SALOONS RESTRICTED

Danville, after two years of
local option, recently voted back
the saloon. The majority was
small, but the change from "dry"
to "wet" indicates that public
sentiment was not sufficiently
strong to uphold local option. Now
that saloons are to be In operation
again, the city council has adopt
ed restrictive measures for the
regulation of the traffic. All sa-
looms are required to do business
in the open. Blinds, screens, or
other distractions of any nature
are prohibited, and the opening
and closing hours are fixed at o a.
m. and 2 p. In. No entrances to a
saloon except the front door are
allowed, and no one is permitted
in bar after closing hours.
The council recognizes the right
of wife or mother to forbid bar
keeper from selling her inebriate
husband or son intoxicants. 1t 10
also made a violation of the law
for any one to purchase intOxi-
cants for inebriates or minors. A
heavy punishment and forfeiture
of license is fixed for any VIOLA
tion of these ordinances.
Considerable opposition is ex-
pressed at the action of the cOun-
Gil. The majority of that body
is composed of men favoring local
option, and persons favoring sa-
looms claim that the wishes of the
people in favor of saloons, as ex'
pressed at the polls, have not been
carried out.

Mr.. Swanson, in one of his
speeches referring to Judge Lewis
action in 1875 in bringing United
States soldiers to Petersburg for
the purpose of controlling the cleo
tien in that city, declared that
Judge Lewis had violated the Uni
ted States constitution, that a
man who would violate the con-
stitution in 1879 would not hest
tate to do so again and such was
not a fit person to be Governor of
Virginia.

Mr.. Flood to Stay in Congress

Mr.. Flood to Stay in Congress
With reference to the report Of
Representative H. d. Floods as
piraticn to become candidate fer
the Governorship in 1909, dis
patch from Washington says:
A man who is possibly closer to
Representative Flood than any
other in Virginia is, said to-day
that there was no truth in the re-
port that the Tenth District re-
preventative would he a candidate
for the gubernatorial nomination
four years hence. The report has
been widely published that Mr..
Flood would aspire to the chair
Of the chief executive of the Com
mOnwealth. He has no such am
bition at present. 1t is possible
that he nay some day desire to 60
to live in the executive mansion ct
Richmond, but just now ne is con-
tented to remain in the House of
Representatives as the men Der
from the Tenth Virginia district.
1t is probable an effort will he
made to induce Mr. Flood to accept
the Craftsmanship of the Demo.
cratic National Congressional
Committee. A Democrat said
to-day he did not know a member
of Congress so we'll fitted for the
place and expressed the wish that
the Virginia represe NATIVE would
accept 1T and allow his friends to
see that he was offered it.
In case of Democratic success
in the country, resulting in con-
troll of the House of Representa-
tives, the position of chairman of
the committee that had won The
victory would give Mr.. Flood
position of great Importance on
the floor of the House.
