Immense benefit to North Carolina. In

I Will say that prohibition has been Of
immense benefit to North Carolina. In
many districts 1t has brought peace and
prosperity where lawlessness prevailed.
The good effects Of this law are apparent
on all occasions where the people gather
for amusement or instruction. 1t has made
good citizens OF men who would not 9TH
erwise be good citizens. and has brought
peace and happiness to many homes of
this State
AS to the effect of prohibition upon the
finances of North Carolina, / will say that
the total revenues from all sources during
the year 1903, the last year during which
whiskey was sold under license, were So
066.439.62 During the year 1913. the last
year under prohibition. the total revenues
from all sources were s2,2s7,ooo.oo.
In 1908, the last year that whiskey was
sold, the average terms of the public
schools In North Carolina were barely four
months. This year many counties in the
State will have full six months term, and
in some counties It will be much more.
North Carolina has never known in her
history period of greater prosperity than
that through which she has passed since
prohibition was adopted. Real estate in all
of the cities and larger towns has greatly
enhanced in value, and every line of BUSH
Eess has prospered.
I do not claim that the abounding pros
pertty of North Carolina Is altogether due
to prohibition, but / do assert that the
we'll being of the State is in way i'm
peded by our prohibition law, but on the
contrary. Is entirely consonant with 1t.
(stgned) LOCKE CRAIG.
Governor.
Now which shall I believe the statements
IF the chief executive Of North Carolina the
statements OF the liquor men, who are yearly
taking $40. 100000 from people, making
distressed homes, weeping wives and mothers
!litreate. ragged, starving children. and sending
wo-thirds, or $2o,000.0o0 to the brewers and
liquor manufacturers of other States TO ali
heir Golfers and pay Virginia one-sixtieth of the
mount in return for the privilege Of thus rob-
ing people. and giving them nothing In
return but crime, misery, sorrow. disease, sin
md death. all OF which they make the. tax
payers of Virginia pay for; and vet they claim
hey are concerned about our taxes, l. e., our
pocket books, and indeed they are. They want
,ur money to hll their pockets: that Is all
Now with all due respect for my friends who
nay differ with me- cannot see how Christian
reo1Yle can place in side of the scales their
country. their homes, their children, and the
:nloon In the other side and vote for the saloon.

To lis, It Is especially gratifying 1osI
we were in the fight and We feel that
we were on the side with great m1-|

The battle is not yet won, howcvar.l
for in some sections tho snfcrcemene

This Is the experience In North CArottna
and other states and II will be ours
1t will take time to become AcOo1-,

will take time TO learn how to Anforcel

information not second ha nded. I wrote Gov

Enforce the law.

Virginia Is to be congratulated upon
the fact that the majority in favor
of Statewide prohibition Is large
enough to leave no question OF dount
in the minds of the people, which
insures an honest effort to enforce
the law when the saloons go out OF
business on October /. 1916, over
twenty-four months from now. Every
man in Virginia today, be he local
optionist or prohibitionist. VIII DO Wen

O. fair trial and do mis- part to see
that 1t is. No doubt the next iegls-
lature will enact further legislation
to more strictly enforce prohibition
and proba bly, will legislate direct aboi-
ishing tho privilege of manufacturing
wine and beer in Virginia to be
shipped to wet States. Let us be the
whole thing without any hanway
measures BY doing this the law can
be made more consistent. and Its

all swung into the dry column and
the question now arises as to whether
or not the dry people will take adj
vantage Of the sentiment created and
call elections in these cities to make
them dry before all are forced out of
business by the State law.--Wayerly
Dispatch.
With majority of forty thousand
for prohibition it cannot he said that
Virginia was undecided as to what
1t wanted in the premises. That sort
Of majority will make 1t easier to
enforce the law than would have
been the case had the election been
close. Prohibition sentiment has been
growing in Virginia all the time. and

Reporting the election activities in
Richmond Tuesday, the News Leader
sneerlngly remarked that the State

PROMPT Denial Shows Good Faith.
The prompt denial OF Anti-Saloon
league leaders, both locally and IN
Richmond, that 1t was not their inten-
ton to call local option elections IN
Lynchburg. Roanoke, Petersburg and
Newport News, puts an end TO the re-
mort and convinces everyone interest
ca OF the good faith OF rne dry lead
ers. The liquor question in the State
OF Virginia was settled at the polls
last Tuesday and nothing remains ex-
cept the enforcement of the law.

II was understood that the Anti-sa-
loon league would win or lose on tnat
proposition, and II was further IN.

The Dry Leaders.

ANY mOraIZlnS over the result pi
the election must perforce include the
unique and dominating personality of
James Cannon. Jr. He is the chief
architect Of the splendid organization
which has just achieved so signal and
conclusive victory. Like all strong
men in public life. he has aroused
bitter enmities. Some OF his oppo-
nents have been unsparing in their
criticism and wholly without regard
to truth In their charges against his
motives and character. He has thriven
under these because they were not
true. The fact is that he Is man
OF immense ability and energy. who
has dedicated himself to the accom-
plishment of great reform. For this
work he has not taken money. but has
given money. Standing close to him
as his first lieurenants are J. d. Nc
Alister and Sidney Peters. who have
played a powerful and effective part.
and must not be overlooked when the
honors OF the victory are awarded.
Nothing could exceed the energy and
Intelligence with which these men
performed the duties assigned to
them. Rev. Ed. J. Richardson. whom
we claim as a former resident OF Fred
erick county, both as lecturer and
an organizer, distinguished himself.
The Anti Saloon organization must
be kept up. First, because 1t lis in
the power of the general assembly to
change by statute the result OF the
election under the enabling act, and.
second, because the enforcement OF
the prohibition law is even more I'm
portant than the enactment of It

Who's the prophet?". In all the credit

stands out prominently as the main
instrum. mt in the redemption of Vir-
ginia from the shackles Of the saloon.
1t is highly probable that DR.. Cannon
has been the target of more ill-humor
and spleen than any man in publid
life during the past twenty years.
And those who know him know we'll
that no personal ambition has BEEN
back of his fight against liquor. Al
man of means, he has sacrificed near-
ly his all for the betterment OF Vir-
ginia. Today he sees the elimination
Of what he and thousands of con-
secrated followers have been working
and praying for years. Boozing and
conniving cannot successfully go up
against work and prayer.
AS to prophets, both sides must
acclaim him a seer. While the liquor
interests were claiming with publish
ed figures the State by 10000 ma
jority--eight Of the ten districts
DR.. Cannon modestly recited no fg-
ures, but claimed the State for pro-
hibitaon by about 10000 majority
and the loss OF only one district, the
Third, or Richmond district--Vir-
