a pretty pass If Virginia must still nourish
such an evil.

A NEW MORAL STANDARD.

American, in which 1t Ia disclosed he positively
stated that he would not be a candidate in
1912. exactly as he had said always" MIR.

even for man so intimate with truth and con-
sistency as himself:

to be an honorable man.
Here is startling standard Of honor newly
raised. How many letters has Roosevelt him
self given out? Has he ever heBitated to give
publicity to any scratch Of pen that could pos
sibly aid his own cause. confound his enemies,
embarrass inconvenient friends. or destroy
such individuals as in his opinion had lost
their usefulness?
When did the fine reserve that is supposed to
hedge about the correspondence OF gentlemen
find place in the Rooseveltian %decaiogue?
We sigh as we become convinced that an
other pillar Of morality has been raised to meet
the number which already require the pious
ton by facing them. Already 1t is settled

mendacity. Already II is a tenet OF the faith

CURRENT COMMENT
State Senate Defeats Enabling Act.

At Richmond Saturday the bin known as the
enabling submitting to the people of Nir-
ginia the right to vote upon Statewide prohi-
bition against the manufacture sale of spir-
ttuous liquors within the State, was defeated
by a vote OF twenty-four against to sixteen in
favor OF submission. The vote did not sur
prise the friends Of the measure. The liquor
interest has kept large lobby in Richmond
these people very persuasive in their meth
DDS Of operation. The Senate is not as respon-
sive to the demand of the people as is the
House Of Delegates, But when the time shall
come for another election let hope that the
names of those who have voted against this
measure may not be considered as worthy Of
representing the people and be permitted to
remain at home.
1t is worthy of note that when the question
of Statewide prohibition Is up for considera-
ton. the liquor men and their friends become
strong advocates of local option, When local
option election is on hand in any part of the
State. they fight It by means fair or foul and

Great Eiaht is Over.


While it has been generally conceded that the
Jordan enabling act would be defeated when it
came to q final vote in the Senate, the result
Saturday brought a sigh of relief in Alexan-
dria, regardless to how people stood on the
question. What everybody dreaded most Of all
was prohibition campaign with its attendant
bitterness, strife and excitement.
The opinion has always prevailed here that
in local option election in Alexandria the pro-
hbitionsts would meet defeat. Much or the
State already is dry, and If Statewide prohihi-
tion had to come Richmond more preferred
prohibition by legislative enactment. rather than
by a vote of the whole people. This, it was ar
gued would dspel much of the bitterness and
it would settle the issue finally and quickly
Already there is talk of another fight two
years hence and IL is predicted that the issue
will be sharply raised In the election for the
members az the House or Delegates but the
Senate. which Saturday refused to accept the
