lated. ii will increase the manufacture
and use of liquor. which argument,
II II had foundation In truth, would
naturally lead the liquor interests
away from their vigorous opposition
TO prohibition, ana bring them TO It's
iequaliy vigorous support What was
done in FairfaD is amply justified
BY our experience. All of the argu-
ments that were used 10 prevent local
prohibition are now only recollected
as an example of ErGundless and mis-
guided reasoning, aud in the years 10
come this will be the fate of the con-
tention that the elimination Of the
saloon. which has proved to be good
thing for Fairfax and many other
communities, may prove TO be bad
thing for the communities where 1t
yet flourishes.
There are those who admit the
evils which the advocates Of prohibi-
ton are trying to eradicate but who,
nevertheless. assert that Statewide
prohibition Will violate the principle
announced in the Declaration OF In
dependence, respecting government by
/ the consent of the EuvFrued.' As
those who make this suggestion know,
the law Of Virginia must be sought
outside the terms of I ne declaration OF
Independence, and, as they also know,
the trainers of that great political
charter were acting for the thirteen
colonies as the units without any
separate thought Of The cities, eouu-
ties or other subdivisions Of those
colonies ! am therefore at q loss
to discover any warrant for their as
session, or what bearing anything IN

believed that the colorcd people were
going to vote dry almost unanimous
Is! but circular representing that IL
liquor was prohibited, the next move
would be to prohibit tobacco had
wonderful effect upon them, especially
upon the thousands who gained their
livelihood in the tobacco factory"
This dodge. therefore, is over thirty
"e9rs old. and the gentlemen Of the
Richmond tobacco trade have very
poor opinion of the farmers OF Vir-
ginia If they believe that they can be
fooled by the same trick which was
played on the negroes of Richmond in
the year 1886 The writer is well ac-
quainted with thousands of tobacco
growers in the tobacco belt of yir-
ginia, and he does not believe that they
can be caught by so old a trick.
Now. gentlemen. Of the Richmond
Tobacco Trade otherwise known as
members of the Virginia Local Self
Government association, come forward
now with the proof of your statements
tell us the narAes of the leaders who
have indicated that should prohibition
he adopted in Virginia that 1t Will be
followed by an attempt to prohibit the
use and sale of tobacco In Virginia, or
rescind your resolutions and send out
another circular 10 the tobacco growers
admitting your error.
So much for the tobacco dodge of
the Local Self-Government league. u
Our Lesson.
The lesson the prohibition people !
must learn from this incident is that
the enemy is active and aggressive and
is leaving no stone unturned to defeat
absolutely the prohibition law. They
have unlimited sums Of money to spend I
on this election; they have shrewd and
experienced advisers who have led the
liquor forces In Statewide prohibition
fights in other States. and If our people I
desire to win n great victory In Viz j
nia they must recognize the fact that [
1here must be great work and great !
Sef-deniaI on our part. Our people !
have not begun to realize the amount
Of money which is necessary to proper !
" meet the work which is being done
hT the luunr traffic under various
eioalSs. They have their representa-
tiyes In every county. and will spend
all the money In every county which /
can he used without detection. They
hRVe rot hesitated to bride and 10 buy
votes jH he past, AMI they will not /
hesitate now. Nothing ss so endanEer-
Ing today az over-conf- !
deurc of our people.

SHEEP HELP TO CLEAN
"CUT OVER" LAND.

That besides making profit by the
production of wool and mutton, flock
of well bred sheep will aid greatly in
keeping down the weeds and in clear
ing up the under growth, is the opin-
ion of Frank Kleinheinz, one of Wis
consin's most experienced and success
full fiockmasters.
Even though a farmer in upper Wis
consin prefers to engage in dairying or
beef raising, he will find that flock of
90 or 30 sheep requiring but little care
during the summer months, will re-
turn a good profit in wool, lambs and
mutton.
When flock is to be used for this
purpose, great care should be taken in
obtaining good grazing type. This,
Mr.. Kleinheinz believes is best done by
using well bred and we'll formed
ram on rangy, native or western ewes.
Specimens of desirable grazing ewes
and breeding rams will be exhibited on
the Wisconsin Live Stock Special which
will be at Wabeno on June 4th, 1923 TO

AGOOD THING.

The experiment of working
convicts on public roads in llll-
no1s has proven more than sue
cess, and it's scope may be wild
ened in the future. The work
was voluntary on the part of the
prisoners.
1t is a policy which might be
followed to advantage in many
other states, and for two very
obvious reasons:
1st. When convicts are work
ed within penitentiary walls the
articles they manufacture are
sold to the public. and therefore
that much work is removed from
the ranks of honest labor.
2nd. When convicts are work
ed on public roads their labors
are OF benefit to every citizen OF
a community without at the same
time being a detriment to some
honest man who is in need of
bread for himself and family.
There is every reason why
convicts should be worked on
the public highways of this
country
America is notorious for hav.
ing the worst roads of any civil
lied country on earth, and yet
if every convict was put to work
in road Improvement it would be
only question OF time when the
highways of this country would
be the best in the world.
