4 prominent lawyer Of the state.
In letter 20 The caaesss.a. saga:
II notice that q Democratic bill
hax been introduced In the Legisla-
fure providing that no State cfscer
shall take employment n attorney
IN any case 10 collect money from the
State IL this bill is offered in good
faith and 10 intended to result in any
benefit TO the people. then clearly IL
should be amended 10 ~ TO really ac-
eompIish q very much needed and
wholesome reform The bill should.
By all means. provide that no mem
Der Of the Legislature. that no So
licitor. that no Congressman. and
that no State officer OF any kind
should, while holding such once. &C
eept employment as attorney from
any public utility corporation or 9TH
er corporation OF any kind.
And IL 1t ID the desire OF the au-
thor of said bill to make the same
truly effective. then his bill should
further provide that any such officer
should not only not accept such en-
ployment while holding SUCH ONCE.
but he should not do SO for at least
two years after going out OF ONCE
Such a provision would, TO some ex-
tent, be a check on any public officer
who would make a private bargain.
while he was in Office, to accept open
employment after he went out Of Of
flee.
II have no idea that such a bill
could be passed through the Legisla-
ture, because there are unquestion-
ably enough Democratic politicians
holding office to-day who would be
affected by 1t to prevent its passage"
The above is very timely sugges-
ton, and the introduction Of such
bill would quickly test the sincerity
of large number of partisan hypo-
crits.
In this connection, it is pertinent
to inquire how many members of the
present Legislature are attorneys for
corporations, whose selfish interests
might be affected by wholesome leg
islation? The same inquiry might
well be extended to the Solicitors and
to the Congressman of the State.
The real danger of a public official
accepting position as attorney
while holding such position or i'm
mediately afterwards, is that his duty
as attorney would conflict with his
duty as public officer; and where
such officials are attorneys for pub
lie service corporations and other
corporations that should be regulated |
by law in the interest of the public,
there is constant and eternal an
tagonism between the interests of the
people and the desires of the corpor-
ations. 1t is in such cases that it is
most important for officials not to act !
as attorneys, and it is in such cases
that the public interest is made to
suffer and the ends of justice con-
stantly defeated.
There is a crying need in North |
Carolina to-day for such a wholesome
reform

Following the last election. l
read closely not only the election
news, but also the aftermath. l
was very much struck with the
number of times in the various
States where a recount Of the
vote in the election OF a Con-
gresham or some State Official
or some minor official was had,
and I was also struck with the
fact of how many times the
election results were changed by
a recount of the vote.
IF / remember correctly,
there are four or five Congress
men who will serve In the next
House, whose certificates were
secured by a demand for a re-
count OF the votes in their dis
tricts. I am satisfied that there
was much election fraud and ir-
regularity in this State that
must have affected the vote in
every close county, Senatorial
District or Congressional Dis
trict. Now. / want to ask why
1t Is that there was no recount
Of the votes in any county or
district In this Slater"
The answer to this inquiry Is very
simple. Our elections are held un-
der Democratic election law.
which, on its face, shows that 1t was
purposely drawn to make election
frauds possible, and to protect the
thieves and ballot-box suffers. There
Is no provision in our election law
In this State for preserving the votes
so that there may be recount, when
there is substantial ground for be-
lieving that there was fraud.
One Of the last things that bal
Iot-box suffer wants, as a check on
him, is a preservation of the ballot,
80 that there may be recount of the
same. Under our law, the Democra-
lie election officials can assign the
one Republican judge to keep tally,
while a Democratic election official
1raws the ballots from the box and
whether it is for a Repub-
lean or a Democratic candidate. The
ballot is Immediately destroyed, and
n this way any number of Republi-
AN ballots can be read out and an
as being a Democratic bal
OF, and there Is no eye to see wheth-
n or not the announcement Is cor
'ect, and there is no possible way for
the ballots and having
'ecount when there is good reason to
believe that there is fraud.
The Democratic election officials
Usually assign the one Republican
election official to the magistrate box
Or to some unimportant box, so that
lie is not only not allowed to handle
my Of the important ballots, but is
wen not permitted to tally down the
Votes as announced by the Democra-
lie officials.
If any one can devise or point opt
/ form of election law that is more
fruitful for ballot-box stufing and
or dishonest count than the pres
INT Democratic law in North Caro-
ina, The Caucasian is willing to Of
er prize for his services.

GERRYMANDERIN THE STATE
"A WARNING.


While this Legislature is consid
ering re-districting the State for par
ty advantage, it would be well t,
alse consider the following warnin,
which appeared as an editorial il
yesterdays Charlotte Observer:
There may be no need of the
warning, but We want to say
that the Legislature should go
slow in re-districting the State.
For one thing, the election of
last November was not a normal
election and should not be made
the basis of political calcula-
tions in the effort to keep out
Republican Congressional candi-
dates. If the abnormal charac-
ter of this election is not recog-
nized, the greatness of the vic
tory may prove calamitous. In
North Carolina, as in the coun-
try at large, but in a heightened
degree here for special reasons,
Democratic victories were won
almost entirely by Republican
stay-at-home votes. These stay
at-homes have not become Dem
ocrats and the probability, of
course, is that most of them
will vote their party ticket in
the Presidential election next
year.
1t should be said also that
any plan which would virtually
legislate man out of Congress
AS detaching Cleveland Coun-
ty from the Ninth Congression-
al District and adding it to the
Tenth, would affect Representa-
tive Webb-is to be condemned

Everybody's Bible Question Box
Observation-Disclosures

19O.-We read in the Bible
that David was one of the holy
praphets, does the Bible show
that David went to heaven when
he died?
Answer.-David was the second
Cling of Israel, one of the holy pro-
phets and is spoken of in the Scrip
lures as "A man after Gods own
heart" He died nearly one thousand
years before the crucifixion of our
Lord. If David could go to heaven
at his death and before the coming
of our Lord then there could seem
to be no reason for the death and
resurrection of Jesus. On the con-
trary, the Scriptures show that there
was no opportunity for any enter
heaven until the death and resur-
rection of Jesus Christ (11 Timothy
1, 100. The Apostle says, that Jesus
was the first to be raised from the
dead q Corinthians XIV, 20). Near

cended up to heave" John III, 49,
Surely David was not there then.
Speaking directly concerning David
the Apostle Peter says: Men and
brethren, let me speak freely unto
you of the patriarch David, that he
is both dead and buried, and his
sepulcher is with us to this day"
For David is not assembled into the
heavens" (Acts II, 29-34). 1t will
be noted that the Apostle made his
statement even after the resurrec-
ton and ascension of Jesus into
heaven. Years AFTERWARDS the Apostle
Paul mentioned David with others
(Hebrews XII, 32-4O), saying And
these all having obtained a good re-
port through faith received not the
promise; God having provided some
better thing for us(the church,
that they without us should not be
made perfect" 1t is therefore very
clear that the holy prophets at death
did not enter into their reward
promised them by Jehovah. Again
the Apostle says, These all died in
faith not received the promises. but
having seen them afar off" Gin the
future), which shows that they did
