Wait and See.

Senator Mapp, of Aecomac, is cred
tied with some recent statements in
the Norfolk virginian- pilot. which
have been construed by the Richmond
journal to indicate a weakening on
the part of the prohibition leader
since the adoption of Statewide. The
interview in the Norfolk paper repre-
SCENTS the senator as saying the prohi-
bitionists would not want to prevent
the moderate drinker from receiving
liquor. shipments in reasonable guam

slightly flushed and breath family

Senator Mapp may or may not be
correctly reported by the Virginian-
PILOT, but the Journals joy over what
1t CONSTITUTES as his "indulgent gener-
osity" towards the cravings of the
moderate drinker is purely feigned,
and our damp contemporary knows
that 1t may expect from the Accomac
senator no aid or counsel whatever in
rendering ineffective the will of the
people of Virginia as expressed on the
23d OF last September.
Treating the subject lightly and
facetious comments by versatile
writer may entertain the readers OF
the Journal. but will not likely pre-
vent the enactment of further legis-
lation designed to make prohibition

expects to see Senator Mapp quite as
active in this direction hereafter AS
