FLORA MILFORD BROWN
(By Monroe Beverly

She came adown the pathway
In Mavtime gariands decked,
While bright the sun .h-u' branches
The wayside hedging eeeked.
And she was young and tender,
Was Flora Milford Brown,
Her face was dia1pling sweet!y
Meath shade OF rustic. crown.
That day our love Was Weakened
BY call from merry throa's;
We felt the inward promp.ings
From lively warhlel notes.
And sweet was that awak ming
To sense of youthful bliss
The little god called Cupid
Between las wrought the kiss
In chldhke faith we promised
Devotion constant, true;
We smiled each on the other
Fen older lovers do
The glad leaves whispered secrets,
AS gentle zephyrs played
And ShrilIed the merry cricket
His gayest serenade.
And uhro' that happy summer
In childlike love we grew.
And smiled the gods upon lis
While trysting hours flew;
lived but for my sweetheart
The world lay at her feet,
She stood upon the threshold
Where love and sweetness meet
But came the brown October
Which wrought a magic spell,
Ny dream of love was over
My fondest hopes they fell
oh. why was she inconstant,
She who her love had sworn?
This life is not all roses,
And some things must he borne,
There comes a time when maidens
Their early lovers forsake
There comes a time when rnaidens
Their early vows will break
An elder lov'r she honored
Laid by her rustic crown
And then I lost my sweetheart.

RAILROADS. AND ADVERTISING.

That railroads.&c. most carefully financed
corporations extant- appreciate the value of ad-
yertising is amply evidenced by figures which
have been complied in this weeks issue Of the
Manufacturers Record

comparisons. For instance. III 1910. the South
railway stood at the bottom Of the list
in the amount Of money expended for advertis-

$11 per mae for Advertising In 1913 the
Southern expended $2l1oo7 or $50 per mile of
track, TROLLING in three years its expenditure for

The Atlantic Coast Line ran che Southern a

campaign. In 1913 1t expended SIS per mile for
advertising purposes.
The Seaboard expended S16 per mile for ad-
vertising purposes in 1910 and expended SINH
spent $23 in 1910 per mile and reduced this
appropriation IN 1918 to 500 The Richmond
Fredericksburg and Potomac increased its ad.
yertising appropriation from s48 per mile in
1910 to SCI In 1913. The Norfolk and Western
expended the same amount per milc--$20 in
1913, as 1t did In 1910
Some OF the larger and richer railroads spent
immense sums on advertising the past year.
The advertising account Of the Union Pacific.
for example. was considerably over half a million
while the Southern Pacific spent over 100000.
and the Atchtaon Topeka and sante re an even
half million.

are spent by the railroads in exploiting the

the truth of statement by a witness that the
conductor made Of profanity when he had
the encounter with the farmer
Conductor McCambridge's example is to be
commended to the world. Profanity is the
most excuseless sin In the decalogue and yet,
unfortunately. many men who are clean other
wise have this unhappy habit 1t is not I'M
common to hear foul oaths from the mouths
Of boys in short trousers and these boys have
learned TO swear from hearing their elders
swear. The habit was not born with them.
Their elders. therefore, have the dual respon-
sibiity of protecting the coming generation
and not SHINING themselves. There is nothing
more disgusting than to hear foul oath from
the lips Of man, and If the men who used
them could hear themselves as othwrs hear
them there would be 10 profanity.

Editor Nirginian:
Sir.-Of course reference is made in this
heading the great Statewide prohibition fight
now going on in our grand old State. From
the mountains to the sea- IN cities and in rural
sections and among all classes of our Virginia
people the interest in this struggle 10 free the
State from the curse of the licensed barroom
is growing and getting daily more acute. 1t
is great issue before our Virginia people in
this fight and the best and most thoughtful Of
our folks realize this fact too. and when they
get the opportunity they will surely give the
accursed traffic blow at the polls which will be
telling one The liquor men in CUR big towns
thoroughly aroused, for they that the
temperance people IN the state are aroused and
there is no installing the fact that the latter
element have blood in their eve and intend
with Gods help, to wipe out this disgrace to
the State. which has been tolerated too long by
cur people
The Christian people Of our State ought to
bo banded together to do this important thing
A great many of onr Christian panpie are
working and giving of their meane redeem
Virginia from this curse. The Methodists and
the faptsts Of the State especially are rallyinG
"a the temperance standard bat need the
cooperation Of all who are friends " the home

in this great fight
Are there any who claim to love Christ s
cause and who claim To love their ferowmeu
who will refuse to aid in this noble fight? If
such people can he found within the limits Of
our great old state they 10 b. pitied In all
candor we must say that for our part we have
scant respect for them, " Gods curse came

in battle for His cause, how will the professed
followers of Christ fare who fail to line up
against the saloon in this great nghta How
ever we are expecting tn hear good report in
September from the Christian element of the

result of this great campaign, for It would be
difficult matter for us 10 be otherwise.

Editor virginian:
Sir.--The province of the courts is to inter-
pref and apply laws rather than to make them.
K is significant that all judicial opinions in
liquor license bring out in bold relief the
striking fact that It Is anomalous for State to
license a business that is injurious to itself.
In the very interesting opinion handed down
by our universally esteemed Judge Richardson
ant-1Cense argument that a State should not
permit traffic ccnfessedly detrim entail to her
own citizenship Says our esteemed turist:
'By the laws of the Commonwealth the
sale Of intoxicating liquors to be drunk at
the place where sold. the public bar, is
regarded dangerous business and a
menace to the peace and good order of the
community.
The law also regards it business which
tends to debase and degrade the young
immature and feeble minded and to lower
the standard of womaniy virtue"
These are admissions of now the law regards
it's own creaton' And yet when it is seriously
proposed that the law which thus regards its
own creature be changed, there are people who
profess to regard those advocating such a
change as fanatieal and visionary 1t is an
axiom Of common law that no State may do
ought TO initiate against its citizens. II
this grand old Commonwealth has law which
regards thing which that law permits dan
gerous and a menace to the peace and good
order Of the community" and which tends to
dtbase and degrade the young, immature and
feebe-minded and to lower the standard of
womanly virtue" isn't 1t high time for us to
remedy such a monstrous anomaly and square
our laws with the basic principle and purpose
Of our magma charta9
In vain may it he claimed that license is to
regulate" thing which the law thus regards
rs an IbomtUatf0n, for the law does not give It's
sanction in order to regulate the evil TO any
other self-confessed debasing business. and Il
IL proposition absolutely untenable that the
sanction of law. even with stringent restrictions

which il inherently harmful TO society.
We glad that Judge Richardson re-
duced the number Of saloon licenses. and regret

other contested licenses. but specially
