it is the absolute necessity for the

WEST VIRGINIA TO BANiSH
LIQUOR AFTER TODAY

Charleston, w. Va, June go
Statewide prohibition of the liquor
business in West Virginia becomes
effective at midnight today. 1t brings
the total number Of states in the pro-
hibition column up to nine.
With West Virginia added, the list
will be: Georgia, Kansas, Maine, Mis-
sissippi, North Carolina, North Da-
kota, oklahoma, Tennessee, West Vir-
ginia. These nine states Of total pro-
hibition territory, plus the local no
license area, make up 2,132, ,725
squar, miles, in which 46,029, $50 per-
sons, or nearly so per cent of the
country's population, live, according
to the latest figures of the prohibition
leaders.
The $4,000 majority with which
the people of West Virginia accepted
the dry proposition was relatively the
largest ever given by any state. It
was approximately two to one for
statewide suppression of the liquor
business. 1t was surprise even to
the prohibition forces, who were in
debtcd largely to the determined
stand which many Of the large en-
rloyers took in favor of their cause.
The state has population of 1921
119 ly the census of 1910.
The mandate of the legislature, en-
bodied in the Yost bill, for the en-
forcement of the law law, beginning
July l, departs in many respects
from the methods hitehfto tried along
this line.
The chief features center about the
creation of commissioner of prohiz
hition, whose particular business il
will tc to see that by midnight some
1900 liquor-selling places in the state
have disposed of their stocks and
that thereafter all persons shall be
punished by law if they keep liquor

In the Imperial Enterprise of last
evening there is a statement that the
Press has been party to a scheme to
defeat the signing of petitions for
the bend election, through urging ac-
tion TO secure an appropriation from
congress for river work. The asser-
tion il without a word of truth, and
the falsity of it is shown by every
thing the Press has published.
Time after time this paper has
made the statement that the signing
of the petition and the voting of the
bonds were essential factors in Sc
curing an appropriation; that the dis
trict must be perfected that the ac-

in one body.
