Negroes in the Capitol

Service was refused to Morris
Lewis and another Negro Tues
day in the public restaurant in
the Capitol in Washington.
Lewis is secretary to Oscar De-
Priest, the only Negro represen-
tative in Congress. The manager
of the restaurant, P. H. Johnson,
said that in refusing TO serve
Negroes he was acting under or
ders of Lindsay Warren, repre-
sentative from North Carolina,
who as chairman of the commit
tee on accounts has charge Of
the restaurant.
Warren confirmed Johnson's S
statement and said: THE res
taurant has never served Negro
employees (of the Government)
or -isitors, nor will it so long as
have anything to do with it"
1t seems to US that a fact
which Warren would do well to
reflect upon is that Washington
| is not North Carolina. North
Carolina recognizes a color line,
legally as well as by tradition
and majority consent. SO does
all the South. The United States
does not. The Capitol in Wash
ington is the property Of the
United States.
An attempt on the part Of the
United States government to en-
force the interningllng Of the
races in the South would be bit
terly opposed. The South may
rightly clam the privilege u
regulating it's own affairs Of this
character, but it has always
seemed to us arrogant for the
South to seek to impose its own
ideas and practices outside Of its
own territory.
Certainly the United States
government is committed to the
doctrine Of no favoritism based
on race or color, and for 1t tc
discriminate against Negroes ir
restaurant which it conducts
is utterly inconsistent with its
professions.

Drunken Drivers

A report Of the state highway
patrol shows that during Deem
Der in North Carolina 131 per
sons were convicted of driving
automobiles while under the in
duence Of liquor.
One Of the frequent argu-
ments advanced by the adVO-
Gates of prohibition is that the
easy procurement Ct liquor by
automobile drivers is menace
to life. The flaw in their argu-
ment lies in their assumption
that prohibition law means
prohibition. 1t is evident, and
has been 50 long time, that a
prohibition law and the easy
procurement of liquor are not IN
conflict. Market prices are
proof Of this. Liquor in North
Carolina today is three or four
times as cheap as it is in New
York.
Those who are asked TO believe
that the record of the conviction
of 131 drunken drivers strength
ems the cause of prohibition
may properly be reminded of
the fact that, as far as the sta
tute books are concerned, pro-
hibition was al full effect in
North Carolina in the month of
December 1888. The contention
NAV be made that if there had
been no prohibition law the
number of drunken drivers
would have been still larger.
This may or may not be true.
Nobody knows. At least it is
open to doubt. When liquor is
selling for So gallon, and
sometimes for less, and can be
obtained with ease anywhere in
the state, why assume that un-
der a system of legalized and
regulated sale there would be
more excessive drinking than
there is now?

A Sensible Provision

A sensible provision in the
new liquor tax law, passed by
Congress and signed by the
President last week, is that
which amends the Reed law Of
1917 50 as 10 permit newspapers
and periodicals carrying liquor
advertisements to circulate in
dry states.
Since the repeal Of the 18th
Amendment became effective
publishers have been compelled
either to decline to send Their
publications into dry states, if
any Of the pages contain liquor
advertisements, or to PRINT spec
ial editions with these advertise
ments omitted. The first alter
native is unfair TO the reading
public, and the second causes un-
necessary and unreasonable IN
convenience and loss to the pub
fishers
Nothing could be more absurd
than the notion that the cause
of temperance in dry state SUI
fers from the peoples being al
lowed to read liquor advertise
ments in the newspapers Of New
York. Baltimore. Washington,
and other cities TO the north.
The only purpose Of an adVer-
tisement is to persuade the read
er to buy. The law forbids the
shipment of liquor from wet into
dry states. But, even assuming
that there were no obstacle tC
the shipment, why should q
North CarOlinian want to order

