"SICK AND TIRED OF IT."

One of the readers of this
paper remarks: eve are all get
ting sick and tired of this
prohibition agitation, and we
want it settled one way or the
other, for good, for ALL"
1t can be settled only one way,
and that is the right way, viz:
by submitting it to a vote of the
people. This is the only right
way to settle all questions in a
country and government like
ours. And the question would
have been settled if the Senate
of Virginia had not turned q
deaf ear to the petitions of the
people at its last session, and
denied the voters of the State
the privilege of voting on the
Enabling Act.
The question of Statewide
prohibition in this State must
be met and disposed of, sooner
or later, and the sooner the bet
ter. Let the entire electorate
say what shall be done. This
paper has been in favor from
the first of submitting the ques-
ton. We may rest assured that
the Anti-Saloon people and their
friends will never stop their
fight short of an expression of
the will of the people at the bal
lot box, and the sooner this ex-
preston is had the sooner will
it be settled and gotten rid of,
and not before.

THE SCHOOL CONDITION.
IN THE COUNTY.

For several weeks pas t this
paper has contained articles
complaining Of school "condi-
tons" in the country districts.
Just what conditions" exist to
cause the complaints and criti-
cisms we have not been able to
ascertain clearly and definitely.
AS we see it the situation seems
to be about this: The people in
Clear Fork District, and perhaps
elsewhere, want high school
studies taught in their primary
schools, and are not permitted
to have them. In the absence of
regular high school, with high
school facilities, a number of
citizens in certain communities
are perfectly willing to provide
necessary supplementary salary,
or pay regular tuition fee, to
have these higher branches
taught in the primary schools,
by the primary teacher, thus
giving the pupils equal advant-
ages with high school pupils in
the towns, relieving the neces-
sity for high school pupils to
come to town to school, or else
dropping out of school entirely
after completing the primary
studies. This, says Mr.. Wagner,
is not permitted by the school
authorities, and this is the
condition" complained of, az
we understand it. The patrons
of the schools are not allowed
such school facilities and priv
ileges as they want, and are en-
tirely willing to pay for. A law,
or condition" which enforces
such privations is regarded as
very undesirable and wrong. AS
we see it neither the Superin-
tendent of Schools nor the
School Board has any right to
establish, or attempt to run a
oneroom school, with one teach
er, part primary and part high
school, unless the number of
primary pupils were so small as
to employ only a part of the
teachers time, in which event
she or he, might be allowed to
teach branches outside the
regular free school curriculum.
if not against the school laws of
the State.
However, we believe teachers
are employed to teach a school
of certain specified grade for a
certain salary, and the law must
be complied with.
AS to the teachers in the pri-
mary schools having time to
teach outside studies, we don't
see how this can be if there are
the number of pupils requisite
to having school at all.
The usual complaint is that
the schools are so crowded as to
give one teacher more than she
can do well. There is only one
possible way out that we can
see, and that is in the consolida-
ton of schools. By putting two
or more schools together, a suit
able building, suitable teachers
etc, can be had, and the condi-
tioAs met, and this is about the
only way possible.

