THE MANDATE

The people of North Carolina have given a man.
date in no uncertain voice. They have spoken in
tones of thunder.
The mandate is upon the legislature to maintain
and if necessary, strengthen the state laws against
the manufacture and sale of Intoxicating liquors in
North Carolina.
The mandate is upon the governor, who voted
against prohibition yesterday, but who is, never
theless our chief executive officer to enforce the
state law prohibiting the liquor traffic.
The mandate is upon the United States senator
who says there are 10000 open "barrooms' in
North Carolina-an average of 400 to the county
to report such "harrooms' as he has personal
knowledge of to the sheriffs of the counties in
which they are operating in open defiance of the
laws of the state.
The mandate is upon sheriffs and chiefs of po-
lice and mayors everywhere in North Carolina to
observe and enforce the prohibition laws and drive
the bootieggers and rumrunners from our streets
and highways.
The mandate is upon solicitors to prosecute with
courage and unrelenting zeal every distier and
bootlegger who is caught in this state.
The mandate is upon judges of city and superior
courts in every city and district to mete out pun
both the law and the public opinion of this com
monwealth.
The mandate is upon a minority of our citizens
who heretofore have patronzed protected, main
tanned and shielded bootleggers to cooperate with
officials in maintaining law and order, that they no
longer conspire with and give aid and comfort TO
those who live in open defiance of the government
under which they live.
This is the clear and unmistakable meaning of
the avalanche of ballots that brought victory to the
prohibition forces by majority of landslide pro-
portions in North Carolina yesterday.
No longer shall the people of this state depend
upon the federal government to enforce prohibi-
ton of the liquor traffic They demand that their
own state and county officers enforce the Turing-
ton Act, state law that is even strcter than the
Volstead Act
After what happened in North Carolina yester-
day, no longer officials anywhere in this state
offer as an excuse for failure to enforce prohbi-
ton the plea that public opinion does not support
this law" Public opinion has spoken in language
that no official can Observation-Disclosures in

ABSOLUTISM IN ITALY

Reactionism with vengeance is to be seen ir
the sort of absolute government Premier Musso
lint is building up in Italy.
Even the form of popular government to be
found in the legislative functions of the chamber
of deputies is soon to disappear.
The usual elections for new chamber are to
be held next spring. After that, the chamber,
which even now is innocuous sort of legislature
has already received definite warning in II Ducl's
speech of Tuesday, to abolish itself
"The chamber of deputies has never pleased me- /"
said Mussolini in this speech to- the National Couu-
ell of Corporations which he proposes to substitute
for the chamber, at least in far as economic
legislation is concerned.
| "In fact said II Duce, "this chamber of denu-
ties is anachronistic in it's very title It IS an in
stitution which have found to be extraneops n
our mentality and to our fashion as Fascistso
An absoutism after the fashion of the Pbaroabe
| and the kings of Babylon and the Medes and por
/ slams seems to be about what Mussolini is amiro
at.

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
INEXCUSABLE WASTE

The forest fires now raging in Jackson county,
like the forest fires which almost every year 90 -
much damage in the mountains of Western NORM
Carolina, represent inexcusabe waste That they
are terrifcally wasteful is evidenced by the eSt-
mate of Fire Warden W. X Beicher that already
the fires in Jackson county have destroyed prob
ably $1,000 to 100000 worth of property
and the fires are not yet under control. That this
waste is ineXcuSable is shown by the TACT that
where the proper steps are taken for fire protec-
ton such fires can be and prevented from geE-
ting out of hand.
Tho limited States is now spending millions of
dollars on the CCC camps which are being devoted
1oroeI,, m forestry conservation. Throughout int
nense areas these camps have been used for the
preliminary work of protecting the forests against
fires which are the chief problem of southern for
estrv. But such fires cannot be prevented unless a
thorough guard against them is maintained and 1t
Is especially necessary that this guard be vigialt
and competent at this season of the year. Jackson
county it is stated had signed up for protection
against forest fires but unfortunately signed too
late It did not take action until November and
there had not been time for making the necessary
arrangements and getting the necessary equip
ment. The result is a loss already approximating
three-ouarters of a million dollars, with many Of
the streams so clogged with burnedi refuse from
the fires that the fishing on them has probably
been DESTROYED or seriously impaired.
With heavy leaf fall, prolonged dry weather
and winds that have been higher and more constant
than usual in the mountains at this season of the
wear. the present autumn has been one in which
the threat of forest fires has been one that had to
be taken very seriously. What has happened IN
Jackson county cannot now be helped but it is to
be hoped that the warning of the heavy losses
which have been experienced there will cause the
efforts to prevent similar losses elsewhere to be re-
doubled The cost of protection against such fires
is infinitessmal when compared with The damage
which they cause.-Asheville Citizen.

