This is the little dry poem" T will thank
you to publish
Editor OF Evening Journal
Richmond, Va
Dear Sr.-You say you trying to be fair
to both sides OF the prohibition question. VIII
you kindly print this little poem?
The saloon is sometimes called bar; that's
true
bar to Heaven, a. door to hell;
Whoever named it. named It well.
A bar to nanltness and wealth:
door TO want and broken health.
A bar to honor pride and fame:
door to sin, and grief and shame.
A bar to hope, a bar to prayer;
A door to darkness and despair.
A bar to honored, useful life:
A door to brawllng senseless strife.
A bar to all that's true and brave:
A door to every drunkard's grave.
bar to Joys that home irnparts:
door to tears and aching hearts
A bar to Heaven, a door to he'll;
Whoever named It, named IL well.
Can you deny single line. or even a word
in it? Is so which one?
Very respectfully,

AvNExaTTON COMPLETE.

The Vtrgtn3an felicitates with Richmond and
Hanrico over the peaceabe settlement of the
annexation dispute The decision by which Rich
mond was awarded the territory she asked for
was very fair. and it is extremely doubtful If 1t
would have been overturned by the higher
court Henrico is not to be blamed for making
the best fight she could for the things she
wanted, Henrico saw that the course of wis
dom was the acceptance Of the terms offered
her. and those terms were fair.
IT is a cause Of much qualification that the
matter is settled, and that both city and
county may go their ways in the light of new
conditions to accommodate themselves to the
growth sgf greater Richmond.

SAIGON has habit of gaining control Of local

Others say the saloon is here because personal

sonal liberty or the communities that have
abolished the saloon is threatened because OF
ha..ing rid themselves Of this institution On
tie contrary. We are convinced that the saloon

1t ttill exists in Virginia seems to have pretty
theroueh.y destroyed The personal liberty Of

But under it all is the old fellow who Just
loges booze. 1t doesn't make much difference
how it stays here. but he must have that booze,
and so he mixes up a toddy of saloon revenue,

THE yTaGINIAN-PILor AND REVENUE

The Norfolk Virgini1nPil0t is dubious as to
the effect Of Statewide prohibition on the finances
Of Virginia, drawing upon the case OF North
Carolina to strengthen It's doubt II quotes 4
member of the North Carolina Legislature as
saving that within eleven years the State tax
rate of North Carolina has been raised one hun
bred and fifty per cent. The Plot fails to state
however. on what source Of information the
member drew for hts assertion. 1t also fails
to point cut how much of this percentage was
added under the six years Of open barroonlS
and how ri11ch under the Ave years If State
wide prohibition.
Mr. r. r. Lacy. treasurer Of the State Of North
Carolina, has also written on the subject Of
taxation and Statewide prohibition. Mr.. Lacy.

hibition before its adoption In Carolina AS we
