PERSONAL LIBERTY j..

A young gir4, fifteen years old, innocent and

the country to the adjacent town suspectins
no danger or haFaa she passed along the we'll
known road, reyelling in the sheer strength and
ioyousness Of youth. listening to the song birds
in the tree tops. thinking such thoughts as
engage the mind Of maidens.
within quarter OF q mile OF the town, she
was suddenly attacked by young white man,
and several times knocked down She defend
ed herself as vigorously possible with hat

PLANTATION. The saloon keeper granted

stimuant produced its legitimate results.
drunken brute became menace 10 the rights
and liberties and peace Of a whole community.
We have here a concrete and horrible ex-
posuro of the fallaey of the plea of personal
liberty, which is the frequent resort Of those
who oppose the prohibition Of the sale of IL
qnor They argue the rights and liberties OF
the seller and the consumer. They say nothing
about the rights and liberties Of the community,
invaded and menaced by the hends and brutes
created by the traffic in strong drink.
If this incident were isolated or unusual
We would not presume TO make it the basis of
an argument. But this is one Of thousands,
differing in the accidental details and the
unessential features but Identical In essence
and principle The saloon fills men with liquor.
Liquor indames the passions 1t liberates the
beast 1t robs Of the power Of clear and right

proportion, It depriyes Judgment aud Will Of
their capacity 10 direct and control action.
Hence, from the saloon 20 forth the men who
commit crimes against property and person,
against liberty and life Thousands upon
thousands of them.
The saloon therefore is menace to the
rights and liberties OF any community in which
il is situated TO license it is TO give certain
men the privilege Of dispensing stuff that
ultimately threatens the rights and liberties of
the whole community. There is escape from
the logic. 1t is memorable and inevitable. An

prohibition, some that he opposed TO pro-

Wilson follows;

TSSU IFS, NOT ABUSE.

With just week Of the campaign for the
senatorial nominations before IFS 1t is to be
hoped that this brief period may be devoted TO
the consideration Of the Issues involved and
the capacity of the men who aspire to represent
the State in the Senate rather than to con.
tinued personal utilization and abuse There
has been far too much OF this, as the Vtrginidn
feared from the beginning. This is family
fight within the Democratic party and should
have been conducted throughout as such. Per-
sonal abuse and the stirring up of bitter feel
ing ought 10 be eliminated.
Tho one question to be decided by the De-
mocratic voters of Virginia on Thursday OF
next week. and that one of vital importance. is
which two of the four candidates are most
worthy to represent Virginia in the highest
legislative council of the nation. The character.
ability. equipment and service of each aspiraut
are matters for the voters TO consider rather
than some individual act or trivial matter,
which has no reference to thu fitness of the
man to best represent the highest interests OF
this commonwealth and her people. Let the
people consider and vote for the two men who
make for Virginia the most able and efficient
members of the Senate.
