HOLLYWOOD, Cal, June 29-
New license plates, now being made
ready for Indiana motorists of 1894,
will have white letters upon a black
background.
This was revealed at the Para
mount studios here on receipt of a
sample plate from the Indiana
bureau of motor vehicles, so that
the studio will be authentic in film
ing scenes in which 1884 Indiana
cars are to be shown.
The new plates were recorded for
future screen use at Paramount
when photographed with Iona

SKIP ELECTION
RULING IS SET
FOR SATURDAY
Cox Makes Announcement
at End of Hearing on
Moore'S Suit.

Ruling on validity of the skip
election" law, postponing municipal
elections until 1884 will be given by
Circuit Judge Earl r. Cox Saturday
morning, he announced at conclu-
sion of hearing arguments Thurs
day.
The case was brought into court
by Boynton j. Moore, Republican
candidate for mayor and former city
councilman, who filed notice Of can
didacy in the spring primary which
was to be held Tuesday.
Legal question raised by opposing
attorneys hinged on the states pow
er to act in municipal affairs. 1t
was the contention of the defense
that the state has power to act in
cities, which were termed creatures
of the state"
Argument against the law, ad-
vanced by Clinton H Givan, former
superior court judge and Moore's at
torney, was that the state has no
power to incur expenses for a city
Under provisions OF the law, expense
of the election in 1884 would be
borne by the city.
Fred Masters, co-counsel with
Givan, argued that title of the 1888
statute is defective.
Defense of the law was advanced
by Charles E. Cox, former judge /;
Edward H. Knight, corporation
counsel; James E, Deery, city attor-
ney; Joseph Hutchinson, represent
ing the attorney-generals office, and
Charles Remster.

HONOR TO THE CAROLINAS

| Some of those who applauded courage when II
consisted of coming out at the head of a Jeerlne
mob against prohibition seem strangely unapprecia-
tive of that quality when it is displayed on the
other side, as in the recent vote of the Carolnas
dissenting from repeal Yet seldom has there been
more splendid or more needed example of hay
ing the courage of ones convictions If the refer
endum repeal was to be referendum at all II
was elementary that those who disagreed should
express their disagreement.
The two-to-one dry victory in North Carolina
has been explained as due in part to a very JUST
fable shifting of the issue from national prohibit
ton to the probable effect of the vote on state
prohibition in that commonwealth. In South Caro-
lima is is said that inactivity of wet leaders was re-
spcnsible-which would seem to indicate that re-
volt against the 18th Amendment was not every
where so spontaneous as has been represented.
But other factors may be mentioned, too. a
potent one in North Carolina was the plea OF the
veteran former Senator Furnifold NJ. Simmons that
the State maintain unimpaired its laws against the
manufacture or sale of liquor. Former Senator
Cameron Morrison also aided the dry fight and i
had the support of such newspapers the Win
ston- Salem Journal and New Bern Tribune.
Turning to South Carolina, too and rejecting
that the question of how liquor shall be controlled
has doomed larger and more menacing as repeal
came nearer, one wonders if many South Caro-
Iinians did not remember their unpleasant expert
ence as the one state in which the politically con-
trolled dispensary system tried out before ma
tional prohibition.
At any rate the growing closeness of some of
the later votes, as in Kentucky and Utah, suggests
that SOLDERING down process has begun to take
place among the socially responsible as they come
face to face with the liquorng up of the drinkers
The gay promises of repeal seem little less re-
assuring now that the enchantment of distance is
removed from the view.
In this calmer atmosphere the action of North
and South Carolina makes it fairly likely that the
21st Amendment will not be ratified by as many
states as ratified the 18th Amendment. The deci-
sion then fell short of unanimity by only two
Among the nine states that have not yet voted on
repeal are Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Georgia
Mississippi and the Dakotas. A dry vote by any Of
these or failure to call vote would leave the re-
peal amendment short of the mark by which prohi-
biton was adopted.-Christian Science Monitor.

A BETTER YEAR TO COME

A meteorological scientist, speaking over the
radio one evening recently said the present year
had been unusually severe in storms and earth
quakes, but remarked casually that "next year
won't be as bad.'
We certainly hope he proves to be a good
prophet
The past year has indeed seemed to be particu-
larry trying in the matter of climatic conditions
and phenomena. Without the records, however, we
would hesitate to attempt to say whether it had
been as bad or worse than some others.
Now, however, we have scientific confirmation OF
the popular impression. Which suggests that popu-
lar belief signs and omens and old wives sayings
often have the wisdom of experience to back then,
up.
Six earthquakes in the western hemisphere in
one week remind that there have been many
destructive movements of the earth crust during
the past several months Tornadoes and floods have
been especially severe and destructive since early
in the summer season. Severe drought on the
other hand, has spread over a good deal of the
country.
Through all these vicssitudes, however, the ma
ton has come to an abundant harvest, sufficient
for all our needs, which only our mismanage-
ment has made it difficult to divide amongst US
with individual sufficency.-The Rock Hill Is. c.

Judge E. Yates Webb, sitting in U. s.
district court in Asheville, announces that
moonshiners are few in this section Of
North Carolina. The Judge says our pre-
hibition system is working and that the il
licit liquor business is being slowly but
surely stamped out in Western North Care
lima. Much of the liquor sold in this sec
ton is made in Tennessee and Georgia
Judge Webb says. However, it must be
remembered that while Judge Webb has
been on the federal court bench for years
dealing directly with violators of the pro,

satisfactorily explained, 1t has been sug-
gested that it was cloud of volcanic dust
blown in from distant country. Another
suggestion is that it was small section OF

WHERE HE is NEEDED

The press in the State is hailing Senator Nor
rson as the needed economist of North Carolina to
help swing the productive capacities of its people
around to parity with their consumption require
ments
And perhaps, after all this is the challenge that
is coming to the former State leader more sternly
and insistenty than any other call for his public
services.
His address before the Charlotte Food Show,
which he may have considered of no particular
Importance, has been widely taken note of by the
newspapers and he is being blessed with their hopes
that he will find this field to be that in which his
future days will be abundantly and effective
ly spent.
There is to be sure, q clear and keen call COM
ing to some outstanding leader of North Carolina
to major in this venture of bringing about more
rational balance in its agricultural life between
that which it produces and that which it consumes.
None so far has arisen to fill the shoes left va
cant by the death of the lamented Dr. Branson,
whose labors to fine fruitage in this respect.
His voice was voice for years crying in the viii
derness to which few at the time gave ear, but
which in later years the multitudes were respect
ing and following.
North Carolina does for fact, need the serv-
ices of such conspicuous leader as Mr.. Morrison
to swing this economic tide around to an intelligent
and wealth-producing 'basis.-Charlotte Observer

A writer in your Saturday is
sue complains that Jake Newell
injected politics in the prohibi-
ton question when he claimed
the recent election was Republi-
can victory. Why, my dear sir,
prohibition has been saturated
with politics ever since its birth.
1t came into the world a political
baby and matured into a giant.
Who can fail to know that pro-
hibition is not a fiat of the
church, but a fiasco enacted at
Washington by a bunch of shifty
politicians. This being a free
country there is nothing to pre-
vent churches from entering into
politics when they have nothing
better to do. but to claim that
bootleg traffic is more moral
than legal traffic under govern
ment supervision is putting
heavy strain on the credulity of
all thoughtful people.
Yours very truly,
