OF what the condition will be should the
State go wet. The rural sections OF Virginia,
all of which were made dry by legislation, have
never voted on this question before. Suppose
they now vote in favor of the open saloon and
the legalized sale of whiskey what power I'M
der heaven is there to prevent its being sold
open and above board at every hamlet and cross
road in the State? Are not the people the
power? Is there any law stronger than the
creators Of that law? What power would our
officers have to stop 1t, from the governor
down to the Justice of the peace? Are they not
servants Of the people to do their bidding? No
sane believe that If on September %
there Is found a majority of our people on the
wet side, that conditions will remain they
are today The devil gets inch that
he doesn't Immediately take ell. 1t takes all
the powers of the law today to control the
whiskey traffic after fashion with the public
sentiment of the state behind the traffic What
would he the consequence? Can You imagine

NAVAL RATTLE APPROACHING

The virfonian feels justified from the course
OF the European war in repeating its prediction
that the actual decision Of the contest between
the great powers will lie In the naval engagement
that seems approaching Just as the Belgian
sktruish preceded the conflicts on the French
border. so the Heligoland naval skirmish may be
taker az the indication OF real conflict Of the
titans.
The war furnishes so many climatic thrills
that one is at loss for words to describe the
coming conflicts. Each day affords sufficient SEN
sations to satisfy editor for several weeks.
The diffculty after this is over. although that
contemplation does not present very near view,
will be 10 satisfy the public mind and appetite
for sensations. 1t Is like stripping field for a
big crop one year and then having to wait on

The city council met in special ses-
sion on Monday night, and threshed
out that nerve-wrecking proposition
Of who is to pay for spr1nkling the
street in the business section Of Man
chester. After much discussion pro
and con the council passed a resolu-
ton to the effect that the mayor and
council have no power to act in the
premises, and thatif the business men
want the streets sprinkled in the
down town section, they win have to
do as heretofore, go down in their
jeans and foot the bills. Mayor Rich
ardson has spent many sleepless
nights during the last few weeks try
ing to sole the problem. It appears
that under the Iowa statute cities the
size of Manchester have no way OF
levyinga tax for sprinkling the streets
but that it lis up to the individual
property owner to pay for the sprtnk-
ling in front OF his property, or let
the dust sail about in dense clouds,

and nostrils. and, on shelves Of the
stores and in boxes Of fruit. The
