VIRGINIA TO BE ENvIED.

In view of the fact that both the

virginia declared themselves in favor
Of local option a. to the sale of IL

prohibitory law without previous in
struction by the people, I should veto

such circumstances and conditions as
to satisfy me that the will OF the peo-
pie had been clearly and fairly express
ed. and should a Legislature so elected
pass a bill clearly responsive to the
widespread demand of the people ex-
pressed at the polls should
feel obliged to sign such bill.
This is all in reference to statutory
prohibition. and it will be seen that ap-
prevail of such an act Of the LeRisla-
ture would depend upon the election
of a majority OF the Legislature pledg-
ed thereto. This ought to be salts
factory to all concerned.
In Alabama we had no declarations
from candidates for Governor In 1905
except for local option and the voters
never dreamed that such violent legis-
lation as has since been enacted would
be forced upon them. Governor Co.
mer himself was conspicuous for his
local option declarations. especially i'll
his canvass in Mobile county We
hope the people OF Virginia will not
be brought face to face with such con-
ditions as have been forced upon Ala
bamians by the ambition Of Governor
Conner to get to the United States
Senate and the working OF the Anti
Saloon League. which Is seeking to
become the dictator of Alabama poll
tics. The local option that was in
force was set aside and statutory pro-
hibition forced upon the people bv
Legislature which was not elected on
any such issue. In addition to that
the Constitution must be changed so as
to put it where the people cannot reach
1t. Verify the people Of Virginia are to
be envied because they will be allowed
to say whether or not they want to
elect Legislature for local option or
prohibition.

NOT SATISFACTORY.

The New Bedford Standard is one of
poraries that has all along found it
dificult to feel any degree OF patience
towards the tariff revisionists of its
party, or to support their action. In
a recent issue it quotes from one of
its Massachusetts contemporaries to
the effect that the sop to American
consumer in the wav OF free hides will
not reduce the prices of shoes. because
most of the leather used in this coun-
try is obtained from the Packers. which
It calls zone of the Rreediest trusts in
existence" and which will still be able
10 control prices as 1t has been doing.
Commenting on this. The Standard
says:
Thus one by one disappears the
hopes that with revision downward of
shoes, the prices OF footwear to the
Ultimate Consumer would be lessened.
1t may be said, OF course-and proha-
bly, will be said with some truth-that
but for the reductions the prices would
have been still higher. But no such
argument Will carry much weight with
scores Of people. Many will say-and
exactly what can be said in reply?-
that here was a great contest for free
hides on the plea that free hides would
be for the benefit Of the people. and
that no visible benefit accrues. What
then. will be the next question, is to
be hoped for from Other revisions
downward? Admitting, as must be ad-
mitted. that this is not the whole case.
the situation Is going to be a difhcuIt
one for tariff revisionists to deal with.
Thus zone bv one the roses fall"
and thus fall the hopes OF those who
had been led to hope and believe that
the American people would be able to
get cheaper shoes under the new tar
if. There seems no probability Of low
or prices of footwear In this country
as long as a protected trust can die
tate the prices. In fact. the Massa
chusetts paper from which The stand.
ard quoted gives 1t as its judgment
that prices may be expected to go
higher unless the trusts can be curbed
or put out of business II this is true
It is apparent that even the small sop
that was given the people in the shape
Of free hides will not benefit them any
The Standard is disguised at this
showing. because it, in common with
most other New England papers. want
