SORGHUM DAYS

In these days Of high priced sug.
ar one incIincs to sigh for the
good old sorghum digs, when bar
rcls Of sweetness came off the
farms. Those were great times on
the farm, when they would cut the
sorghum, haul it to the mill,
squeeze out the juice and boil it
down to molasscs. How the smoke
from those fires would melt away
into the Indian summer haze and
create a scene fit for poetry and
love!
In those days, when some Of us
farmers would say, "Thosc are
good molasscs." we told the real
truth. II was good. TO be sure,
it had little raw taste, Il touch Of
nature indeed, but when il suTuscd
a chunk Of cornbread it made a
hungry mans appetite dance with
delight. 1t Is fact, when hunger
comes, which ought to come to cv-
cry well-rcRulatcd man or woman,
with a cornpone, a jug o. milk and
pitcher Of sorghum, one ran
feast like the gods Of Olympus.
We should have preserved those
sorghum days, as We should apple
butter and hOg-killing times, for
there is nothing in modern life
that can match their romance an d
their joy.-Columbus Journal.

SIZING UP The RESULT
Of A JOURNEY

Mr.. Taft is back on his job at
Washington once more!
For nearly three months he has
been absent, during which time he
has eaten and spoken his way thru
the states of Michigan, Illinois,
MISSOURI, Kansas. iowa, Nebraska,
Colorado, Wyoming, Idaho, Wash
ington, Oregon, California, Utah,
Montana. South Dakota, Minneso-
ia. Pennsylvania and Tennessee.
He has been defending. defend
ing, always defending his policies
and executive acts.
AS yet he has revealed no init
mate opinion of the good he thinks
he has accomplished by his cam
paign marathon, but this is being
pretty generally done for him by
the press of the nation.
And there seems to be a mnnotn
ncrs unanimity of opinion that the
good he has done himself and his
party is nil.
The Outlook, whose present cor
tributing editor. il will he rcmem.
bcrcd,was Taft's original president
tial sponsor. observes as follows:
W. can not but think that
the al niniStraiton suffered by his
absence from the capital. We
doubt whether any coll age presi-
dent could hn away from his facul-
ty meetings, any editor from his
staff conferences, and corporation
president from the meetings Of his
executive COMMITTEES, to the extent
that Mr.Taft has been absent from
his cabinet meetings during the
two years and eight months of his
administration without serious dis
advantage tothc interest intrusted
to his Keeping"
More incisive is the comment of
Alfred Henry Lewis in The World
Today. "Whcn he resolved upon
the Western invasion, Mr.. Taft
made political blunder," declares
Mr.. Lewis. "Hc injured and in no
wise fostcrcd his chances of a re-
election. Once west of the Missis
sippi, while everywhere received
with courtesy. he evoked no cnthus-
iasm. The people were cold, their
attitude chilly. Their silence while
he talked, their deeper silence
when he closed, never failed to
mark him political loser to an on
looking world"
Mr.. Lewis thinks that the prcsi-
dents Thanking his present speech
cs thru the mails and using the
travelling expense money provided
by congress on his trip. the very
planning of which was go tread
on the toes of popularscntiment,"
were i'll advised.
In conclusion be- it said that a
/ journey has ended whose finish
seems not as rosy as no doubt
seemed its start.-AItanta Gcorp-

I Il have been asked to answer a very
hard question, to-wit: How to enforce
the Virginia liquor laws The old
| writer's tell us that written law Is IA
rule OF action enacted by thu supreme
1 power. commanding what 10 right and
1 prohibiting what is wrong. II the
law-making power Of this State has

In our form of government we
have three distinct departments: %
1 The Law making; ca the law con-
strung and enforcing; (3) the ex7
ecutive or ministerial department.
/ When ne law-making department
/ of this State has enacted certain law,
thereby declaring the policies OF the
State on given subject, there is no
discretion III the matter, to be exer-
cised by the law enforcing depart
ment. A commemorative attorney is

the audience to whom I am speak

Adverse criticism OF the legislative
branch Of the government tends to
weaken the law and to impair it's
enforcement.
~ Nothing, In my humble opinion, so
hindered the enforcement of the IL
quor laws of the State as the con-
tinuai publication on the part OF GER

SO to speak which the law OF prohi-

net read leading press editorials de-
claring that the Law against unlaw-

is ciamoring for tbs repeal OF the

there is just as many gaming houses

same, is aiding and abetting lawless-

hindrances to the endorsements Of the
Virginia liquor laws. I will give few
thoughts on the subject OF enforce