An Adventure in Dunn

Two young men recently out
of the University, H. g. Thigh
man and +. c. Daniel, Jr., estab-
| Iished a daily paper in Dunn a
few months ago
It was sh0cstring enterprise.
| All the capital they had was
their energy and enthusiasm.
| Of course their prudent ac-
quaintances told them they were
doing foolish thing to launch
a daily in town Of the size of
Dunn. Prudent acquaintances
always give such advice to
youngsters with a daring idea,
and the reason the world moves
ahead is that rolllcking and
hopeful youth, disregarding the
| heavy chances against 1t, de-
clines to listen to the voice of
caution.
The fruit Of the venturesome
spirit of Tilghman and Daniel is
the Daily Bulletin, published
every afternoon for Dunn and
the neighboring town Of Erwin.
1t is a four-page sheet in tabloid
form. (The word tabloid here
has its original meaning of
small, compact, not the meaning
that it has come to have in con-
nection with lurid crime and sex
stories). The Bulletin presents
the news of the two cOmmun-
iities in a concise and lively man.
ner; it carries well-selected feat
ures from the syndicates; and
it has an editorial page reflect
ing alert and liberal minds.
Amusing whinlsicalities appear
in Daniels column, Brain
storms"
Dunn and Erwin are fortunate
to have such a paper. 1t de-
serves support, and we hope the
business concerns Of the towns
will have the good sense to keep
it decently nourished with ad-
vertising.

| no public machinery for in

The public schools should have
undertaken the business long
ago, but they have been in the
| hands Of the Prohibitionists for
a generation past, and beside,
they are stated mainly by per-
sons who can hardly pretend to
civilization. The pulpit is almost
as hopeless. It's evangelical or

more enlightened clergy have
been driven to cover by the
howls and objurgations thereof.
Nevertheless, ! cherish a
hope that some of the Episco-

brethren (to which, perhaps,
should add few superior Luth-
erans, Cnitarians, etc will be

them already carry on lnstruc-

guised) in sex hygiene, and

The Dry States Should Attend
To Their Own Enforcement

have received instructions from
Washington to levy taxes on
sellers of bootleg liquor just as
though they pursued their trade
under legal sanction.
How Mr.. Robertson is going
to perform this task is not dis
closed The published articles
relative to the matter do not say
that the personnel Of his Office
has been augmented for the
purpose, and yet it is plain that
the imposition Of taxes upon the
states bootleggers would re-
quire the services Of any army
Of snoopers And is not the
wholesale shopping by federal
officers just what the people Of
the United States expected TO
get rid Of when they voted for
the repeal Of the 18th Amend
ment?
Moreover. it would seem that
the federal government, If 1t
collected taxes on liquor in North
Carolina, would be conniving, in
a sort of fashion, at the viola
ton Of the states prohibition
law.
Of course a b0otlegger doing
a big business in any commun-
itv is too we'll known to avoid
detection # "a real effort is made
to apprehend him, and the fed
eral agents would have little
difficulty in procuring evidence
Of his sales Suppose they de-
manded from him the $2-a-gallon
tax and suppose he, IN order to
escape federal prosecution, com
piled with the demand? The
federal government would then
have conclusive proof that the
man had violated the state law.
Would the payment Of the gallon
tax be confidential transaction
Gas income tax payments are,
under the present law or
would the federal government
be under the obligation to pre-
sent the proof TO the nearest
sheriff or chief Of police?
If the latter course were tax
en-, the government would be
cutting off a source ot revenue
and thereby defeating the very
purpose for which it moved
against the man in the first
place. In that case 1t would be
helping to enforce prohibition,
and certainly the people OF the
nation as a whole. having voted
the 18th Amendment out OF the
Constitution, do not favor the
spending of federal money tor
the employment of thousands OF
agents-and it would take thol-
sands-to enforce state prohlbl-
tion laws.
while Uncle Sam may have
treated the prohibition law with
minimized respect" says the
Durham Herald, ''he usually pro
ceeds with firm hand when
law enforcement means more
money in the public treasury"
1t might mean more money
coming into the treasury, but
it is doubtful if the money COM
ing in would exceed that gong
out; for collecting taxes on IL
legal liquor would be very ex-
pensive enterprise. Slzable
sums might be received from big
shots among the bootleggers,
but the driblets of revenue from
the small fry would probably
fall far short Of the staggering
outlay that would be necessary
to maintain snoOping and
collecting force over all the vast
area of the dry states.

ought to spare no effort to pre-
vent the importation of untaxed
