THE ENGLISH objections.

3
Tho Liberals insist that all is ovei
In England but the shouting. The
election held Saturday forecast the re.
turns for the whole country; socia
democracy has trIumphed; the Cabinet
is vIndcated.~ And SO, lnrrah for
Dreadnoughts and supcr-incomc taxes
Fhcre may yet be a slip between
the hustingb and the House, but at
present It seems more than likely
that the election-night Boosting will
not be In vain. The Commons, in all
human proba will be Liberal.
But the elections thus far held in
small majorities. and that the nu,ncri-
cal vote of the Unionists will be very
heavy
This OF itself constitutes menace
to the safety of Asquith's policy, espe-
cially since his party in the last Par
Lament represented none too strong
q popular majority. To be sure, on
test ballot, the Liberals could out
number the Unionists and their allies
by 1874: yet, the total majority on the
popular vote was but $4,000 If the
present strength of the Unionists con-
tinues to the end of the election. the
chances are strong that the Liberal
Commons Will represent majority OF
Unionist voters. In other words, the
~, ~ ,a
proposes TO carry through will be a
program which majority OF the Eng.
lish people have disapprovca.
That such could be the case seems
strange in government which, pridcs
itself upon its exact representation III
the peoples wishes. Englishmen arc
so fond of praising that system whicl,
secures the dissolution of Parliament
and an appeal to the nation when a
pet measure fails that they some times
forget the inherent weakness OF their
representative system There are no
statutes of the realm requiring every
district TO have fixed representation.
No law of Parliament says that every
100000 voters. for example, shall have
member in the Commons. Old Gus
toms and hard-won special privileges
prescribe the representation Of every
borough or shire. Thus 1t may hap
pen, readily enough, that the Unionlst
majorities in the districts where they
are strong may more than Offset the
majorities of the Liberals, and yet
may not affect the result.
Should this be the fact, none car
foresee the final outcome. The Cabl-
net would indeed be daring and ven
turesome that would force its meas
ures. even with safe majority in the
Commons. when it knew the people
were against them England's politi-
cal unrest Is by no means over yet.

Voice Of the People
Prohibition.

Editor of The Times Dispatch:
Sir,-Please allow me space in your
paper for a few thoughts on The much
discussed subject of prohibition" The
opinion is often expressed that "prohi-
sbition" don't prohibit. AS far as this
Is true. there are at least three good
reasons for 1T. One of the reasons Is
that there are quite a number OF men
who will vote for prohibition, but In
sist on keeping whiskcy in their
houses. They have delicate stomachs.
and must have their medicine handy.
They are not sincere, They try to
vote it out of other peoples houses
and keep it in their own. They are
like the men who voted for secession
and refused to go into the Confederate
army. They arc unwilling to shoot as
they vote.
Another reason for the so-called
failure of prohibition Is the operation
of theinterstate commerce law and the
State laws which allow the wet cities
and towns of a State to ship liquor
into the dry territory of the same
state These laws make the enforce
ment Of prohibition very difficult, hut
there is good hope that these laws may
be repealed at no distant day.
Then there are the Illicit distilleries
and the "blind tigers" These last can
be dealt with by local authority If the
laws referred to above are repealed
or properly modified.
What is the cause of the rapid
The times dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1903-1914, 1910-01-17

growth OF the prohibition sentiment
Throughout the South?
Local option was tried and brought
great relief. but wherever dry terrltory
camped. and did all In their power to
make prohibition a failure.
North Carolina tried to solve the
problem by allowing liquor Licenses
only In incorporated towns. but this
simply made the. towns distributing
centres Tor the surrounding country.
The only thing leat for these Southern
communities to try was Statewide
prohibition.
The States south Of us. as we'll as the
dry territory in Virginia, should have
our deepest sympathy and our help In
their efforts to rid themselves of this
intolcrablc evil. But what do we
see ?--the great and prosperous city or
Richmond. whose great property ~ the
result mainly Of trade with the States

Richmond Is responsible fer this
state OF things just as long az she
licenses the liquor business within her
borders Farmv!llc IS doing the same
thing in much smaller wayA Farm

The tobacco comes IN wagons from the
adjacent country extending from TWEEN

ton. This territory is mostly dry ~
Farmville has dispensary. which.
without let or hindrance, sends a
steady stream OF whiskey into this
dry region. whose trade brings to her
good degree of prosperity.
Tho jewellers in cities and towns re-

for Statewide prohibition looking
upon 1t as wish to NEEDLE with their
neighbors' affairs. to fasten upon the
cities. against their will. their OWN
crude ideas. But the country people
can say with truth to the cities: .We
have no desire to injure you: we only
wish TO restrain you from hurting us"
