Prohibition Legislation

Some of the newspapers of Virginia, among
them the Lynchburg News ana the Newport
News Times Herald, refused to be pleased with
The enabling act as 1t passed the legislature and
will be submtte dto the people. Our Lynchhurg
neighbor quotes aprovingly the following from
the Times Herald, which is in line with what
the News has been saying.
1--WE are for prohibition that prohibits. not for
partial eclipse Would the ant-saloon league
be willing to go before the people with bill
absolutely prohibiting the shipments of intoxi-
eating liquors into dry terrtrose Would 1t be
willing to attcah that provision TO the ehaohhs
act?''
No doubt the anti-saloon league would ne
willing or would have been willing to attach
such a provision to III eenabiing act, had ii
cared to propose that Virginia should undertake
10 regulate interstate commerce, somethlhE thds
the State is absolutely without power to DO
The editors Of the News and the Times
Herald seem TO he laboring under the impression
that the Webb law confers such power upon d
state. but that is a mistake. The Webn la" uoes
not prohibit interstate shipments OF WhisfeF
for personal use and. therefore. State can not
do So The Webb law only prohibits interstate
shipments of whiskey TO be sold In VIOLATION OIL
the law Of the State into which the whskey IL
ihpd pes A prohibition State can not even I'M !
the amount Of whskey that may he shipped
lsture passed a law at it's last session limiting
such shipments TO gallon, but the supreme
court of the State has declared the law lnVahd
on the ground that 1t was regulation OF m
terstate commerce.
Why then should some Of the virginia news
ma ners continue to insist that the antl-saloon
league should have done ridiculous a lhlis
as to attach the suggested provision to the en-
abling act? The purpose of our contemporaries
appears To be to raise some doubt as 10 the
absolute sincerity of the league, but they are
rather revealing their own lack or falhlilariy
with the provisions Of the Webb law.
As to interstate shipments OF whlskey, we nave
agreed with the Lynchburg News that the Mapp-
Pennington bill in the legislature is not very
satisfactory 1t does not prohibit shipments
Of whiskey from wet territory into dry territory
within the State but merely limits the amount
that may be shipped But the temperance lead
ors explain that this measure was the best they
could hope for from an unfriendly senate, and
we can we'll believe it. since liberal as the meas
ure,is there is talk of a State amendemnt max
ing the proposed law effective November /.
1915 the day saloons will close and dstillers
shut down in Virginia, should prohibition win
in the September election 1t would be folly for
the temperance forces to refuse what they can
get because they can not get what they want,
and so have no legislation at all regulating IN
trastate shipments of whiskey.
| Doubtless the next State senate will he more
| favorably inclined to prohibition legislation.

AN TNNJSE ORDINANCE.

The subcommittee on public utilities is taking
the right stand in refusing to approve the pro-
posed ordinance giving the gas department the
right to cut off the gas unless consumers install
modern burners, The ordinance, which was
drawn by the city attorney TO carry out sug-
gestion of Arthur Glasgow, the London expert
directs the inspectors to examine burners all
over the city and condemn those of antiquated
type The consumer is 10 be given ninety days
notice to remove the burners failure TO comply
involving penalty of from S. to $40 and the
shutting off OF his gas supply.
1t Is an unn~se ordinance, AS long as a cit
izen pays his gas bills il occurs TO that he has
the right to use any sort of burner he desires.
II II is antiquated and burns more gas than the
modern appliances the city benefits by the use
of 1t and certainly has no kick coming. To cut
off the gas Of a consumer who was paying his
bills promptly for any such reason would mean
damage suit against the city with a verdict for
the plaintiff as foregone conclusion.
