Ministers OF City Want
Law Against Whiskey
Traffic Enforced.
ROUNDUP EXPECTED
Gentry Who Planned Big Harvest
From Sale of White Lightning"
Between Now and Christmas VIII
BE Disappointed.

According TO reports bootleggers
here are now in fear Of arrest now
that in addition to the wal ling given
them by the Ku Klux the Alexandria
Ministerial Association Of the city
has adopted resolutions setting forth
that there is organized activity for
the practical annulment of the Eigh-
teenth amendment to the constitution
and setting forth that they place
themselves behind the public officials
in the impartial enforcement Of the
liquor laws.
The ministers in their resolutions
express regret and disapproval of
the growing practice on the part Of
so called reputable citizens Of giving
countenance to the boOtlegger.
The ministers also express graft
fieation over the appointment Of R.
B Sans, chief divisional prohibition
agent.
The general opinion prevails that
many of the bootleggers who planned
a big harvest for Thanksgiving and
Christmas will lay off for a while
rather than take the chances of fac
ing trial and getting a Jail sentence.
If reports are true evidence may al
ready have been obtained on num-
Der Of those engaged in bootlegging
and soon will be presented TO the au-
thorities. 1t is expected that round
up Of all suspectei bootleggers soon
will be made.

Two Harris0nburg Suits
VIII Be Heard This Week

Harrisonburg, Va, Nov. 2S.-The
city of Harrisonburg is involved in
two suits to be heard before the Cir
cult Court this week, with Judge Is.
d. White, of Norfolk, Presiding. Judge
I. n. Haas is not allowed under the
law to sit in these cases as he is a
resident of the city involved in the
suits.
Tn most important of the two suits
is the injunction applied for by the
North River Light and Power Com
pany to prevent Harrisonburg from
taking water from Dry river, at the
source of the city water supply,
through the new main, Is miles of
which was laid during the summer.
The power company claims that the
taking of the water through the main
would reduce considerably the amount
of power which can be produced at
its hydro-electric plant, some 20 miles
down the river. A verdict against the
city would mean loss of over $5O,O00,
which was expended for laying the
main, in addition to causing water
shortage in the city.
In the other suit the owners of land
alone the Shenandoah river in the Vi
cinity of the city's hydro-electric
plant seek to compel the building OF a
bridge across the river just above the
power station, in place of the ferry
now operated at this point. This case
has been pending for some time,
Judge White will also hear the ap-
plication of the town of Broadway for
an extension of the town limits.

les and mines and railroads are
imperative and her fields unpro-
ductive. And while she is adj
ministered by government that
invites naught but distrust and
suspicion from the rest OF the
world, these conditions will not
change. There lies the real trout
bic; therein is rooted the disease
which is fundamental and which
presupposeS all her other all
mentS. The anarchists who COM
pose the Soviet government must
first be expelled from power. No
other government can safely treat
with d sovereignty that is funda-
mentally dishonest, and that can
offer no guaranty OF good faith.

ambassadors to or from this gang
Of thieves and cut-throatS, as 1t
would have been for England and
Austria 10 have sent their min
listers to Marat and RobeSplerre.
Lenin and TrOtSky seek TO over
throw all existing government,
and teach their disciples that any
means will Justify such end. That
treachery, perjury, murder by
bomb, dagger, or poison, when
/ performed in the sacred cause OF
anarchy, are all pardonable and
even creditable to the doer OF the
deed. Punishment for these de-
teStable crimes is nartyrdom. OF
course, then, intercourse, COM
mercial or political, with such
government, is out of the ques-
ton.
Mr.. Hoover is silent as TO the
remedy. He states the ailment
but offers no suggestion as to the
cure. This is, indeed, one OF the
problems civilization has to solve
in the near future. As all Eu-
rope combined in 1914 to save
itself from the destroyer of
France, perhaps it will be ncceS-
sary to combine again to save IL
self from the destroyers of Rus
Sia! We must confess that at
present there appears no other So
luton.

