A DISCONCERTTNG
UNANIAfITY.

We are somewhat disturbed and dis
concerted in respect to the temperance
situation in Virginia. The occasion
for our troubled mental condition is
most unusual. We nave been striv-
ing In our modest measure To bring
everybody whom we could reach to the
conclusion that the beverage sale of
intoxicants ought to be prohibited. On
the 22nd of September the people of
Virginia, by majority of $4,000. de-
cided that this was good policy
There were, though, around $4,000 who
went to the polls on that day and reg
istered their protest against this poll
cy. This large company of men was
led by officeholders, members of the
Legisla ture. newspaper editors and
men in public life of one sort or an
other. Now what gives us concern
at this time is the fact that. judging
by the sentiments of practically all
who are offering for public position
throughout the state. there has been
a wholesale conversion, The tens of
thousands who protested against the
Statewide law on the ground that 1T
would be an invasion of personal
rights, that II would promote fawiess-
ness and hypocrisy: that it could never
be executed, etc, etc, seem now, IL we
are to Judge by the utterances of their
leaders who are offering for public
position, to have abandoned their
views and to have accepted with even
some degree of ardor the verdict rem
dered in September.
Now we know very well, and gladly
publish the fact. that there were
many in the opposition in September
who, since that verdict was rendered
have accepted it in good faith, and,
good citizens as they are, will do their
best to see that the saloon disappears.
We count on their friendship and we
value it highly.
But surely we cannot be charged
with any unworthy hesitation or sus-
ptcion when we look askance at the
remarkable unanimity watch seems
now to prevail. even among the men
who led the liquor forces in that great
struggle. in favor of destroying the
business which they so ardently de-
Tended and advocated. There are sew
eral types of these, and we find our
selves wondering and perplexed about
them. For instance, here Is one who
was in the Legislature and was promi-
nent in resisting at every stage the
passage of the enabling act He rep
resented a community that voted wet
in September, voted wet himself. and
ablest spokesman for the liquor in
terests. In response to an inquiry con-
corning his position on these matters,
IL he should be reelected, he declares
that he will be in favor Of carrying
The Richmond Virginian. (Richmond, Va.) 1910-1920, 1915-07-24

out the will of the people as expressed
in the September election" He speaks
with apparent sincerity, and 1t Is not
our custom wantonly to charge an
individual with intention to mislead.
Ii may be, though, that he means that
he will favor letting the whole BUSH
ness of temperance legislation rest
with the passage of the enabling act.
We can see now he might say There
is your bill. adopted by popular vote.
That election not only registered The
will of the people on the general dues-
ton of Statewide prohibition. but also
actually gave the form OF legislation
which the people desired. They have
approved that act. Any further lcgis-
lation seeking to perfect that bill
would. to that extent ignore the win
of the people as then expressed"
Now let the voters look out for this
kline of friendliness (?) to the State
wide policy. The temperance people
of the State understood in September
last and have understood ever sin re
that the hastily and somewhat crudely-
drawn law was not intended to be the
final form which this legislation was
to take, but was intended to test the
popular will concerning the general
policy of Statewide prohibition. And
himself to aid In perfecting and pass
ing the necessary legislation is not
the mar TO send to- the Legislature.
Another candidate who stubborn1y
resisted and sought in every way 10
defeat the enabling act makes practi-
cally the same declaration. He says:
81 voted wet in the Legislature and
! voted against Statewide in Septem-
Der. but / regard that matter as set
tied, and I am in favor Of carrying
out the will of the people," Is he
soundly converted? That isn't an I'M
fair or ungenerous question. He per-
haps regards the exemption of wineries
and hreweries, an amendment made
necessary in order to get any sort Of
bill through the last Senate. but re-
pudiated by temperance leaders in the
Legislature, and instantly and en-
phatically repudiated nv temperance
leaders on the outside. with full no.
tice repeatedly given that no measure
which kept breweries and wineries
in operation in Virginia could ever
be acceptable to the temperance forces
he may regard this amendment as
a part of the expressed will of the
people in September. and so will JUS
tify himself in giving his influence and
vote in its favor Look little close
ly. then. into this aspect of the matter.
and by direct inquiry discover your
candidates position on this special
measure. II he is in favor of con-
tinuing the breweries and wineries. 1t
would be better not to send him tc
the legislature.
There Is yet another class OF con-
verts concerning whom we cannot re-
press rising doubt. These are the
gentlemen who were most vociferious
in denouncing the Statewide measure
and incidentally the Statewide advo-

WET OR DRY?

The resentment Of wet papers and
politicians at the insistence of tenn
perance forces in virginia on the sup
port and election to the Legislature
of undoubtedly dry candidates car
rIes them at times to illogical lengths.
The virginian pointed out previously
that the vociferous protests of wet
interests against all effort to elect
dry men. when carried to their logical
conclusion mean that not only should
dry men not be elected in the place
of wet men, but that wet men should
be put in the places now held by dry
men. In other words. II all the wet
senators who misrepresented their dis
tricts and flouted the desires of their
constituents should he retained in
their positions, by the same process
Of reasoning all the dry men who did
properly represent their constituents
should be defeated. And il would not
be at all surprising before long to
hear the Richmond Evening Journal,
or the Richmond Times Dispatch, ad-
vocating the resuscitation of the Lo-
cal elf-Government League, TO be put
in charge of framing a prohibition law
in place of the Anti Saloon League OF
Virginia
The case of Senator Bowers and Mr..
Ncwhouse. which was presented yes
terday, is paralleled in other senatorial
districts In some, dry senators are
being opposed by wet candidates. In
others, wet senators are being OPP
posed by dry candidates. In all dis
tricts the dry people are insisting on
the election of the dry men and the
wet forces on the election OF the wet
men.
BY careful examination 1t will APP
pear that the same opponents of tenn
perance reform who fought prohi-
bition In all the various forms II has
been proposed. and under all the va
rious guises under which it has been
fought, are now fighting for the cleo
ton of a wet Senate to frame dry (?)
legislation. They are aided In these
efforts by the same wet press that
has aided them in their other fights.
The Times Dispatch has expressed the
view of this element, as was to have
been expected with the greatest rude
ness and arrogance. It has fatty de-
clared the dry candidates running
against wet senators are thick headed
clods." while the wet senators it con-
siders men of judgment patriotism
and good sense Nobody expected
anything else of the Times Dispatch,
mate all dry senators thick headed
clods," and all wet candidates against
them men of good sense. patriotism
and judgment" but something moro
most ernphatically is expected of the
people of Virginia In the nomination
and election of their next Legislature.

rs TT GERMAN MONEY?

1t is probably true that German
sympathizers have been anxious to see
just this sort of thing occur. 1t Is also
true that there are those who would
not hesitate to use their money to
bring about such strikes. The ques-
ton is, however. whether American
labor can be used so easily by foreign
interests to promote their private
schemes. It is this question in which
Americans are deeply concerned.
