PUBLIC SENTIMENT UPHoLDS LAW

Florence township, in Pamlico county, is cited
for your approval as the driest and the most law
abiding community in this secton-and it isn't too
much to claim for it national honOrs.
In the recent repeal election, 70 votes of the
townships 156 were CASTS for prohibition, fou"
against.
Then, take note of this fact: in the entire COM
munity there has never been indictment or con-
viction of anyone liquor charge. Only once
was still known to have been set up in the town
ship. It was moved the next day. Law and order
is enforced-by officers Of the law? E. Yes. But
more than that :. by public sentiment
Tank up on liquor and invade community meet
ing there. You'll be told politely and firmly that
you may get out and stay out -. don't come back
in that condition any more" What's more, you
won't
There is-there has been for years-a sort Of
vigilance committee, maybe self-appointed, but
having all the sentiment of clean-livng people
behind it that tolerates disOrderly or unlawful
behavior. . 1t functions without fear or favor
Yes, sir, you have here the model for community
life A God-fearing, thrifty and kindly people,

NEWSPAPERS OPINION
DANGEROUS

About month ago, President Roosevelt said:
81 ask especially that state SHALL by law or
otherwise, authorize the return of the saloon
either in its old form in some modern gulse'
Supporters of a so-called local option plan TO:
the control of liquor in this state should bear IN
mind that they advocating proposal to allow
any county that so desires, to violate the Demo-
cratic platform as regards saloons, and the ex-
pressed wish of the President himself, as mentioned
above. The enactment of local option policy
would create an unwholesome condition in the
state; our modern means of transportation have
wiped out the barriers that distance alone provided
in years gone by. An oasis in any county adjon-
ing this could be reached in a few minutes, and
would defeat the wishes of the majority of the
people of Anderson, who do not want unrestricted
sale of Intoxicating beverages
The legislature confident, will see the
unsoundness of such proposals for this state.-Ihe

IKE WALTON ON ECONOMIC AND
SOCIAL FUNDAMENTALS

Uncle Ike Walton must be an American
The Times-News hesitates to call mini
an hundred per cent. American because
Of diSparaging implicatiOns-We would
suggest that he is hundred per cent
Democrat, if anyone knows what IS, o.
where is, a Democrat nowadays, but the
vast uncertainty in this connection would
not aid in identifying him-sO we Will
write Uncle Ike down as a good North
American, patriotic citizen Of the United
States-and proceed with comment on his
platform of AmericaniSm offered as So
luton of the problems of poverty and IN
efficiency.
Uncle Ike presents fivc-point platform.
1t is an encouraging and inspiring plat
form, because it proves that we still have
people in this country who are thinking
according to fundamental Standards-not
the alleged principles of the tickle multi
tude, but the basic principles of the ages.
The first plank in Uncle Ike's platform
is ga Home for Every Family" In the alb
sence of Interpretation Of this plank, The
Times-News is certain that Uncle Ike be-
lieveS in home-Ownership and IN the social
system that has its foundations in family
life. We believe his ideas and ideals are
those presented to mankind in an old, old
book, with which a decreasing number of
citizens of this country are familiar.
The second plank of Uncle Ike's plat
form is "Chufches Consolidated and Chris
tianized'; the third is SCHOOLS Radically
Reorganized," and the fourth is Employ
ment Guaranteed or Enforced" The Times
News would not spoil any of these plankS
. by placing its own Interpretation upon
them in, advance of The Fisherman's-and
he has promised this newspaper to write
again on this subject.
80 The fifth plank in this platform is Gov
Fernment Confined to Police and Regulatory
Functions" This is truly fundamental
'Sjrinciple; but, of course, Uncle Ike and
The Times-News are fully aware of the d.
'YaFgence of present-day views on this sub
I 5est. We hope Uncle Ike will write at least
.SeYeral columns on this fifth plank of his
platform not forgetting that he has prom
Used to Introduce five additional points into
the discussion at later date.
A platform Of economic and social prin-
ciples that is based on family life and
home-Ownership, and which includes reli-
'gfbn and education and the basic principle
OF. employment for all, and has as it's cap
stone the combining of civil government to
its proper sphere and functions, supplies
food for discussion that will last for a long
time and that will be vitality stimulating to
headers of The Times-News. We hope
readers of the paper will give close atten-
ton to the forthcoming articles By The
Fisherman.

CONSTITUTIONAL CAPERS

Seven score and seven years ago our fOretatherS
brought upon this continent new constitution
conceived with the idea of placing bit on spirited
state legislatures which at that time were feeling
their oats and the delights of freedom from royal
restraint. At the inSistence of debt-ridden farm
ers, class which seems to have been with us then
now, the states were issuing paper money m
large quantities. making it easier to settle with
creditor Obligations matured yet 'ere declare1
not to have matured here and there 1t was decreed
that land-poor planters might meet their notes pay
able in land or in kind.
To Madison, Washington, Hamilton Morris and
the other men of means who forcfathered our con-
stiution it was apparent that the sanctty of con-
tracts and the invoabiity of property were threat
ened that the revolution which had been fought
against British oppression about to degenerate
into a rebellion against the vested interests
Promptly (and who is to say not wiSelyO there
was inserted in the constitution the clause which
specifies that
''No state shall coin money . making any
thing but gold and silver coin tender in pay
ment OF debts pass any law lmpaflng
the obligation of contracts
Now in this year of 1894 A. D. it has been
decreed by the supreme court which the self-same
forefathers established that a state does have the
right to suspend provisions of contracts if the
emergency impes it. Specifically upheld was the
action of Minnesota in extending the time in which
mortgaged property sold under foreclosure rights
might be redeemed, Chief Justice Hughes deliver
ing the opinion that shrinkage in land values and
the refusal of banks to lend money on mortgages
justified the unusual statute.
What large conclusions to draw from this coun-
tenancing of a deliberate violation of cOnstitu-
tional provision we know not. Perhaps it is suf-
cient to ask In time of stress what is 147-year-
old prescription between friends?-The Charlotte
News.

