THE BLIND TIGER.
The Animal Has Been Making Too Free
and Must Paw the Penalty,

There was considerable interes'
manifested last Friday in som,
blind tiger cases. The defendant
were Fayette Altman and Gland,
Mc%lnturfff, and there were sever
distinct charges against them 70.
violating the liquor law. Allmar
was the only one of the defendants
tried Friday. He was represented
in court by the firm of Clement &
Clement, and Walter Murphy
Esq. R. Lee Wright, representing
the Law and Order League, assisted
Solicitor Craige in the prosecution
The leading witness against the
defendants was a young mai
named 5. J. Lawrence, one of the
employees of THE WArcH1AN Office.
His testimony was brief, but was
plain, positive and direct. He
swore that at seven different times
since the first day of January last,
he had purchased whiskey from
Altman. He had seven bottles OF
whiskey in court and stated that
he purchased them of his own &C.
cord and solely through a disire to
see the law enforced and illicit
liquor selling stopped. The de-
PENDANT entered a complete denial
of the charges. After hearing the
evidence Judge Miller stated that
he would find the defendant guilty
in seven cases.
On Saturday there was a large
attendance at the court, many
citizens being much interested in
the outcome of the Altman case,
the defendant being found guilty
as stated above.
When court convened Judge
Miller relieved all suspense by
promptly announcing that he
would fine the defendant 500
and costs in each case, making
a total fine of $500 and costs, or
consequent upon failure to pay the
fine, a sentence of twelve months
on the roads.
Chas. Altman, who was also
tried and found guilty on a similar
charge, was fined 5000 and costs,
or. in default of payment, six
months on the roads. Attorneys
of these defendants at once flod
notice of an appeal, and the cases
will go to the Superior Court.
The case against Mr.. McInturff
Will be disposed of next Friday.

MORE RAILROAD TALK.
Salisbury Citizens to Visit Winston Salem
Interest Of New Railroad.

Salisbury will send a delegation
here next Monday or Tuesday tt
confer with local business mel
about the building of the South
bound Railroad.
1t has been published that the
movement inaugurated at the
meeting in Salisbury last week
was for a new road-in other
words it had nothing to do with
the Southbound Railroad Compa-
ny, of which Mr.. II. E. Fries. of
this city, is president.
The Salisbury people want the
road to come via that town and
they are anxious about ;t-so
much 30 that Rowan county is
willing to vote bonds to the
amount of perhaps 5000, 900 or
more in order to get it.
Mr. T. H. Vanderford, of Sails
bury, who is a leading spirit in
the movement to organize a COM
pany with one million dollars
capital and allow.bonds,to be is.
sued at the rate of SIS, 900 per
mile, any township through which
the road will pass to hold an cleo
ton upon petition of 20 per cent
of the voters, was here yesterday
arranging for the visit of the Ro-
wan delegation next week. The
proposed new road via Salisbury
would be lis miles long while the
original Soathbound is 80.
The belief appears to be quite
general in the Twin City that the
Winston-Salem- Wadesboro road
will be built. However, no one
appears to be in position to say
how soon construction work is to
begin.
Either road would mean much
to the Twin City and the Sentinel
feels hopeful-in fact justified in
predicting that the Southbound is
coming and that if Lexington and
Wadesboro don't get it Salisbury
and Monroe will.-Winston Sem

The Material Aspect of Prohibition.

David S. Rose, mayor of Milwaukee,
in the first of a series of three de-
bates between Hon. Samuel DiCkie,
president of Albion college at Mil
waukee on Friday evening, said:
The prohibition party seeks nation
wide prohibition. 1t is their purpose
to proceed by states, and then by fed
eral legislation, and finally by amend
ment to the constitution of the Uni
ted States, to inhibit the manufac.
ture, sale, transportation and use of
intoxicating beverages. Nor do they
propose to compensate for property
destroyed.
What would that mean TO our
country? What would it mean to la
bor?. What would it mean to agri-
culture? What would it mean to
railroad earnings? What would it
mean to rights of property? What
would it mean to state and city?
What would it mean to the allied
trades? What would it mean to our
liberty?
Before the contemplation we stand
aghast!
What would it mean to our coun-
try?
In 1907 the internal revenue col
lected by the federal government
from spirits was S156,336,OOO, and
from fermented liquors $59,5G7 900,
making a total of $215, 900 In
addition the government collected
Z L
ing a grand total of 1929, ,198,OOO If
the prohibitionists might have their
way that vast revenue would be cut
off absolutely, the government would
not receive a dollar from that source,
notwithstanding that the cost of ad-
ministering the government is con-
/ stantly inceasing, year by year, and
even now we stand in the presence
of a deficit in our national treasury.
In 1907 the government paid to the
gauger, the collector and to the bal
ance of the great number employed
( in the revenue service for collecting
these taxes the sum of s3,713,O0O. If
/ the collection of that tax should be
| discontinued, in pursuance of the de-
mand OF the prohibitionists, that ar
my of employees would be turned in
TO the street, for there would be no
further use for their services, unless,
| perhaps, and may we'll withdraw
the word perhaps, a larger army
would be needed to prevent moon
shining" and to enforce the sumptu-
airy laws.
The above figures are obtained
from the statistical abstract United
States census, 1907, page 665.
! Today men defy the excise laws
and take the hazard of arrest con-
viction and a prison term to run an
Illicit business and merely to avoid
paying the revenue tax. What will
be the result when hundreds of thou
sands of men, Fesenting the destruc-
tion Of their liberty and ehafng in

