Editor of The Nirginian
Sir,--I read with much interest the article
published In a recent issue of The ttsfhtaH
on the mistakes of the late Democratic con
Yention in Norfolk copied from the Newport
News Press. Whether your Newport News
contemporary was correct in the charges 1t
made concerning the work of the convention
or not this writer does not undertake to say
but there is surely food for thought In the
article
am sorry that the Press did not include
in the mistakes which it thinks the Norfolk
convention made the failure TO make an ex-
preston on the temperance question. since there
is large and respectable number of people
Hho-were anxious for such an expression.
Was not this omission the biggest mistake
that the convention made? It significant
ly silent on this important question, and 1t
shows concusiyely that the political leaders
will shy around it every time they have to
face It, OF course this remark must be quail
fed for we have some political leaders, as was
clearly and Enthusiastically shown in the last
legislature who who were NOT afraid to advocate
temperance measures but did so with brave
manliness.
1t is patent to all thinking persons as the
significant Sphiny-like silence on the temper
ance question by the Democratic convention
shows clearly that as the whiskey folks fur
nish the sinews. of war it. is good politics to
keep on friendly terms with them.
Without great change in the future it

But Thursdays convention no more repre-

NATIONAL LEGISLATION AGAINST
TRANSFORMERS,

Another Congress will probably go into
history without any action having been taken
on either the Webb BILL" or any other Of
those of similar intendment designed to put
the Government in line with the efforts OF
certain States and communities to prohibit
the sale of liquor and the shipment OF intoXi-
cants into prohibition territory
The alleged reason for the failure TO pass
this sort of legislation is that it would be in
contravention of the Constitution of the
United States, which provides for free com
fnerce between the States.
Yet We now see that President Taft has
sent a special message to Congress In which
he urges speedy action to prevent, in the name
of the Government, the promiscuous of
habit forming drugs. Backing up the mes
sage comes report from Secretary Of State
Knox. in which he undertakes to say that
unless immediate action is taken on measures
now pending in Congress, 1.-The American Gov
ernment may be justly accused of being half
hearted in fits efforts to mitigate or suppress
the opium traffic and allied evils
It would be interesting if some member OF
Congress would take the trouble TO draw from
the Government its differentiation between
lis power to pass legislation to prevent the
promiscuous use OF drugs and it's lack Of
power even to 30 far enough TO give national
effect to community legislation regarding the
use OF intoxicauts 1t will not be denied that
| liquor has as strong, stronger habit
forming quality as the most insdious drug
/ 1t will not be denied that the pursuit of the
habic causes in the aggregate far more misery
and ruin than are attendant the use OF
opium in all its many combinations Why.
then, does ii happen that the Government,
which lacks only legislation to utterly sup
press the one evil, find Itself estopped by con
stitutional objection even from attempting to
aid in the suppression of the other in local.
