DIE WILL BE CAST TODAY.

Richmond fans will rejoice this morning TO
learn that arrangements for the transfer OF the
baltimore International league club to this city
have been practically completed. and the pros
poets for the opening game here Saturday are
bright
The necessary papers have been drawn up
and the money is ready, both for the purchase
OF the Baltimore club and to induce the local
club 10 rcIinquish this territory. The Inter
vote on the question of transferring the fran.
chise 10 Richmond and IT is understood that
five of the seven clubs which have vote are
in favor Of 1t. so that matter is settled
All that stands In the way now. It seems, is
the agreement OF the present Virginia league
club to surrender the Richmond franchise and
transfer 1T to some other city. The business
men have made the Virginia league magnates
generous offer 10 get out of the field In Rich
uond. and It is hoped that at the meeting of
the magnates of this organization today the
offer will be accepted without delay, Lynchburg

that is leading in the pennant race-and

would mean the Richmond grounds If We get

The business men have worked hard on this
proposition and are anxious to see.it go through.
Their enthusiasm ensures the LIBERAL support the
club would have right 10 expect. The propo,

gina league. and we trust they will heartily
agree to the liberal proposition that is to be
made to them
We want that Baltimore club, gentlemen

The Deadly Parallel.

Immediately following the letter signed Paul
Garrett" Is printed a facsimile Of letter
signed "Straus, Gunst & Go" cit is to. be noted
that Il. II Gunst, The e-president of the
Brewers, Wine and Spirit Merchants of Nir-
Einia. Is also Ineuter of the firm of Straus,
Gunst & CO. In the confidential letter il is de-
clared that from moral standpoint 1t is bet
ter to have properly regulated and controlled
business instead of the nnreguIatad Illegal sale
with its increase of criminahty and loss OF
revenue" which means, according to the prln~
ciples of local self-goYernment that local option
is better than Statewide prohibition, because
there will not he the unreeulated and illegal
sale when each community decides for itself
whether liquor shall be sold within its limits. .
The city Of winchester has held several To-
cal option elections and has voted dry and ac-
cording 10 the principles. Of the Virginia Local
Self-t government association its wishes should
he respected. The letter written by SfJaHS
Gunst & co. to Mr.. Felix s. Rodgers. Of WIN
chester indicates very clearly that Strans.
tSunst & Co do think that the wishes of
dry communities should he respected, nor q"
they object 70 the unregulated and illegal s&i",
for as shown by the above letter they assume
that the case of liqror would nc bought fog
purposes, OF sale. as they say, We take Il Tor
granted you desire the goods to SELL. ant.
furthermore. they know that Winchester is dry
territory for they SAY in their letter. I'VE have
an established rule not TO snip goods INTO pro-
hbtion sections except for cash
Here Is the vice-president of the Brewers
Wine and Spirits Me- chants Of Virginia, which
association IS clamorng loudly against Statewide
prohibition and advocating the time honored
principle Of local option. and declaring that
"
determine for themselves whether liquor shall
be sold within its limits. Here, l say, is this
vice president proposing TO ship liquor into
dry territory. knowing that ii Is TO be used
for purposes of Illegal sale. What does local
option mean to such people? It does not mean
that the people have any right to protect Them
selves in any special community for Strans,
Cfunst 4 Co. do not regard that right, is
shown by the above letter. Local option is
nothing but a stalking horse a shiboeth used
to rally men to battle in effort to defeat
Statewide prohibition.
Is It not clearly evident from these facts that
the real issue before the people of Virginia is
not a question of the principle of local self
government. hut is purely a question of lquos
or no liquor.

Prohibition Don't Prohibit.

One of the most pitiful walls of DR. Mcclure
the Honorable Judge Christian. the Honorahle
Mr.. CabeI Mr. Taylor and the Imported Pabst
Agent From Alabama, was, Prohibition don't
prohibit" If II only prohibited they would all
he fer it. Or. MctILire tells that If l be-
eved that Statewide prohibition would prohibit
then / would be for Statewide prohibition"
And right the heels of that statement, before
the same audience, he declared Il opposed
to Statewide prohibition politically because it
is not democratic" And further on ne declared
II am opposed to Statewide prohibition for
economic reasons" Further on he declared I
opposed to prohibition for physical reasons"
because of this necessity for stimulation For
all Of these reasons he declared he is against
Statewide prohibition. and yet if Statewide pro-
hibition would prohibit, he would swallow all
of the reasons which he gives against IT,
He does not think that prohibition is hest
for various reasons; and vet if prohibition would
prohibit he would vote fer it; that is to say
he would vote for the very thing which he thinks
and declares is not best. What wonderful logic
