RECOGNITION FOR PATRIOTIC EMPLOYERS

The war and navy departments, in
their efforts to find suitable employ
ment for every man who has been In
the service OF the nation in the great
war, has hit upon novel plan to in
terest employers. To every person,
firm or individual whose men have
left their regular work to fight for
the country and who has promised to
re-employ all OF them upon their re-
turn, the departments issue a citation,
which carries with It permission to
place upon the service flag the shield
of the United States.

SHALL THE OUTLAW TRIUMPH?

SHALL THE OUTLAW TRIUMPH
Editor Advocate:
On May gard for the first time in
several months. 1t was my privilege
to meet with the members OF the
headquarters committee of the Anti
Saloon League of Virginia The com
mittee carefully considered the con-
dition in Virginia with reference to
the liquor traffic and the enforcement
OF the law against that defiant outlaw.
l greatly rejoice to hear the story OF
the continued beneficent results OF
statewide prohibition. The great re-
duction in criminal expenses and in
the number OF commitm ents to the
Jail, the penitentiary and to all chart
table institutions constitute an irwin
chile reply to all the sneers. ISLANDERS
and curses the slaves Of appetite and
covetousness and OF their newspaper
|allies.
But I was fully prepared to hear
that the traffic and its allies were not
dead not even submissive. hut were
insolent, defiant, dangerous, murder
Gus. and that Virginia was expert
encing the difficulties which come
with the third great stage Of prohi-
bition conflicts.
The Anti-Saloon league has always
'VScSiiSSN thiVS Stoe "1e AS0NiOlis
legislation. law enforcement-and
each stage in every state has re-
quired wise. courageous, energetic.
persistent effort to obtain permanent
success. The weapons Of the enemy
are the same at every stage--charac-
teristic of the trafic--misrepresen
ton. deception. abuse. SANDER, law
lessness, murder.
We had become somewhat accus-
toned to these outrageous tactics. and
although the wet" newspaper did
their best to destroy the reputation
of prohibition workers in Virginia by
their slanderous attacks, the people
came finally to recognize that these
attacks were Just more liquor lies"
But strange to say. some people
seem to have forgotten the past and
to ignore the fact that the same
crowd Is fighting law enforcement
which formerly fought prohibition.
With some notable exceptions, the
people and the newspapers which are
denouncing the commissioner Of pro-
hihftion and his efforts to keep his
oath Of Office are the same old gang
that fought the Anti-Saloon league
in days gone ny.
They never night fair" They say
today that they are not fighting pro-
hibftion. They are opposed to the
prohibition department and to the Of
fee OF commissioner They cry that
1t requires useless expenditure Of
money and that II violates the rights
Of citizens. Notwithstanding the
murder OF Shellhorse. Brinkley and
Payne by liquor outlaws. they shrek
with rage, led by the Times Dispatch.

this point. in regard TO the state cor

HALL THE DEFEATED ENEMY DICTATE TERMS?

In It's Issue of June 12. the Times
Dispatch editorially insists that the
adjustment of the commissioners Of
flee should be one Of the first tasks
to which the general assembly ad-
dresses itself when it convenes in reg
ular session next January"
The Times dispatch is the leader
of the defeated liquor forces In Vir-
ginia 1t fought the establishment OF
the department Of prohibition just as it
fought the Mann law. the Byrd law,
and the statewide prohibition law. 1t
is now attempting to dictate tho law
which will enforce the prohibition law
which ii fought with such virulence.
THE VERY FACT THAT THE
TINES DISPATCH FAV ORS THE
ABOLITION OF THE DEPARTMENT
OF PROHIBITION should be. on its
face, sufficient reason for 1t to be re-
tanned. for it Is well known that the
Times Dispatch desires that the prohi-
bition law shall be discredited and
overthrow The reason given by the
Times Dispatch for it's demand for the
abolition Of the department OF prohi-
bition is that the federal government
Will be likely to establish a department
of prohibition, and. therefore, there VIII
be no need for Virginia to appropriate
money to enforce her state law, This
TO a Web-fHItfIlSu peiSoH 10 'i'"c 100
and foolish The eighteenth amend
ment distinctly declares that the con-
gress and the several states shall have
concurrent power to enforce this ar
ticle by appropriate legislation. There
has never been any thought In the
minds OF prohibition workers that tas
the Times Dispatch declares) the fed
eral government must be responsible
fer its enforcement" alone. and the
legislation and, indeed, the appropria-
ton of three millions and a half sug-
gested by the bill, favored by the Anti
Saloon league. Is based upon the expec-
tation that the states will continue to
enforce their own state laws. just as
today the commissioner Of prohibition
and the internal revenue department
work hand in hand to break up the
| Lincolnshire" stills in Virginia
1t Is vital to the real success OF pro-
hibition that for the next four years
every possible means should be used
both by the state and the nation to en-
force the will OF the people concerning
the prohibition of the traffic in intoxi-
eating liquors.
