GOOD EFFECTS OF PROHIBITION.

~ He report OF Fred O. Blue the effects o. prohioi
ton in the state is worth considering. It shows
that since the state went dry there has been re-
duction Of so per cent in crime and per cent reduc
ton in the arrests for drunkenness Besides these good
direct effects Of prohibition there hundreds Of tnd
rect effects which be shown II statistics but
which are far reaching in their effects.
Had the reduction crime been only per cent and
the reduction in for drunkenness been oay one
percent prohibition would have scored great victory
for the state. Any which helps the state at all
no matter how small, is well worth while. In fact' II
only home saved. one man saved. through the
efforts Of prohibition it would be worth while For the
saving Of one home, the saving Of man Is worth
more than all tha; spent for liquor in the entire rni
ted States There no price human life; and one
life saved from wreck is good deed done.
Mr. Blue believes that the work 0! prohibition il West
Virginia during the past year has been more Of sue
cess than in any other which goes TO show that
the Yos law is one the prohibition laws that has
ever been enacted IN the United States.
Since the decision of the United States Supreme
Court that liquor might be shipped into the dry counties
Of Kentucky where Intended Tor personal use and the
submission OF the amendment 10 the Yost Law 10 the
court there has been considerable speculation as 10 the
result The consensus OF opinion that liquor will new
er again be shipped this state The results OF
prohibition have been far reaching that there is little
possibility of the Law being changed in way to allow
possibility Of the return TO the old days.
Of the cities the border lines OF the states in
vet territories have felt some evil effects from the state
going dry bu: late reports these sections show that
conditions have been improved greatly.
That prohibition is good thing can not be denied
The jump from wet TO dry may confusion
at the start but adjusts ts; and then there IS
sure TO be great upitt Booze uenace-the great
est menace in the world. And it is only question OF
time until there will be nation vide prohibition and
when all the liquor made in the Uaited States will be
made by the government and used for medica! purposes
only
hasten that day.

VIRGIL HIGHLANDS ELECTION.

THE election Of Virgil l. Highland to membership
on the national Republican committee is TO be
commended. The election Of Mr.. Highland as
representative Of West Virginia will be considered
good by practically every Republican in the state
He is undoubtedly the for the place and well fitted
for the duties which the new office places upon his
shoulders The election proved the popularity Of Mr.
Highland as every vote cast until the time when ua
tory had voted for the Claksourg man none had cast
dissenting and 1t is confidently expected that the
election Of Mr.. Highland will be made unanimous when
the other votes have been counted.
The election Of Mr.. Highland to the national commit
tee practically eliminates him from the campaign for
Governor OF the state Of West Virginia or for place
the United States senate His election the national
committee therefore the contest for Governor
be fought between ]. S Darst and Judge Ira Rob
tnson Both men are strong candidates for the
position Of chief executive Of the state and have large
following all the state especially in their own ter
ritory Mr. Darst halls from the southern part OF the
state and will undoubtedly get large vote from that
section, while Judge Robinson is Of the best known
men IN northern West Virginia and will give Of tns
candidates stiff fight for the office.
The next state election is going Of the keen
est campaigns that has been waged. This is evil
dent by the fact that all candidates for the various
offices to which will be elected have started their
campaigns early and will be the firing line from now
until the election is over.
It is practically sure thing that Governor HATFIELD
viii be strong for the office Of United States sena
tor While the Governor himself has made no lorna!
announcement that he will be candidate for the Office,
there is good believe that he will be in the
fight from the start to finish and he will undoubtedly
make things lively for all his opponents The present
governor of the state of West Virginia is of &C
ton and ability, and he gets his hat in the ring
It will be fight to the finish He has strong follow
ing all over the and stands excellent chance to
get the nomination and the election, he starts his
campaign
