ARGUMENT AGAINST CoNvEN-
TON NOT SOUND.

The argument against the holding
of Democratic state convention for
the purpose of having the party take
definite stand for or against state
wide prohibition. based on the con-
tention that prohibition is a moral Is
sue and that to have the party go on
record would drive one of two oppos-
ing elements out, is not sound. Tenn
perance is moral issue, but statu-
tory prohibition is not. When preach
ers and others preach temperance or
abstinence from the pulpit. in the
homes or on the hastings, political
parties have nothing to do with the
matter. But when the enactment Of
certain legislation Is demanded by any
considerable element or faction OF the
people. the political party dominating
the affairs of the state and respcn-
sible for legislation and administra
ton ought to be very much concern
ed indeed.
The active heads OF the Anti-sa-
loon League OF Virginia have issued
statement in which they accuse the
State general assembly. overwheim-
ingly Democratic, of betraying its
trrst because IL refused to adopt a
measure authorizing vote of the
people on the question of whether or
not Virginia shall have statewide pro-
hibit;on. Furthermore, the statement
calls upon all adherents of the league
TO vote in the next legislative cleo
tion. without regard TO party affiiia-
tons. for men who are sound" on
this question-specificsll to vote
Tor a candidate who will declare
openly for statewide prohibition.
whether that candidate be Democrat,
Republican. Socialist or independent
And as the league leaders are honor
able men who would not advise any
one to do a deliberate wrong. they
must mean to demand that their ad-
bereDts refrain from participation in
Democratic primaries. For the voter
who participates in q primary rs
bound morally. at least. to cast his
vote for the nominee In the general
election. whether Of net the nominee
is a prohibitionist.
So. besides believing that IL is
the duty of the Democratic party TO
take an open and firm stand upon any
question involving legislation. this
paper fails to see that there is ground
from the standpoint of pariizan poll
tics for seeking to avoid a convention.
n Mr.. Cannon, Dr. McAlister and
their followers are going TO stay out
OF Democratic primaries in order TO
be free to vote for whom they choose
resardless OF political Affiliations.

ously injured Thursday afternoon when

where he was taken following the ac-
cident According to late reports the
attorney is resting easily and will be
taken to his residence at 1880 Harvard

that this would not be necessary. He
suffered a compound fracture of the
right leg.

yers in the country. He was justice

FAVOR INCREASE
IN PACIFIC FLEET
Secretary of Navy Much in SYM
pathy with Idea of Rear
Admiral Evans
Associated PressJ

SAN DIEGO, Sept. 23.-Naval men
generally, and Secretary of the Navy
Meyer, particularly, are much in SYM
pathy with Rear Admiral Evans dec
laration in favor of a big Pacific feet,
according to a special from Washing
ton in the Union this morning.
The special says they want to see the
new fleet provided for by additions to
the navy and not by a division of the
present force. Senator Perkins, chair
man Of the senate naval affairs COM
mittee, is quoted as being strongly In
favor of big Pacific fleet. officers
of the navy now in Washington refuse
to be quoted, but they claim that Pres
ident Taft and Secretary Meyer are
FOR more battleships, and that when
they are granted there is no Doubt
that the Pacific coast will be given q
strong fleet. The special says Secre-
tary Meyer came out definitely In a
public speech in Boston as being IN
favor Of two fleets one for the Atlantic
and one for the Pacific. He said:
"The really effective and honorable
method of avoiding war is to be pre-
pared for war by the possession OF an
efficient, up-to-date and thoroughly
equipped feet Of battleships, both on
the Atlantic and the Pacific oceans.
Our naval armament should be so pro-
vided that eventually we shall have a
force of battleships in each ocean
equivalent to that which we now have
in the Atlantic"

PEARY'S SHIP MAY SERVE
IN RAISING SUNKEN MAINE
Owner ArbuckIe Also Considers
Plan for Floating Hotel

NEW YORK, Sept. 2S.-The ship
Roosevelt, In which Peary went to the
Arctic regions on his way to the north
pole, has been bought by John Ar
buckle, of this city. Ultimately she viii
be used in connection with Mr.. Ar
buckles charities for working men and
women. He was the originator of the
Floating hoter' for persons not able to
pay the average rates for board and
lodging.
The Roosevelt may, however, see
more active and honorable service by
retiring to the placid career Of float
ing lodging house or hospital. Mr.. Ar
buckle hopes to secure the contract
for raising the battleship Maine and II
successful he will make the Roosevelt
flagship of the little fleet of vessels
which will undertake the task of SAL
wage.
SThe RooseVelt's hardships in the
far north" said Mr.. Arbuckle, "have
proved to me the vessels capabilities
and staunchness. / can conceive Of no
other ship which would approach her
for this work. I wanted the best
wrecking boat in the world and I have
got it, one which combines tremendous
strength and power and seaworthiness
of the highest class"
