For many hours before his death
he had been kept alive by oxygen.
For an interval last night. after
having been in a state of coma since

appeared to be stronger. The Vat

belief that the crisis had passed
safely.
Soon afterwards, however, he los

Is it right for a state to raise
its revenues by licensing bar
rooms, saloons and other low
dives of a disgraceful character
If it is not, why not vote against
such things? We believe in the
sovereignty of the people. but
the people cannot obtain the
blessings which society gives
when every man refuses to sur
render any of his natural rights
for the benefit of society. If the
individual finds it good to sur
render some of his natural rights
for the good of the community,
the community will often find it
good to surrender some of it's
natural rights for the good of
the entire state.
When States surrender some
of their rights for the good of
the general government. why
should not a community be will
ing to do the same thing ?
Local Self Government" is
nothing more than sounding
brass or tinkling cymbol in the
great contest for the good of the
entire population of Virginia.
