DIR CANNON REPLIES TO COL.
WILLIAMS QUESTIONS.

TN the current issue Of the Chris
tian Advocate DIR. James Cannon, Jr.,
In his article. entitled Leaves From
My Notebook" will reply to some re-
cent articles of Colonel A. b. Will
liams. and we print the same below. }
l reached home on Monday and
found that during my absence Mr.. A.
b. Williams had been Historically
clamoring for statement of my posi-
ton on the prohibition legislation to
be enacted next winter, and yet also
declaring that prohibition is not an
issue In the present legislative cleo
ton. Most men would recognize the
Inconsistency of such position, but
consistency Is not demanded of such
a genius as the editor of the Evening
Journal. Inconsistencies are appar-
emily necessary part of the literary
output of the editor Of that great
and good newspaper"
What Legislation?
In reply TO his insistent demand
that l shall declare my position on
the prohibition legislation to be en-
acted In 1915, I respectfully refer him
to the report of the Legislative Com
mittee adopted at the Norfolk Con-
vention OF the Anti-Saloon League last
March, That report demanded that
the General Assembly pass general
prohibition law, which law shall SUI
percede the Enabling Act and thus de-
stroy any possible excuse of an appeal
to the court by the liquor traffic con-
corning the constitutionality OF the
Enabling Act.
Furthermore. the convention de-
manded that the exemption as to
wineries and breweries forced into the
Enabling Act by the wet Senate,
shall have no place In the new law.
Furthermore, the convention in
structed the Executive Committee to
study carefully the laws OF the
various prohibition States and all the
court decisions in reference to said
laws. and to frame a general prohi-
bition law for Virginia In consultation
with competent lawyers. including the
dry" leaders in the House and Sem
ate.
Anxiety Unrelieved.
I greatly regret that / cannot rec
lieve the great anxiety OF the editor
of the Evening Journal. especially
concerning the liquor shipment fea-
lures OF the new law There Ii no one
feature of the law which Is more DIFF

MAGMA CHARTA.

A timely and scholarly editorial In
the Saturday Evening Post of last
week calls attention to the fact that
the recent celebrations of the signing
of Magma Charta are really very much
out of place in Democratic country.
The Magma Charta, as careful study by
late scholars has indisputably proved
is in no way Democratic document.
II was not even as Democratic az
many tendencies of the day in which
it was signed. II is. throughout, a re-
dictionary document.
Were the signers of the Magma
Charta now confronted with the
statement that they were acting in
the interess OF the people," they
would hardly know whether to laugh
or swear. The barons who drew the
paper drew II as a declaration of prin-
ciples OF government by, for. and of
the barons; that Is. of the nobility.
One very good reason why they never
thought of the people" was that there
were no people" In those days.
Everybody who was not a baron was q
serf or a slave.
The passage of time and a distorted
view. coupled with half-baked schol-
arship. which took regard for phrases
only. are chiefly responsible for the
mistaken importance that has been
attached to the Magma charta. The
sooner we realize the true nature of
that paper and how little it concerns
itself with popular rights and how
much ii is interested In fastening the
rule of the few upon the ignorance
and helplessness of the many, the
sooner will we align ourselves with the
facts of history.
