The Newport News Daily Press says:
"The Drys Win Splendid Victory.
I'VE congratulate the prohibition
lists of Virginia on their splendid vic
tory in yesterdays election. The Local

and brought to bear all the former
arguments, and then some; but all to
no purpose. There was q ground swell
for prohibition and there Is no doubt
about it. The movement was simply
invincible and there Is no sense in
lodging the fact and trying to 'ex-

It is noticeable that Swannsboros
in Chesterfield county. the home pre-
cinct Of Ben ?, Owen, secretary Of
the Local Self-Government league,
went for Statewide prohibition by =
majority Of sixty-one. The dry vote
at this precinct was 212. The wet
vote was ISL.
This would seem to Indicate that
Mr. Owen WAS unable to convince
even his nearest neighhors. that pro-
addition would be a failure. 1t would
seem TO indicate that his arguments
have been refuted by those who know
him best.

Prohibition Must Prohibit.

flying the law Of Virginia for many
years.
Prohibition Must Prohibit.
One of the main points stressed by
Mr.. Pollard in his campaign speeches
was that the contention. prohibition
Will not prohibit, was practical
declaration that the law should not
prohibit. and this inference he always
denounced in strongest terms. That
the result OF the election merely
strengthens his determination on this
point was fully seen in his speech and
statement. The warning that the
fight has hut begun was taken to
mean his determination as attorney
general during the first two wears OF
the prohibition law, which fall In his
term of office, to see that the law is
firmly enforced.
An echo OF Norfolk's experience
with Mr.. Pollards enforcement shows
In the following telegram. received
yesterday.
Norfolk, Va, Sept %. 1914.
"Heartiest CONGRATULATIONS. Won't
you now please see that the Norfolk
section is set right before the. State
In general and its governor and at
torney-genera1 in particular. Publish
this if you wish.
ALLAN G. BURRow."
The crowds call was for Pollard.
our next governor" His statement
shows his sentiments
Il am glad that the majority seems
so overwhelming that the question
will put at rest as II has been In
North Carolina and West Virginia.
The temperance question ought to be
removed from politics, The animosi-
ties which Ii creates make II impos-
sible for us to give proper considera-
ton to other great problems which
are vital to the welfare OF the State.
81 believe that our citizenship Is
law-abiding, and will cheerfully ac-
cept the verdict of the people. / do
not mean to say that II will be easy
to inforce the law. 1t will be a task
Of extreme difficulty. What I do mean
to say lis that large majority OF our
citizens who voted against Statewide
prohibition may be confidently count
ed upon to aid in making prohibition
q success, because they believe in law
enforcement, and are willing to bow
to the will OF the majority.
THE fight hereafter will not be be-
tween citizens honestly differing as to
the remedy for the evils of tntemper-
ance, but it will be clearly drawn be-
tween those who stand for law and
order and those who would set our
laws at naught Prohibition will be
the law of the land and so long as it
Is the law honest citizens cannot differ
as to it's enforcement. Hereafter the
fight is between law and lawlessness.
and I have no doubt where the people
Of Virginia stand"

The CruciHed MaIcfactor.

Rev. Mr.. Ken-n, presented to the
gathering last night by Mr.. Kemper.
began his sermon on the rapid ap-
proach of the kingdom of God by de-
scribing the visit OF Christ TO Jeru-
salem, OF his reception, Of the hosaDnas
OF the crowds who would proclaim
him king, and of the change of the
attitude of the populace who. O. week
later cried 'crucffv him"
Possessed OF charming style. Mr..
Kernm traced the-storx-- through "a
series of beautiful word pictures, of
the sufyerinCs of the conCueror as he
passed up the road to Golgotha. The
sermon was delivered in a most IN
teresting way, and profound i'm
preston was made upon the audience.
In explaining the change that had
come over the people during the brief
space between the triumphal entry
and the time that Christ became the
"crucified malefactor." Mr.. Kemm
said:
MEN failed to understand that. In
order to do the. work God had sent
him to perform. to accomplish the
grea. task of saving the world, he
must suffer humiliation, sorrow. per-
secution and death: that he must reach
the crown through the cross. the
throne of the universe through Beth
Iehem's Manager; that, to be sovereign
of the race. he must first be It's SER
want that, 20 save lost humanity from
sin, he himself must become sin; that
he must travel the depths OF humility $
valley to reach the glorious heights OF
exaltation; that, to become judge or
the world, he must become judgment
for the world. that. to save others,
he could not save himself.
"The Jewish people did not under
stand 1t. and rejected Christ because
he did not fulfill while on earth the
prophecies which speHe of his au-
thority as a king, and the splendor
Of his Kingdom. They passed over
everything that foretold his humllia-
ton and suffering, and accepted only
these prophecies Of his glory and
majesty Their idea OF the coming
Messiah was that no was to be n
men, and his kingdom was TO be one
Of pomp and splendor like Caesars
dominion
The Triumphant March.
Mr. Kemm declared that the
prophets, the Roman world, and even
the disciples misunderstood, and con-
tinued:
THE history Of the working out Of
the plan of salvation Is the triumphant
march of This conaueror toward the
throne Of universal sway, and the
elimination of this work Will give
to him, in the fullest sense, the exalted
position of King Of Kings and Lord
Of Lords ruler Of heaven and earth"
That this position was not TO be
reached by him through world con-
quest. the preacher declared, Is shown
in the facts that he did not fall down
