Editor Post Dispatch:
AS politics and campaign is
sues are fast becoming the order
of the day, it behooves every law
abiding citizen to be ready at
any and all times to take a bold
stand for the enforcement of law
and order and see to it that there
is no man nominated for public
office out of any party that has
anything to dc with making laws
or enforcing them in Richmond
county or in any other county in
North Carolina, as to that mat
ter, unless he or she can and will
stand fat-footed and declare
themselves squarely opposed to
any manufacturing or dealing in
any kind of Intoxicating bever-
ages. Every person living in
North Carolina that is competent
to cast a ballot knows that the
violation of the present prohibi-
ton law is the greatest curse
and the cause of more sad hearts
by crimes and immoral acts than
all other violations combined. 1t
is seldom YOU ever hear of any
serious accident of violation
against the law and order but
what has alcoholic intoXication
as the main cause. Nearly every
day I hear someone criticize
some law enforcement officer for
not doing so and So to stop so
much boot-legging and liquor
drinking; but they ought to re-
member that the officers are
never the first ones to find out
these violations. Christians and
law-abi ding citizens should do
personal duty towards informing
the officers Of such violations.
I believe any citizen that neglects
or knowingly refuses to give
such information is as guilty of
crime against law and good So
ciety as the violator himself.
And one other thing I hear Of
ficers criticized about is not pub
licly destroying all intoxicating
liquors after seizeing them. |
think as soon as they have been
produced on trial as evidence
that it all should then be taken
out before the public and de-
stroyed in some way as it then
should be considered that it had
served all it's lawful purposes.
Some will say that bootlegging
and liquor drinking don't bother
me as | nor any of my family
don't bother with it. But you
don't know how soon it may, as
many a person once just as inno-
cent and as good as you are have
later on lost their soul and body
from it's effects, and such is
bound to be a reflection on your
family, neighborhood, town, city,
county and state and the best in
terest of humanity.
This is my stand; condemn me
if you like. Respectfully,
A. D. SPIVEY.

PRESIDENT'SCABINET
AGAIN CONSIDERING
STRIKE QUESTION
Fear of Sympathy Strikes Is Now
Growing - VIII Says Backbone
OF Shop Crafts Strike Is
Broken.

Washington, Aug. 3. - Whether the
administration, its peace overtures
having failed, shall pursue a hands
off" policy so long as the public inter-
est is not menaced seriously and per-
NIT the rail and coal strikes to be
fought out to q finish was discussed
today by President Harding and his
cabinet.
Harding now has no immediate
plans for settling either strike, and the
test of strength may be allowed to
continue for a while.
The railroad executives want to
fight their own battle, believing they
can crush the shop crafts unions and
bring the men to terms. The bulk of
the coal operators feel the same way
and there is a disposition among some
OF Harding's advisers to let the dis
putants fight it out.
Other advisers, however, fear the
consequences of such a policy for
these reasons:
That the country already is suffer-
ing and every day the strikes continue
conditions will become worse.
That, if the shop crafts unions
show signs of giving away, the big
railroad brotherhoods may call SYM
pathetic strike, paralyzing the entire
country.
Color was given this view by a high
officials of the American Federation of
Labor. who said:
The shop crafts will not lose their
fight"
On the other hand, eastern railroad
executives profess to believe the strike
is broken. Gains in shop forces were
claimed today.
Recruiting will go on, John G. Wal
Der, speaking for all eastern roads
said, until shop forces are at full
strength.
Wall street watched progress OF the
roads offensive and pronounced the
strike won for the carriers. Charles E
Mitchell. president of the National
| City Bank of New York, said:
Reply of the railroads to President
Harding was just what it should have
been. There was nothing else to do.
