To the Editor OF The Timcs-Dispatch:
S!r,--The statement frequently
made by the vets. that farmers cam
not now make cider and put up fruit
juices without violating the Nolstcad
act. is only for effect. The facts are
that they can legally manufacture
vinegar and fruit juices. which, il
not Intoxicating. in fact. are not un-
dor the ban. and that those who wish
TO amend the Nolstcad act are more
concerned about the welfare OF the
brewer than hey are OF the welfare
OF the farmer. The real object is 10
let down the bars for the more than
e-half OF 1 per cent alcohol.
The following is statement Of
United States Prohibition Commits
sioncr Kramer. and Is conclusive
proof that the farmer can manufac-
ture vinegar and fruit juices for use
in the home without violating any
law:
no malt beverage containing
more than one-half of per cent can
be manufactured, even for your own
use. without violating the statute.
The only things which may be manu-
featured In your own home and for
your personal use with an alcoholic
content of more than onc-haif of l
per cent are cider and fruit ~. ccs."

An International Court

IS EH7HE project for a permanent court OF in
II ternatonal justice, as adopted by The
Hague committee OF jurists, of which Elihu
Root is a member, has been submitted TO
all governments which have entered the
league of nations, accompanied by a letter
from the council of the league inviting
fheir- consideration of the plan on its
merits. In the letter submitting the plan,
the council suggests that any irreconcilable
difference OF opinion on the merits of the
scheme would be an international msfor-
tune of the gravest kind, as it would be
tnhtanlount to admission of the incapacity
6T the league to carry out one of the most
important tasks which it was invited to
perform.

sr$since provision for such a court OF in

S69nci in urging the governments which
hHye become members of the league to take
ample time for study OF the plan on its
niEIits can readily be appreciated. Any hasty
tsfecton based. on immature conclusions as

What Virginia Pays for It's Mud

II it were possible to ascertain with any
! degree Of accuracy what Virginia pays
annually in mud tax, the immensely of the
figures would arouse the State to Il pitch
of Indignation that would end forever this
needless drain on its pocketbook. Not even
an approximate estimate OF the cost of bad
roads can be made, far-reaching is their
blghting effect, but it is safe to say that
the estimate of $50,000,000 loss each year,
made recently by the manager OF the Lynch
burg Chamber of Commerce following n
tour of inspection, is ultra-conservative
That amount could be doubled without dam
ger OF exaggerating the direct and indirect
, loss to the State by reason Of its unspeak-
able roads.
That Chappawamsic Swamp alone, that
impossible bog on the Richmond Washing
ton Highway, the great tourists thorough
fare between the North and the South has
cost more this year than would have been
/ required to pave its whole length with con-
| crete The very name 'Chappawamsic" has
come 10 he synonymous in the minds OF
motorists with Virginia roads, and the thou
sands or them who have been begged in it's
mry depths or have been compelled to turn
! back by reason OF it's terrors, have not
failed to spread over the States to which
they returned the news of Virginia's back
wardness. One may be sure that their re-
cital OF the States disgraceful roads has

Enlistment. The Chappawamsic Swamp

ways.
Conditions this year have been extremely
unfortunate. Virginia embarked upon its
ambitious good roads program only to he
confronted by the most unfavorable weather
III years. Then came the governments en-
! barge on open freight cars, and the cost
OF labor and material advanced to Il point
that sent contract prices far beyond the
state S estimates. Against this combination
ui adverse circumstances the highway de-
pariment has been compelled to struggle

has gone practically to smash. About three
months remain in which road-making

To the editor Of The Times Dispatch:
Sir.-Senator Harding "deprecates

his record We find that he is a mem
Der OF very select class, the Old
Guard.
When his nomination IL looked into
It ia disclosed that It came TO him
through another very select class, an
oiigarchy of the United States SEN
ate.
When his campaign is looked into
and the lid is suddenly lifted, il is
disclosed that the Old Guard and the
oligarchy are in collision with an
other very select class who under
take to finance his election
We. also. are against class appeals:
but IL such appeals are necessary we
prefer them in the open rather than
in secret
1t is not what a man says, but what
he does--his rccord-that dfscloses
what he rs and what he is likely to
do in the future.
Harding's record in the United
states Senate discloses that no is a
reactionary; that he has systematf-
cally opposed constructive work and
progress; that his methods are the
pussyfoot kind; that he Is an artful
dodger of roll calls, and that his de-
Tense IS smoke screens, g1fttcring