ARTIST SHOWED
 LOVE OF MOTHER
Reflection Shown in POr= trait of "The Lords
 Last Supper"

Chicago (UP)-The love of a young Armenian artist for his mother is reflected in the portray al of "The Lords Last Supper" a mother-of-pearl carving on display in the Hall of Religion at the Worlds Fair.
 The material used in the work is obtainable only in a shark-infest- ed portion of the Red Sea. Started 1 by Ivaz Khan Beyian in 1735, it took 27 years to complete the | masterpiece.
 Blindness, brought on by the minute detail work necessary for the portrayal, came to the artist just 65 days after the finished mas terpiece was presented to his mother.
 As a constant reminder of Ivaz' great love for his mother, the work had been zealously guarded by the original family and handed down to succeeding generations, until in 1901 it was stolen by the Turks during an invasion of the village where the Khan Beyian family i dwelt
 For many years the family searched for the masterpiece. One of the sons. John Korenian, left the native country in 1911 and continued the quest. In 1929 he succeeded in locating and recov- erinG the heirloom, but the dia- monds and rubies which formerly ornamensd the pearl classic were missing.

I don't know-it seems very unlikely, but-what ii Jane should want to take her again, when she knows we have a child of our own?"
 What made you think of that :! Why should she want Nancy more than she did before?'
 "Jane has queer ideas, she's not like anyone else"
 II don't believe she's queer enough to want to take on the re- sponsibility of youngster Nancy s age. And she couldn't do it with out giving a reason. She'd know it would make people suspect that she's 'Nancys real mother and she'd avoid that at any cost. She certainly hasn't shown ay affection for Nancy nor any interest either, since the first time. How did you get such a notion?"
 T don't know There's no spe- cial reason for it. I've been hop ing that she'd come on to see Miss Rosa before you left, and maybe we'd be able to find out, together. if she should take it into her head to do anything. She was to come sometime during the holidays, but she's not arrived so far or Mary would have spoken about it. Mary goes to Miss Rosa's every day or two, for meetings and things, and they're friendly, you know" Well, don't worry about it any more, darling. We'll ask Mother if Jane's coming, and if she is we'll see her and get line on her. I'll deal with Miss Jane if she starts any funny business"
 Tt makes me more easy just to have talked about it. Honestly I don't know why I thought about it at all, except that somehow a vitally important, terribly precious. And whenever I look at Nancy I begin wondering again if Jane could do without her, or whether she mightn't think this was a good time to get her back, that we wouldn't protest"
 But you wouldn't give Nancy back to her. would you?' 1T don't kow She is Nancy s mother, and if I believed she could feel about Nancy as I do toward our son-no, 1 don't know"
 Tt would be a pretty poor look out for Nancy to be handed over to that neurotic egotist. I'd never | consent to 1t, l can tell you that. Throwing her to the wolves, it seems to me-" He was thoroughly reused. I'm going to telephone Miss Rosa tonight as soon as we get home-no, we'll stop in on our way. She's been raging at me for not making speech before her little band of hopeful knitters or bandase rollers or whatnot, and I'll say came to smooth her down. l want this thing settled"
 You needn't be so defiant. l wouldn't give Nancy up to Jane unless l was sure that Jane would love her, really love her" Then Nancys ours forever, Jane never loved anyone but herself and never will"
 Jane loved you" sprang into Amy's thoughts, but she did not utter it.

HOW PEOPLE DROWN.

It is possible for person to drown in a quart basin of water. Drowning is asphyxial death. Only enough water to cover mouth and nostrils is necessary.
 In some cases of drowning death is due to shock or to injury of the brain by striking the head on bot tom or on some object. When person falls into the water he usually rises to the sur face, due to the natural buoyancy of the body, and begins to struggle to save himself. He makes violent attempts to breathe and perhaps in sales a little water which in- creases the difficult of breathing. Or he swallows some water and if a little goes down the wrong way" that is, enters the larynx, it irritates the lS:yngeal mucous mebbrane and causes choking and gasping. The presence of a little water in the larynX acts just as any foreign body does that is accid- entally inhaled. One effect is in- hibition of respiration.
 Thus person may die in the water although no water enters the lungs or even the bronchial tubes or the windpipe. When such death occurs, however, resuscitation IS always possible if the victim is rescued and artificial respiration immediately applied and not stop ped for moment not even to move the victim to a more suitable place.
 Another cause of inexplicable drowning popularly attributed to "cramps" is vertigo or syncope from the entrance of cold water through perforation in the ear drum.
 In the last stage of asphyxia convulsive movements occur. with automatic respiratory efforts which cause water to be drawn into the bronchi and a characteristic bal. looriing of the air vesicles. Patho- logists regard this as indicative of death by drowning.
 The heart always cont'~"es to beat after respiration P sed, especially the right 2 Of course this is favorable sci tation.
 The presence of foam at the nose IS not typical of drowning, as the same sign may be noted where death has occurred from pulmon- ary edema, which is not an un- common terminal condition in various advanced chronic diseases The presence of water in the stomach is an important sign of drowning, but this sign is not of much value if the victim has been drinking before the accident or if he has had a hearty meal. When the death is due to the choking produced by entrance of few drops of water into the larynx the signs are quite the same as would be noted in a case of sudden death from choking on piece of meat or other foreign body that happens to lodge in the larynx.
 The left side of the heart con- tains more sodium chloride than the right of the heart, if the per son has drowned in salt water and inhaled considerable water. On the
