The othcr :@E4dnk'' Has come.
Editor virginian:
sir,-~In its issue of Thursday the
Evening Journal says that "Fairplay''
has another think coming" It has
already come. II came as soon as
''Fairplay'' read the Journals crtti-
cism OF his first think" His second
think is this: In these perilous
times we have all sorts of inspec-
tors-food, medical. physical and
mental. But Richmond needs
another, to-wtt: petition inspector;
and IL goes without saying that the
editor Of the Evening journal is the
very man for the place. Unless the
good people of Richmond do not wish
to be humbugged. they should require
every man who wishes to circulate a
petition to submit 1T before doing
SO to the duly constituted petition
inspector the editor of the Evening
journal. and get his permission to do
so. OF course, the journal knows that
the people OF Richmond are too dense
to know u bad petition from a good
one. Hence the necessity OF the cleo
ton of the Journals editor to that i'm
portant office.
But the Journal editor has also
fallen into quite a com mon error these
days, which is this: That all men
outside OF his own way Of thinking are
destitute OF those qualities of good
citizenship which he possesses along
with those who think like him, and
that the other set are composed OF
those who have no love for righteous
ness and fair dealing. Mitchell. OF
New York, late candidate for mayor
In that city, argued the same way. but
tho voters of New York showed him
they thought otherwise
In short. we think the editor OF the
Evening Journal will have another
think" OF his own coming soon.
Yours,
FAIRPLAY.

GOVERNOR PROCLA|MS
DAY OF THANKSGIVING
America, Thankful IN Times Past For
Peace, should Now he Grateful
For Opportunity For High
Service.

Last night the governor of Virginia
Issued his annual Thanksgiving procla-
nation. The paper is an eloquently-
worded document and refers especially
to the opportunity for service pre-
sented the American people. It fol-
lows:
ITO the People OF Virginia:
For many years II has been our
haliowed custom as people to set
aside in each year a day of special
thanksgiving for the blessings which
have been vouchsafed to us by mer-
cfful providence. In other years we
expressed our gratitude for the boun-
ties of nature. for our material pros
perity as a nation, and for the added
blessings OF an abiding peace through
the years we have been served. Now
we are given the opportunity and
privilege, individually and collectively
of serving others. Out of The gloom
of world conflict and above our own
national peril, "a new light" as our
president says, Shines about us" 1t
dispela the darkness in which we have
been CROPPING in the search for truth
1t lights the path of duty and H.
lumines the minds and hearts of men,
making plain the purposes and motives
that dwell therein. 1t brings to US
the spirit of brotherhood. 1t has SUBJ
dued party feeling. factional differ
ences and racial prejudices and has
given us as never before the conscious
realization and with 1t the power of
national unity In preserving the free
dom which we won with so much tribu-
lation. and In rendering to the world
the inestimable service of destroying
the source of common danger to the
peace of mankind. Not the least bless
ing for the future is the lesson OF
sacrifice. lesson which we have barely
begun to learn.
"Now. therefore, I. acting under the
laws of Virginia. do proclaim Thurs
day. November 20. 1917. Thanksgiving
day. and do earnestly hope that II may
be a day of genuine gratitude to God
for His mercies and blessings, day
in which we shall honor Him az the
Lord OF Hosts and the Giver of Vic
tories; a day of earnest petition to Elm
for a higher courage and a purer pa
triotism in meeting the great duties to
which we have been called, humbly
submitting ourselves TO His guidance
in the days and months of trial that
are to come.
I'm witness whereof, I have hersunto
set my hand. and caused the lesser
seal of the commonw eaith to be az
fixed. at Richmond. this the 18th day
of November in the year of our Lord
one thousand nine hundred and seven
teen, and In the one hundred and for
ty-second year OF the commonwealth.

NEW MEXICO COURT
RtvfRStS DIST. COURT
Rules That 5000 Tax In Mt Er.
cessfve-IAGaor Business Ii Dctrf-
mental to Public Welfare.

When the Gallup city council In
Mckinley county, N. Mex. increased
the wholesale liquor license fee from
$500 to $4,000. some of the dealers
protested the increase. alleging that
such fee was "a prohibition against
the operation of wholesa Ie LIQUOR
houses In Gallup"
The district court of MCKINLEY
county sustained the wholesale deal
ers in'this contention. The city coun-
Gil then carried the case UP to the
supreme court, which has handed
down ties decision reversing the dis
trict court. In the opinion of the
higher court 1t is declared. that the
charge that the license Ia prohibitive
OF the business In question ID not
material
The sylhbu is as follows:
The ordinary useful occupations
may be taxed. but the tax must be so
Iaid as not to be prohibitive OF the
business. This doctrine has no ap.
pIication to such occupations AZ are
detrimental to the public welfare, but
are nevertheless tolerated The bust
ness OF the Wholesale liquor dealer,
under the power conferred by chapter
2s, lawn of 1918. upon municipali-
Ties to license. regulate, or prohibit
the sale Of liquors. may be taxed In
any sum within the discretion OF the
municipality, and the fact that tho
charge laid Is prohibitive OF the BUSH
ness Is in,material."
