The Richmond Virginian. (Richmond, Va.) 1910-1920, 1914-08-31

And so 1t has been with the pro-
hibition movement In Virginia. First
one locality and then another would
vote to abolish the sale OF liquor In
It's midst. but II has always been
found that as long as adjoining sec
tions were allowed to remain wet.
that Illicit shipments of liquor would
continue to stray across the lnvisi-
BILE boundary line. and the law could
not be enforced The local option
idea is all right, and there is nothing
Inconsistent between local option and
prohibition. the only mistake our To-
cal option friends make Is in the size
OF the locality. They have simply
adopted a unit which is too small TO
govern itself in matter of this sort.
for II has been learned from past ex-
per!ence that when a county goes dry,
ard an adjoining town remains wet.
the town will not let the county gov
ern itself--it creates an impossible
condition of affairs and there Is no
local self-government about 1t. When
John Randolph enunciated. and John
c. Calhoun later expounded the doc
trine OF local lf-government, they
did not take as their unit a precinct.
a district. or even a county. but they
took the State. and called their doc
trine States rights. IT would not
have been practical f6r them TO have
chosen any smaller unit. The time
has come now when the people of
the State have in overwhelming num-
hers signified their desire to have
this matter submitted to them, and
upon its issue depends the question
Of whether the towns will govern the
counties. or the counties govern
themselves--there can be no middle
ground--Central Virginian.
