The Times Herald Is opposed to
Statewide prohibition. but II has held
and still holds that the people should
he given the right to vote on the
question
There is abundant evidence that
an overwhelming majority OF the peo-
nile desire and demand that such an
opportunity be given them, and the
will of the people Is law.
The democratic party will be held
rosnonsible for the defeat OF the
strobe bill. and that the party viii
suffer for it there can be no doubt.
To what extent, we do no; propaesy,
hut 1t may be quite as serious as
Mr.. Strobe has predicted. But the
nrohibitionists have been injudicious
in their mode of procedure and are
i'm part to blame. They have not been
content with moral suasion. They
have used threats. kilograms and
letters have poured In upon members
of the General Assembly, warning
them that IL they failed to vote Tor
the STROBE Myers bill their political
doom. was sealed. 1t Is not In the
nature of a manly man to yield 10
such threats. No self-respecting man
allows himself to be coerced. The
speech of Senator Strobe yesterday
was threat. apparently an effort at
naturalization. and Senators weuid not
stand for IL. They took him at his
WORD and called for vote. And
when the vote was taaen. they show
"a thnjr resentment by voting against
the bill.

Death of Colored Gentleman.

Nathan Moore, the honored doorkeeper of the
Westmoreand Club. born and reared a
slave, but at heart and in manners and conduct he
was true Virginia gentleman. 1t was his in
fuence and example, in great part, which made the
walters and porters of the club distinguished for
their uniform courtesy.
1t is nothing strange that Nathan Moore enjoyed
the respect and friendship of the members of the
club. 1t is nothing strange that handsome floral
design was tribute of respect when he died,
and that representative members Of the club at
tended his funeral. Nathan Moore was faithful
to his work, and with manly men, fidelity always
commands respect.

Early Easter.

The Farmville Herald. which has
its pious spells, has picked Ap from
some source the following interesting
facts about Easter:
Easter will come usually early this
year--March 81.
The earliest day upon which Eas-
ter may fall is March %, but in
period of over zoo years the condi-
lions brought upon that day but once,
in 1873. The dates have been ctrcu-
lated from 1885 to cola, both inclu-
sive, being twelve cycles of the moon
Only four times in that extended pc
Rod has Easter come as late as April
%. 1t may come as late as April 20,
as 1t did in 1886, but it will not again
strike that date until 1913. In 1871 II
occurred upon April "a. but 1t will be
the year of grace 2011 before ii is
again as late. The next early Easter
will be 1913, when ii will fall upon
March %.
tThe day for Easter is the result of
an astronomical calculation. II falls
upon the first Sunday Following lne
first full moon after the vernai eqnl-
nox. The sun crosses the spring eaui-
noctial line of March 81, II that DAY
should be n Saturday and the moon
reach the full that night, the next day,
March %, would be Easter. This oe-
rurrence of events, as stated, mas eeeh
recorded but once in calculated pc

Editor of The virginian;

Editor of The Virginian:
Sir,-I read with a great deal of
pleasure your editorial columns, and
in the main find very little which l
cannot endorse very heartily. ] really
enjoy the get-up Of your paper, and
especially the editorials. | think you
are sound to the core on most of the
subjects discussed in your excellent
paper.
Your stand for the people of Vir-
ginia on the question OF temperance
has been most admirable. But let
me warn you now that unless some
organization of the temperance peo-
pie of the State Is gotten UP we are
in very poor plight To vote on the
question of temperance. The reason
why state wide prohibition" suffer-
ed so at the hands of our Legisla-
ture was lack of organization and
education on the part of the masses
or our people.
But / am getting away from where
i started to go. The object of this
writing Is not for criticism on any
of your editorial utterances, but to
ask you a few plain questions.
Now. / see in your issue of March
5 an editorial headed Frying Into
Private Affairs" Now you say. Mr.
Editor, that certain questions, seven
in number, are to be asked by the
revenue officer of certain wealthy IN
divtduaIs or corporations in order to
get at the amount of income tax they
are to pay.
Now, why should these questions
be any more "disagreeable to a soul
less corporation" or obnoxious to
private individuals'' than the ques-
tions asked of us poor farmers every
year by our commissioner of reve-
nue.?
The office here goes to a farmer
and asks:
% How many horses have you
and value?
t2) How many cows have you and
value?
90 How many sheep have you and
value?
t4) How many hogs have YOU and
value?
| $50 How many goats have you and
/ value?
90 How many pianos have you and
/ value?
/ % How many watches and clocks
| have you and value
90 How many farm implements
/ have you and value?
Et cetera. ct C era. ad nauseam.
Now Mr. Editor, why should THESE
questions be any less obnoxious" to
the poor farmer than the questions
you mention to the rich indfviduaf
and the corporations!
We poor farmers have gotten usec
to the business, while it is something
new to the wealthy individuals" and
the corporations.
Now. let them get used to these
'inuuisitions" Like Nmas. they don
come but once year. and by anc
by they will not seem so obnoxious
No, Mr. Editor, piease don't go tt
apologizing for any law. whether fed
eral or state. that seeks to get his
part of taxation out of the wealthy
individual
/ One of the great troubles of oui
country now is that the burden oi
taxation rests mainly on the poor
while the rich pay Just as little ia,
as they possibly can. If you vii
! try and lift the burden from the
shoulders of the poor you Will soor
become the Supreme" IN Virginia.

In spite of the coercve measures, we still think
that the Richmond Fredericksburg and Potomac
Railroad Company would do well to accept the
merger act which the General Assembly has passed
and take pot luck with the other railroads of the
State. 1t has enjoyed exemption from taxation
since it was born and has been blessed, and is
blessed, with great prosperity 1t is the con-
sensus OF opinion that the road has enjoyed its
special privilege long enough and should make
gracious surrender 1t is more able, perhaps, than
any railroad corporation in the State to pay taxes.
The point was raised recently by the president. that
under existing laws. the road could not surrender
its privilege But that is no longer the case. The
way is now open. The offer has been made and
we believe that the company will be wise to accept

JURY'S VERDICT PUTS ALUM BAKING POWDER
UNDER THE BAN IN PENNSYLVANIA
Jury Decides by Verdict of Guilty in the Gross
Case that 1909 Food Act Forbids Sale of Alum Powder

In the case brought by the
Pennsylvania Dairy and Food
Department against MeyerGross.
a Harrisburg grocer, for the sale
OF alum baking powder, the
verdict was guilty, which places
alum baking under the ban
throughout the entire state The
case is the first one of it's kind
to be tried in the United States,
involving as. it does the denial of
the right to sell alum baking
powder unde any conditions.
1t was brought under the Penn
sylvania food act of 1909, which
forbids the sale of food or ingredi-
ents of food containing alum.
The Food Department through
this prosecution said that this
