pRoHIBTIoN PROMISES.


vigor that the campaign for statewide
prohibition will begin at once, and that
an organization of prohibition Repub-
leans will be effected soon, probably
during the conference of next month.
The declaration is no surprise, being the
logical outcome of the legislatures ac-
ton and the governors veto of the only
liquor regulation bill passed by both
houses
Just what form the campaign will
take can, of course. be only matter for
conjecture now. Its chief prepayment is
the man who did most during the last
campaign TO deliver the vote of Nor
mon church members to the Smoot ma
chine in the belief that the welfare of
his church and its officials was endan-
sered and could be assured only by the
success of the machine ticket His re-
volt since is a matter of record. and
his present attitude is the more signifi-
cant because of his campaign affilia-
tons
Primarily the prohibitionists are lin
iting their initial organization to Re-
publicans. If that plan is maintained,
it will involve as a condition of success
the entire reorganization of the Repub-
lican party and the elimination of the
Smoot contingent from control of the
party organization. If Mr.. Morris and
his friends contemplate such a step,
they may count on q fight that will not
end until the last vote in the last con-
vention.
The Smoot machine has at its COM
mand the patronage of the federal gov
eminent, an enormous power; it is
backed, financially and at the polls, by
the organization of the liquor dealers,
not only in the state. but in the country
at large. From this source alone it can
compel campaign contributions big
enough to finance any campaign il may
undertake in primaries, in local, county
and state conventions and in elections
To overcome that combination and Dust
men already in control of the party or
ganization; men who know no scruples
and hesitate at nothing to retain power,
is by far the largest contract ever I'M
dertaken in this state. If MI Morris
goes ahead with his plan the battle will
be worth watching.
AS for the object of the battle. prohi-
bition statewide on one side, and con-
troll Of the whole state by the saloon
element and the SmoOt machine on the
other, there will be wide division of SEN
timent. Prohibition would be a caIam-
ity; saloon control is already an estab-
lished and continuing crime. Between
the two the sane citizen prefers local
option that will enable each county to
choose for itself the method IT will fol-
low, so that Mr.. Morris will be embar-
raised by the excess Of his demands as
we'll as by the real wrongs he is fight
ing.
Just the same, if he can wrench from
the Smoot bunch the control of the Re-
publican party and place in command
decent, honorable men who can be
trusted to give the state honest politics
once more, he will do Utah a great
service. And if, by any fortune, he sue
ceeds in imposing on the state the pro-
hibition he desires. the LIQUOR dealers
will have no one to blame but them
selves and their corrupt allies who have
disguised their own party and defied a
whole state in this recent legislative
session.

DANGEROUS PRECEDENT
Defendants in Libel Suit Should
Be Tried in Home Court.
United States District Attorney Zeal.
inq Resigns Ms Office Rather
Than Take Part in Suits
Against The New York
World and The In

Washington, D. c., March 5.-Unfted
States District Attorney Healing, at
Indianapolis, has resigned rather than
participate in the efforts of the De-
partment of Justice to bring Delavan
Smith and Joseph Pulitzer to Wash
ington 10 stand trial for criminal libel
in connection with publications con-
cerning the Panama canal and rail-
road.
Healing, in a letter to the Attorney
General, says:
For almost eight years 1 have had
the honor of representing the govern
ment of the United States as attor-
ney. During that time I have prose-
cuted all alike without fear or favor,
where 1 had an honest belief in their
guilt
II have been compelled on several
occasions to prosecute personal
friends, but in each case I only did
so after a thorough investigation had
convinced me of their guilt.
"In this case, as to the guilt or in
nocence of the defendants on the
question of libel, 1 do not attempt to
say. If guilty they should be prose
cuted, but properly indicted and pros
ecuted in the right place-viz: AT
their homes.
ernment in it's attempt to put a strain
ed construction on the law, to drag
the defendants from their homes to
the seat of government to be tried
and punished while there is goo6
and sufficient law in this Jurisdiction
in the State court.
II believe the principle involved Is
a dangerous one, striking at the very
Foundation of our form of govern
ment. I cannot, therefore, honestly
and conscientiously insist to the cour
that such is the law. I do not fee
tinue to hold it and decline to as
!. sist."
In connection with the Elkhar
bank case Mr.. Healing prosecuted AM
convicted all the officers of that insti
tuition, including Walter Brown, VIII

VI NaGkOuA& Alk0 Agents.
The monthly bulletin issued to its
customers by the National Life Insur-
ance Company, Of Montpelier, VT, is
before us for February, and in it we
find that our young friend and towns
man, Mr.. H. M. Humphrey, general
agent of the above company for this
State, stands second in the number
of policies written for February by
the company's agents throughout the
United States, and leads them all in
the amount of premiums realized.
This not only speaks well for Mr.
Humphrey as a hustling business get
ter, but it IS the very highest posi-
bic testimonial to the prosperity,
thrift and sagacity of the people of
North Carolina-the best State in the
Union.
The Argus, of course, is more than
grati1ed to chronicle this proud dis
tinction to our young townsman and

From Saturdays Daily.
The Wayne County Teachers Asso-
citation, composed of the teachers OF
the public schools of the county, held
their last monthly meeting for the
school term in this city at noon to-
day, and notwithstanding the inclem-
ent weather it was largely attended
by teachers from all sections-even
the most remote schools of the coun-
ty, which was, indeed, very crafty
ing to the energetic and public spirit
, ed county superintendent, Mr.. e. L.
Atkinson, who has impaired much of
his zeal and enthusiasm into his splen-
did corps of county teachers, and
these meet him always cordially and
respond to his expectations with most
gratifying spirit and results.
The meeting today was largely tax
en- up with a review of the work &C
complished during the term just clos
ing and with discussion of the pros
poets and needs of the coming year
the individual observations and expe-
rience Of the teachers in their respec-
munity inter est in education, and the
general up1ift of country life in our
county; and the concensus Of obser-
ton, experience and expectancy was
such as to easily Justify the claim
that Wayne county is leading the
State in educational renaissance.
At the conclusion Of the business
discussion and the general exchange
of views and optimistic expressions
as to the future, superintendent At
kinson closed the meeting in a brie1
but exceedingly choice and happy ad
dress to the teachers, expressing his
unfeigned appreciation of their con
scientious 1abors and gratifying re
suits and wishing them further ser
vice in the work that is so grand an6
glorious and, at the end-the reward
they so richly deserve.
The meeting then adjourned with
out day-the next meeting to be call
ed by the superintendent on the ap
proach of next falls school term.
