There is someone in your family
who has big responsibility.
Food to buy for the table; clothes
forthe children and grown-ups; new
household utensils, linen, furniture,
books and all the hundred and one
little things for which the family in
come is spent.
In most families one person does
the bulk of the buying. And it is
that PERSONS job to see that the mon
ey is we'll spent-that you all get full
value for every cent that goes out.
The success of family depends
on wise buying just as the success of
a business does.
Wise buying means intelligent
buying. 1t is necessary to h ave
knowledge Of goods and stores.
The best way to get this knowl-
edge is by reading advertisements.
They tell yoe where and when to
buy to advantage.
Not only the person who does
the buying but every member of the
family should read advertisements.
1t is the duty of all the others to help
the one who does the buying by
pointing out advertisements of new
goods and giving all the information
possible as to tastes and styles and
values.
Advertisements are published for
your benefit. Make use of them by
reading them.

The Virginia Legislature and Public Morals

Because of the numerous bills In
troduced In the present legislature
calculated to weaken public morals,
the impression has been made in some
minds that this Legislature is not
strongly for moral measures. A full
understanding of the situation may
remove that impression.
1t is true. that certain measures
have been proposed which disturbed
some who are deeply concerned for
Virginia's welfare. 1t is equally true
that when the legislature has ex-
pressed it's deliberate and final opinion
on these measures, the forces for
moral welfare have won. The defeat
of the effort to abolish the prohibition
department imm cdiately, or one year
hence, proved this statement, though
it was question on which there
was ground for difference of opinion.
The vote last Monday on the Sab
bath bill was the fairest test thus far,
of the legislatures attitude on moral
Issues. 1t was a cleareut issue, I'M
embarrassed by any personalities. The
house killed the WILCOX Boschen' bill,
to permit Sabbath laxity in cities,
by a majority of two to one. The
rural delegates deserve much credit
for the defeat of this bill. The Chris
grateful to these men. The senator
from Halifax said in speech on an
other occasion: IF it were not for the
ministers of tho gospel we would go
to the devil very quickly" II it were
not for the rural representatives not
all. but the majority of them one
wonders, at times, where Virginia
would go.
The action, by the Democratic eau
Gus, in selecting the commissioner OF
prohibition must not be miScon-
strued. Personalities and party poli
| ties were involved to a confusing and
disagreeable extent. Prohibitionists
| of equal sincerity were honestly di'
vidcd. When all Is said and done il
/ should be remembered that no public
word was spoken in the caucus FOL
the new commissioner by antiprohi-
| bitionists. Practically every one of thu
| who spoke for him claimed to have
advocated and voted for prohibition
and / know personally that some Of
| them are as loyal and true prohibit
! tionists as any of us.
I No hint was given that there was t.
be relaxation in enforcing the pro
hibition laws of Virginia. On the con
| trary, some ardent prohibitionist
avowed their conviction that it wal
best for prohibition that there shoult
| be a change. Others took a dineren
view and insisted on standing by {
much maligned public official. BY
| majority of two, a new commissions
was nominated.

The failure Of the legislative demo
cratic caucus TO rcnomin4te Commits
sicner Of Prohibition j. Sidney Peters
was sore disa prominent to very
large element OF the friends of the
prohibition scause in Virginia and
throughout the country. They will
regard it as due in no small measure
20 the vigilance, the diligence and the
devotion which he has shown in the
administration Of law which, though
supported by The everw heIninE senti-
ment of the people Of Virginia, was
bitterly opposed by shrcnd and ma
lignant minority.
It was inevitable that any man who
endeavored consciendously to enforce
this law would be the target for abuse,
Islander and viilihcation by enemies Of
Prohibition and those who do not wish
prohibition enforced so far as the
opposition to Tr. Peters cr1anated
from this source IL was a tribute 70
the efficiency and honesty Of his ad-
nainistration. The opposition of this
element, however, would have been
insufficient by itself to encompass the

which the commissioner had sought to
enforce the law; actual or imaginary
shortcomings of the agents whom he
had employed as his agents; individual
grievances against the commissioner

extended over so long a period; fac

Gods people and the assistance Of all
lawabiding citizens II he is vigorous
and fearless he win incur the enmfty
OF law-breakers. This will be to his
credit. This Democratic caucus
should be closed chapter. We are
through with It and must go on to
other important things.
Some of us had hoped that the
prohibition question was settled. We
thought that In a Democracy the ma
jority ruled and the minority ac-
quiesced gracefully. We are learn
ing differently every day. A rather
notorious anu-prohibition governor
declared that the prohibition question
will be an issue in every campaign
until the prohibition laws are chang
ed.
II this be the challenge, prohibits
tionists~ must accept it. An anti
prohibition state senator, who ad-
mired the character and ability OF
Lieutenant Governor Buchanan, and
had intended to support him in his
race for governor, avowed his oppo-
sition the day the lieutenant governor
broke two ties by voting for prohi-
bition measures. II it be the policy OF
the old anti prohibitionists to punish
high minded. impartial, conscientious
men on account OF their votes. then
the prohibitionists are bound to see
that such men do not suffer simply
because they are prohibitionists. This
is the time for prohibitionists to form
ranks and stand solidly for the pre-
servation OF their hard fought and
honestly-won victories.
