SALARIES FOR LOCAL sHERIFF's OFFICE

SALARIES FOR LOCAL sHEftAFF . orrIOE~
The bill now pending before the Finance
Committee of the House Of Delegates to put
the Sheriff of the City of Richmond and his
deputies on salary basis seems to be In line
with progressive thought as to the proper re-
lation between the public and its officers
Aside from the fact that system under
which officers are paid certain definite suma
is generally fairer both to officers and public
there are vices of Determinations and privi-
ieges in the fee system which, while implying
no wrong in the officer. have a necessarily bad
effect on his relations with the body OF the
people whom he serves. For instance where
all fees for a certain service go TO the officer
holding the privilege, it is certainly compe-
tent for him To remit them on occasion as q
personal favor but 1t is equally clear that this
nractice is neither understood nor appreciated
by the man who pays. and that 1t has bad ef-
feet on the man who does not pay.
We do not know that this custom obtains
or has obtained to any considerable extent In
Richmond but 1t is an incident Of the fee sys-
tenn geneally which Is specifically guarded
against by the bill in question. which makes
quick public property Of all fees due. 1t Will
operate TO plainly define the Sherihs duties
and to plainly specify their cost In this es-

of a broad economy.

4 DECADE OF TEMPERANCE RESULTS


On the eve OF consideration by the House
Committee on Privileges and Elections of tho
Jordan bin providing an enabling act to
Statewide vote on the question of prohibition,
the Anti Saloon League OF Virginia meets in
Richmond for It's eleventh annual session,
The present meeting which VIII draw to its
deliberations men prominent in temperance
work in the Nation and in other States, falls
ii moment OF crisis. 1t happens at a time
when a pitched battle for long agitated prin-
ciple IL having It's lines formed IN the General
Assembly. It occurs al the moment when
hope for the realization of lis most cherished
project runs high. when every prohibition
against d further postponement of that hope
Eirginia's Anti Saloon League will gather In
= spirit recognizing the Importance OF the
situation the dangers that lie ahead Of it's
cause. and yet of thankfulness for what the
preliminary conflict has won in The cause OF
good government and right living.
II needs only the contrast between conditions
! of the present day and those obtaining when
The gayel fell to open the FIRST Anti-saloon
League Convention to show how far along the
way the cause has won.
Then. there was scarcely crossroads that
did not know the doggery that was the hot
house to every vicious impulse and tendency
in tho community.
Now, 50 far as state connivance is concerned
the rural districts are free OF liquor
Then the man who advocated prohibition
was put down as harmless crank.
Today he ia az the ease may be, respected
al one set upon enforcing great moral adj
vance or as a crank still, but one so dan
g.rous as to make desperate In defense the
forces Of the special privilege OF debauchery in-
20 which the license system finally resolves
itself
During all this while and In bringing to
ness results which must In great measure be
attributed to their activities, the members OF
the Anti-saloon League have been able to
. combine two usually antagonistc policies, that
Oh definite end and that of present oppor-
tunity Declaring for no less than State prohi-
hilton. the Anti Saloon League has not made
the mistake Of risking all one reverse. On
The contrary, It has been content. when moth
Ing better offered, to win sktrffishesg It has
found no victory too small TO add its total
of encouragement and hope to its purpose. 1t
has fought the enemy In mass and in detail.
Ii was by this eternal watehfuiness. BY this
refusal TO sleep on It's arms, or declare even
temporary armistice, that has come the present
stragctic position. from which temperance
fopcss see the greater part Of tie field already
won, and the remaining part ripe for con-
quest
4 The present meeting therefore, should give
canse for deep qualification to every temperance
advocate and worker. 1t should not, however,
