'OlD VETS TO QUIT LYING;
GIVE YOUNG VETS CHANCE
Members OF Lee Camp to Accept OfYcr
For Lots on Boulevard.

Comrades, for more than fifty
years we have been lying about what
we did for the Yanks from 81 to '65.
and from now on think we should
keep quiet and give our young vet
Grams chance
Thus spoke Adjutant Gus Pea. vet
eran of the War Between the States
at regular meeting of Lee Camp
United Confederate Veterans in their
EAST Broad street hall last night
Though Adjutant Pea is the comedian
of Lee Camp and none of the bewhisk-
cred vets take him seriously as a gen.
eral thing, all of them seemed to think
that he was right and that youth
would have to be served.

Grams of the war OF '61'65 can be ex-
pected to remain quiet and give the

OlD-T|ME BOOzERS
NOW SUPPORT LAW
Lag1ards to- Value OF Prohibition
And Its Enforcement.

Especial To The Richmond Nirginian) J
Luray, Va. July 25--While there
lare occasional reports OF violation of
the liquor J ~ and talk of boot
Logging in i.orthern Virginia. the
consensus OF opinion is that the
national prohibition law Is leaving the
unrestraint that for generations has
prevailed in this section. The time
was when if man was told that he
could not do all the things that he
wanted in the line of liquor drinking
a fight. fast and furious. was on the
hands of the man that dared to make
such pronouncement.
Now all of these things have
changed and those who aforetime re-
called themselves in this freedom
are beginning TO be the most loyal
supporters OF the prohibition measure.
They have begun to realize that there
lis higher and more sacred right
than their cherished posession-"per-
sonal liberty They now say that
; personal liberty" is all right: but
when the interests of humanity arc
at stake the time for the sacrificing
of personal" liberty" has arrived. All
of this section for an hundred years
has stood by what they said was the
| liberty guaranteed by the constltu-
NACha. AS0S INV tucSG lIDSTFAl66 are
beginning to place a new construction
on the constitution. and say that it
never meant that the instrument was
framed for liberty" If it meant the
detriment of some other citizens.
Men who at, one time were noted
"boozers" are today sober, industrious
and making a good living for their
children. This does not mean that
in those days the living was not good.
but that today 1t is better and the
mon are living cleaner lives and be-
coming ornaments of society and oc-
cupying higher realms in civic life.
They have become progressive.
They have laid down the jag" for the
fuli-dinner pail and their wives and
children. even the smallest of the lat
ter. do not fail to detect a better and
cleaner atmosphere in the home and
its surroundings.
On Saturday nights. in the time
when King Alcohol was unchallenged
II was a common sight to see all the
express offices at the larger towns In
Northern Virginia run over with a
crowd Of men and boys who were
awaiting their return" from Balti-
more, Louisville. Covington and
! North Carolina.
Despite all of this change there are
still few OF the older ones who
claim that their liberties have
been taken away from them and that
Germans autocratic government Is
not to be compared to that which
binds" Virginians But these are in
the minority. And their tribe is
grow ing less at each revolution OF the
wheel OF time. and, ere long this Gle
ment Of liberty" advocates will have
acquicsed in what others are claiming
as the BENEFITS OF prohibition.
The moonshiner OF Eastern vir-
ginia Is being run from his lair and
is philosophically acccding to the
universal demand of the national pro-
hibition laws.

Theatrical artists are curious hu-
mans. Here's George c'Dixie") Tay-
Tor, for example, who has come all the
way from New York to see a dog
perform at the Lyric theater. Dixie
Taylor, who is a native of Richmond,
was the owner and trainer of the
wonderful dog actor. Jasper. Jasper
is well remembered here. having been
exhibited by Mr.. Taylor In vaudeville
TWO years ago at the Lyric.
Previously, Jasper famed as 1.-The

Cohan and Harris in three-act play
presented on Broadway. called Young
America Jasper played the prin-
cipal role in the play. At that time
he enjoyed the distinction of being

During that Broadway engagement,
Dixie" Taylor, his owner and
trainer. drew a salary of $1,000 a
week from Conan and Harris. Two
years ago, while Jasper was on his
vaudeville tour. he was accidentally
poisoned in North Carolina. After
collecting the $4,000 insurance pol
Icy he held on the life of Jasper. Mr..
Taylor retired temporarily from the
Kage.
He has since resided in Richmond
and New York. making this city his
place Of actual residence and trans
acting business in New York. Last
Sunday Mr.. Taylor read in The Rich
mond virginian of the coming of a
new dog actor to Richmond. He had
never before heard of Take. the dog
actor, appearing in the show at the
Lyric the latter half of this week.
