LOCAL SELf-GOvERNMENT.

The people of Virginia love
local self-government. 1t is nat
ural. Man desires to have his
own way. When in order to en-
Joy the benefits of society he
finds it necessary to give up
some of the personal liberty
which the savage enjoys, he
gives it grudgingly. In a mon
archical government he enjoys
little personal liberty. In our
government he retained much
of it, and it is with sad heart
that he sees the present inclina-
ton to sacrifice SO much Of his
personal liberty in order that a
strong centralized government
may be established. Shenandoah
wanted local self-government. 1t
voted out every saloon in the
county. A great Improvement
was the result, and the local OPP
ton laws materially reduced the
amount of liquor used. Our jail
is empty nearly all the time.
In spite of this we are not pei.
mitted to enjoy in full the fruits
of local option. A neighboring
town denies us this privilege.
Agents canvass our towns; oui
mails are loaded with circulars
advertising liquors of all kinds
the express company delivers the
packages, and in spite OF our To-
col option laws, we have the
county inundated with liquor.
We are denied local self-gov.
ernment but we want it and the
only way we can get it is by
placing other towns under the
same restrictions which we have

eminent unless we are freed from
the dominating influence of wet

Let us all have a local self.
government that will protect moi
only one county, but all the
counties in the State. By voting
for prohibition. we will be able
to obtain it.

Will The Revenue Be Decreased

The liquor interests are now
loud in claiming that prohibition
will reduce the revenues of the
State. The giant corporation
which has been costing the State
millions of dollars they propose
to continue. That corporation
consists OF the Unites States
Government, the State of Viz
ginia. the corporation in which
the sales are made, the distiller,
the wholesale dealer and saloon
keeper. While this corporation
exists, the citizen who desires to
buy gallon of pure wliskey
which is worth only abort 80
cents, must pay to the General
Government about one dollar; to
the State of Virginia its share
and to the other parties in ii e
corporation their shares until it
amounts to about $500 and e
then receives a gallon Of socalled
pure whiskey" which generally
contains a small amount of viii
key and a mixture of poisonous
drugs. So long as every 80
cents worth of whiskey sells for
$500 and upwards and the great
er part of the money goes be-
yond the State limits, our peo-
pie need not fear any increase OF
taxation.
Under prohibition this money
would go into the hands of our !
merchants, our farmers, our me-
chanics and our laboring men. |
The homes of the people would |
be improved, many families that |
suffer for the necessaries of life |
would be literally supplied and |
the bulk of the money would re-
main in the State.
