Prohibition Anvil
We Are Betrayed.


The Daily Press lined up with the Roanoke
real prohibition for Virginia. The people voted
dry and we wish TO the State made dry in
!Ict well as In The Roanoke Times
now goes one better and expresses a willing
ness to see the state made Immediately dry.
Speaking generally says our contemporary
he Roanoke Times, for its part, would be en-
t'rely satisfied il the Assembly, now in session
would enact next week prohibition law to go
INTO cffec. March l. 1915, forbddng all ship
ments into the State Of intoxicauts OF any kind:
1orbidding the keeping on any premises of in
toxicants of any kind; providing for an custer
law. a search and seizure law, n nuisance law
and a staff Of paid officials snd feed shoppers
10 enforce the law. Since the people have vot-
ed or it the sooner it is put into effect and the
tighter II Is made. the better will be plea sed
That's beautiful sentiment But it loses it's
flavor, when We remember the recent procla-
nation of the editor Of the Times that he will
shake the dry dust oe Old Virginia from his
feet as the prohibition law goes into
effect That being the case. what boots it to

Vote on sheppard Amendment Explained.


Does not the fact that majority Of both

opposition of the leader Of the Democratic

General Comment
Segregation Again.

Segregation Again.
A somewhat careful reading of the speeches
delivered in the Legislature and rather close
examination of the list OF those members Of the
Senate and House who in favor of a Tax
Commission Plan. fails to reveal single sound
argument advanced in favor of Tax Commits
sion $ against segregation, but does disclose
the fact that those who loudest in their
cha mpionship Of the Tax Commission idea rep
resent counties that for years have been get
ting more money from the State than they
yield TO il.
or course they do not want to see segre-
CATION plan adopted, for then the counties they
represent would have to march up to the rock
and pay their fair share. They tell the truth
when they say it would increase the taxes Of
the counties they represent, but therein Is the
virtue of the proposed law.
That's exactly what this revision work is for.
If you tell how under heaven 1t VIII
ever be possible to correct the abuse OF one
county paying less than Its share and another
more than its share to the expenses of the state
without increasing somewhat the taxes of the
lodging county and decreasing those OF the
over paying county. then we will eat our hat
or course, the counties that have been lean
ing on the State treasury for 10 these many
years want 10 continue leaning on it. But snail
go forever with thirty counties and the
cities putting up half million dollars year
over and above their share. and the other sew
enty pocketing this through the legerdcmain OF
false swearing connection with property assess
mentsf
To be sure II the pap drinking counties are
to be deprived OF their pap their faxes will have
TO make up the difference But IL this proposed
i legislation Is not to eQualiZe things and put
the counties on equal footing then wha.'s
the sense Of this whole undertaking. II things
are to be eouazed at all, OF the counties
have got to pay more taxes and some less. That
is inevitable.
so the man who argues that segregation Ia
bad because it will increase taxes in some of
the counties is missing the point entirely: that
Is why it is good.
We hope and believe however that there
have been financial drag Sn the State rather
honorable purpose and devotion to duty. who
10 insure that uniformity OF taxation which the
constitution demands.
No decent citizen justify
q situation that will permit some counties to
pay into the state treasury two and half times
as much the actual value o: property as
other counties pay. Here. for instance. is
county which assesses its property at one-fifth
value. and another at one half value, The far
tner in the latter county pays $50 taxes TO the
State where a of identical wealth in the
latter would pay s125

The Professional Coach In Colleges.

President Hidden, of Princeton. suggests that
college athletic associations should dispense
with the professional coach and trust their for
tune. in baseball, football and other intercoi-
lecinte contests to their own unaided brains and
initiative. His idea is that these amateur strug
giles would be freed from the tendency to do
things in purely professional way. that they
would more clearly indicate the real merit OF
the contestants, and that they would develop
resourcefuiness and self-confidence the part
OF college men. II the suggestion were adopted
and carried out in good faith, we believe II
would help to promote the true spirit In anna
teur games, and though for time standards
riGht fall. in the end they might be even better
than they are now. At all events, victory
would no longer be \ victory FOR the methods
OF a particular coach. but victory for college
brains and strategy.-Baltimore Sun

her. A woman to crSate the impress
