IT'S COMING
BY lewis n. Horton, Assistant
superintendent Anti-Saloon
League of Washington

After each one of my speeches the
people flock about me with congratu-
lations and everywhere they are say
ing, "Its coming" Il tell you, the
nations sure TO go dry"
Now. ar one who has spent eleven
years In the trenches, as one who has
gone over the top in many OF these
campaigns. let me say 1t is not com
ing at all. This nation will never
go dry" If we ever get prohibition
we will have to go after it, and If the
United States is ever freed from the
rsvages OF alcohol it will have TO be
put dry BY tremendous effort.
There never will be another saloon
closed unless some one does hard
work. Never n city nor a county nor
state IL brought into the prohibition
camp without a struggle that costs
time and money and sacrifices.
And before America goes dry every
man and woman who Is opposed 10
strong drink must enlist to do his or
her bit and not stop, either when IL
lis done.
We might as well quit kidding our
selves II we are not prepared TO en-
dure hardship we may az well re-
treat now.
Prohibition is moi coming. II can
only be had when we go after 1t with
concerted determination.

HELP the Home Of the Homeless.
Editor Virginian.
Sir There is very modest aud
worthy institution wholly dependent
upon voluntary contribution for itg
maintenance. and does very little So
Letting. Reference is TO the Bethany
Home for homeless Children. which is
situated in Chesterfield county. near
Richmaud and maintained chiefly by
w p, Isongworth, one of Richmond s
well known citizens. This note in to
suggest that Christmas stockings sent
to Mr.. Longworth for the thirty~fiVe
children living there would gladden. as
ulapy little hearts who have no home
OF their own for Santa Claus TO visit.
Bethany home is we'll deserving OF
more general recognition than II ys-
ceivss, and Mr. Longworth should be
encouraged in his useful and unset
tSsh service The home comprises lis
tic farm and dormitories, The little
ones are in charge of . matron, and
are given schooling and technical
training along several practical lines.
It is good institution In good hands.
Remember the home for homeless lit
tie hearts while tho Christmas bells
are ringing.
