The Legislature and Prohibition.

The most important of the matters
with which the next Legislature will
have to deal is that of prohibition.
The question voted and carried at the
September election last year did not
settle the matter by any means, and
the Legislature will be called upon
by their dry" constituents to strength
en- the law so that we have prohibit
ton in this State--reai prohibition.
!. In fact, II is going to be hard sled
ding for the candidates whose views
on this question are not well known:
and still harder for those whose views
are known to oppose prohibition in its
strictest sense. The battle for prohi-
bition in Virginia is only fairly begun.
The election OF last September showed
only the sentiment of the people and
the work to carry out the wishes of
the people az expressed in that cleo
ton is yet to be done. Legislatures
for several sessions to come will Nave
to combat the problem. and the best
plan lis to elect only those whose views
are we'll known and who favor pro-
hibition, both because 1t Is right and
because II Is the wish of the majority
OF the people of Virginia. Candidates
should speak out and let the people
know exactly where they stand.
There should be no side-stepping
of the issue and the people will not
listen to him who seeks to evade the
question. They want plain statements
and plain statements they should
have.-Chase City Progress.

several weeks ago. Paris, alleged to
have been short" in his accounts
with the insurance company, was car
ried before Walter Fulford, magis-
trate, for an investigation. A. Castet,
a leading butcher here, signed his
bond. Later Mr.. Castet learned that
Paris was about to leave the city. and
he had Policeman II. Whitford carry
him TO jail. where he was accepted by
Jailer E. j. Bayliss and put In a cell.
The case came up In court and as
there were no charges against Paris,
the judge released him. The suit in

successfully maintain that officers OF
the law who violate that law. fragrant
ly. frequently, boastfully, are in the
least fitted to hold those offices. No
man can successfully maintain that
the enforcement of the law Is not
impeded, not only indirectly, but d.
rectly, by the presence of such men in
ONCE. Neither can ii be successfully
denied that such men should be re-
moved from office, as the very least
punishment of an outraged society.
Theirs Is the responsibility for evil
conditions allowed to exist by the nom
enforcement of the law.
But we cannot stop with the re-
moval of officers. when the system that
allowed them TO abuse their powers
remains. Thus the section of the re-
port dealing with improvements in the
police system forms the basis for
building up In the future a more ef-
ficient agency for the enforcement of
the law. A larger force, more GEN.
tralized authority. better hours. and
greater efficiency in every department
of police work, are the results that the
city expects within the police depart
ment at the same time 1t expects that
department TO enforce to the letter
I the laws of the State and of the city.

of the most important public docu-
ments every placed before the Rich
mond City Council; as such II should
receive the most careful and earnest
consideration.

whether this failure" will not bring
down on us the adverse Judgment of
posterity. American honor" Is not to
be determined by continental criticism.
We have dealt thus at langth with
one phase OF the article as setting
for another. Mr. Wister defends vieor-
ously the German people in the mass.
the rural communities. the outlying
cities; and draws the conclusion that
the influence of Berlin and the Berlin
atmosphere is the discordant note in
the German symphony which finally
drove him back TO allegiance to his
native land. This is all very we'll and
perfectly legitimate, but one reading
the article cannot fail to see that
while MIR. wister has taken the Ger
man people In the mass and pro-
nounced them worthy of the highest
admiration. In ell save their submits
sion to the imperial Berlin influence,
he has taken az comparative people
OF New York city.
He has compared them not with the
American people in the nass, but with
certain characteristics of the people
of New York city. He conceives OF
Germany as being led astray by Der.
lin; and yet when comparing the GUS
toms of the rural German with those
OF Americans he does not take rural
America. but New York America
Everybody knows there is not only but
one New York in America, but only
one In the world. Things that happen
in that city are no more to be found
in the countryside of America than
they are to be found in the country
side of Germany. and by taking this
improper standard OF comparison Mr..
Wister has not given proper credit to
his own countrymen for their really
valuable and national characteristics.
