The Mann Law.

Judge William Hodges Mann, tht
patron of the mann Bill" in answer
to correspondent in regard to th
workings of that measure. has prepar
ed and sent out the following:
The Mann law is an amendment to tn
general revenue law, just seven lineI
in length, and provides the method o.
securing license to sell liquor in the
country. 1t does not apply to cities
towns of over 800 inhabitants, or tt
watering places. About AZ, 900 voters
Ipetitioned the Legislature to enact the
Ilaw. The Methodist, Baptist and
IChristian churches by their officia
State bodies endorsed the law, and all
the other churches favor it. 1t was
passed by Democratic Legislature,
and signed by Democratic Governor
and will be found in the Acts of As
sembly 19023 4, page 220, lines 1919
1t became effective April 10Th, 1903
The law is not prohibitive meas
ure. 1t merely provide that before a
license to sell liquor IN the country
Can be granted, the Court must be sat
| isfied-1 That the applicant will su.
perintend the business and conduct an
orderly house.
2. That the place is one at which
police protection is afforded.
3. That a majority of the qualified
voters of the magisteri&l district favor
the sale of liquor at the place applied
for.
4. That the sale of ardent spirits at
that particular place will not be con-
trary to d sound public policy or inju-
rlous to the moral or the material in.
terests of the community.
1t does not do away with the local
option law, but supplements that law.
The social club Law is not part of
the Mann law, and I am in no way
responsible for it.
Along with the Mann law there was
an amendment to the revenue law
doubling the tax on barrooms.
The following are some of the bene-
fits which have been derived from the
law: There are 767 fewer barrooms in
Virginia than before thelaw was passed
In consequence of the increased tax
on the saloons which remain, there
has been an annual increase in the
revenue derived from liquor licenses of
a little over $107 800.
There has been a material decrease
In the criminal expenses in the district
affected by the law.
There has been a marked increase in |
the security ard prosperity Of the |
districts.
But perhaps the most significant tv-I
idence of the good accomplished by the |
law, is the fact that not "A single case |
of criminal assault upon white |
woman has been reported from the |
district covered by the Mann law since |
it became effective, nor has there been |
a single iyuching in the country dis
tricts
have not attempted to discuss the
merits of the law, but have merely |
stated few facts, which | believe the |
people should Know

PAUL JONES.
Ills last Years Were Not of Poverty
and Ohscurity,

Even Hanchette, the French
naval authority, speaks of John
Paul Jones as having died in great
wretchedness, obscure and poor. 1t
is such outrageous perversions of
truth that | have felt impelIed to
meet and combat.
After the war of the Revolution
Jones was received in LoiNlon with
the greatest distinction. The Army
and Navy club delighted to honor
him. Burke and Fox were his IA
miliars. Horace .Walpole was his
intimate friend. To them all he
was dear Paul" The only act of
piracy" ever alleged against him
was his descent upon Selkirk castle,
whence some of his men, failing to
find Lord Selkirk, carried away the
family plate. Learning of the pill
lage, Jones, Immediately after get
ting back to Brest, purchased it out
of his own pocket and returned it
to Lady Selkirk with a letter of
apology. The Selkirks thencefor-
ward were among his most ardent
admirers.
In his last illness the king Of
France sent daily to ask for his
health. Had he lived a week longer
he would have been admiral of
France. The French assembly rose
upon its feet and stood uncovered
while the resolution Of respect was
being passed He left a large sum
Of money to his two surviving sis
tiers. He died the ranking officer
of the American navy. Three weeks
after his death letters came from
Washington and Jefferson placing
our marine interests in Europe in
his hands and authorizing him to
organize an expedition to 90 after
the Barbary pirates. He stood in
the relation Of Il son to Franklin.
Of brother to Jefferson, possessing
the fullest confidence Of the Father
of His Country. Whenever he APP
pears upon the written page we see
not only naval commander, but a
statesman, his writing, in its calm
wisdom and crystal luciditv, remind
ing us of the writing of Abraham
Lincoln.
Personally he was the most capti-
waiting Of men, handsome and gen
tie. When he came back from his
wonderful sea fight the Duchess of
Orleans lodged him in the Palais
Royal. The king made him a chew
alier of France. Paris went wild.
In the court, in the highest French
society, he was literally ga bowling
