THE, DRUG STORE. AND PRO.
HIBITION
Rev. Dr. r. II. Pitt, in Religious Herald

ever, in order TO meet the wishes OF as
many people as possible. went a little
further in this matter of intoxicants
than even the United States has gone
in tho Harrison act concerning habit
forming narcotics.
The proposed bill provides that the
applicant must procure license from
the circuit court, and that in order to
do so he must show that he is a quail
fled voter OF good moral character.
registered pharmacist with bona
fide drug business. and that necessity
exists for the granting of his license.
The court must be satisfied that such
sale of ardent spirits by the applicant
Is not contrary to public policy or in
furious to the moral or material in
terest OF the community. The bill fur
Their provides that If a majority of the
qualified voters OF the district or town
petition against the application, II
shall not be granted. In towns and
cities the Council Is allowed to pro-
hibit by ordinance the sale OF ardent
spirits by drug stores. SO the bill
makes provision for the correction OF
any abuses that may arise, II such sale
ia conducted in a way unsatisfactory
to the community, and II the drug
store becomes a nuisance. the remedy
is at hand. The community itself can
abate II.
The other question which con-
fronted the trainers of the bill con-
cerned the restrictions to be put upon
druggists in handling ardent spirits
for the purposes named. We haven't
space to go into these in detail. but
must content ourselves with saying to
the people that they are as rigid and
drastic as it Is practicable to make
them; that the law in this respect is
more severe and complete than that
of any other prohibition State.
With this information before them
we are sure our brethren will under
stand that we are doing the best we
can to get the soundest, most thor
oughgoing and most practicable legis-
lation possible for carrying out the
will of the people.
The Richmond Virginian. (Richmond, Va.) 1910-1920, 1916-02-27

If we are taking more than usual OF
our editorial space In explaining the
prohibition legislation, no apology, we
are sure, Is necessary. We are in a
critical stage of this whole business,
and our people are beyond doubt deep
ly interested in 1t.
The drug store as a place of sale for
purposes recognized by the new law
has so often been in similar conditions
nuisance that some Of our people
were surprised and disappointed that
the bill made any provision whatever
for such sale.
Let them. however. be fully in
formed about this feature OF the bill
before they make up their judgments.
Here are some of the facts which
must be borne in mind.
The enabling act, under whose gen.
eral authority this legislation is pro-
ceeding. promised distinctly to make
provision for the sale of ardent spirits.
under suitable restrictions. for medi-
cinal, pharmaceutical and sacrament
tai purposes In some way. OF course.
this requirement of the enabling act
must be met or we should be guilty of
bad faith with the voters. 1t may be
said at once that the enabling act also
provided for the continuance OF the
breweries and wineries with permits
sion to manufacture and ship out of
the Etate. But the two stand In very
different relations to the whole ques-
ton. The brewertes and wineries
amendment was declared unaccept-
able even before the bill was passed
by the Senate. and throughout the
campaign. through the public press,
on the stump and in every other way
open to them, the friends and advo-
Gates of the passage of the enabling
act put the people on notice that If
the act was passed they and all the
temperance people in the State would
ask the Legislature to repeal this
amendment, and 1t was fully under
stood by vets and drys alike that this
course would be followed in the event
that the enabling act was parsed. This
was not true though of the provision
of the bill allowing the sale for medi-
cinal, pharmaceutical and Sacramen-
tai purposes, This provision was re-
garded as reasonable and We should
break faith with the voters il. without
further instructions from them, we
undertook 10 set ii aside. We keep
faith with them when we close the
wineries and breweries.
The trainers of the bill, then. had
before them on this aspect of the pro-
posed legislation two problems: First.
What was the best and most practi-
cable provision that could be made for
such sale? After long and mature de-
liberation, not unaware of the perils
and with some dread of the abuses
which are likely to accompany such
provision. they decided that the drug
store was perhaps the best agent for
such sale. At the present time mar
CotiCs such as opium and its various
derivatives, morphine. heroin. etc,
and cocaine are sold in the drug stores
under the Harrison act. No such re-
strictions as this act provides sur
round any other business place. The
druggist is permitted. under the Har-
rison act, to dispense these deadly
habit-forming drugs, and. presumably,
under similarly rigid restrictions. is
the best men in view to. dispense In
toxicauts for the purposes named.
The trainers of the legislation. how

Written into the whiskey drama OF
Virginia. a long and tragic role. is
an episode of unusual interest. About
thirty-five years ago the Legislature
OF Virginia passed a law giving the
judges of the county courts to power
to grant license to sell liquor in the
various counties of the State. provided
"A suitable place and a suitable per-
son could be found to sell it"
Under that statute most OF the
county judges did grant license to
sell liquor in their respective counties.
At this time when sentiment in Vir-
ginia was anything but strong. IT
so happened that Judge @. w. Cor
nett was county Judge OF Grayson

enough to take a stand. which at that

TWO GENERATIONS OF TEMPERANCE ADVOCATES

time was, indeed, heroic, and which
proved to be an entering wedge to
local option in Virginia, and. conse-
quently. to Statewide prohibition.
Many applications came for local
license to Judge Cornett from diff
ferent parts of his county. but in
every instance he ruled that he did
not deem the person a suitable per-
son nor the place a suitable place TO
sell liquor. The vets of the county,
in desperation, finally presented Pc
tition to Judge Cornett, asking that
the judge grant a license to man
who was held in the highest esteem by
the citizens OF the county, and who
was a close personal friend of the
Judge. They petitioned through him
so as to be practically certain there
should be no grounds whatsoever on
which license could be refused.
They asked that he be allowed to sell
at the county seat-Independence
Those who entertained the hope
that there would now be no doubt
that this man would receive a license.
were astounded and overcome when
this discovered that the Judge was
still unmoved in his determination to
grant no license at all. When the
people asked Judge Cornett why he
would not grant this man. whom
everybody considered of estimable
worth, a license to sell liquor, the
Judge replied: IT do not refuse to
grant him a license because / do not
think him good enough, but because
think he Is too good. and I do not
consider that there Is any place In
the country suitable for the whiskey
business"
Thus the whiskey interest in Vir-
ginia received its first defeat at the
hands of the law, and there has never
since that time been a barroom in
Grayson County. The influence of that
ruling from the bench thirty-fve
years ago has spread and intensified,
until today we have Statewide prohi-
bition, and are on the happy road