of economic difference in the real sit
uation OF the Russian people had the
blockade never been imposed The
economic troubles OF Russia were from
within and not from without, Tor
Russian production was being de-
stroyed in this social experiment and
she mad no commodities for exchange
even if exchange had been permitted.
This is indeed now demonstrated to
have been truly the case because the
blockade was removed two years ago.
During the last two years there has
been no ban on any merchants send
ing IN his goods, or any investor S
lending his savings for development
of industry if he felt so inclined. No
practical advantage has been taken
of this situation and the productivity
and industrial machinery of Russia
have continued to degenerate stead
lily until this day. The proof that
access To Russia alone was not the
solution is evident for if we subtract
the goods that have been moved into
Russia by the charity of America and
the two or three hundred million dol
lars of goods imported with the old
gold reserves, the supplies moving in
the course of normal trade have been
pitiable, and the people were starving
even before the drought. The export of
goods from Russia for 1921 was less
than $10,000,000 as compared with
S7O0, 900 before the war.
1t seems to be believed by some peo-
pie that if we would go one step
further in relations and establish III
Washington a Soviet Ambassador,
then goods would begin to fow-but
goods do not move in an economic
vacuum. More political officials will
not solve this issue; it requires the re-
storation of the dynamic forces of
productivity and the establishment Of
security for investment. The founda-
tion of these things must be laid in
Russia; it can not arise in the United
States.
Some Russian officials have held
out promises of great advantage to
US if we would reestablish Ambassa-
doris and would come to her economic
assistance. 1t is a constantly reit-
Grated statement that here is a vast
field for the sale Of American goods,
for the employment of millions OF
American workmen and for large
profits to those straw men called CAPT
talists. These statements have the
same degree of initiation as the Bolshe-
vik ruble which now stands 4,000,0 0O
to the dollar.
When Russia was running full
blast previous to the war she took
per cent of the exports of the United
States which when reduced into terms
of working time of our workmen and
farmers, meant roughly the employ

80 And when the multitude heard
this, they were astonished at his doc
trine.
81 But when the Pharisees had
heard that he had put the Sadducees
to silence, they were gathered to-
gether.
So Then one of them, which was
lawyer, asked him a question, tempt
ing him, and saying,
sc Master, which is the great COM
mandment in the law?
81 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt
love the Lord thy God with all thy
heart, and with all thy soul, and with
all thy mind.
SO This is the first and great COM
mandment.
80 And the second is like unto it,
Thou shalt love thy neighbOr as thy
heslf.
40 Or these two commandments
hang all the law and the prophets.
Al While the Pharisees were
gathered together, Jesus asked them,
~ Saying, What think we of Christ?
whose son is he? They say unto him,
The son of David.
43 He saith unto them, How then
doth David in spirit call him Lord,
saying,
Al The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit
thou on my right hand, till | make
thine enemies thy footstool?
As If David then call him Lord, how
is he his son?
46 And no man was able to answer
him word, neither burst any man
from that day forth ask him any more
questions.

American Relations To
Russia
Summary of an address before the
International Chamber of Com
merce by Herbert Hoover,
Washington, NJ day
evening, May 70,

/ | have been asked to say something
upon the situation in Russia. 1t is
indeed one with which every sympa
thetic person must feel great concern.
A great nation is suffering agonieS
that the world has not known since
the dark ages. The overthrow of the
old regime with its centuries of mis-
government met a great response in
sympathy from our people. But the
swing of the pendulum under the I'M
pulse of the old store of suffering did
not stop half way, but swung to
I frenzy of destruction that has brought
their economic system to ruin. Even
outside the drought stricken area, the
Russian people are slowly dying. They
are being destroyed from inside OF
Russia, not outside. For they die
from the destruction of productivity.
The people are sick with war and
terror; their hope of relief is in evo-
I luton not in revolution. Today the
special pendulum is swinging back.
Communism has been abandoned for
cross breed of individualiSm and
milder but equally unavoidable forms
of socialism. Nor must communism
or socialism be confused with the Rus
sian people, for today the adherents
to those beliefs in Russia have dimin-
iShed to very small minority But
whether the adherents are small or
+ large Russia must work out her own
political and economic system.
Our relationship to this problem
must be predieated upOn one basis on
~, and that is what Will bring real
assistance to the Russian people in
this time of their greatest need. We
could base help upon sentiment which
is charity. AT best it is but tenn
/ porary eXpedient. We are providing
charity in Russia today in a measure
/ ten times all the rest of the world and
we are saving the lives of ten million
of their people. The solution can
not be found in charity for unless pro-
ductlvlty Is restored charity will be
overwhelmed. Real and lasting help
must be based upon cold economics or
it will bring no real reconstruction or
relief to Russia.
This is no time TO discuss the re-
SponSibilitieS for this great catastro-
D ttsGs CNOtbl III OllG ullIOI DdlIlGuldC.
Some officials in Russia and their fol-
lowers in the United States seek to
blame the responsibility for this sit
uation upon America. The point where
we are supposed to have incurred this
responsibility was in continuation of
the blockade after the war was won.
This blockade imposed as a war meas
ure against the cooperation of Rus
STA with Germany was continued for
a year after peace. | myself, was
one of those who strongly advocated
that this should not be done. because
I felt that whatever goods could fill
ter TO Russia would relieve just that
much individual misery, and that it
would be well for the world to lift
the curtain on this experiment in
! economics. We knew now, however,
that il would not have made one jot
