DR.. Denny's Address

Richmond News Leader: From the
press OF the State is due vote OF
thanks TO DR.. George H. Denny,
president of Washington and Lee
University. for his address before
the Virginia Press Association, at
Natural Bridge Thursday. 1t was
not only complete refutation of the
charges made by another educator
against Virginia newspaper men.
but a demonstration that so far as
Virginia was concerned no other
profession cherished or attained to
higher ideals of duty to itself, to
the public and to the cause OF ics
tice and truth. More than that, i
was an inspiration to aspire to {
still loftier standard OF loyalty t:
right and still broader sphere @
usefulness.

THE WHISKEY TRAFFIC

The rumor that efforts are being
made for the establishment in Lex
ington OF a dispensary for the sale
of liquors seems not to be well
founded. No one appears to be re-
sponsible for the rumor, and so far
this paper has not been .ble to learn
who is at the head Of the movement,
if.there be such.
1t would be a great misfortune
for Lexington to contemplate Sc
riously for a moment the establish
ment OF dispensary or any other
form of the legalized sale OF liquors.
1t is true that local option as such
is in disrepute in Lexington, but
this is because of failure to enforce
the law. From personal observa-
ton, il would appear that nothin g
is being done by those in authority
to put stop to the Illicit sale OF
liquors in the town. Without this
effort the 'moonshiners" will con.
tinue to flourish.
A djspensary could only be es-
tablshed by the enactment Of a spe-
cial law by the Legislature. And il
would have to be shown the Legis-
lature that the people OF the commu-
nifty really wanted a dispensary.
Sometimes a petition signed by {
majority of the voters of a commu
nifty fails TO impress the Legislator,
with the importance of its demands
This was the case two years ag
when Williamsburg petitioned 70
the privilege of voting for a disper
sary. The presence OF 200 colleg
boys in that ancient town influence
the Legislature in denying the pet
ton.
1t is claimed by advocates of tn
dispensary that large revenues fin
their way into the town treasury
This is true. But at what price
Can we afford to lend our support I
any measure that will debauch tn
youths committed to our care
Moreover. the operation OF a disper
sary in Lexington would militat
against the growth Of our two edu
cational institutions; nay, more;
would reduce the number in attend
ance, because many parents woul
not desire to send their sons to a
institution situated in a town i
which whiskey is sold.
Let us go slow in this matter an,
feel sure of our ground before TAX
ing SO important step.

BETTER THAI MEDICINE

The Increase in the Deaths Result
Most Alarming, and Physicians
Everywhere are Recommending
Dufy's Pure Malt Whiskey as a
Reliable Cure and Sure Preventive.
Scientists and physicians have
been appalled, at the rapid increase i'll
the death rate from acute respiratory

Statistics from cities, large and
small, showing a steady yearly in
crease in the prevalence and fatality
of grip and pneumonia, have demand
cd an immediate and sure preventive.

They are especially dangerous at this

For more than fifty years Dutfy's
Pure Malt Whiskey has been recog.
nized as a wonderful remedy in the
prevention of coughs, colds, grip.

respiratory organs. Physicians who
stolidly conform to the ethics of the

and are prescribing it for their pa

The secret of the marvellous sue

and it not only checks the ravages OF
the disease itself, but replaces the

Judge Treadwel OF San Francisco has apparently found a way to

demonstrated his ability to strike the head OF James Jehres harder
and oftener than Jefries could strike his. thereby acquiring a very
large sum OF money, John Arthur has been afflicted with a very severe
cae OF enlargement OF the Uranium. He seems to have the idea that
having plenty OF money. and a certain kind OF fame, he can do a he
pleases. In many OF the cities he has been arrester OF speeding his
automobile, and has seemed to enjoy the notorety. Heretofore he
has been allowed to go and sir again upon payment OF a fine. Judge

CONNECTICUT leads the whole coun-
try in liberality In automobile legi[s
lntion. There is no speed limit, tho
state is wide open to nonresidents.
and there Is no llmrt to the time dur
ing which they can run their machines
without a license from that State. Be
sides all that, the State Is working to
give the automobilsts extra good
roads. Connecticut wr1l be a paradise
for motorists"
In all probability IT will be some
time before Vermont can dispense
wholly with restrictions upon auto
mobilists from other States, but as o
matter of fact we might as we'll re-
fran from trying to secure income
from that source, considering the com
paratively small amount thus realiz-
ed. We believe. however, 1t will be
we'll for our people and particularly
our prospective Legislators to conaid-
err how our legislation dealing with
visrting autos can be liberalized with
out interfering with our own inter-
ests.

for the belief that until after tho pres
idential election of next year both 81
the great political parties may be de-
pended upon to make as great a spec
tocular display as possible in the d.
rection of appealing to popular pre-
judico by attacking trusts--in less
trust-busting' campaign"
We see in this last utterance evil
denco of the uneasiness Of Wall Street
over any disposition to interfere with
the operations OF what may be called
the trust principle. President Taft
would not be true to republican tradi-
lions as the party of the people or to
the true interests of the great repub-
lioan principle of protection were no
to supinely allow the trusts to run
away with the interests OF the coun-
try
II can be stated without fear of sue
cessful contradiction that the American
trusts have done more to discredit and
to undermine the principle of protec-
ton than all the assaults of the demo-
Gratis SINCE the birth Of the republican
party.
Even the lamented Mckinley, the
greatest champion of protection, saw
he handwriting on the wall and in his
last speech before his death pointed to
| the lowering of protective duties on
the products of the trusts as an eff
fective method Of dealing with those
enemres OF the plain people
In ADDITION to directing Canadian
| reciprocity against the trusts President
Taft has simply sought to enforce the
| law against Illegal combinations In re-
strarnt of trade and thus responded tc
a call which the people az a whole
| long made in vain. In place Of the
simple agitation made by PresiIer
Roosevelt, we are now witnessing al
| the hands of President Taft deter.
mined effort to help solve the trus-
| problem.
