so FAR, SO WE'LL;
NOW LET THE SENATE ACT


Thssyirginia house of delegates has for the
second tine this session stamped the seal of
Its approval upon the enabling act permitting
the people of the State to vote next September
upon the question Of Statewide prohibition. In
refusing one by one, to concur In any of the
fourteen amendments of the senate, the house
again puts itself on record as standing for the
measure in the form In which it was presented
at the instance Of the temperance people Of the
State. There can be no more question about
the attitude Of the house than there Is about
The sentiment Of the people this question.
The bill goes back to the senate this morning
and the question before that body is whether
II shall recede from the amendments or insist
upon them and ask the house for committee
of conference. The committee of the senate.
which considered the bill first adopted number
OF amendments and then reported the bill ad'
yersely The senate adopted all of these amend
ments except that fixing the election in June
instead
ments proposed and pressed by the friends of
the liquor interest were also tackled on TO the
hill over tho protest of it's friends and original
supporters In its amended form the bill was
passed by vote OF % to II.
1t Is common talk about the capitol that the
whiskey lobby is bringing every possible infu
enee to bear to induce the senators to refuse
to recede from the amendments OF the senate
and then TO kill the proposition for a commit
tee of conference. We can hardly believe that
serious efforts viii really be made through the
upper branch of the Virginia legislature to put
up such Job the house or the people OF
the twentynine members Of the senate who
voted for the amended enabling act certainly
more than twenty really favor submitting this
question 70 the people. They may prefer that
certain amendments shall stand, but cannot
conceive that they viii lend themselves as
parties to an effort to obstruet this legislation.
We have confidence in the integrity of the
senate, ana 90 NOT 'De}icNe that the Wnlshey
lobby. as potent and influential 1t is, can
influence that body TO any such eensurable course
Of action We confidently expect the senate to
either reeede from its amendments and let the
bill go as -it originally passed the house or else
to request a committee of conference through
which the differences between the two houses
may be carefully considered with view to rec
oncAing them.
The people Of Virginia look to the senate to
meet the issue squarely and to recognize the
right of the people to vote on this important
question,

FAMILIES OR CRIMINALS.

The Ex-Prisoners' Aid Society of Virginia has
done and is doing an excellent work in helping
to place coming out of the State prison,
after serving their term. where they earn a
livelihood and perhaps be kept from drifting into
crime again. Rev Geo. w. Wiley. who was large
ly instrumental In having this society organized
and who rendered 1t valuable service for sew
eral years as agent, makes through letter in
today's Virginian very strong appeal for the
families of men who are innocent victims OF
great hardship and suffering, while the offenders
against the law are serving out their term in
prison We commend to the thoughtful atten-
ton Of the general assembly the suggestions
made by Mr.. Wiley. that the money earned by
tho eonvicts be used for relieving the needs of
their families. instead of going into the Golfers
of the State There is no class OF people more
worthy of public sympathy than the innocent
wives and children Inundated and made paupers
by rash acts of men OF high temper and evil
dispositions

Nature Has Its MaY.

Why don't men marry? The answer to the
question comes one or the results of the
recent Ford furry in Detroit. They do, when
they can During the past week seventy-five
bachelors connected with the Ford works have
followed up the general raise in wages by TAX
ing out marriage licenses. 'lSelhshness'' and
such other stock explana IONS thus disposed
of. The matter is economic. The normal man
still wants to marry and have a family and
home-as soon he safely can. Whatever
the ultimate economic effect of the Ford PLAN
it's immediate effect whether economic social
or moral is good.-Chicago Record Herald.

OUR OYSTER INDUSTRY.

Mr. A. Clifton Powell Sr.. of Waterview, In a
letter to The Vtrgtntan, earnestly advocating the
reappointment of Mr.. W. Mcdonald Lee as COM
missioner of fisheries for the State. makes a
very gratifying statement touching the present
condition Of our great oyster and fish industry.
According to the statement Of Mr.. Powell. which
we have no doubt is entirely justified by exist
ing conditions, oyster and fish interests were
never In better condition than now, and We're
never so profitable to the State or more salts
factory to the thousands of men who get their
living from the waters of Virginia.
The declaration that there is peace and har-
mony among the oystermen and planters is par
ticularly gratifying,
We satisfied that every claim made by
Mr.. Powell Is fully justified by the facts.
