A mAN OF COURAGE KISSED.

In the Baptist Association on Friday
night, Mr.. y. r. Long, delegate from
Lynchburg, had the courage to stand up
and oppose the resolution adopted by the
Association commencing the so-callcd
BarbourQuarles anti-liquor ordinance
now before tho Constitutional Convcn-
ton. Mr. Long took the position that
the Constitutional Convention was not the
proper body to deal with this question,
and while he found himself in a minority
of one, The Times thinks that he was en-
tirely right in the position which he took
We do not know him. but man Of Mr..
Longs courage is not to be Kissed.
1t is not our purpose to so into a dis
cussion of the merits or dement's of this
proposition. There is something to be
said for it and soemthing to be said
against it, but at best it is an experiment,
and we do not believe in making expert
ments with the organic law of this Stare.
We believe that the liquor traffic is a
subject for statutory regulation, and we
do not believe in trying to regulate it
this experiment should be tried in Vir-
GINA and it should prove tc be a failure,
or Objectionable to a large class of peo-
pie, it could only be changed by amend
ment Of the Constitution, and that is a
long and doubtful and difficult process.
Some of the advocates of this measure
employ as an argument in favor OF its
adoption the fact that there are laws
against crime and that nobody pretends
that such laws should be repealed be-
cause they are violated by men and wo-
men. But granting for the sake of argn-
ment that the liquor traffic is a crime, it
must be remembered that the laws
against crime are not contained in the
Constitution, but are statutory enact
mants and are changed from year to year
as circumstances may require. The
Constitution is not a CODE it is the fun
damental or organic law and deals with
principles; it is for the Legislature to
make statutory laws to carry these prin-
ciples into effect This ordinance to
regulate the liquor traffic in Virginia
seems to us to be utterly at variance
with the form and spirit Of the Consttu-
ton

We do not wonder when laws are passed
to restrain the sale of laudanum, opium

hint of it was when several carloads of

The bride is SO, which is younger than

his injury to the intelligent patrolman

cheap grades are necessarily inferior,
for, though good gum could be made

druggists generally realize the

cagO, the other day to an Inter Ocean
reporter. "They have not, however,
carried the idea very far. If each drug
store which has a fountain were sup
piled with slender line of hose,
which could be attached, many small
fires which afterwards grow to large
ones could be extinguished promptly.
An average soda fountain can force
a small stream of water ten or twelve
feet. 1t carries a pressure of 125 to
1SO pounds, which is enough for fire
extlnguishing purposes.
MANY an incipient blaze has been
extinguished by the use of a soda

the flames at the beginning. If hose
were provided, with attachments by
