THE WORK OF THE LIQUOR TRAFFIC.

Under the heading. Prohibition--virginia's
Way" the Augusta, Ca, Chronicle says:
We arr told that virginias new prohibit
lion law except the manufacture of wine and
IL per cent beer, but the same may not
be sold within She boundaries Of the Common
wealth Both may be made however. and
shipped GU; in two and one half gallon pack
ages 20 other states
This Is queer law.
If these manufactures are by Virginans
deemed Lad for Virginians, they not bad
for the people of tho United States?
Virginia - state and has the right 10 DO
as to liquor rs she elects But she eets up
curious standard when she pronounces her
wines ami beers injurious to her own cit-
10 merit Punishment. while continuing
to manufacture them for sale TO the people of
other states.
The prohibiuonists OF Virginia have Pc
cular idea about It, It Is plain that Virginia is
not TO have prohibition TO hurt"
If any further evidence were needed by Vir-
Finians Of the pernicious work done by the allied
aad entrenchod opponents of prohibition In the
last legislature 1t is to be found in this ex.
tract from an outside paper, which, ignorant
IL attendant circumstances, charges up TO the
wrong account defects in virginia's prohibition
law. seeking to place on the shoulders of pro-
hibiton advocates the blame for the work of
prohibition opponents. As The Viroinian has
previously remarked. and as every well informed
Nirginan knows. the provisions TO which the
Chronicle objects were inserted In the enabling
act by the work OF prohibition opponents who
we're able to muster sufficient strength to force
into the bill these Objectionable features. II
= not prohtbittonists who have peculiar ideas
about it, but 1t was the liquor lobby that saw
to 1t that 80 far as II was able Virginia should
IL prevented from having prohibition to hurt
the liquor forces, However The VirGtnian con-
hdentiy believes that with the unanimous sup
pert Of the Virginia press that has been &C
corded the prohibition law since the recent
election. and the Overwhelming sentiment of
Virginia on the subject the next legislature will
see to IT that Virginia has prohibition that

The Legislature should $50 the Limit"

The legislature should go to the limit in the
matter of enactment of penalties for the viola
ton of the law against the sale OF liquor when
il shall go into effect years hence 1t might
be we'll to provide that violations OF the statute
should be punishable by sentence TO hard
work on the roads 1t has been demonstrated
IN many cases that fine no matter now
heavy Is not an effective method of dealing
with vioators Of the law. Somebody always
can be found to help out the criminal by pay
ing the fine assessed.
1t is Of The utmost importance that the law
be given the farest trial possible 1t should
be enforced to the limit. Undoubtedly there
will be numerous violations and attempted vio-
lations. These should be dealt with in most
vigorous and rigorous fashion. In no other
way can its enforcement be compelled.
We always have felt that the greatest evil
likely to follow prohibition law would be a
Iaxity Of enforcement, intoxicating disrespect
for all law as we'll as the specific one being
violated tStrictest possible enforcement not
only Is necessary to n fair trial of the law,
hut is necessary to the avoidance of the evils
which ordinarily follow the enactment of sump-
tuary legislation
The legislature should provide perfect ma
chinery for the enforcement of the law, and
the penalties for its violation should be as
strict as il decency they can be made.-Index

We Shall Have Peace.

We did not take much stock from the first
in the story sent out from Richmond that the
Anti Saloon league contemplated inaugurating
immediately local option campaigns in several
Virginia cities 1t Seems that the report was
merely speculation. The Anti-Saloon league
promptly disclaims any intention of inaugural
ing such crusade.
AS a matter OF fact, 1t appears that the pro-
hibition forces entirely satisfied with the
situation. Their victory last week suff-
Client to last them for sometime to come 1t is
probable that there will be further agita-
ton of the liquor question before November l.,
1916. when the statewide prohibition law will
become effective We believe such policy will
be satisfactory, to every shade of sentiment in
the state We want peace.-Index Appeal

AGAIN, COLLEGE ATHLETICS.

The Halifax Gazette, while seemingly some
what at variance with The Tir0inian's view of
college athletics is really nearer than It thinks
III recent editorial the Gazette takes up what
Inc f1rgiaidn had to say recently as to poss
bic dangers aocruing to colleges from athletic
excuses, such as have been sometimes INDUCED
in by large American institutions
The Firgininn danger to college recruits
not in football. but in the predominance of an
college life that is calculated to work injury in
any cases to the relative values he places on
college interests
The game OF football was not the issue OF
Jhe Ft5oiataa's editorial, but the dangers Of al
lowing purely athletic ideals to enter the heads
q susceptible youngsters at their most suscept
bic age to the exclusion of other interests The
fault With college athletics Is not that they are
too numerous. but that they are too specialized
and that this specialization works to the detri-
rnent of the large mass of students The
Gazette comes very close to The Viroinidns posi-
ton when Il says: But as we see It. the little
harm sometimes done by college athletics is
-liN PFAiddoNtt by Tue lastIHR 2OOu tney 10, DOtn
III a physical and mental way. for healthy body
makes for healthy mind and, as Croxton-F Full
ton says:
You may scof at education,
You may laugh at what It brings.
but you won't find college heroes in the bread
lire"
The poin- make is that college athletics
fail Of their largest mission when they do not
make as many healthy bodies as possible that
TIE largest number of healthy minds may be
tie result. The tale Of too many colleges is
t1at for the football team there are In actual
practice score of candidates and two hun
cred rooters. Now roofing may develop the
lungs and prevent consumption but a purely
negative benefit such as this could scarcely take
the place OF the greater benefit OF general parti-
rpation by the entire mass OF college students
ia college athletics. Athletics for the college and
not for tho team is the end for which the wise
director vii, strive.