SUPPOSE WE TRIED MUSSOLINPS
PLAN
CBY BRUCE CATION

Whatever else may be said about Mus
solini's, scheme for the government OF
Italy, IT is at least one of the most interest
ing departures from orthodox political
practice ever attempted.
To understand fully what it means, it IS
instructive to make an imaginative trans
fer of the whole business to the United
States. Pretend that Franklin Roosevelt Is
Mussolini, and that the Fascist scheme re-
places the present set-up over here. What
happens?
Congress, to begin with, is permitted to
die of malnutrition. 1t is suffered to exist
for a few years longer as a sort of verml-
form appendix, but its functions are gone.
In IT'S place rises Council of Corpora
tons. Here we have representatives from
the great industries One group represents
the steel trust, another the coal trust, an
other the oil trust, another the tobacco
trust, another agriculture, and so on, down
the line.
It is nice question whether you cOulG
say that these industries are under govern
ment control or that they control govern
ment.
At any rate, we go on down the line and
find all our existing labor unions put on
the scrap heap, to be replaced by huge
vertical organizations, or guilds. All the
workers in the steel industry are grouped
in one body, all the automobile workers in
another, and so on And these unions are
not like any labor unions we previously
have known. They cannot call strikes.
They are not independent.
And in politics? There is only one party
the Democrats 1t is a rubber stamp for
the president and his advisers. Its MEM
bers never dissent from the policies of the
inner circle.
They are disciplined perfectly. Repuh
licans, if they open their mouths, are sent
to the new prison on Alcatraz Island.
Newspaper editors submit their editorials
to Jim Farley for correction. Herbert Hoo
Yer and Norman Foster migrate to Can
ada. William z. Foster is shot.
1t would be pretty hard to think of
more topsy-turvy arrangement. By mag
lining what life in such a castiron strait
Jacket would be like, we can get new
conception of the supreme Importance Of
bringing our democratic institutions thru
the present trying times intact.

New York's Squatters

Fifth avenue, New YOrk's fashion
able thoroughfare, was not always
we'll regarded. There was a time
when it was used chiefly by the
thousands of squatters who lived in
hutS on what is now Central park.
They collected bits of food from
barrels in the residential sections of
the lower city and carted it back
up Fifth avenue in wagons drawn
by dogs. This was to feed hundreds
of animals kept by the squatters in
their settlement.

MI. Editor:
Please allow me to make public
protest in the name of God
against the common habit of des-
ignating the man who has but
little money or property as "The
Little Man."
Mr.. Gardner had, l think, an
utter misconception Of the true
measure of q man when he coined
that term. Unfortunately the
public at once caught it up and
the term is now in evcrybody's
mouth.
"The Little Man. Oh, yes,
little money, little man.
Nothing could be palmer evil
dence of the servile alteration
with which the general public
worships the majesty of the al
mighty dollar!
Measured by this yardstick Of
Mr.. Gardeners invention, the
Apostle Peter, with all his power
in the name Of Jesus of Nazareth
to impart to a man lame from
his mothers womb strength to
rise up and walk, since silver and
gold he had none, was still but a
little man. Measured by the
same yardstick, Jesus Of Nazareth
himself, since he had not where
to lay his head and must have
recourse to a coin found in a
fish's mouth TO pay for himself
and Peter the half-shekel, was
among the least of men.

alongside, leaped across the sidewalk
and leaned over the railing to grasp
the girls wrists.

taken to the Women'S Bureau, where
policewomen telephoned her mother,
Mrs. Genevieve Gates.
Questioned as to why she climbed
over the railing the girl explained
tearfully that she had been getting bad
marks at school, and that she had been
unhappy since coming to Washington
from her former home in Miami, Fla.
Hands said the child's fingers were
slipping as they grasped the ledge when
he arrived at her side. She told him,
Hands said, that she had expected to
drop, but changed her mind on find
ing she could not regain the sidewalk
unassisted.
Dorothy, police said. promised never
to try such thing again. The bridge
was almost deserted when the Incl
dent occurred. shortly after 9 pm.

BUILDING Of HOMES
INCREASED IN APRIL
20 Per Cent Gain Reported,
Whereas Construction as
Whole Declined.
Residential building contracts award

Residential building contracts award
ed during April all over the country
showed an expansion of almost 20 per
cent as contrasted with the record for
the preceding month, according to F.
w. Dodge Corporation. This gain Is of
large significance when contrasted with
the fact that for total construction
awards, inclusive of residential, de-
cline of almost per cent occurred be-
tween the two months.
The April contract volume for con-
struction of all types amounted to
$50, 900; this contrasts with S59,-
958, 500 for March and $121, ,704, 800 for
April Of last year. For the first four
months of 1888 contracts totaled $252,-
599, 300 as against $407. .783, 500 for the
corresponding period of 1892.
For residential building April con-
tracts amounted to $19, 143, 500 as COM
pared with $16,02I 900 for March and
though the contract total for residential
building was only two-thirds as large
as that Of a year ago, singularly this
class of building made the best show
ing as against April. 1882.
For non-reSidential building April
contracts totaled $23,806, 700 as COM
pared with s26,359, 900 for March and
$45,515, 900 for April, 1882.
For public works the April total was
S11 ,232 500 as against S15,079, 400 for
March and s42, 1884, 200 for April Of last
year. For this latter class Of construc-
ton some improvement may occur later
in the year as a result of governmental
work to be launched under authority
likely to be granted In Congress.
For public utilities the April con-
tract total was $2,39o, 200 as compared
with $2,499, 900 in March and $4,910,-
900 for April of last year.
April construction awards showed
gains over March In the New England,
Upstate New York, Middle Atlantic and
the Central Northwest districts: the
remaining nine territories reported
losses. All districts showed declines
from April, 1882.
