MORAL ISSUES LOST
DESPITE MAJORITY

Twice yesterday did the senate OF
Virginia. by q formal vote, refuse To
vote ON the propositions which have
been before that body for some time
and decided two great issues ON their
merits the aHti-jus bill and the anti
gambling bill.
Mr. Mapp made II clear that he de
sired to have the body vote on these
| propositions and ra do SO without any
debate SO far as ho was concerned
He said that this would be tho last
time that he would mage this request,
that he believed it 10 he a duty 10
his people and TO the State at large
for the senate 10 place itself on re-
cord as to- where II stood on them.
He asked that the rules bs sus-
pended and that the jug law. as 1T
! Is called, be taken up. He declared
that his purpose was to have a vote.
He did not care To take any adyan-
tage Of the senate or to have his pur-
pose misunderstood. He proposed TO
follow this with motion 10 put the
bill on it's passage. He did not dis
cass the merits Of the bill, saying that
every member OF the senate knew ex
actly what they were and that they
We're competent to vote on them with
out any debate.
On the proposition to suspend the
rules and take up the hill In ques-
ton tho vote was recorded as fol-
lows. showing that majority favored

Der to suspend the rules.

churches, and there will be nothing
hung on it. The principal object is to
call attention to the sentiment of the
day and to what Christmas really
stands for. We do not know just
where or when it will be placed, but
presume this information will be fur
nished us later. Aberdeen, WATERFOWL
and other large cities are doing 1t"
and of course Bookings must get into
the game.

clothing in the machine. Mr.. Wiley
had a bad cash cut in his head, while
Mrs. Wiley escaped with but slight
bruises. They were fortunate that
one or both were not killed.

and be attended by the same persons
1T the baths with whom he was asso-

feel more at home and contented'

look as we'll as those he left, at home
and in the Ridge Section. He at

mers than their more westerly
neighoors. Mr. Walton will have
