THE SUPREME COURTS DECISION
CONCERNING "NEAR- BEER"

The Virginia Supreme Court OF APP
ne,,s has affirmed the constitutional
ity of that part of the Byrd liquor law
which borhids the sale OF "near-peer
nv retail dealers and restricts the
sale of that product by manufacturers.
The courts opinion was handed down
IN the case of Winchester man VINO
was fined $500 by a magistrate Tor
selling near beer" and who. aiter
noting an appeal, secured, through
his attorneys, a writ OF habeas cor
ms from the Corporation Court OF
WINCHESTER. the court holding That
the section of the Byrd law In ques-
ton violated the constitution in that
II made unconstitutional preference as
10 who might handle malt beverages
and also because the section was TOO
vague to be enforced.
The Court CT Appeals reverses TINS
opinion, deciding that the questioned
seetion Ct the law is constitutional. "A
SIMILAR opinion is given in a case
send IN from Giles county.
This decision OF the highest court
In the State is victory for law ana
order and will be so regarded not
only by the advocates OF pronipitioh'
hut by all good citizens who iavor
enforcement OF the law. III the
retail rs were allowed to sell near
beer" the word prohibition would
come to be as much of a joke In VIZ
sin;a as il is in certain sections OF
Georgia today. In Savannah, 1t Is
said ..near-beer' means anything
from niger gin TO champagne, and
this probably Is the case everywhere
.uesr-beer" is sold at retail. Nobody
wants to drink ''near-beer," as far
as we have been able TO learn. ana
when a retailer Of the beverage is
able &c pay expenses tsst II prina
facie evidence that he is selling some
thing nearer"
The decision is Of no especial I'M
pcrtance in Newport News or in any
ether city or town where the sale OF
liquor Is licensed. There Is no use
calling It near beer" when the law
permits the sale Of the real thing
But in the dry" counties and cities
tao ability of the authorities 70 en-
fierce the provisions Of the Byrd law
means a great deal Il means that
except In communities where there
is 4. vory strong sentiment against
enforced drought the sale CT liquor
practically viii be stopped II is al
most universally admitted that exec
tive prohibition is desirable in cosn-
Try dirtricts without police protection,
therefore the saprtme Courts 6ecis-
Ion should please the general pubiic.

ol a horse aS of man that he will not

one to which he is attached. This is
the reason Il balky horse is apt to re-
fuse to pun very light load. He has
no way of estimating his load but
ny pulling upon it. Hitch Il horse to
very heavy load, let him pull upon
it, then transfer him to any empty
wagon and start him. You will see
him gather himself for heavy pull.
He has in mind the heavy load.

Of scouting has since been shown by
the admissions of Confederate signal

The new order calls to mind the re-
