Hail to Virginia!

They having In Virginia prohibition fight
that is beautiful to behold, and the Indications
that old booze Is going to be routed from

left. and the papers that are in favor of freedom
fer Virginia exposing them to the ridicule
Of the waiting world Recently the Richmond
Journal, liruor paper sent n reporter to the
hihition in North Carolina. The mayor, who
is earnest Christian man, told the truth about
prohibition and what blessing it had been
tc Dnrham The reporter had the effrontery
as well the stupidity to msquote the mayor
and put him on the wet side. whereupon The
Virginian interviewed the mayor and printed
what he did say. OF course a lying canard
like this is bound TO hurt the cause it repre-
SCENTS with the thinking people of the State. The
Virginia vets need not turn to North Carolina
for comfort Our people. even those who at
one time apposed- prnhihitian, as selaa
bullet the question now. The facts are too
plain to be denied The value of prohibition is
everywhere confessed Our cities bounding
forward along all lines they have never done
before, and the disreputabe sections that suf-
fered from the blight of liquor blooming
like gardens The State. smells well looks
better since liquor was outawed The Religious
Herald is waging mighty warfare, and closes
IL vigorous editorial concerning the Durham
mayor with these words. 1.-The saloon is the real
issue. Shall continue to legalize it or shall
abolish it ?" That Is the question. and unless
We misread the signs In the Old Dominion our

RICHMOND VOTERS.

Why should Richmond vote to retain the
saloon in this city? There is no question that
vote against Statewide prohibition will be a
vote to retain In Richmond the hundred and
fifty saloons now doing business here Is Rich
agencies in her midst? Does Richmond adver-
tise them In her commercial magazine, "Rich-
nscnd"s Does she set them forth as an induce
ment in the speeches OF her representative be-
fore great bodies which she Is anxious to bring
to the city? Does she allow them free course
in the choice OF positions on her streets and
business blocks?
Richmond does none Of these things; then
why vote for the saloon, Mr.. Richmond Voter?

TURKEY AND THE BALKANS.

The entry of another triple alliance into the
embrogio aecentuates the imperative necessity
Of organization and alliance for the successful
conduct of any international war in recent years.
The Balkan states In themselves are fall match
for Turkey when they join hands AS individual
states they helpless. Since seizing upon the
strategic necessity Of joining hands against their
common opponent the Balkans have on more
than one occasion wreaked summary vengeance
on Turkey for her unwarranted crueities. 1t is
an echo of the last conflict that resounds through
Southern Europe under the vibratory influence of
the German and allied artillery.
Turkey is bound by the letharby of corruption;
there is not to be expected any we'll organized
attack on her part The terror of the TURK Is the
terror Of barbarity. The fear OF his coming
is the fear of the pestilenee; the trail of his
presence Is the trail of the moral leper; and the
influence Of his presence is the influence of stag
nation.

A LITTLE SILENCE, PLEASE.

We do not know whether the officials Of the
Virginia State library have ever considered the
enforcement Of a silence rule or not We do
know that the State library is an almost impossi-
lie place in which to work because of the noise
that is sometimes allowed there. 1t is natural
that one not engaged in work should fail to see
the necessity of silence that others may occupy
their time to advantage 1t is also natural that
who 1t attempting to concentrate his mind
given task should be annoyed at unseemly
and apparently unwarranted noises. If our
knowledge is not seriously at fault the silence
rule is rightly enforced in most of the large
libraries of the world Why not here?

The Press On Prohibition
Would Be Big Mistake.
Charlottesville, Va.

The taxation problem Is now being offered as
why Virginia should remain wet But,
wet dry, death and taxes are certain. Liquor
brings In more taxes, but 1t necessitates the ex-
pendtur of additional funds in order to main
tain order. Virginia would make big mistake
to permit financial considerations to influence it
in deciding between local option and Statewide
prohibition This would be true even if it had
been shown That prohibition materially impairs

shown.--Raleigh News and Observer
