The United States is rapidly becoming a
nation of beer drinkers, and. paradoNical
as it may seem, that does not necessarily
mean that drunkenness is ON the increase.
Norfolk Virginian-Pilot.
There will surely be a decrease in
drunkenness in proportion as men quit
drinking whiskey and take beer instead.

The LEGISLATURE.

Portsmouth Star: The new Constitu-
ton has been the law Of the land but q
few weeks. Within so short time the
members Of the Legislature could not
familiarize themselves with that instru-
ment, hence they We're in no condition to
originate laws in conformity to the Con-
stitution or to pass on those submitted
to them by a commission. The new Con-
stitution must be Studied by the mem
bers of the Legislature before they are
competent to enact a body Of law pur-
suant to the requirements Of the present
Constitution. Moreover. it cannot be de-
MED that the corporation lawyers were
suspiciously persistent in urging the crea-
ton Of the commission. That fact, in
itself. afforded ample ground for max
ing haste slowly in SO important a mat
ter as new and untried legislation. In
this connection it is significant, we think,
that the Legislature should have refused,
by so large a majority in both branches,
the proposal to commit to a commission
the duty directly imposed upon it by the
people. Even the Legislature Of Virginia
can sometimes do tho right thing at the
right time.

'.The game of policy. is one of the most
pernicious evils in this country. Where
one man wins a thousand lose. Some
workingmen no sooner are paid their
weeks wages, than they are off to the
poncy shops. Boys not out Of their teens
frequent the hell holes and wager their
last cent on the numbered slips and the
drawings. The policy evil exists to-day
in Norfolk to a degree not exceeded IN
any city in the country. Will it be sup
pressed?"

The stanton News has no patience
with the theory that Virginia was ever
temporarily deprived of competent jurors.
It says:
ITO deny that it is now competent to
have lawful jury for the trial OF ac-
cused persons, is to deny such persons
speedy trial which is guaranteed them
by the Bill Of Rights. This shows the
absurdity to which some judges In the
State have reduced the matter, as If
the convention would in one part of the
Constitution guarantee man speedy
trial and in another make it impossible
until after the expiration of some
months, to secure a lawful jury

observed in so many cities and towns,
to refer to letter from Denman

Homestead" a household name in
America This noted author and art

love of home, writes: Il am glad to in
dorse Father Johns Medicine as a
tonic and a body builder and an an ex-
,cellent remedy for colds and lung troll
bles" The Importance of avoiding pa
tent medicines containing poisonous
nerve deadening drugs and weakening
stimulants, warrants again calling
your attentions to the fact that Father
Johns Medicine is not "a patent medi-
cine, but the prescription of an emil
nent specialist who prescribed it for
the late Rev. FIR. John O'Brien of Lo-
WELL Mass, fifty years ago, by whom it
was recommended and from whom it
derived it's name. 1t is a pure food
medicine. free from alcohol, morphine,
opium or poisonous drugs or weaken
ing stimulants in any form. 1t nour-
ishes the blood and drives out all i'm
purities. Its gentle laxative effect
strengthens the stomach and corrects
the digestion. 1t restores health and
strength to rundown systems. If your

there were more men like President

put veracity of Technology above
pride, what a season of name-changing
there might be among the educational

The example of such a sensible
change was set, few years ago. by a

proprate name of Colby University"
and wisely decided to become again
Colby College" There are only half
score or so of real universities in the
country, but there are several hundred
institutions which bear the name,
making an unnecessary confusion in
the public mind. 1t is a craze for
high sounding nomenclature which is a
false pretence and something I'M
worthy of the educational world. Many
