WITH Direct Legislation in ope

WITH Direct Legislation in oper-
alton, congress and our state legis-
latures will be, in effect, merely a
committee appointed by the people
to attend to the routine business OF
government and to consider meas
ures which must be submitted to a
popular vote before being into law.
Being no longer in control of the
law-making power, the means by
which our legislators prostitute
their positions for the sake of their
own gain, congress, at least, will
become u body of statesmen, disin-
terested and full of zeal for the
public welfare-since they will have
few opportunities to become other
wise-and will cease to to be the
motley collection of politicians,
corporation lawyers, demagogues
and ward-heelers, with which we
are at present unfortunately so
familiar.

Superior Court Prohibited.

Legal circles were quite stirred
up this week over the issuance Of a
writ Of prohibition by the supreme
court in the case of John p. Clerf
and David Murray VS.. J. M. Mont
gomery and S. F. Montgomery,
prohibiting the superior court from
any further proceedings in the case.
The object of the plaintiffs was to
obtain writ of assistance to put
them in possession of Montgomery's
property as purchasers at an execu-
ton sale, and the superior court of
this county was proceeding to hear
testimony to determine whether
the writ of assistance should be is
sued, but the supreme court seemed
to take the view that any such pro-
ceeding was illegal and conse-
quently prohibited all further &C.
ton in the case.
II. j. Snively and E. Pruyn are
the attorneys for the Montgomerys
and it was through their efforts the
writ was obtained. G. B. Graves
and Miles & Warner are attorneys
for plaintiffs. This is the first time
in the history of our superior court
that "a writ of prohibition has been
issued against it out Of the supreme
court.

SOME FACTS ABOUT CRANEY'ISL-
AND AND FORT NORFOLK.

BY prominent gentleman. long idcn-
titled with the Industrial development
! and general welfare of Norfolk and the
surrounding country, the Virginian-Pi-
lot reporter is reminded that the Navy
Department offered to turn over Craney
Island to the army. to which it formerly
belonged. when the. new magazine was
established at st. Julians Creek.
Admiral Brown, who preceded Com
modore Farquhar in command of the
Norloi< navy yard took this matter up
and at the instance of the Secretary OF
the Navy, had a report on the subject
referred to the Secretary of War, who
IN turn referred the matter to General
wilson, chief engineer of the army.
General Wilson, after thorough inveS-
tlSatlon, reported that Craney Island
was useless to the War Department.
Since this report of General Wilson'S
the Navy Department has been COM
PEELED 10 maintain the place at consid-
cradle Expense for repairs. care-takng.

case to tina of Craney Island, but its
acquisition would be. in many respects.
more Important to the citizens of Nor

lent little lark it would make, for in
