When Will 1t BE Settled?

TT is proper or at least permissible to as
l sumo there will come time some day
when fitness to hold public office in Virginia
will no longer be dependent on whether the
candidate did or did not vote for Statewide
prohibition. This is not always going TO be
the dominant issue in our political contro-
versies. In some glad tomorrow it will be
possible 10 elect or reject candidate for
Governor for seat in the General AS
sembly for some other reason than that he
believes in prohibition or local option.
But when?
According to some Of the leaders in the
prohibition forces the glad day is long way
in the future. AS they view the matter, the
prohibition issue will never be settled finally
until mankind is eXtcrminatcd the mil
lennum dawns. The Demon Rum. they de-
clare. is lurking always around the corner.
If the statute books so Smcarcd with
antiliQuor legislation as to exclude every
thing else this Quintcssencc OF human
wisdom, its trainers apprehcnd, would be
placed in peril by tho intrigues OF the sleep
less enemy. Therefore. the friends Of the
cause" must always be filling the offices and
incidentally, feeding at the public crib. Bet
ter. we are permitted to understand, some
thick-hcadod clod who voted right" than a
man of conscience Judgment and clear vision
that an imported mcrcenary brands unworthy
TO make or administer Nirginia's laws
we do not believe that this It'll
can be induced indefinitely to accept this
variety Of drool. There is limit to its alb
sorption by the ordinary human understands
ing. The people OF Virginia who believe in
the enactment and enforcement of rigorous
prohibition laws are not going to credit per-
petually the reiterated charge that all those
who disagree with them as to method are
potential crooks.
The principle of prohibition. as The Times
Dispatch has said, has been written by an
overwhelming majority into the States
organic law. Good citizens have accepted
that verdict and conscientious local op-
zionist untes with convinced prohibitionist
in the desire that prohibition receive fair
trial.
Prohibition for Virginia should be real
prohibition and not mere farce and hypocrisy
as ii is in some Of the cities of Georgia
Certainly we do not desire to have the sale
OF liquor under State wide prohibition
handled in Richmond Norfolk as il is in
Savannah or Augusta
There will be no difficulty whatever in pass
ing all the measures that the advocates of
prohibition may feel to be needed or desir-
able. Measures of this type should be
passed, and whether Senator or Delegate
prior TO last September, believed in the virtue
OF such legislation will make no difference
Let us get through with it and stalt in on
something else. Virginia cannot make prog
ress while she thinks eternally and forever
OF one single thing.

TIE HEROES.

In that Valhala where the heroes go

Before the gate burned black with ba tile smoke,
Whose echoes TO the tread OF armed men woke,
And up the fiery stairs whose steps spears
Came the pale heroes of the boodstaincd years.
There were lean Caesars from tho glory fields
With heart that only to sword thrust yields.
And there We're generals deckcd In pride OF rank
Red scabbard swinging from the weary flank,
And slender youths, who were the sons of Kings.
And barons with their sixteen quaYterings
And while the mobiles went with naughty air,
The courteous sentinel questioned: who goes
there
And rs each came. fun Justify lie cr!cd
His string of titles. he passed inside
And presently there was little man,
a silent mover in the regal van;
His hand still grasped his rife. and his
Seemed blinded with the light from Paradise;
His humble guse n modest air
Tho sentinel held him sharply: "Who goes

There were no Gauds tackled to that simple name,
But every naked blade lcapcd out like flame
And every blue blood warrior bowed his head

1t is true that the majority OF the section
owners have passed to the great beyond. but
some of their descendants still among u.s.

the least, when the gates are left open. and chill

is the first specimen Of this odd gaZelle
