WARNING AGAINST
PROHIBITION LAW
Statewide Measure Would Affect Only People Who Do
Not Desire Il.

that government is derived from
the consent of the governed-that
only those should vote on law
who can be affected by its passage.
The ratification of the enabling
act would not affect the dry
counties in the least, yet the vote
OF the dry counties in the coming
election will help determine the
issue In counties where prohibi-
ton would be unwelcome. This
is manifestly unfair and against
the principle of local self govern
ment which is the cornerstone
of our institutions.
The experience of years in
Maine and elsewhere has demon
strated that prohibition cannot be
enforced where local sentiment,
and therefore the local govern
ment, are against it. To enact a
law is one thing and to inforce
1T is another When local senti-
ment is against law the State
government is powerless to in
force it. There arises at once a
conflict of authority, a wholesale
violation of law, a prohibition
that does not prohibit, and the
substitution of innumerable law
less dives for the comparatively
few well-regulated places of the
old order.
ITO summarize: The voters in
nine-tenths of the State have no
direct moral interest whatever in
the passage or defeat of the pro-
hibition law since their condition
will remain exactly as it is now
whichever way the election re-
suits. In the remaining one
tenth of the State where an anti
prohibition majority prevails,
the passage of the law would
force upon them an obnoxius
system which, without advancing
the cause of prohibition or tenn
perance, would make conditions
infinitely worse.
THE enabling act attempts to
substitute centralized force for
local self-government. 1t pro-
poses to substitute in Virginia
for the local option sy>em which
has worked admirably and
demonstrated its worth, a dan
gerous experiment which has no.
where succeeded and which no
less than sixteen States have
abandoned after disastrous ex-
periences with it. 1t proposes,
moreover, to do all this at tre-
mendous expensee and incalcul
able loss and damase to the Com
monwealth. For these reasons
the law should be overwhelmingly
defeated next September.-Adv.

Lost Benefactresa.

Many years ago every Christmas
Sve, there came to the workhouse in
Tanner street, Bermondsey, a rich
woman. She drove up in her car
riage to the workhouse, and the car
rage was filed with Christmas gifts
for the paupers. The woman came
for Eve years; then a Christmas eve
arrived and the inmates waited for
her In vain.
The years passed, and then, when
Christmas eve came around. the ma
sfon. who was distributing some small
presents to the old women In one OF
the wards said: To-day some kind
friend has sent these. But we still
remember the good fairy who came
for SO many years on Christmas eve
and was so generous to US. l Won

haps she is dead. The Referee.

New Kind of African chfaf

The first installation with Christian

indicted into office. The brother of
the dead chief declined to succeed him
for these reasons: Il cannot read, and

In certain countries or South Amer

The streets, from sidewalk to side
walk. are completely drenched. While
hundreds Of men. women and children
are showered during the course OF the
day, none shows resentment, but all
accept the dousing in true holiday
spirit.
In addition to the crude weapons OF
this water warfare-dippers, pals and
pitchers-there are the more refined
implements known as chisguetes
These are toys whereby Jets OF water
