bility that the coming session of

A Suggestion.

Our Legislature will meet early
In January, and the most absorbing
topic when it does meet will be
Statewide Prohibition. This has
already been announced. The poll
ticans behind that move are active.
and Notwithstanding the awful
knockout they got in Alabama they
are going to Richmond full of fight
and properly inflated.
1t has been announced by some
who are high in authority and no
doubt fully prepared to speak on
that subject, that there will be no
Statewide bill passed this season.
1t would seem, however, that some
thing will be done, just what we
are not advised.
Now we want TO make a sugges-
ton with reference TO the the
licensing of the liquor traffic. We
have a plan which we think Vir-
ginia ought TO try. We will not
enter into the details of of our plan
but will give the general PROPOSE
tion. Our plan Is to license no
barrOoms. License retail dealers
whose places of business shall have
no other commodity in them save
liquors, wines, etc. Let the place
be store house with shelves show
ing the different brands in bottles.
jugs. or other receptacle, a State
revenue stamp TO be placed thereon.
the State TO get half. the munich
pality the other half of the revenue.
This stamp to be torn when the
bottle is opened and such other
safeguards to be placed about the
stamp as to insure that 1t cannot
be used a second time. Every half
pint to have on it q cents, pint
cents, and so on. No seats to be
in the store for loafers or lOungers.
and no bottle to be opened there,
under penalty of forfeiture of
license and fine. Make the sale a
cold proposition of the purchaser
walking in, getting his liquor and
walking out. No quantity above q
gallon TO be sold to any one person
at one time. When shipped by
express or other, means, the guam.
tity shall not exceed five gallons al
3 time, the stamps to be safe,
guarded by proper provisions as tC

and municipality may get theil

If such a plan in general should
be adopted, we believe it would
