MR.. SCHIFF TALKS.
marion Democrat.)


AT the banquet of the Republican
Club of New York the other day, Mr..
Jacob H. Schiff, well known banker
of that city and a shrewd business
man who has the country's best well
fare at heart, said something which
Republicans generally should ponder
seriously. We quote him:
81 am a Republican-Democ !
voted for President Wilson, the first
Democrat for whom l cast my vote
for President for fifty years. | want
to explain that my heart is for the
Republican party, but my common
sense makes me a Democrat.
~ didn't expect that much" Mr.
Schiff said in response to the single
handicap that greeted his remarks
"but l want to explain further that
nothing can stop that great pros
perity we have now except a renewal
of tariff agitation in the next cam.
paign.
Standing here on holy Republican
ground, say without fear or favor
if you renew in the next campaign
the tariff agitation of the past; if yo,
threaten the country and show it yo,
want a renewal of special privileg,
and high protection, the people will
have none of it. The pepole hav,
learned; the workmen have Learned
and the farmers have learned, ant
they cannot be misled any longer"

WEBSTER SLAPPED; SLApPER IS
ASSESSED $40 AND COSTS.

The colored Odd Fellows hall, mid
way between this city and North Taze-
we'll was the scene of a fracas last
Saturday night between one William
Moatman and William Webster, both
colored. Moaltman was charged with
slapping Webster and otherwise beat
ing him up. Mayor Hawthorne as
sessed fine of ten and costs, amount
ing t. some thirteen bones. MoaIt-
mans wife, rather than see her club
by" doing manual labor on the streets,
hustled about and got up the money
and paid the fine. According to Ser
geant Thompson, Moaltman is a man
who has no particular calling, in fact.
work is not what he is looking for.
The sergeant advises that there are
a number of others, both whites and
blacks, who spend most Of heir time
loafing around, and tn t hereafter the
vasrancy law will be put in force,
and tn e sports put to work on the
streets if they won't work anywhere
else. Work is plentiful everywhere,
and there is no excuse whatever for
able bodied men loafing around all the
time living off of those who do work.

BUSTLE AND STIR.

1t is a very common phrase among
the unconverted and even some pro-
Tossing Christians that "The churcl
doesn't save anybody" Then, in the
name of truth, what is the church
for?
1t cost so much TO establish the
church, and it has cost so much To
maintain it, and it will cost much to
continue it, and the cost is not simply
money. 1t costs thought, time and
service, cares, prayers, and tears, love
and blood and life. And this enor-
nous price is paid by God, angels and
men. Then. if it be true that "Thc
church doesn't save anybody" why all
this sacrifice. Where the condcmna-
tion if men stay out? Does the church
sanction this untruth, this slogan of
hell? Certainly not. How can any
man who knows what the church of
Jesus Christ is, or what it's mission
is, subscribe to such statement?
The church must win the world, not
by false statements of her weakness
and insufiiciency, but by true state
ments of her power and suflicicncy.

WELL.
Mr.. Editor:

Mr.. Editor:
For years the Anti-Saloon League
of Virginia has been fighting for an
absolutely dry state. AT no time has
the League ever said that anything
short of that would be satisfactory.
In accepting the Map bill the League
by no means takes it as final. but only
for the much good that it has in il.
and as all that can be obtained mt this
time, with the public declaration and
avowed purpose that the fight Is still
on for complete victory-an abso-
lutely dry Virginia.
have heard number of people
express regrets that the Mapp bill
was not sweeping enough, and object
Especially to the drug store feature
of the bill. This bill as it now is be-
fore the Senate has been greatly i'm
proved and the safeguards thrown
around the sale of liquor by druggists
are very drastic; in addition to these
we will have a commissioner of prohi-
bition, his assistants and the custer
law; in view of these conditions l can
hardly conceive how a druggist dare
violate the law, knowing that detec-
tion in one offense would suspcnd
him from business and the second or
third violation takes his license and
drives him out of the business in
Virginia. A druggist can only sell
one-half pint and that on prescrip.
tion of a reputable physician after
he has made physical examination
of the patient, and further the doe
tor must make oath that the linuor
is necessary for the patients afIlic.
ton.
Whv permit liquor to be sold for
any purpose: First, because the en-.
abling act promised that liquor could
be sold for medicinal purposes and in
the second place enough Senator's de.
mand that this clause be incorporated
in the bill, or they will defeat It with.
out it.
The Mapp bill is very long one
few people have seen 1t, and fewer
have read it. have read and stud
led it carefully and while it is moi
all we hoped it would be, it is Sc
near what we want, that / beg ant
entreat prohibition people to stant
for it and by it with enthusiasm. Oul
leaders are composed of the best anf
most intelligent people OF. the State
lets trust them. 'tDon't rock tn,

banner unfurled, Virginia will be dry
Many of the wet people of the Stat,
have suddenly become dry, q sthc dry

picion in my mind, and l advise al
