
Chas. A. Webb and Frank Hewitt,
of Buncombe; Tom Lee, of Hay
wood; Walter E. Moore, of Jack
son."
This is an interesting piece of
news which, if true, BODIES no
good to the democratic party in
this district. It may mean an
eother unseemly scramble for a
nomination that ought to be made
by the peuple, themselves, with
out the interference of those seek
ing the honor. We repeat that
it is much too early for aspirants
to begin trimming their sails
for a contest so far in advance
~of the convention. The folks
have had a sufficiency Of politics
land are tired of agitation. Ev-
sery democrat, who thinks him
self capable of representing the
district, has a perfect right to
offer himself as a candidate, but
the idea of starting out eighteen
months "ahead of time'' will
prove to be distasteful to the
people and disastrous to the indi-
vidual encouraging the use of his
name in this connection at this
time. We are quite sure that the
mention of Mr.. Crawford name
amongst the probable candidates
is gratuitous. He is not the KIND
of democrat who would stir uI
strife in the ranks of his party,
or enforce his candidacy upon
the people. even were the time
proIitious for such action. Craw.
ford has great faith in the PEG.

tunity to administer to the re-
publicans the medicine they have
been asking for since the OPEN
ing of the campaign four weeks
ago. 1t is hardly necessary to
suggest that this matter should
receive immediate attention upon
the organization of the new board.
The Hustler is not contending for
lower salaries in any department
of city government, but it be-
lieves in giving people what they
want, as is indicated by their &C
lions in the premises. Let the
republicans have whatever COM
pensation they promised the peo-,
fple, during the campaign, would
be acceptable, in the event of
their election.

defeated members of the old

but not until they had done more

predecessors ever did. Too pro-
lgressive! Well, we should not
mind being in their class. The
people will yet rise up and call
them blessed. But Henderson
vile will continue on the road to
progress. If the republican men,
bers of the new board would him
der, enough democrats are left
to carry on the good work so well
begun by Mike Schenck, Elem
Brooks. Joe Bryson, OFT Williams,
J. C. Morrow, Mac Rhodes and
Ed. Ross. And they have the
courage to do the right as they
see the right.
The election of republican for
mayor, and two aldermen of a
similar persuasion, was made pos
sible by the support of twelve
men calling themselves demo-
Gratis, because they were displeas-
ed with the action of the retiring
administration in ordering the
sidewalk improvement and the
installation of water meters. The
republicans could not have won
without the aid of these men,
who will live to regret the mis-
take they have made in allowing
) personal spleen to get control of
their better judgemnt. One of
them has already made public
apology for the part he played in
the drama and others would
do likewise if conscientious
~promptings were permitted to
dominate, in making a declara-
ton.

of criticism concerning the re-
publicans who were successful,

~siastic support of this newspaper

in the interest of Hendersonville.

To Stop HiccouQhs.

DR.. Louis Kolipinski reports the ar
rest of persistent hiccoughs by de-
pressing the tongue. A patient was
attacked by hicccuyhs which had per-
sisted for four days before being seen
by the doctor. He complained Of the
fullness of his throat, a condition
which he thought the result of the hic-
coughs.
He was directed to sit up, and with
a large spoon handle the tongue was
pressed down and back with steady
force to allow inspection of the
fauces. Firm pressure on the tongue
with the hope of further noting the
action CT the palatial muscles was
continued when to the doctors sur

would keep on killing the poor inno-
cent minnows apparently for the mere
pleasure of killing. Very young bass
will attack minute water life which
flourishes on water plants and get
away with every one in sight, adopt
ing the same methods as their elders.
To illustrate the extent of the can
nabalism of the black bass here is an
experience of a superintendent OF one
of the fish hatcheries in Pennsylvania
says Field and Stream:
The superintendent made an actu-
al count of 10000 young bass about
an inch long and placed them in
fry pond by themselves. He gave
them food six times day, and, ac-
cording to his statement each fish ate
on an average three times it's own
weight of the prepared food every
twenty-four hours. They were placed
in a pond on July 1 and on Oct. l.,
when they were taken out there were
only 1900, and the record showed
that less than 200 died from sickness.
It is reasonable to suppose, therefore
that in addition to the food given
them by the superintendent there
were about 5000 bass devoured by
their stronger and more fortunate
