Are These Not Facts?


Editor Vrginian:
Sr.--A fact Is a stubborn thing. You can't
get over, under, around through 1t. Isn't
it a fact that the liquor traffic in Virginia is
using the Local Seif-Government league as
catspaw to help pull its chestnuts out of the
FIRE? Isn't it a fact that you can't regulate the
saloon traffic? AS we'll turn two fierce bull
dogs loose upon each other but place piacard
or each telling them to be good, and not fight.
isn't It a fact that the saloon traffic would kill
the church If it could, and that the church
can Kill the saloon, If it would?
Isn't it a fact that the love of money is the
foundation of the saloon traffic, and for all
those who vote for its continuance?
Isn't it fact that the liquor traffic is always
destructive and obstructive. but never construc-
tive, instructive?
Isn't it a fact that the liquor traffic is the
greatest "obber Of personal liberty. life and hap
piness which are the inalienab1e rights of all :?
Isn't il a fact that when the State gives one
man license to sell liquor for "a certain sum
per annum, and refuses another man the same
privilege because he hasn't the price. tina, we
are not giving equal rights to all?
Isn't II fact that the liquor traffic does not
do the greatest good TO the greatest number,
which is good Democratic doctrine.
= Isn't it fact that the liquor traffic owes it's
existence In Virginia to the State and if So
hasn't tho State The same power to take that
& has to give?

The Press On Prohibition


The liquor interests in Virginia are making
hard fight against the adoption of StateWid de
prohibition in that State and using every
available method of securing evidence wh'ch
will tend to show the voters of that State that
the law Is vaiueless. During the past few
weeks they have had a man in North Carolina
getting up data from, various Officials which
tended to show that since the adoption or rro-
hibitton in this State there has been more
law breaking. 1t Is understood that this man
came to New Bern and cndeayored to secure
DATA, but that which he secured of such
nature that 1t utterly Ealueless TO him..

In Private Conversation With Dele
gates From Hot Springs They In
dictate Most Friendly Intehest.

National directors of the Chamber
of Commerce of America, the head
organization of more than 600 like or
PLANTATIONS in municipalities extend
ing from New York to San Francisco
and Deluth to Galveston, are inter-
ested in Hot Springs and the future
development of this resort.
At the meeting he'd in Little Rock
when delegates fro mthe Hot Springs
Chamber of Commerce discussed Hot
Springs as national resort and its
opportunities under proper develope-
ment of the government reservation
holdings, the national directors out
lined in a semi-officiai way how the
Hot Springs claims shoulr be put be-
fore the next congress, and pledged
their support.
Some of the men who spoke most
friendly to Hot Springs were John H..
Fahey, of Boston who is president of
the Chamber of Commerce of the
United States of America A. b. Far
quehar, vice president; w. M. McCor-
mick, of Baltimore, Leon c. Simon OF
New Orleans, II. l.. l.. Temple of Tex
arkana, Mark Prentiss, of Washington
Elliott H. Goodin. general secretary;
d. A. Skinner, assistant secretary; Il.
w. Thompson and G. w. A. VerditZ,
of the departments of commerce; and
Neil Saterlee of Washington.
Hon. l.. E. Sawyer made the ad-
dress at the luncheon, and spoke OF
Hot Springs as national resort, gov
eminent controlled, the efficacy Of
the hot waters, and the splendid flu
ture that the city holds, and the de-
sire on the part of the citizenship to,
while doing their part, also interest
he government in making some need
ed improvements. and also spending
me money in identifying the reser
vauoa. His remarks were enthusiasts
ticalty received.
There were none of the returning
3eleg ltes but beiieved that some good
work had been done in behalf of Hot
Springs and that the Chamber of Com
L. rec of this city, at the proper tims
can be sending a delegate to Wash
nrton enlist the support of the nat
ional organization in such an effec
tive manner as to get some good re
suits. i~IslA

1T MUST NOT FALL.

To abandon the advertising work at
this time would be serious step
backward from whic Hot Springs
later would have ofcult time re-
covering.
Advertising is business. The mer-
chant uses advertising to further basi-
ness when business is good, but also
advertising is his last resort when
business is bad.
Those who have undertaken the
work of securing an advertising fund
for Hot Springs at this time are con-
tributing doubly, for they are giving
their money and their time.
1t 1t not to be wondered at that they
feel discouraged VIXEN there is not a
fair response from the assessments
made on those from whom nothing
else is expected than an assessed pro
rata of their share of the burden.
1t behooves the property owners of
Hot Springs to stir themselves.
Instead of being laggard, they ought
to be setting the pace. The ought TO
be giving their support and thus en-
courage their tenants to support the
movement.
All of America knows this is a crit
ical period in the history of Hot
Springs. Scientists discuss the situa-
ton and the press is filled with spec
ulations on the result. VIII we take
advantage of the opportunity?
The matter is properly before you.
The press of Hot Springs has endeav-
ored through its own argumentiye and
through offering the opinions and ex-
pressions of others, to prove the SER
iousness of the situation NOW.
The advertising work ought to be
placed by November i or by Novem-
her 10 at the latest.
AS a rule the people OF Hot Springs
aver fail to answer a serious call.
Now, more than ever, should the call
be answered. If you have helped your
share of contributing, then go little
further and talk among your friends
and associates the need OF the hour.

BLAME CHEAP MONEY
Railroads Say Purchasing Power Has
Deprecated 80 Per Cent.

Washington, April 2S.-The govern
ment ownership of railroads would be
a necessary sequence to a refusal OF
the I. c. C. to permit an advance in
freight rates-or at least to provide
for additional net revenue to the
roads, was the suggestion made in
briefs and arguments submitted to the
today, in the eastern adj
vance rate cases. When the argu-
ments opened it was suggested by
counsel that the proceedings might re-
Quire five days. Chairman Harlan
said, however, that the commission
would make no definite allotment OF
time at present but later would an
nounce it's views as to the time to be
consumed in argument. George Stuart
Patterson, general counsel of the
Pennsylvania, opened the argument
for the railways.
voluminous briefs filed on behalf
Of the th:rty-five railroad system set
forth that the purchasing power OF
money has SO decreased in the last
Is years that money now paid for
freight charges is worth 80 per cent
less in the market for commodities
than in 1896.
The. brief submitted by the general
counsel of the carriers says:
1.-The railroads are still required to
sell their services at rates even less
than those established years ago, after
competition had forced them to a low
level and to take their pay in a de-
preciated currency, while they must by
their labor buy their material, borrow
their capital and pay British taxes on
the basis of present day commodity
prices"

kINGMAN TO DAM RIVER
Will Make q Big Lake and Beautify
City.

Kingman, Kan, April 2S.-King-
man. the county seat OF the county
Of the same name, has the city beauti-
full fever Enterprising citizens want
a municipal park that will have all the
attractions possible in Kansas town.
Fortunately, the Minnesota river cuts
the town in two sections. affording
water the year around. But the Min
nescah isn't deep enough for boating.
SO Kingman citizens propose to put in
a dam and have q lake in the middle
of the town. J. E. Ferguson and Mr..
WEIGH of Kingman called at the court
house to consult the highway engineer
concerning a spillway. They said 1t is
planned to build q spillway in the mid
die of the river bed and then throw
up sand dams on either side of the
spillway, so that in event OF high
water the dam will go out, preventing
the flooding Of the city.
