"A very brief glance into political
history will disclose that the initia-

considered essentially complimentary.
It will readily be recalled that for

trust of legislatures as truly repre-
sentative Of popular will was wide
spread and there was vigorous aglta-
tion for corrective.
"The press teemed with discussion
of the initiative and referendum. al

league would have long ago gone the way OF

Of representatives OF the liquor interests.

fact that because the AntSaloon league has al

allowed itself as organization TO be drawn
into political controversies, that ergo 1t should

The Evening Journal, that arch advocate OF
the saloon, the beloved of the liquor interests
IS greatly disappointed because its slanderous
attacks the people of Durham, the leaders
of the temperance movement, and the Chris

of little avail to its cause and OF SO great
detriment to its own standing 1t gives vent
to It's disappointment in the sad wall "Dignifed

about time for the Journal 10 realize that even
its saloon patrons disappointed with its
failure to make any Roadway for them in it's
desperate effort TO earn its reward.
II is to be noted that the Journal, in re-
ferrng to its printed falsehood attributed to
Mayor Brogden- of Durham, says 1t was not
obtained from Mayor Brogden by represen-
tative OF the Journal, but was furnished to the
paper by reputable man and was published in
good faith. Is this the Journals answer to The

so chary Of publishing Mayor Brogdens denial?

yertisement why was 1t not marked as such as
the law requires The Norfolk virgnian- Pilot

Dear Sir,-Your letter of July 80 addressed to

and complying with your request that I write
you my conclusions In the matter, beg to ad-
wise that believed prohibition would be good
thing for Virginia.

Local Self Government movement are not OPP
posed to the temperance cause or will deny that
it will be blessing to any State, but that they
believe Statewide prohibition would be him
drance to the temperance cause.
In this l beg to differ with them. There is
very little difference, II any, In Virginia and
North Carolina, and prohibition has been good
thing for North Carolina or course 1t is not
perfect In some sections. but In the section from
which | came, it Is absolutely the best thing that
has happened to the State since the adjustment

whiskey not only went to waste but went for
the production of debauched and depraved
citizenship. This money IL now being used for

WHO ARE OUR FRIENDSp

Der, expecting to vote WET, paid one penny
into the treasury Of the whiskey forces?
Certainly not.
The saloons from all over the United States,
directly and indirectly, are shouldering the en-
tire costs.
What is the motive actuatng the saloon peo-
Pile other than the expectation OF continuing
their business?
Now then. If the saloons and their employees
are considering only their personal financial
GAIN and the Christians have nothing In view
but our present and eternal welfare and are
paying cheerfully the heavy expenses of this
work some OF whom have contributed thousands
each in addition to time and talent, knowing full
well they are instruments In Gods hands for the
carrying on OF his work, Ia 1t not very slight
manifestation OF appreciation on our part for US
to cast our votes In favor of prohibition? Why
not give them the opportunity for trying out
their claims?
Are the Christians classifying the facts and
shall we depend upon the saloonists for the
truth?
In whom have the most confidence, the
Christians who fortify, their statements with
their personal funds or the saloonkeepers and
their emissaries working for personal, imam
cial gains?
Consider this maturely before the day OF
election.
Who are our friends?