man slavery has been driven, even at
the point of the bayonet. 1t cost this
nation a wealth of treasure and an
ocean of blood TO break the fetters
from the limbs OF five millions OF
black men, and now these prohibi-
tionists would strike down thousands
of fortunes and sacrifice the most
sacred rights of the freeman TO weld
the chains upon the liberty of seven
ty millions of white men.
You shall not do it! You shall not
defle the sacred rights of property!
You shall not narrow the field Of in
dustrial endeavor! You shall not turn
backward the wheels of our national
progress! You shall not take from the
hand of honest labor the bread that
it needs must have for life! You shall
not wrest from us even the smallest
atom of that liberty which it is writ
ten in the organic law is ours! And
even if you shall succeed, though but
for day, when truth, crushed to
earth, shall rise again" it will drive
you out before your heresy.

These were signed. by Senators Mel

licans), Culberson, Bacon, Rayner and
Overman (Democrats). The addi-
tional views were submitted by Sen
ators Nelson and Bacon.
President May Have Been Duped.
In the opinion of Mr.. Nelson the
president was not authorized to per-
NIT the absorption, which is declared
to have been in violation of law Mr..
Nelson thinks, however, that the pres
:dent may nave been misled or duped
by the officials Of the United States
Steel corporation, Messrs. Frick and
Gary. who urged upon him the neces-
sity OF permitting the Steel corpora.
ton tC buy the Tennessee concern in
order to save a business institution
of New York city during the panicky
days Of October and November, 1907.
Mr.. Bacon expressed doubt whether
the senate should pronounce finally
on the question whether the president
committed a wrongful act, for the
reason that the senate is judge in i'm
parchment proceedings. He takes the
position that the merger was illegal,
but that the senate should not take
any action 10 prejudice any proceed
ings that might hereafter be brought
before it.
From the report signed and submit
tod it appears that had it not been
for the illness Of Senator Bacon and
MS absence from the committee the
report declaring the president acted
without authority OF law would have
been made as the opinion of the CON-
mittee. In any event Senators Cul-
berscn and Kittredge take the position
that 4 majority of the committee has
reported that the merger was illegal
snd that the department of justice
should proceed against the United
States Steel corporation to dissolve it.
! The disagreement on the resolution
was placed OH the calendar and will
expire with the close of the present

RULING IN SPOKANE CASE

Schedules From st. Paul and Chicago
to tie Washington City Reduced
1924 Per cent-Action Likely to
Work 9 Revolution in Rates From
Eastern Points to Interior Trans
continental Territory.
Washington, March 3.-In what IS
known. as. the. Spokane rate case, the
case. Of: the .city:::.o Spokane, WASH
against che Northern Pacific Railway
company and others, the interstate
commerce commission decided the
swo points in the complaint filed by
the city Of Spokane against the North
ern Pacific, the Great Northern and
the Union Pacific. which were:
~First-TIat the rates from Eastern
destinations. to Spokane were higher
than to Seattle, a more distant point
Seconld-That. the rates to Spokane
wer6in herently unreasonable.
On the first point defendants main
tanned that water competition com
pclled. them to charge the rates in 'ef
feet at Ssa:tle and. that therefore they
might. cIarge a higher rate to Spo
kane without violating the long and
short. haul provision or without dis
crimiuAr;ng against Spokane under
the laMy*:.
The commission :sHstains the claim
Of the defendants Il, this respect and
holds that the rates to Spokane, al
though higher than to Seattle, are not
unlawful. !
On the second point the commission
sustains tao claim Of the petition er
and holes that the rates from Eastern
destinations to Spokane are unjust
and unreasonable. It reduces class
rates from st. ianl to Spokane 1924
per cent and makes substantially the
same reduction from Chicago to Spo:
kare Rates east Of Chicago are not
dealt with. =:
The decision, if applied in principle
to all commodities and to all interior
points, must work revolution in
rates from Eastern poiEts Of origin to
all interior transcontinental territory
aud in that view it IS one of the most
farreaching decisions ever rendered
by the commission.
