Showing How the Minister'S Use Of
Beer Even on Prescription Became
a Scandal.

Not long 40 a Marion physician
prescribed beer for a convalescing
superannuated minister. From the
moment the first case Of beer was de-
livered the minister's wife worried
and fretted lest some Of the neigh
bors and friends should learn of the
family's fall from grace" In fact,
the wife let her thoughts linger over
the situation until at last she brought
herself to believe that about half the
people in town knew that they had
beer in the cellar
no her own mind the wife's sus-
picions were fully confirmed when
a junk dealer with a push cart came
along. Stopping at the minister's
home, he said: Madam, have you any
old rags, rubber, iron, brass beer
bottles?"
The woman shook her head. Then
rushing into the house, she ex-
claimed: We'll, for goodness sake!
How do you suppose that fellow
knows father is drinking beer?-

The Bosses Dilema

The recent State Democratic
Convention, the one, Terese,
where they murdered the Pro-
gressives and buried the corpse
with appropriate ceremonies, has
left in its wake instead of har-
mony, bowling from the pro-
gressives - and recriminations
and explanations. both amusing
and absurd, from the bosses
who ran things.
All of which is very distress
ing to the noble hearted bosses
and goes to show the ingratitude
of constituencies. At a very
conservative estimate, sixty per
cent of the press of the State are
emphatic in their condemnation
Of the proceedings of the con-
vention, about twenty five per
cent mildly disapprove, the 9TH
er fifteen per cent, with a few
exceptions are on the fence.
AS the utterances of the press
are simply the reflection of the
sentiments Of the people, it is a
fairly safe bet that some Of our

A Black Recorder

President Wilson should moi
appoint negro to fill the office
of recorder of deeds for the Dis
trict of Columbia. To do so is a
direct and studied insult to the
south that elected him. Nothing
he could do would so ALLEVIATE the
South as an appointment of this
kind. We believe in being fair to
negroes, but we do not believe in
appointing a black to a position
where he will have working d.
rectly under him dozen of white
men and women. That is not
our idea of fairness.
If President Wilson persists in
appointing a negro, he will Ger
tainly lose both the affection and
respect of a large number of
Southern people, even though
the Senate does not confirm this
appointment.

Virginia's Reformation

Col. Alfred B. Williams of the
Roanoke Times is making a
rather extensive tour of the
grand Old North State gathering
data and information relative to
prohibition and its workings in
this State.
Col. Williams is on the anti
prohibitionist side of the argu-
ment that is about to split
Virginia into more parts than
all Gaul. +" Col. Williams for a
long time was on the staff of the
Richmond Virginian and left that
paper on account of his anti-pro-
hibitionist views. We greatly
fear that judged from his stand
point his mission to North Car
DINA will prove far from fruitful.
North Carolina has tried pro-
hibition and likes it. 1t is not
strictly observed all over the
State it is true, but neither was
any other law and progress to-
wards a better observance of this
law is being made every day.
Many speakers from North
Carolina will doubtless invade
Virginia by request and explain
prohibition and its workings to
the citizens of the sister State.
Many other supporters of both
sides of the question will probab-
ly follow on Col. Williams heels:
in fact, the prohibition question
in Virginia will be argued princi-
pally on the merits and dement's
of the North Carolina law.
1t is not only on the prohibition
question that Virginia has much
to learn from North Carolina:
our banking laws, our criminal
records, our road system, our in
crease in property values, are all
points that may be studied with
advantage by Virginians.

eminent gangsters are going to
rue the day they did it to the
progressives. The public con-
science in matters of government
are aroused and the why's are
becoming very embarrassing to
the leaders.
The Convention was most noted
by what it did not do: it left the
question of the constitutional
amendments on the table.
when party policy and party
honesty emphatically demanded
that a vigorous expression of
opinion on these amendments be
made; it utterly disregarded
the demand for Statewide Pri-
mary Law, a just and equitable
system of taxation (which is ur-
gently needed on account of the
present demoralized condition
of the finance of the State) and
other important matters unnec-
essary to mention.
In spite of the convention, the
next legislature will probably
pass a statewide primary law.
At any rate such a bill will be
introduced. 1t behooves the
citizens of every county to Sc
cure from their representatives
and senators an expression as
to how they stand on this ques-
ton. If the people will bestir
themselves there is yet time to
make absolutely sure the passage
of such a law.
And no law is more vitality
needed in North Carolina.
