HENDERSON. N c., THURSDAY, MARCH II, 1910

In serious way the cases must final
ly test the question OF whether the
old order will continue under the
constitution, or whether the new
order shall obtain which puts the
Legislature practically above the
constitution. That the trend is in
the latter direction all who watch
events may see in the action of Con-
gress; as acts of this character indi-
cate in a more restricted sphere of i'll
fiuence within the State.
SERIOUSNESS OF SITUATION.
I'VE but suggest the seriousness of
the Charlotte situation We take it
that not even the grand jury bring
ing the indictments thought that
the Charlotte clubs were blind ii
gers Certainly, they conld not have
imagined that the officer of the Mys-
tic Shrine was engaged in peddling
liquor.
The grand jury, however, is to be
commended. 1t took the law as it
found it, without attempt to AFRO
gate to itself judicial functions. 1t
did its duty, and the burden is off its
shoulders. Very properly the grand
jury did not undertake to say that
the law was right or that it was
wrong, In the light of that question
il is to de hoped that the cases will
go to the Supreme Court clearly de-
fined upon the issue, so that the new
policy of the law may be recognized,
if it is good, and dIsregarded if it's
bad. If the action of this Mpcklen-
burg jury in leaving difficult ques-
tions to the courts were to be adopt
I'd by the municipal governments OF
Raleigh, Wilmington, Charlotte and
other of the larger towns in the State
the perplexing matters arising out of
the prohibition law would be speedily
'atalogued in order and decency i'll
stead of in uncertainty and confu-
sion.

A Word By the Way.
Raleigh State Democrat.


If anybody thinks this paper would
fight in theinterest of liquor, he is to
that degree mistaken. We fight for
a fundamental principle of Democ-
racy, which must apply to liquor or
water, as the case may be. The
truth is, the liquor men out of the
State are not friendly to Il paper
that holds deposition this one does
They want the situation to remain
just as it is. All they want is for Con
gress to hands off, which it will for
ever do, and le0 them squat over the
border line and sell as much or even
more whiskey than they ever did at
retaHprices to the trade in North Car
Oiina. The blind tiger is not wor-
rying; he is doing well, whether he is
operating his business in u glass
front drug store or a hole in the wall.
He is letting the world wag. There
could be but one better situation for
him, and that is to have the open
bar, which no appreciable influence
in the State willpver advocate There
is no man so blind as the man who
will not see. Why the advocates ol
State prohibition cannot see that
their course plays into the hands
of the wholesale liquor dealer in
another State is simply unaccount-
able.
What we want to see is for the
Democratic party to live up to its
long-established principle; this will
regulate every human interest, ad-
just all controversies, whether they
be about water or wine. If we must
endure these evils, and We must, let
us so adjust them that they will be
under the law of our State, and make
their presence compensate the tax
payers for the evils they cannot es

News and Observer.

The alleged "free passes" that news
papers are supposed to receive have
been construed as knocked out by
decision of the United States Su-
preme Court in the matter of the
Hepburn railroad rate law, but is apt
to come up again in a new phase "for
value received" in the Supreme Court
In the legitimate advertising of
railroads by newspapers, there can
not be any 'free passes" for there is
simply an exchange of commodities,
the railroads paying for SO much
space for advertising with SO many
miles of transportation The Hep
burn law applying to Interstate
travel it affects contracts for trans
portation across State lines and the
railroads by the discision of the
United States Supreme Court are for
hidden to pay for advertising with
mileage books or any form Of tickets,
this however, not applying to travel
within the State, which is regulated
by the State laws
The new phase OF the matter, in the
question of ''fOr value receceived, is
thus discussed by Les!ie's Weekly:
can interesting question has arisen
as to the validity Of the anti-free
pass section Of the Hepburn railroad
rate law. The Louisville and Nash
vile Railroad, in settling a claim for
personal injuries twenty years ago,
agreed, as a part Of the cOnsidera.
ton, to issue an annual life pass to a
man and his wife. After the passage
OF the Hepburn law the railroad re.
fused to issue the passes, and the
parties at interest brought suit to
compel the fulfilling OF their contract
The Kentucky court ordered the rail
road to issue the passes, on the
ground that they were not free, but
were granted for value received. The
case is now before the Supreme Court
| of the United States. If that court
decides that the contract is not d
violation of the Hepburn law, the de-
cision may have some bearing on the
ruling of the interstate commerce
commission against the exchange oI
transportation by railroads at full
rates with newspapers for advertising
space at full rates.
sit is understood that the inter.
state commerce commission, by n
majority of only one vote, decided
that this exchange was in violation
Of the law, although it was pointed
out that it was not the granting o.
free transportation, but simply III
exchange OF commodities at full rates
In the State OF New York the public
service act, as originally drawn, con
tanned the pbraseOlogy of the Hep
burn law regarding free transporta
| tion, but some Of the interior news
papers OF the State suggested that
the law should make clear that an ex
change of advertising space at full
rates for railroad transportation al
full rates was not prohibited. Gov
ernOr Hughes concurred in this sug
gestion, and the law was modified
accordingly and so stands on th'
statute books.
Leading newspapers would prefer
to put their business with the rail
roads entirely on a cash basis, but
many rural papers have for year,
been accustomed to exchange adver
tising space for transportation anC
they feel that they should not b
prohibited from continuing to do so.

