"Four GnIions" the difference.


To the Editor OF The Times Dispat oh
Sir,-Scnator Trinklc, in his speech
at John Marshall High SCHOOL. on the
night Of July ia. is quoted as defend
ing his vote for the Cooke liquor hill
at the last session of the General AS
scmbly. In his last speech In Nor
folk he said the ti-Saloon League
did not oppose the passage of this
bill
The only difference between the
Cooke bill as i; was introduced and
as ii passed the Senate was four gal
ions Of liquor. The original bill pro-
vidcd that physicians might have as
much as ten gallons OF the deadly
stuff. while, as amended the bill pro-
vidcd that physicians might order as
much as six gallons. Senator Trlnklc
seems TO have missed the vital poin,
| OF this bill entirely. He says the An
ti-Saloon League did not oppose its
| passage. The Richmond virginian
the official mouthpiecc of the Anti.
Saloon League, and financed by the
| league. denounced the bill in serie.
of editorials. and | have these edi.
| torials before me as ! write.
IL matters not how much liquor the
doctors We're To have under the pro.
visions OF the bill. whether n gill, 4

NirEinian said, the purpose Of the hi!
was 10 put the Commonwealth in the

with the enforcement of the Yolsteal
law.
