GVEVIEWS HISTORY OF
LIQUOR LEGISLATION

The State of Virginia has from its
earliest history. legisln,cC on these
subjects. The first General Assembly
of virginia. the first on this CONT
nenD convened at jamestown in 1919
enacted laws and penalties on these
matters. Such laws modified to suit
the changing times have been in effect
ever since. Under State authority the
courts have always had the authority
and power to grant or not to grant
n license to sell liquor and to punish
those who violate its mandates.
The evils of the traffic in liquor
were apparent more than 100 years
ago and movement was started to
in fluenco public opinion on the uucs
ton. The war of 1865 caused a halt
in those endeavors but long since the
subject was again taken up and public
opinion asserted itself. In "a series Of
years nearly every county Of the
State voted against the liquor license
within its boundaries. At length the
General Assembly of Virginia enact
ed a bill submitting the matter to the
electorate of the State. The people
themselves in their sovereign right
voted in 1914 by a majority Of over
10000 to abolish the sale from the
State to take effect November l, 1916.
The State in it's sovereign capacity
has spoken through the General AS
sembly and through the electorate.
It's word is there shall be no moro
granting Of license for the sale Of
liquor.

SOWELL'S FRIENDS REGARD
REPORT AS HIS VINDICATION

Forcmr Chief OF Police j. r. B. Sow
ell reiterated his former statements
and emphasized the position taken by
him as Chief OF Police. 81 look at
matters as 7 did formerly. I have
nothing to say" However it is known
that his numerous friends arc jubi--
liant over what they claim to no a com
plctc vindication.
At present There is much discus
sion as TO the status of the men re
commended by the grand jury for dis
missal. There is n dispute as to wheth
or the report Of the grand jury in
these cases was meant to be the begin
ming Of suits Of custer proceedings or
merely as advice for the guidance Of
the Mayor. In the event that these 70
concentrations take the form OF Gus
ter proceedings we'll informed people
assert that it is logical that these men
will be suspended until they either
prove their innocence or are found
guilty in court. If these recommended
tons arc merely intended as advice to
tho Mayor for his conduct Of the Pc
lice Department Of which he is tho
official head it remains to be seen to
what extent he will be guided by the
grand jury's advice.
AS yet Mayor Anslie has given no
indication Of his probable action.
