present policy Of the North Caro-.
lima Anti Saloon League, and in
response to this feeling We have
thought it advisable to issue the
following public statemen:
BY an Overwhelming majority

declared for. the suppression oi
the liquor traffic in this State.
The State Anti:Saloon League
stands simply for the enforce
ment Of this expressed will Of the
voters of the State, and we ap.
peal with confidence to the Gen
eral Assembly elected by those
voters to zee that in no particu-
lar shall the verdict OF last May
be abated.
We do not ask, for more than
the people have declared for, nor
do we expect less. The people
having 20 unmistakably declar-
ed their wishes, it becomes the
duty Of their lawmakers to pro-
vide in all cases the proper legal
machinery for enforcing their
neMly-expressed will, and forpun-
ishlng all violations of t h Z
new statute. Seeing that the en-.
forcement OF tho law is now in

cials, we call attention to the
fact. that in most counties no
compensation is now allowed
sheriffs for breaking up illicit dis
tilIeries, and we earnestly. ask for
a general law providing for the
payment of$25 for each c a p
ture made by a sheriff, a policy
which has worked successfully in
Cumberland and other counties,
and without which the machine.
ry is manifestly inadequate. Be-
yond this we ask for nothing.
We do not believe. that t h e
whiskey interests can bring any
strong pressure to bear upon our
Lawmakers for any weakeningof
the present law. but we do not
think amiss to warn our people
against agitation for seemingly
innocent, or unimportant amends
ments. To make one change will
open up the whole subject afresh,

PROHIBITION ONINTENNESSEE
Bristol Herald Courier.
1t was q foregone conclusion
that Governor Patterson would
veto the statewide prohibition
bill, but there was not such una
nimity Of opinion as to the fate
his veto would meet IN the Leg
islature. It was believed by many
people that. as usual in such ca
sea, the Governors a,tion. would
have some weight with the, sena-
tors and representatives, and
that there was q possibility that
in the senate, at least, his yeto
would be sustained.
But not so. With barely one de
sertion, the prohibition majori-
| ty in each house stood like a
stone wall when Governor Pat
terson's veto of the prohibibi-
tion bill was handed in, and tho
measure was promptly passed a.
gain by the same maioritvit had
first received IN the senate. and
by only one less majority in the
house. The senators and repre-
sentatives. who had voted for the
bill q few days before voted forit
again, refusing to be persuaded
by specious argument or intimi-
dated by insults and threats.
They remained steadiast and i'm
movable, true to their convic-
tions and loyal to their constitu-
ents, firmly declining to be par
ty to. the undemocratic scheme
to betroy the people OF Tennes-
zee and perpetuate the liquor
traffic in the State in defiance OF
public sentiment. 1t was q re-
buke. that. Governor Patterson
and the consci"nceless political
machine at Nashville richly mer-
tied.
Lookingback over the p q 8 t
year, there are many things that
might be said of the effort that
has been made to save the liquor
traffic in Tennessee. Fraud, cor
ruption, duplicity and downright
tieachery have been practiced;
money has been spent with q free
hand wherever it was believed it
could be used to advantage; in
cidentally,. one Of the foulest mur
ders in the countrY's historywas
committed; browbeating tactics
and machine methods were work
ed to the limit; and the prohibi-
tionists, including thousands up
on thousands oi the best men
and women OF the state have
been abused, viIlfied and SANDER
ed by the adlninistrat t,on-saloon
organs-all in the name Of DEM
ocracy.
But the battle is over, and the
victory is won, and we can af-
ford toforget the past-save and
except that part of it that is
stained with the martyrs blood.
That is the only cloud that
floats in the sky in this hour of
triumph. It was the ambition OF
Senator Carnack to see the Ii
quor traffic driven from Tenne-
ssee, and he was devoting his
time and talent to that cause
when he met a tragic and untim-
ley fate. What he had hoped
for and worked for has been ac-
complished, but be is gone.
Would we throw away the splen-
did victory that has just been ac-
hieved, if it would enable him to
return to life and walk and talk
with us again? Yes! We could
join battle with the whiskey Tor
ces ut another day, and vanquish
them. We could drive the liquor
traffic from Tennessee at another
time. But we cannot recall from
the tongueless silence OF t h Q
