We are glad to note that conserva-
tism marked the attitude of the
Anti-Saloon League at Norfolk. Il.
lie practically settled that no effort
will be made to bring about State
vide prohibition this year. To
undertake TO do so now would I'M
doubleday bring about much unnec-
essary strife and bitterness OF feeling,
while to pursue the course adopted
will undoubtedly bring about the
same results, In democratic way. in
the near future. The Virginia people
are conservative people, and they
adopts reforms, even OF moral
nature, slowly. To undertake to
change the accustomed order of
things too suddenly would, beyond
doubt, do the cause for which the
AnttSaloonisss stand q vast deal of
harm. Judge Mann also has pur-
sued a wise course in declaring for
local option instead OF Statewide
prohibition His views are not only
In harmony with those OF the Anti
Saloon League, but with Democratic
sentiment In the State.

The tremendous impetus given
to a natural taste for music by
the sale of various mechanical
contrivances for its production,
has made music more than ever
an integral part Of our every day
life. We all want to know some.
I hing about this most difficult of
all the arts. 1t is to Italy that We
trace its descent. In Italy, Grand
Opera was born and achieved it's
earliest triumphs. 1t would be
hard to find a subject Of more
interest'to the layman who likes
to hear good music, than the his
