IRISH ACTOR IN AMERICA.

PHILADELPHIA. Nov. 12.-Joseph
o'Mara. the famous Irish actor and
singer, began his first American tour
at the Walnut Street Theater this
week and if the ovation he is being
given in the Quaker City is repeated
in other places, he will not have cause
to regret his visit to Uncle Sans land.
Mr.. o'Mara made his initial American
appearance in Patrick Bidwells TO.

titled Peggy Machree." Dramatic
critics are agreed that o'Mara Is the
theatrical Sind" OF the season. 1t is
likely that he will visit all Of the
larger cities Of the country before re-
turning to Europe.

never been sung in America before.

Easy Way to Obtain Prohibition.
Editor West Virginian:
In your ed!: rial columns of last
evening you suggest two methods OF
securing prohibition in case a two
thirds majority can net be secured in
the next Legislature for submitting a
constitutional amendment to the vot,
frs, namely; first, party cancus. anJ
second a constitutional convention.
There is an easier method than either
of them.
Sec. 46, Article 6 of our State consti>
tuition provides that Laws mzy be
raised regularly on prohibiting the
sale of intoxicating liquors within the
limits Of this State. 1t is not nzces.
sary no have an amendment to the
constitution to enable the Legislature
TO pass a law prohibiting the sale OF
Intoxicating liquors.
This constitutional provision does
not say the Legislature may pass a
law prohibiting the manufacture of in.
toxicating liQm:rs. but II the sale be
prohibited. the right to manufacture
intoxtcants in the State to be sold
out OF the State. would not be worth
much. nor would such manufacture
and sale do the people Of the State
harm. II thIa majority of tne mem.
bers should decide to give prohibition
by an act OF the Legislature. It is quite
likely the recalcitrants would readily
agree TO submit the amendment. Ky
