Raising a Ghost

THE Republicans Of this State found
l themselves in dire extremity for an
issue upon which to wage their coming cam
paign when they selected the false one Of
prohibition being put in jeopardy by the
election Of a Democratic administration
They charge in their platform. adopted at
Roanoke. that such administration. III placed
in power. will seek any favorable opportunity
to restore the liquor traffic in the State.
This bold effort to switch public attention
from issues germano to the campaign in
the hope OF infusing new life into the steadily
waning vitality Of their thoroughly dis
credited organization by reviving an issue
long since settled by the people of the State,
will signally fail of it's purpose, for the Vir-
GINA electorate is not to be easily de-
ceived. They realize that it is an invitation
to renewal of strife and dissension. from
which they have happily relieved the Com
monwealth. The Democratic party asks the
SURFACES of the people upon it's record of
achievement during its uninterrupted tenure
of power since redeeming the State from
Republican misrule. and that record shows
no failure of its pledges to the people-no
violated trust-but on the contrary, an un-
wavering adherence to high standards OF
governmental efficiency and progressive
policies promotive OF the public veal. it has
no fear that the voters OF the State will
fail in continuing it in power by an increased
majority over previous elections. Moreover.
the line of Republican reasoning in its EFFORT
to make capital by injecting the dead issue
Of prohibition into the contest, finds its
sufficient answer in the results of the opera
ton of the law under the present admins
tration, which comes within the Republican
indictment of chose who have not always
opposed this great moral movement"
Virginia has not the least anxiety that
the enforcement of the prohibition laws will
be less strict under the incoming administra-
ton than under the present which has lacked
nothing in vigor and in benefcent results
attained. The day for frightening Virginia
voters with boyle men has passed.

StranSling Germany

DRESIDENT WILSON believes that the
l operation Of rigid embargo against all
goods and supplies that might possibly reach
Germany will go further toward ending the
war than armies navies, flying fleets or
ships We have this upon the word OF the
closest advisers Of the executive, and we
may readily believe that he places vast i'm
portance in the execution of the export con-
troll which Congress has put in his hands
The publication of the additional list of
articles which the government will allow to
be shipped abroad only by special license
shows the tightness with which this govern
ment is drawing the economic ropes about
the neck of Germany. 1t shows that no
product OF America. admittedly the store
house Of the world. which might conce!vably
be OF military value to the Germans will be
permitted TO reach German soil. And when
the term military value" is used, it is
meant to apply to the needs of the civilian
or noncombatant population of the empire
quite as much as to the Kaiser's fighting
forces. 1t may seem brutal to contribute to
the starvation Of women and children. but
In war this is a part of the game If the
Germans behind the line suffer for food, i,
is certain that the Germans in the trenches
are affected. Therefore, the military ef-
hcency OF the German machine is directly
influenced by the economic state of the
people at home
iuoh people are pelng mado to
understand by this government that the en-
forced hardships do not arise from malice or
hatred on the part of the American people
or the American government. Those hard
ships are imposed by their own autocratic
regime. If the German people want peace
and plenty again, they may attain both by
hrst throwing off the militarist power under
which they live But as long as these peo
pie elect TO support Kaiserism and Junkerism
and militarism, they must reconcile item
selves to the consequences
