PRINCIPLE IS OLD.

Mr.. Tucker develops further
the idea that true democracy de-
mands that questions of local adj
ministration and local policy be
determined by the local elector-
ate. He proceeds to a considera-
ton of Local Option in the alb
stract:
at is not a modern principle.
1t is not a principle invented for
the determination of the liquor
question. 1t is a principle as old
as the Anglo-Saxon race from
which we sprung, imbedded in its
institutions as a bulwark of lib
erty and defense against
tyranny.
A great many people labor
under the impression that Local
Option Laws were invented for
the purpose of determining the
Liquor Question. This is a mis-
take. They are merely the ap.
plication of a great principle
which permeates our institutions,
and which are made to apply to
Liquor as well as to other things.

General Stein has issued a state

he says the ''Liege Notifications will

The German general asserts French

war to instruct the Belgian troops to

ADVISES AGAINST
MYSTERIES

81 believe the people of this
State will pass upon this question
in no hysterical way, but that we
may expect a calm dispassionate
judgment in its determination.
1t is to be sincerely hoped that
the extravaganza Of language
which has disgraced the contests
in other States will find no place
in the contests of Virginia.
81 sincerely hope that the peo-
pie of the State will not in this
election relinquish a principle
which has been their protection
at all times IN the history of the
past, and which has been sancti-
fled by the best blood of our
Southern country, freely spilled
in its defense upon the broad
plains of this dear old Common.

MR.. fuckers VIEWS.

"When I was a candidate for
governor four years ago, before
the people of this State, says Mr..
Tucker, II expressed my opinion
in every speech I made through
out the State in favor of the local
option principle, and as against
Statewide prohibition | came to
that view very deliberately, and
have seen no reason to change it
since. Indeed, time has only
strengthened my conclusion that
it is the correct and sound view,
whether considered from moral
political, or social standpoint.

milton of the fact that in these

others, what may be peculiarly
advantageous for the people in
one locality of the State, may not
be suited to people III another To-

whom it would be of no advant-

CHAMPS NOT TO PLAY
Ban Johnson Opposes Original Plan of
Having League Leaders
Contend.

Chicago. Jan. 5.-The winners of the
big league pennants in 1915 will not
parade their prowess before crowds at
the Panama-Pacific Exposition to be
held at san Francisco two years hence.
Following a story from New York that
James 4. Sullivan would take up the
suggestion with the league chiefs.
President b. B. Johnson of the Ameri-
can circuit stated that he will oppose
the appearance of the two pennant
winning teams after they had already
played and determined a worlds
championship.
Johnson's objections are easily ex-
planned. To have the worlds series
contenders engage in a second clash
would hurt baseball. Take for in
stance, that the Athletics and Cubs
are the flag winners and the Mackmen
turn their usual trick of trimming
their National league opponents.
In a second series the Cubs might
trim the Athletics and what would be
the result The public would say. "Oh,
the Athletics were lucky. Didn't the
Cubs beat them the second timer"
And the worlds championship wouldn't
be considered as meaning much.
Sullivan to Come Here.
Sullivan is coming to Chicago this
week and will discuss the proposition
with johnson. The American league
mogul is not going TO frown on the
matter entirely, for the simple reason
that anything baseball does for the
exposition will benefit baseball just
that much, If not more.
He suggests that series Of seven
gaines be waged between two picked
teams, representative of the two major
leagues. The picked team idea would
create greater interest on the coast

TINKER SELECTS
TEXAS FOR CAMP
Chicago Federals Will Train
This Spring at Old Encamp-

Chicago. Ill. Jan. 5.-Joe Tinker

likely that he would take his Chicago
Federal league club to Mineral Wells.
Tex. for the spring training trip
Shreveport. La. is also after the local
Feds. but. according TO Tinker. the
prospects point 10 the Texas camp as
the 1914 conditioning spot for his ball
club.
The Federal league cubs are not
going TO be different from the majors
as 20 training camps. They are going
10 work securing training camps and
they will put on just as much style
during the training season as their
major league enemies, so 10 speak.
Owing 10 the fact that IL will be i'm
possible for the Federal league clubs
TO play exhibition games with any OF
the teams belonging TO the National
association. and that includes ball
clubs OF every league now in organ
lied baseball, the Federal league cubs
will visit the training camps in pairs
so as 70 be able TO get the real Trac-
tice that is only TO be had through
the PLAYING OF games.

more than likely that MordecJT
Brown and his St. Louis Federals
would accompany the Chicago team 20
Mineral Wells. and in the event that
such is the case the Cincinnati and
Chicago clubs viii play series OF ex-
hibition games during their stay Is

The White Sox once trained at

than would the appearance of the
champions.
For many seasons men prOmin ent
in baseball and some newspaper men
have argued strongly for such a ser
les. Even public sentiment, expressed
in various ways, has been in the same
direction. The fans would like to see
all the stars of one league battling to-
gether against the leading lights of
the rival organization.
Writers to Pick Teams.
Johnson is willing to make the men,
hers of the Baseball Writers associa-
ton the judges in the selection of the
all-star teams. Each writer could name
two full teams of about 10 men. The
players getting the largest individual
vote for the receptive positions would
then be selected.
Imagine an outfield composed of
Cobb, Speaker and Jackson. Or an in
field composed OF Chase or Gandil,
Collins, Weaver or Mcbride and Baker
Or a bunch like Daubert. Evers and
Doyle, Doolan or Tinker and thinner
man. The American league outfield for
such a fracas would be worth travelling
miles to see. The opposing pitchers
would also like to travel, but not in the
direction of the above trio.
