No Prison Term
GiUen This Month
Unique Situation in Hastings
Court Is attributed to
Prohibition Statute.

For the first time in moro than thir-
~ years. and how much longer il is
not known. there have been no per-
sons given sentences TO the State Pcni-
Tertiary at term of the liuStinrs
Court. Court officers generally re-
Garded the unique situation as due
to the successful working OF the pro.
hibition statute.
The announcement was made yes
terdaT by Walter Christian, clerk OF
the Hustings Court. MIR. Christia II
was on the point OF making out tran
scripts of the record. which are neccs-
sary for the transfer of prisoners in
the City Jail. who were convicted in
this court. TO the penitcntiary. lie
discovered that none had been scntenc,
ed to the state prison at the Dccem-
Der term. which had to do with of
lenses committed during the previous
month, November, the first month in
which Virginia experienced prohibit
ton.
This is the first time in my expert
cnce as clerk and as deputy clerk OF
this court that we have not found il
necessary to make out transcripts
transferring prisoners from the Jail
to the pcnitcntiary. said MIR.
Christian, who has been deputy and
clerk of the court for many years.
The situation is remarkable" he add
cd. ''and is due TO nothing else OK
cept the abolition of the saloon in
Richmond In recent years it has been
the custom of transferring each month
from tho Jail to the peuitentiary ten
or fifteen prisoners. who have been

WILSON FLEXIBILITY.

We do not see why there should have
discovery that President Wilson has
completely reversed himself in the mat
ter of the proposed child labor law.
Senator Borah was able to show that
Mr. Wilson described this legisla-
ton i'll his constitutional Govern
ment" as unconstitutional, an ''obvi-
ously absurd extravaganza" carrying
the congressional power to regulate
commerce beyond the utmost boun-
daries of reasonable and honest infer
ence" and making it possible, if sus-
tanned, for congress to legislate over
every particular of the industrial or
ganiZation and action of the country"
That, we must confess has also been
the Evening Posts view. But the
Evening Post and Senator Borah are
old fogies, dating back to the time
when it was the custom to have fixed
beliefs and principles and stick to
them. The senator has evidently not
read Mr. Wilson's letter in explaining
his change of front on the tariff COM
mission-that it is only narrow man,
whose mind is stupidity closed to new
ideas, who does not alter his opinions
By this test Mr. Wilson is obviously
one of the broadcast minded men this
country has ever produced, for he has
changed his mind to date on the initial

frage the tariff commission, tariff for

MILWAUKEE,, WIS.-The smallest
vote ever cast in a Wisconsin cleo
ton has entirely upset all calculations
of Wisconsin political leaders on the
battle to unseat Senator La Toilette
by defeating him with the stand-pat
candidate, M. c. Jeffris in the sena-
torial Republican primary.
There is only about One-third the
normal vote in Dane county, one OF
his strongholds, and the first state re-
turns was from Waukesha county
where LaFollette lost precinct
which has been for him for sixteen
years without a break
Upstate LaFollette territory early
returns showed anti-LaFollette gains.
Owing to there being two progress
sive Republican candidates for gov
ernor, the incumbent, E. L. Phillip,
conservative, is far in the lead of his
rivals, w. H. Hatton, La Toilette man,
and F. H. McGovern, former Bull
Mooser.
