Why We Should Vote Dry.

Editor Virginian:
sir-Because the beverage liquor traffic is the
enemy Of business To the extent inbbes
his efficiency Is reduced 1t takes men and
means which should be factors for good and
makes them factors of evil And because the
finished productive drunkard-is worth less
than the raw material-the boy.
because il is opposed to good government 1t
Is in politics to corrupt, and carries with It all
of It's slime OF corrupt men and methods While
It claims TO be patriotic and revenue producer,
it only lives destroy. and pays only half of its
actual financial cost, in revenue, to say nothing
Of the irreparabe loss in poverty. shame and
death 1t Is parasite good government and
the parent OF ignorence vice and crime. It de-
cares it's purpose to live by law and IL pro-
hibited, to continue its death dealing work in
defiance of law.
Because self preservation is the first law OF
nature. and we have other way to protect
ourselves from our unneighborly neighbors. who
continually nullify laws and make spoil Of
our mamie cd. Because and the whole State
are interested in and affected by what is allowed
to exist in our market places. capital city and
seaport towns, where We ship our produce and
10 which our men and boys constantly
going; which places continue to disregard our
interest.
Because the liquor traffic is Injurious to every
thing we hold dear. To individual character and
efficiency to the home. to the schaoI, to the
church and to the State, and takes its place
stroying work. Because nothing else will do.
High license only dignihes and perpetuates the
evil and makes 1t more attractive to the better
classes 1t won't be regulated; for as Billy"
Sunday says: I'VE had as we'll try to regulate
powder mill in hell And who had not rather
contend with few blind tigers than with a
multitude with both eyes open and under the
protection of the State.
Because the Supreme court has affirmed that
the saloon exists by no inherent right but by
privilege and consent of the people. And our
own constitution provides that may deal with
It prohibit it we see fit And inasmuch
as other States around us are dry owe it to
them, and shall also be enabled to enforce
cur own laws the better, and that especially
under the provisions of the Webb-Kenyon bill
regulating interstate shipments.
Because to vote wet would place you fat
footed with the saloon, which has upon it the
curse of God and and would make the
senior partner in vice and crime; and prove a
backset both to the State and to the nation and
would be the opening wedge for the saloon 10
seek the repeal OF those laws by which nineteen
twentieths Of the State Is dry, and would further
endanger the peace. prosperity and security OF
our country
To remain at home is equal to casting half
vote in favor Of saloon and your influence against
he greatest moral reform that has come before
our people during TO- past fifty years. We are
fighting an unscrupulous and relentless foe, and
Cod the home. the church ana the State de-
niand that we do best.

HOW MUCH FOR YOUR VOTE?

What price do you set ON your vote, Mr. vir
ginia voter? Can you be bought by the liquor
trafnc? II so, you can get your price. The
liquor traffic has the money and 1t is offering you
the price you set. whatever that may be.
If you are banker the saloon is holding out
to you the bride Of its bank deposits. 1t is adj
vancing for your deception the false cry that its
blood money Is indispensable to your bank. 1t
fails to state that bank deposits have increased
steadily and largely in every prohibition State
1t fails to tell you that bapk deposits in North
Carolina in. the period of Statewide prohibition
from 1908 to 1912, increased from 1884, 1s
to sos. 0s2745 1t fails to tell you that the prop
erty valuation in North Carolina in 1908 was
$576,115 no. and that in 1911 the property val
uation was s74o.714a62. Have you your price,
buy you with counterfeit money. What is your
price?
Mr.. Business Man, the liquor traffic is Offering
you its trade Liquor dealers in this city have
even threatened to boycott you If you vote your
convictions for Statewide prohibition. The pa
loon has stated that prohibition hurts business
vet sos out OF 341 wholesale merchants and
bankers in North Carolina have declared in
letters TO- Richmond business man that their
business Is helped by prohibition They are in
the same business that you are. The liquor traf-
nr's business prospers to the extent that yours
is damaged For every dollar It gets for liquor
you lose one for groceries. How much are you
selling out for,
Mr.. Virginia Farmer, the liquor traffic is con-
cerned about your business for the first time in
history The farmers Of North Carolina in
convention assembled. have urged you to destroy
tie liquor traffic by your ballot. They are in
your business; they know conditions The sa-
loon has always been concerned about your boy:
II now claims an interest In your business that
il may be allowed 10 continue its destruction
ot Your boys Have you sold out for twenty
six cents in taxes, and do you know that you
are selling out for exactly the amount that some
have sold in for? DO you know that prohibition
never has and never will rise in taxes
without a complete revolution in logic, finance
and economies? DO you know that the liquor
thirty million dollars. DO you know that every
saloonkeeper in the State is fighting tooth and
nail to retain thar trade that he declares is en-
dangered by prohibtioni Are you selling out

for such barefaced falsehood as that old song
prohibition don't prohibit" In the face of the
facts? You farmers who live in dry territory,
has your local tax rate been raised by pro-
hibition?
Mr.. Newspaper Man. for how much liquor ad-
Tortising and boosted circulation have you al
ready sold out? For the publication of how many
falsehoods and SANDERS? What was your price?
Mr.. Preacher, the saloon doesn't want your
vote. It has no consideration to offer you.
Good women. the saloon doesn't want your vote.
For you the liquor traffic has price. but It is
head price for you. dead or alive. It pays you
with It's hate. and its settlement is in terms of
SANDER. No, the saloon doesn't want your vote.
The liquor traffic is Offering its bids to Viz
ginians: It has sized you up; It is making its
cffer. Every price 1t has set IS based on false
promises, is offered in counterfeit money, and
is the surest guarantee that you yourself-you
who accept its insidious offer-if you vote to
continue It, must pay in increased taxes the price
OF its deception.

DEER CAN BE SOLD
AND IN GOOD DEMAND

The mistaken impression seems 10
prevail that deer cannot be sold in
Virginia. On the contrary. the sale
of deer is authorized by law from Sep
TENDER to December. and the
demand is good. Only few deer have
been received here as yet. Good
specimens bring from 16 to Is cents.

LIE FEU

Lorsque Michel entendit cette
accusation, il s'arracha des mains
des agents, ct cria avec indigna-
ton:
-Vous mentez, monsieur!
En- meme temps, il levait la main
sur ~l'oficier de paix; celui-ci Sc
contenta de faire un signe q SEES
agents, ct r6pondit avec lie plus
grand calme:
-Prenez garde, monsieur; nag
gravez pas encore votre situation
en- vous r6voltant contre lautorit6
publique.
Michel comprit quill await tort
de s'empcrter, ct dit, en- martelant
bien tous ses mots:
Soft, messieurs! Je ne bou-
gerai pas; ne craignez rien de moi.
Je saurai attendre que cette 6pou-
Variable erreur s'6claircisse!
Pendant cette rapide exploitation
les invites de M. de St-Ermond
6taient venus Sc grouper autour de
lui. La comtesse russo 6tait par
mi les premieres, examinant dun
cell m6chant ce Michel Thomerain,
qu'elle d6testait CONNIE son plus

avec stup6faction leur. cher ing6-
nieur,. que tous aimaient. Et tous
Sc demandaient ce quill pouvait y
avoir de vrai dams cette horrible
accusation. NJ. de Saint Ermond
semblait lie plus etonn6 de tous.
Toujours appuy6 sur le bras de

garda sa figure %noircie, ses cheveux
