The Drouqth in viroinia,

The advent of Virginia dry" column is hailed with joy by the anti-saoon organizations Eighteen states, according the satisticians are now dry" The Virginia law is one of the most drastic passed against the sale of liquor. No beverage except cider be sold that shows trace of alcohol. Possession of than one gallon of whiskey, gallon of wine, or three gallons of beer will be regarded as prima facie evi- dence of intent violate the law. But what is ex- pected to make the law most effective is provision providing that custer proceedings may be brought against state municipal authorities who are lax in enforcing the law. A commission is created to supervise local authorities keep them keyed up their duties
 An custer provision would have been strengthening to our own law Kansas found that it was necessary to the enforcement the there. So far however our authorities have shown such vigilance and de- termination in the enforcement of the law that we may be able to along without it. But in case of laxity, we think the people would quickly supply an custer provision.
 There Is matter in connection with the law that lawyers are not quite agreed upon and several anxious inquiries have been made at this office whether the possession of quor imported into this state for personal use previous January 1 of next year will be a crime It is the opinion of some lawyers that it will be. while others hold that the prohibition against possession will apply only to liquors that are brougtt into the state unlawfuly; that is after the law making their importation a crime goes into effect

Unanswerable at Present.

What about Hunt and Campbell?" is still the in- ouiry most frequently heard. And it cannot be sats factory answered until after the official count next Monday. Campbell appears to have lead now with unofficial practically complete. On that the newspapers of the generally agreed and their figures the main support those of the repub- lican central committee The democratic com mittee has another set of figures which give Hunt a slight lead. Those figures based partly on re- turns and partly the recollection of persons who attended elections in remote precincts talked with persons who pretended to remember in general way 5omethng about the Hunt Campbell vote
 The official vote will doubt result in changes from the unofficial returns, copied hastily from the figures in the polling places late election night or in the gray of the following morning. AL leady there have been changes in the unofficial turns from several of the counties after they had been sent out complete and correct" These changes were made after the opportunity to compare the returns the official figures had passed the locked up in the treasurers vaults of various counties.
 And then in the of recount, is certain that there would be changes back and forth, mounting up ilto the hundreds. This is why it is impossible to answer the question: What about Hunt and Camp bell?"

A Crime Against Mankind.

committee of women investigating the cause of high prices in Illinois, found that carloads of potatoes had been dumped into the Illinois river to hold up the market" Words totally inadequate for the proper condemnation of such proceedings. They equivalent to forcing semi-starvaton the poor, making burglary, piracy, and most other crimes ap- pear actually respectable by comparison Preliminary
 investigations of the high prices of coal in New York City bring the news that the federal investigators convinced that if there is a conspiracy to boost prices is local affair and should be handled by state authorities, while investigators claim that if conspiracy has been formed it is nationwide in it's scope and should be handled by federal invesga- tors. These incidents show how helpless the people are when it to coping with schemes for their exploitation The Germans tried the experiment of creating the office of food dictator for the purpose of holding down prices News comes that his over throw is imminent because powerful land owners are offended over the figures at which he fixed maximum prices If the problem of preventing the imitation of the prices of the necessities of life beyond sou- ton in highly organized like Germany what hope is there of remedy being found in the easy going United States?

Ambitious Pacific Coast Fisheries.

It would appear, from report compiled for the United States Bureau of Fisheries by John N Cobb. that the enterprising people of the Pacific seriously competing with New England generally and Boston in particular in the salt codfsh industry. The report plainly forshadows division of the trade with California and Washington towns. greatly the danger of the New England monopoly
 According this authority, various unsuccessful attempts have been made increase and utilize the capital lost in what many shrewd business regard a hopeless venture. The New England industry highly organized that it possible place the product the market prices which attractive to people of moderate means. But conditions have materially changed with the general advance in the of food products The to be a luxury although the supply of fish has in- creased diminished. is course, that the preserved product is supplied in more attractive form, but this improvement does reconcile the average householder the payment of 25 cents pound for it.
 It is more than probable that the competition be- tween the New England and Pacific coast cod fish cries will ultimately result in benefit to the CTS of the salted product. Competition will lead to the introduction of still efficient and economi- cal processes of preservation thereby further improv ing the quality. and must in the of other California and Washington products keep prices at a reasonable level
 During recent years the export demand for the preserved fish has been very large and until quite recently New England has had virtual monopoly It is predicted by government experts this trade well as the home commerce in the commodity, will hereafter be divided between the two coasts.