Officers Don't do Their Duty

1t is a fact, or has been a fact
until very recently, that in the
coast and Tidewater towns and
counties, nominally dry" the
wayfarer could buy easily, but
at an eXtortionate price, pecu-
liarly virulent and destructive
red liquor, usually from Balti-
more and in bottles with fancy
brands; and that in The noun
tain towns and counties he could
get an offensive, i'll smelling
fluid guaranteed to be pure
corn whiskey'', a fight in any
half pint, a murder in a quart, a
fued to the gallon. These sales
could not be made and these
supplies could not be available
if the county and town author
tiles attended to their business
and enforced the laws as We'll as
do the authorities in The cities.
Reading OF Il trial for felonious
shooting in Pulaski we observe
stated in the testimony as a nat
ural and usual fact that young
men from the country, going to
that dry town on Il circus day,
easily and quickly early in the
morning procured a quart of
liquor which caused the fight
that caused the shooting. About
once week we print stories of
raids by revenue officers in
dry" counties, seizures of
moonshine distilleries, arrests of
blockaders. 1t is nonsense to
suppose that all this liquor could
be made and sold without the
knowledge of the local author
tiles. Yet outside of Buchanan
and one or two other counties
we see nothing of the local
authorities moving to restrain
their own people. Not long ago
an eloquent Anti-Saloon League
orator, speaking for State wide
prohibition and the enabling act,
or liquor referendum, shouted,
amid great applause: You
shoot at me with your jug, and
I'll shoot back with my vote"
He was talking in a dry" coun-
ty in which, judging by the
United States court records, five
gallons of liquor are made to
every one shipped there from
the wet" towns Of Roanoke,
Bristol or Bluefield.
Therefore, we suggest that
before the Anti-Saloon League
goes on farther with its cam
paign against the licensed and
regulated saloon in the cities, it
give some attention to the I'M
licensed, unregulated and law
defying saloons, blind tigers and
distilleries in dry" territory.
We see no sense in trying to
make nominally dry" State
while the the laws we have are
dlsregarded almost openly in
territory supposed to be dry.
Instead OF asking candidates for
the general assembly whether
they will vote to submit the
prohibition question TO the peo-
pie, it would be better to ask of
candidates for sheriff and Com
monwealth's attorney whether
they will enforce the laws we
have. 1t seems to be mockery
to demand that Virginia be put
under prohibition while the
prohibition law is defied or
neglected where it is supposed
to be in effect. Roanoke Times.

HAS
FINE COMMENCEMENT
Graduating Class Acquits Itself IN Fine
Shape. Other Items.

We have so much to tell about the
most wonderful event of last Thursday
evening when our big boys and girls
graduated with high honors that we
fear we would occupy the entire space
allotted to US. The crowd that paid its
respects to the graduating class was
immense, even the streets were so
iammed with teams that passing was
very difficult. The church was most
beautifully and artistically decorated
and was unable to accommodate half of
the large number persons who were in
attendance. The graduates acquitted
themselves most admirably while Will
lard 5. DickersOn, Jr., valadictorian,
crowned himself with glory and credit.
As we are more closely connected with
him, we hear the comments upon him
with greater interest though it is no in
creaduality upon the others. Miss Vina
Warren looked so sweet and bright that
all admired her. Miss Matte Fisher
was the idol of the hour owing to her
beauty and grace. So was Miss Mia
Macklin admired for her powerful and
robust form makes everybody envy her.
The Georgetown chorus club made the
hours go fieeting by with it's delightful
music which was the most charming
part of the lOngsprogramme. 1t was
striking feature to hear the expressions
of love and tender affection that the
spokesman of the class expressed for
their teachers, Mrs. r. ]. Clendaniel,
who started the class out in their early
career came in for great praise. The
bulk of elequence came for W. h. Welch
for their knowledge they giving the
glory for what they were and ever ex-
pected to be to their present teacher.
Mr.. West came in for much praise, and
seemed to be embarrassed as he sat
among the audience. Supt. Hardesty
made some witty remarks while distri-
buting the diplomas. but the crOwning
effort of that mighty crater and champion
of moral and social elevation was simply
grand. His well trained voice filled the
room in all parts. A solo by Mrs. Lena
Anderson was a mark of great ap-
plause. The affair reflects great credit
upon our town and school, and those
from distance remarked with great
surprise that Glendale was surely forg-
ing ahead.
Much excitement was caused on the
streets of our town last Friday evening
when a team of horses owned by John
T. Dickerson ran through the principal
street at full speed. The animals had
broken their halters with which they
were haltered at Abbott's Mil. four
miles distant They started on dead
run for home. 1t is almost a miracle
that the animals, the wagon. nor any
other persons were not injured.
