WOOL MARKET SHOWS
PRICE ST|FFEN|NG
NO SALES AT PRESENT BUT OUT
LOOK is ROSY FOR LOCAL
GROWERS.
Heavy Sales Elsewhere at Advancing
Prices shows Trend-Old Wool
Clip at LOW Level, Causing Brisk
Demand for New Wool.

Though there is no wool selling go
ing on in this section just at present
the wool situation is full of interest
and there are indications of stiffen-
ing prices. Buyers are still negotiat-
ing with growers and reports are cur
rent of some alluring offers. The sit
uation is such that selling may take
place in the near future when shear
ing is further along.
According to a late issue of the
New York Jornal of Commerce. wool
contracting in the west. which was
smaller during the past couple of
weeks than earlier in the season be-
cause of the advance demanded by
growers, had been resumed in quite
a free way. During the past week
some good sized lots of territory wool
changed hands at prices that were
said to be in favor of the sellers. One
Boston house is reported to have pur-
chased 100000 pounds of Montana
in original bags at 19c, price that II
is understood to be a full cent above
the figure paid for similar descrip-
tions earlier in the season
According to advices received from
New Mexico. Arizona and Utah a
good part of the wool contracted for
will be on its way to the purchasers
during the next two weeks. Addi-
tional lots of Utah wool changed
hands during the past few days on a
basis slightly higher than growers
procured for the first lots disposed
of.
Although values have hardened
steadily in the west, dealers are con-
fident that the position of the domes-
tic wool market is such that new
clips will betaken up almost imme-
diately on their arrival on the sea-
| board markets. Domestic wool Of
last seasons clip has been reduced tC
very low levels. The interest ex.
pressed in domestic woods is strong
made as frequently as a few weeks
ago the prevalent opinion is that the
time is not far distant when active
| trading will again be feature of the
| market.
The contracts entered into for new
| clip domestic woods are so large in
| the aggregate that some good au-
! thorities estimate that close to 50,-
| 000,0 900 pounds have been bespoken
| by dealers and mills.

\ Last Word

THE man that has the right to vote and
does not exercise that right tomorrow is
not worthy 10 possess the franchise. Not for
many years have the voters of Virginia been
called upon to decide by their ballots inn
pOrtant issue as the one now before them.
There is no aw-abiding citizen OF this State
who should not manfully vote No on prop
ostion which seeks to fix upon him the self
confessed stigma of being incompetent to
manage his own local affairs 1t is not the
good or evil Of liquor which is to be passed
upon tomorrow. The liquor problem will be
with us until men radically different from
the beings they arc. The only question
that viii be decided tomorrow is whether Ut
not in their own opinion the men Of Virginia
arc capable of managing their local affairs
themselves
Every other consideration is subsidiary.
Even the possibility or probability that if the
Statewide pr0hibitonists successful to-
morrow, they will undertake other enter
prises for the diminuton OF local sclf-govern-
ments, is of slight consequence If once the
breach in the wall is made. The voters must
decide whether any opening at all is to be
given to those who would invade commun-
ity's right to control communal affairs com
munally.
The electorate should not permit itself to
he unduly swayed by any other consideration.
The fact that loss OF revenue must be made
up Icy increased taxation which the rural dis
lrlclS must pear rs we'll as the municipal itioS.
has It's Importance SO also has the fact that
the universal experience in prohibition States
is that illicit distillerics multiply together
with bootlcggers and blind tigers, who sell
poison to children as willingly to men.
That prohibition imposed on communities
without their consent means violations to an
extent which results in contempt for all law
is an axiom. All these powerful and ire
futable arguments against an affirmative vote
have value, particularly when they are
coupled with the inherent insincerity Of a
movement which leaves the manufacture of
some forms of alcoholic beverages as n legal
occupation, while the manufacture OF other
forms is made illegal and makes man
criminal for attempting to sell in this State
that which il is legal to manufacture in this
State.
These considerations-m economic So
cia!--havc great force. But We hold that
their force is practically negligible when con-
trastcd with tho supreme importance of de-
tending the bittcrly-wOn right OF SELF govern
ment. Throughout the ages mon have laid
down their lives TO acquire and preserve that
right, The history OF Virginia bears elo-
quent witness to the heroic devotion OF her
sons to the principle Of self-government
The Nirginiaps Of to-day are as determined
as they ever were to maintain their right to
govern themselves
