Editor OF The Times Dispatch:
Sir,-ln your issue of SATURDAY last.
you set forth at great length Your.
reasons why the Legislature should
not pass the STROBE bill to enable the
voters of this state to decide
whether or not the liquor business
shall continue TO be licensed and the
proceeds of such license covered into
the public treasury. II The Times
Dispatch did not profess to be q Demo-
cratic paper, or If 1t were published

ralism is professedly followed simply

would be thought of your attitude in
this matter. But being professedly

Believing that you are measurably
sincere in your position, however. and
that you are willing to make yourself
perfectly plain. and do not fear any
antagonist on this subject. beg to
ask YOU the following questions. which
l doubt not you will be glad to an
swer to my entire confusion.
1. Did not the Constitutional Con-
vention provide for just such an issue
as is now sought to be raised by the
STROBE bill. having this very subject
under considerations?
9. Have the people of this State
the legal voters-any rights to act or
seek legislation, supposed to be bene-
ficial to them, outside of their capacity
as an organized political party?
3. Is licensing the saloon better
way to Danish it than TO prohibit It?
A. Has there been any evidence Of
bitter struggle in this State on this
question. so far developed save that
made BY The Tlmes-Dispatch, the
News Leader and the Richmond Even
ing Journal?
5. Can you give any reliable evi-
dence that state prohibition has been
u failure anywhcrc, evidence on which
you would be willing to stake tho
veracity OF your paper?
s. Ii arguing against prohibition and
in favor of licensing OF saloons, and
advertising whiskey and beer in your
columns with the same force and app
proval that you advertise the recog-
nized useful necessities Of life do

please state what In Your Judgment
does constitute a Whiskey newspaper?
