WEDNESDAY. JUNE 80. 1915.
ONE YEAR DRY.

One year 80 today the state Of
west Virginia wen dry. In that time
Ghe people Of Fairroon: have had a
chance to become fully acquainted
with the terms dry town" and dry
state" The West virginian made a
canvass Of many OF the most promi.
nent citizens Of Fairmont IN order to
get the consensus Of opinion on pro.
hfbtt3on after n years trial.
The gist Of the opinion Of all those
interviewed may be boiled down to the
following:
Prohibition is a good thing. Fair
mont is far better of, socially, moral
" and financially without the saloon
than with it.
II this be true, the value of prohi
bition has been shown, and none can
doubt the fact that West Virginia
made q step in the right direction
when she went dry by the big major
ity Of 10000 votes. It was a good
move. The abolishment Of the saloons
Of the state has resulted in a better
state from every angle.
Mayor Anthony Bowen makes the
statement that the work OF the Fair
mont police department has been re
dueed three-fourths since the saloons
we're given the knockout punch by the
voters Of the state. During the pres.
emit year, that is during the prohibt
ton year Just ended, a total Of POI ar
rests have been made by the city OF.
Acers against S42 arrests made the
year before when the saloons were
open.
This in itself is sufficient evidence
70 show that the dry state" is the
best state. A city where law and or
der prevail will have few arrests; and
the statement OF Mayor Bowen shows
that IT is easiert to keep law and order
IN Fatrmont without booze than with
It.
Judge ". S. Raymond states that no
person In Marion county has been in.
dicted for the second offense under
the Yost law, thus showing that a big
effort is being made to obey the law.
The statements of the prominent
citizens Of Fairmont interviewed on
the subject, will be found in another
column Of today's West Virginian.
Read them and be convinced Of the
value Of prohibition.

- insurance COMPANY. said:

The insurance companies as wen
as the families are the benet1ciaries OF
prohibition for there are fewer Ger
dents and men live longer in a proEiDi'
tion state than they do in wet state
More people take insurance lot mere
is more money to pay for polcles,
The insurance companies reap part OF
the harvest which formerly went TO the
saloons in Marion county. Our com
many has written more insurance IN
West Virginia in the last u months
than during any preceding year. The
fact that we have prohibition IN Far
mont makes II much safer and more
pleasant for a business woman to a
Ell throughout the city for the transac'
ton Of business,
E. NJ. Taylor of the A. G. Martin
tobacco and book store, Main street
said:
prohibition is a good thing. It has
been a benefit to business IN every
way"
Charles F. Martin, Of Martin Broth
ers Drug Store, said:
a think prohibition is a good thing
and a druggist is in a position TO know
If anybody is"
John W. Mason. prominent member
OF the Marion county bar said:
you ask me what think OF the
effects OF the prohibition amendment?
81 take it that all must concede that
it has very greatly decreased the use
Of intoxicating liquors as a beverage.
Their use as a beverage in most cases
results sooner or later in i~ntoxtcation
and drunkenness. From this view
point prohibition is a success.
True there are some sales made
now contrary TO law, but not nearly
so many illegal sales are made now as
we're made heretofore by licensed
dealers. The illegal sales made by
licensed saloon dealers greatly exceed
ed the sales now made by bootleggers.

NO DUAL

Some exceedingly appropriate re
marks were made by Justice Kelby in
the Queens County Supreme Court to
the prospective citizens OF the Unitei
ststes who appeared before him a few
days ago to take the oath of allegi'
snee. The New York newspapers
which report the remarks Of the Jus
tiee say that the address caused con
adorable stir in the courtroom, espec'
tally when he repeatedly declared
that any applicant vino had n idea
Of retaining partial allegiance to the
county whose citizenship he wai
abandoning had better withdraw be
fore taking the oath.
Justice Xelby. in the course OF his
solemn talk 20 tie men about TO be

Editorial Comment
on Current Subjects
DIPLOMACY AND COMMON GOSSIP

Diplomacy seems uncommonly like
village gossip if the importance that
is laid upon Mr.. Bryan's talk with
Ambassador Dumba is justified. We
do not know what Mr.. Bryan said to
Ambassador Dumba. Quite possibly
it was highly improper and mislead-
ing. But if 1t led Germany to respond
more gently to a note which might
have been taken as provocative, we
are inclined to think that no harm was
done in that instance. Nevertheless,
it showed that prodigious harm might
be done by either a minister or an
incompetent Secretary OF State under
existing conditions.-E. Y. American.

British Look For Call
For General Election In
December to Aid Asquith

London, Eng, Nov. 1S.-The belief is
current in some political circles that a
general election will take place in De-
cember. The fact that nothing has
been done so far with respect to the
parliament act, which will compel a
general election not later than January
next unless suspensory act becomes
law in the meantime, leads many peo-
pie to believe that this will be the
means used to force an appeal to the
country.
Ihere are some who support the idea
OF an election, on the ground that pre-
mter Asquith stands in need Of an IN
mlstakable vote of confidence from the
ration But on the other hand, there is
a Tar larger number Of members who
would regard an election as neither
necessary nor polite.

Tides in Love.
There are tides in love as there are
IN the ocean; there are times when the
tide Iuns very low: there are certain
shores where the tide goes out for

and the tide runs high.
There are certain temperaments that
