THEIR WORK WE'LL DONE,

The work of the general assembly in passing
the enabling act has been we'll done. The bill as
passed contains some minor provisions which We
would rather have had eliminated but. in the
main its provisions are satisfactory.
The temperance people were very wise aud
fortunate in the selection of the leaders who
were given the difficult task of engineering this
important and hard fought proposition through
the senate and house, The bill as introduced
was prepared by the Anti-Saloon league. Hon
Martin Williams was sponsor for the measure
in the lower branch. The campaign could not
have been conducted with greater ability or
better judgment than showed. The sent
ment of the house was overwhelmingly for the
bill and il passed that body without even being
considered In committee. Practically the same
senate had defeated the same bill two years
necessary to effect change Of four votes in that
body even to secure tie During the two years
the Anti Saloon league had worked with great
energy and effectiveness to secure election to the
house of the dry men from districts represented
by senators who voted against the enabling act
in 1912 although the league felt satisfied that
the people OF those districts were for the act
The election OF such members of the house was
strong, convincing evidence of the win of the
people and the Anti-Saloon league and dry lead
ers In the legislature depended upon this display
Of public sentiment to bring about the passage

nized as hostile to IT,

Of the State in packages not less than two and
half gallons, Great stress was laid on the sub
Ject that brandy is one of the by-products of
wine. The conference committee very wisely
modified this measure so as to prevent the
manufacture of brandy and also prohibits the
manufacture of any by-products containing a
higher per cent OF alcohol than is contained in
wine. and restricts the shipment to places out
side the state where 1t can be legally sold
The temper in which the general assembly has
dealt with this very important reform measure
is highly commendabe, While there was tn
tense earnestness on both sides and nothing was
left undone that could be done. there has been
the absence of bitterness and illfeeltng. The
temperance people in their law show great
fairness towards and consideration for the men
who are engaged in the liquor business. With
the election in September next these men are
allowed until November l. 1916, or more than
two years in which to rearrange their business
affairs and change their fortunes now invested
In the liquor business. Perhaps OF the amend
ments finally accepted in the bill the most I'M
popular one is that permitting the continuance of
the manufacture of beer. This applies. however.
to only such hrewcres as are now IN existence
and these cannot sell in Virginia, nor less than
five gallons or two dozen bottles can be shipped
and all shipments are absolutely restricted TO
the territory outside of Virginia. whore it can
be legally sold
We congratulate the people of Virginia upon
their victory We congratulate the general
assembly unon its wisdom in Meeting the
wishes Of the people.

all that our officers and men should know
about Mexico"