LEGAL ASPECT OF CASE.


In this connection a very able edi-
torial lately appeared in the Will
mington Star by Editor Gray, who
is regarded as very able legal ad
wiser as we'll as pencil-pusher. 1t is
as follows:
"'The statutes based on prima fa-
Gle evidence are, We are glad to see,
to be given at last a real test in the
case of the social clubs and the en-
inently respectable gentlemen indict-
ed under the liquor laws by Meek
lenburg grand jury. In the one case
the clubs are indicted under the stat
ute making possession of United
States license prima facie evidence OF
the illegal sale OF intoxicants: in the
other under special statute which
makes prima facie evidence Of illegal
sale the possession of more than a
specified amount of liquors.
ITO many people, prohibitionists
not few amongN them, laws of this
character are ex pressive of a grave
and serious tendency. Both have
been in a measure upheld by the Su-
preme Court, but i'll no case has the
issue been drawn as sharply and
clearly as it will be in these. Upon
the result will depend only incident
ally the matter or liquor legislation;
more important will be the extension
or restriction OF Legislative powers.
WHAT POSSESSION MEANS.
What a man has has heretofore
| hi hnuAnl r no Of no lslv n
to say that he had it for an Illegal pur-
pose. Possession, when coupled with
other evidence, has long been com.
petent in certain cases as evidence
tending to show crime. On the other
hand it has been an agelong tenet
that crime must be established be
yOnd a reasonable doubt, and wheth
er prima facie evidence of this char
acter is of itself sufficient to justify 6
conviction or whether the jury shall
be left to say that it is sufficient is in G
sense immaterial. The serious point
is whether q state of facts consist
ent with innocence can under any
circumstances Justify a virdict o
guilty.
"This class of evidence seems to III
to be in line with the statutes max
ing reputation competent evidence o
guilt. \ refinement has held this tt

That the movement looking to-
wards the idictment of the people OF
this city who have within the past
two years or so ordered quantities
of beer and whiskey in excess of the
stipulated legal amount, 2H gallons,
will ultimately work to the detriment
of prohibition is the opinion of num-
Der OF the most prominent anti-sa-
loon men OF the city. The agitation
has furnished lively theme since the
report OF The grand jury when it pre-

known citizens of the city.

be Included in the list of those who
have had an excess of beer on hand
since the prohibition law became ef-
fectlve. 1t is customary for them to
order a barrel whenever it is needed
and to keep it in the clubs where il
can be obtained as easily us possible
And if the club rosters are included,
it is beyond doubt that some of the
most influential people of the city
will be indictable under the statute
and among them some good prohibi
tlOniSts, too.

everybody knows what the statute
was intended for. 1t was put on the
books when Salisbury was wet and
when the negroes were running there

quantities of liquor for retailing pur

soon come into disreputeif if good citi
zens Of Charlotte whom everybody
knows are not in the liquor business
