Replies To Criticisms of His Advocacy OF
Local Option.

:, az recognize that there are many
who honestly differ with me on this
very important question, but I can
not believe that the great body of the
people Of Virginia, who are always
reasonable and conservative, have
ever thought and informed them
selves on this matter as they ought
to do; and l further believe that when
they have thought and been properly
informed, they will not be misled, and
thereby inhict, as I believe, great
injury on their State and people"
Judge Christian refers with charity
to the :...uglNNuntrue, unjust and un-
pleasant" things that prohibitionists
have said about his championship of
the Local Self Government Associa-
ton and the principles for which, it
stands, and declares his purpose to
refrain from ,imitating the authors
of these SANDERS by descent to the
use of recrimination.
az have been on elder in the Pres
byterian Church for many years and
| have held and still hold, other Of
fees Of trust, and, hope, usefulness
in that church, and while I fully rea-
lie my unworthiness as steward of
the Master, 1 have knowingly done
nothing to disgrace or degrade my
high calling;'. and I am fully con-
WINGED that my present position in
this canvass is in no wise inconsistent
with my obligations and duties to my
church. and I know this is the opinion
Of others far more worthy and capa-
bic of Judging than I am"
Judge Christian devotes several
Illuminating paragraphs to the dsas-
trous results of prohibition in Geor
gia, Alabama, Maine, Kansas and
other States that have had expert
ence with the law. and concludes with
this striking statement:

guard and defend what l believe to

ding of blood in her behalf. | am
neither an office holder nor an Office

bition is to do what | believe will

affiliated with this class or been con-
sidered by them an ally in any way.
1t is my opinion, however, that when
saloon keepers have been duly
licensed by the State and obey the
laws of the land, they have the same
rights to the protection and enjoy
ment OF their business property and
the other rights of citizenship that
other citizens have.
81 believe from the bottom Of my
heart that Virginia is menaced with
real curse of the so-called prohibit
ton laws involved in the impending
canvass. and that it is the duty Of
every citizen to try to avert that ca
lamity if it is possible to do so.

Richmond, July Elm a singing
reply to the criticisms which have

clared by, the Virginia Association for
Local Self Government, Judge
George L. Christian today publicly
re-afirmed his conviction that Vir-
GINA is menaced with real curse IN
She threatened adoption of the State
wide law.
The statement, issued in the form
Of an open letter to the people OF VIZ
ginia, reviews with pride his assocla-
ton with a patriotic and high-mlnd-
Sed company of citizens dedicated to
the purpose Of maintaining unframed
the basic principles Of local self-gov-
eminent, which prohibition threatens
to destroy, and summarizes his creed
in these words:
81 believe and always have believed
in Local Option. am Democrat and
l have always voted the Democratic
ticket, and | thoroughly believe in the
Democratic principle of local self
government. and hence, that each and
every County and city in the State has
the right and should enjoy the priri-
lege of determining for itself the pol
icy to be pursued in That community
On this important question.
81 believe, too, in the three aphor-
isms as enunciated by Mr.. Jefferson: :
First. that the State has no right
to control Or attempt to cohtrOl the
private opinions of the individual.
Second, that compulsion makes
hypocrites and mot converts.
Third, that error needs the sup
port of the State, but that truth will
stand alone without such support

81 am firmly convinced that Local
Option is the best method of deal
ING with it in the country, and
wherever there is a public sentiment
which will insure the enforcement
of the laws pertaining to liquor.
in the cities, l believe that the
only safe and best way is the impo-
sition of high license, thus placing
the business in the hands of the most
responsible dealers, who, cooperating
with the police force, will insure the.
proper enforcement of the law. This
last is the method now existing in
this city, and I doubt very much If
it can be improved on.

WALLER TELLS Of
INDIAN FIGHTING

The following is taken from the
Daily Capital Journal of Pierre. S.
D., concerning one of the best known
OF the pioneers and veterans of this
city:
"A rare privilege it is nowadays
to meet man who did soldier duty
In the forts OF South Dakota in the
early days, and it is rare thing,
indeed, to meet the men who We're
In this part OF the country in those
times. There is in Pierre today a
hale and hearty gentleman of "a.
who served in the old Fort Sully post
when 1t was down across from Farm
island. and before the post was
moved mp the river,
THAT man is Henry Waller Of
Grand Junction. Colo. who is here
with his Wife looking over the old
place and taking care OF some busi-
ness matters. From 1868 to 1886
Mr., Walker served in the local fort.
He was with the Fourth United
States Volunteers and enlisted in
virginia, and was stationed in Iowa
in 1860, a little later being ordered
west on duty. but when the sixth
Iowa cavalry they reached St. Louis
news reached headquarters of IN
dian troubles in this section, the two
companies were ordered here where
they stayed for four years controll-
ing affairs til before the fort was
moved up river. they were relieved
by other regulars
Mr.. Waller states that about the
only thing he recognizes is Farm
Island, where they used to get their
wood during the winter time When
he was here, there was little besides
trading post whore Fort Pierre
now tands, and Pierre was a mighty
indefinite proposition. He tells of
many exciting experiences while he
was posted here, and attributes his
life now to the fact that several
times he proved himself an excellent
runner us well as a good fighter"
