ROBERT LEE BI.ANToN. !,

The Virosnidn was greatly distressed yester.
day morning to have to chronicle the death OF
Robert Lee Blanton. editor OF the Virginia
Journal of Education.
Mr.. Blanton was a man with wide circle
of friends all of whom loved him much. He
was Of such character as to bind men to him
in warm friendship. Genial and pleasant he
was yet a man OF conviction and one who did
not hesitate to express himself when he be-
lieved 1t necessary. For education in Virginia
he did much. AS thp editor Of the Virginia
Education he was known to many by
name and through the work he did. He was
not one Of the elect who rose to place, but he
did what 1t was his to do quietly and effectively.
Virginia has lost one who loved her and the
public school system has lost one who worked
for it. These will miss him as much as the
friends he made.

A TRUE STATEMENT.

William H. Anderson, the Maryland Anti
Saloon league superintendent, was assaulted Sat
urday by former liquor salesman. Speaking
of the affair the Baltimore Sun makes this per-
tinent comment:
The friends of the liquor traffic should re-
member always very important thing in
connection with II. 1t Is not the same as other
businesses 1t Is business out OF which great
abuses can grow unless it is carefully re-
stricted and unless those engaged In it exercise
great discretion Violations Of the law and
athlation with corrupt political interests the
part of some liquor people have been suffi-
cdendly prevalent to throw discredt upon the
whole trade. The State recognizes this pecu-
liar nature of the business in the special legis-
lation concerning 1t that has been enacted
The sun is not believer in prohibition, but
1t is believer in good government and it knows
that there has always been connection be-
tween bad government and the worse element OF
the liquor traffic Prohibtionists do not be-
lieve that the two can be separated without the
extinction of The San believes otherwise.
There may be difference of opinion as to which
Is right, but there be no denial OF the
correctness of the Suns statement that the liquor
business is not the same as other businesses and
that 1t exists by sufferannA and not by right

THAT WHICH Is TRUE.

The enemies of Governor Sulzer, of New York,
who are his enemies chiefly because they are
enemies of direct primaries. are working night
and day to discredit him. Their latest exploit
has been to dig up the past and to make effort
to prove that Suzer was once accused of per-
jury.
All of this is interesting, but scarcely impor-
tant- The New York Sun, acting with and in the
interest OF Charles Murphy and William Barnes,
seems to be obsessed of the peculiar idea that
If 1t can prove that somebody at some time,
somewhere had said that he believed Sulzer
had committed perjury and had asked that he be
trjed on the charge. 1t has succeeded in proving
that the convention system of nominating can
didates for office is better than any other system
The logic In this idea is undiscoverable. The
SUM- with its brilliant scintilations of thought
and its warmth of bias and prejudice may be
able to trace the connection between what Sui
ger did or did not do In 1885 in Vermont and
direct primaries In New York State in 1913, but
no one else
Whether Sulzer committed perjury may
or may not be true, but that the Sun and Charles
backs to the walI-and Wall street-seems EVIL
dent, from the means they are taking to dis
credit the champion of that which they op-
pose.
sulzer may have lied in 1885; in 1918 he is
holding fast to which is true.
