mission treaties with the United

tions is to prevent the United States
from being drawn suddenly into the
conflict.
Not Yet Ready for Peace.
President Wilson, in response to
inquiries, stated with great regret that
none of the warning nations Of Europe

the other to the great conflict will
induce the belligerents to listen to
peace counsels.

out the State in favor of the local

ADVISES AGAINST
MYSTERIES

81 believe the people Of this
State will pass upon this question
in no hysserical way, but that we
may expect a calm dispassionate
judgment in its determination,
1t is TO be sincerely hoped that
the extravaganza Of language
which has disgraced the contests
in other States will find no place
in the contests of Virginia.
81 sincerely hope that the peo-
pie of the State will not in this
election relinquish a principle
which has been their protection
at all times in the history of the
past, and which has been sancti-
fled by the best blood Of our
Southern country, freely spilled
in its defense upon the broad
plains of this dear old Common
wealth."
Alexandria gazette. [volume] (Alexandria, D.C.) 1834-1974, 1914-08-18
PRINCIPLE is OLD.

Mr.. Tucker develops further
the idea that true democracy de-
mands that questions of local adj
ministration and local policy be
determined by the local elector-
ate. He proceeds TO considcra-
ton of Local Option in the alb
stract:
1T is not Il modern principle.
It is not Il principle invented for
the determination of the liquor
question. It is 4 principle as old
as the Anglo-SaXon race from
which we sprung, imbedded in it,
institutions as bulwarli Of lib
erty and defense against
tyranny.
A great many people labor
under the impression that Local
Option Laws were invented for
the purpose Of determining The
Liquor Question. This is a mis-
take. They are merely the ap-
plication Of a great principle
which permeates our institutions,
and which are made to apply to
Liquor as well as to other things.

the :forceful sentiment of those

That there is less in one than

WAR ZONE is
|EXTENDING.

The action of Japan in sending an
ultimatum to Germany demanding
the withdrawal of the Kaiser's war
ships from the Orient has been an
! ticipated ever since Europe became
plunged in war. Germany is given
until Sunday to evacuate Kiauchou.
| 1t has been feared by many persons
| in thee United States that this bold
action of the island kingdom might
cause friction between the Mikado
and the United States, but the Jap
anese foreign minister has assured
the American Ambassador at Tokyo
that American interests In the Far
East will be safeguarded and the IN
tegrity of China upheld.
The appearance of the Germans in
the East has been repugnant to the
japanese for years. The attempt OF
Russia to extend her sphere of IN
fluence in the Orient, brought on the
n war between the Mikado and the
Car. 1t is not to be supposed that
Germany can accede to the demands
! of Japan, in which event the former
| country will find another nation al
ligned against her.
The war cloud now spreads over
la large portion of the world, and
there is no telling how much farther
