A QUESTION ANSWERED.

The Pilot yesterday opened its cnouth
and answered the query of The Viz
ginian. whether there would be q Pro
hihition tickle: in the field I'm line Nav
election. 1t says: THE Prohibition Re.
form party will nominate a Prohibition
REFORM ticket in Norfolk this spring
and II will be done by n delegated CON
vention."
NOW that 1t has at last been able to
answer one query, will II answer an
other important one that The Virgin
IAN hos repeated time ane again with
out securing straight reply TO. viz.
"Will the voters who constitute the Pro-
hibition party of Norfolk have nm on.
por'uhity of expressing their choice for
the general Offices and Council ticket? 2"
Inc Pilot states that the nomlna ton
Of the Prohibition Reform ticket Will
be done by 4 delegated convention
TINS being the case, how Will the dele
gates be selected. Will they be voted
Tor by the Prohihition-Reform voters at
public meetings. or will a Ring OF a
few chosen leaders of the, Prohibition
Executive Committee name the dele
gates, who will. under the Instructions
of boss or the Ring nominate the
officers and select the nominees for the
Council?"
To nominate in this manner would of
necessity demonstrate the existence of
Ring" In charge of the Prohibition
Reform organization. and this would
never do. In the language of the Pilot
of Yesterday. the selection Of a ticket
in this manner. the putting up and
turning down" by any Boss" or
Ring" or committee sag" Is "a
stretch OF tyranny and bosslsm that
even those in the thcalls of the Ring
find it difficult 10 submit it,

mating convention be selected? VIII

WHAT is WAR.

Inc people jhave become so accustom-
ed to hearing Congressman talk of war
of late, that 1T is beginning to lose some
OF Its dread Significance. AS Il rule
men who talk war most are those who
know little of it's horrors. and there
are those who care less about It's re-
suits, because they feel perfectly safe
from Its dangers
War at any time and under any cir
cumstances Is to be deplored-lt is the
most dreadfuf enterprise In which ma
lions can engage-and yet we hear men
who should know better speak of It as
If II were a mere past time. 1t is some
thing which should be avoided. If posi-
ble,and IS an affilction which no man has
right to invite. Yet there are those
who say they would like 10 see war
between the United States and some
| foreign nation, because. as they say.
It would do this country good Surely
such people have not counted the cost
They seemingly forget that war means
death and agony-starvation and MUIR
der-and that sorrow and disolati6n is
| the legacy which II beoueaths to the
widow and the orphan. A nation may
be tryumphant In war. but 1t fills the
| asylums: 1t Kills thousands of Gods
creatures, and sends back to happy
homes the maSned and the wounded
Ruin Alls its pathway. and there is no
| rccompense. If the results OF any very
great war could be crowded in one chap
| ter what story 1t would unfold. OF
course there are circumstances under
which war is inevitable. but no man
| has right to invite il.
