North Carolina Governor Discuss
es Prohibition Question.
Says Liquor Plays No Part in Civili

the Human Race.
ftditor Craig:
i enclose the speech of (iover
•nor < ilenn of North Carolina be
fore the Woman’s Christian Tem
perance Union assembled in con
vention in Raleigh, as printed in
the Morning Rost of October i>.
Will you please print it in res
ponse to certain articles 1 have no
ticed in your paper recently on
the prohibition question.'
Yours respectfully,
Mks. I*. G. Mawnkss.
GOV GLENN S SPEECH.
i understood, when the invita
tion was extended to me to wel
come your body to Raleigh on be
half of the state, that five minute
addresses were expected, but I
was not limited to this time. The
occasion would afford me an op
portunity to state my position to
you Christian women on the great
temperance question. 1 hat will
not require but a few minutes.
I can, in a few words, tell you
where 1 stand anti how I feel on
this subject. Whatever may have
been my acts and course in the
.past, and 1 have tried ever to be
consistent. 1 say here anil now that
the last bridge is burned behind
me and 1 stand squarely with th«
great temperance forces to drive
this hideous monster from our fair
state.
A man must take a square and
unmistakable stand for the right
or for the wrong, for righteous
ness or for evil, for happiness or
for misery, for justice or for op
pression As for me 1 am heart
and soul against the liquor traffic.
LIQ.UOR BENEFITS NO ONE SAVE
THE SELLER.
There is nothing advanced, eith
er in the industrial or the moral
sphere, by strong drink except
the liquor traffic itself. Can you
point to any benefit resulting
from the sale of liquor except to
the pocket book of the man who
engages in the traffic? 1 can see
none. The great corporations and
the business men have set their
condemnation upon those who in
dulge in strong drink. Did you
ever hear of preference being
•shown to the employe who drank?
On the other hand you have seen
instance after instance of failure
to secure employment or promo
tion because the man used liquor.
Men who indulge in anything
stronger than coffee are not em
ployed by many influential cor
porations. l)o you want a physi
cian who drinks to administer to
you or \our family? Do you want
a lawyer, who indulges in intoxi
cants, to handle your case? The
same rule applies to the other avo
cations of life. I defy anyone
here in this presence to say that
the use of strong drink adds to the
happiness of humanity or the glo
ry of God. The curse of the traf
fic casts its shadow across the lend.
Too frequently young women are
seen in restaurants partaking of
strong drink with young men.
They are playing uj>on the same
fearful road that has led thousands
to our asylums, poorhouses and
jails, to degradation and to ruin.
I say to you deliberately that
after thirty years experience as an
attorney and as a prosecuting offi
cer in the courts that I am firmly j
of the opinion that <>0 j>er cent of j
crime is directly the result of j
strong drink and 95 per cent is in
directly caused by indulgence in
strong drink. Can we then, in the
face of such an appalling array,
hesitate to say where we stand t
CHRISTIANITY AND LIQUOR
CAN’T STAND TOGETHER.
Not long since, I was making a
speech, I shall not say where, and
! 1 tried to picture the future of this
! great commonwealth. I told those
people that 1 trusted the day would
come when hooks instead of bot
tles would he in your young men's
hands, and schools and churches
instead of saloons and gambling
places would be scattered the
length and breadth of the state.
When 1 finished my speech a man
came up to me and said: ‘"Look
here, you attacked my business
today, I voted for you, blit 1 want
to say that I am sorry and 1 will
never vote for you again." 1 told
him: “Well, my friend, 1 don’t
know that I shall ever ask for
your votes again, 1 don’t know
that 1 shall be a candidate for an
other oflice, but I'll tell you that
if 1 must secure votes by stifling

my conscience then, so help me
1 God, I shall remain a private citi
zen for the rest of m.v life.” The
| man seemed indignant. “Don’t
you know that Christianity and
my business can’t stand togeth
errf” he said. “Won’t you write
that down over your own signa
ture,’’ I told him, “1 wish I had
that statement to show the people
from one end of tin* state to the
other that they might see your
own iudictmentment of the traf
fic.” Christianity and the liquor,
traffic will not stand together!

STATE PROHIBITION IS PRAC
TICAL.
iuh someone sitv s money uenv
ed from the li<]uor business is nec
essary to run the schools. I say
it is not. The schools do not de
pend on this blood money. Wipe
out the liquor business and if nec
essary the state can well afford to
increase the tax on property to
sustain the schools and save the
boys and girls of this land.
You have all heard the cry that
prohibition will not prohibit;
blind timers and all forms of un
lawful sale wil flourish. Prohibi
tion can be enforced as effectively
as other laws are. Let the officers
of the law, backed up by the mor
al sense of the community and the
co-operation of good citizens, do
their duty, let the men who break
the law be sentenced to the roads
and let no governor grant them a
pardon and you will have prohibi
tion in full force.
1 have seen prohibition that aid
prohibit. 1 have just returned
from the New Key land states, the
home of prohioiiion. and 1 tell
you that from my observation and
inquiry prohioi’.ion is a success. 1
traveled thou-auds of miles, visit
ed the fairs in those states, and in
all that journey I never saw hut
three intoxicated men. On the
other hand, abstinence from drink
is the rule among those people. 1
saw them tested. 1 saw fourteen
young men, strong, healthy and
prosperous, offered on one occa
