INTO THE VALLEY OF DEATH.

The war has not progressed very far. but there
are heroes and martyrs to its cause already. The
desire Of tho world for tales of heroism and It's
applause for the bravery that dares to death
is not one whit lessened because the majority
Of the world knows beyond cavil that this IS
not "A war OF necessity but OF manufactured
causes. Liege and Belgian bravery are names
that will stand for many years with the greatest
Of history. 1t is not much to do ones duty every
day but only duty done each day can fit for
trial when the test OF lifetimes comes The
smallest Of the nations called upon for the
scenes of greatest battles the display Of most
magnificent heroism. and while we deplora the
work of those who brought it on, we can but
commend the valor of those who carry it for,
ward at their country's call.

Editor Virgnian:
Sir,--I wish to enter my earnest protest against
bringing into this wet and dry controversy any
bodys official relationship to the church in such
manner as to make it appear for against
any Of the questions at issue. For example,
YOU have employed Judge Christians statement
that he was a Presbyterian elder much to his
disadvantage. which may be a relatively small
matter, but also TO the dlscredit of the office
itself, a much greater matter. / feel sure that
Judge Christian not speaking for the body
Of Presbyterian elders, that he had any idea
Of doing SO. | feel absolutely convinced that
very few of them would do anything, or say
anything, occupy any position, or assume
any attitude, publish any literature which the
LIQUOR interests saloon, or any other institution
Ct the trade, would regard of Bile
aid" to their business. The liquor people have
said and have published that Judge Christian s
work is of Questionable aid" to them If he has
sought to escape the consequences Of this in
estimabe aid ny using his Presbyterian elder
ship as shield there other Presbyterian
elders who not only deplore this attitude of his
tut denounce it. Let him render this ''inesd-
mable aid" If ne sees fit but only as q citizen,
not as elder in a great church.
On the other hand trust that The Nirglnian,
snd all other anti-lquor papers, viii refrain from
such reference to this matter would even hint
e the Implication that the President Of the Local
self Government league had spoken in any way
for his co-officals in the Presbyterian church.
