This is the opinion of Judge Constable,

is not the opinion of some temperance
fanatic. but the calm considerate. dispas-
sionate judgment of careful, sober
minded experienced jurist Back of it is
an Illuminating experience on the bench
and as Prosecuting Attorney for the

says about that? At least nine out of
every ten criminal cases that have come
under his observation have been traceable
directly or indirectly to whiskey Citi
zens of Cecil You better judgment en-
tirely agrees with our honored Judge that
it would be dire calamity to re open
twenty or more licensed bars in the

The whiskey interest got another crimp
put in their already badly battered hulk
on Tuesday. when Virginia went dry by
as 900 majority. With the possible ex-

Indeed, few OF the counties are conceded
as voting wet and these by very small
majorities
Needless to say, the Prohibitionists arc
iubiIant. They. as well as those opposing
them. worked hard to get the vote out.

When Actor Made an Enemy.

Willie Edouin once told of an actor
IN a certain company who one day in
cautiously disclosed the secret that he
was actually saving 81 a week. The
rest of the company were dumfounded
at it. Then they enjoyed "the joke"
immensely. He was chaffed unmerci-
fully. There was only one person
present who did not join in the fun
against him. He remained silent and
when the money saver left he took an
opportunity of slipping out after him
and congratulated him on his common
sense in providing for a rainy day.
Then he informed him that he himself
had often thought of doing the same
thing, but circumstances had always
been against him, and just then he
was at his wits ends. Would the
saver mind lending him, say, ten
spot till Sunday? He did not get 1t
and became from that time one Of the
most bitter ridiculers of saving as
tending to make a man think OF no
one but himself. 1t really requires
courage in many circles to own to
ones qualities.
