Prohibition in virginia.

HVER 100 stills capable of quantity production
~ were captured in Virginia. last month, the
Federal prohibition director for that State an
nounces. His statistics, however are too incom-
plete to prove of much interest to Washington
people. We would like to know how many of those
corn liquor factories put out of business within
so miles of the District of Columbia There is no
useful purpose served in concealing facts For the
past year the Capital has been the best market for
the Old Dominion product-fusel oil, poison and ALL
But the Virginia dstillers are losing their mar
ket. Perhaps in disappointment over the future
prospects of their business they have grown care
less and allowed enforcement officers to get too
great hold on the situation. Washingtonans have
turned mysterously from corn whisky, with the
smoky tank of mountain farms about it, to syn
thetc gin and sacramental wine which now. we are
informed on authority usually reliable, can be OBJ
tanned with little difficulty.
The day of corn liquor, it seems by increasing
evidence, is done. The beverage famous since the
days of George Washington, the delight of the old
South and the consolation of the new, will be
as extinct of those mixtures described 50
tcmptingly by Charles Dickens. More rigid prohibi-
ton enforcement has had something to do with this
disappearance. The officers have penetrated the
most remote mountain Businesses, guided by the
odor OF boiling corn, and taken to Jail expert dis
tillers. who yet believe their activities were
illegal
But the principal has been the dishon-
esty OF the makers themselves. Even in bootleg
ging" liquor honesty is the best policy-and this
the Nirgnians have learned to their sorrow. 1t
may be years before absolute enforcement of pro-
hibton comes. They have thrown away their
opportunities for profit by foistng the people
rank poison.
If they had displayed less avidity, if they had
given the lawbreaking public for its money,
there might have been different story. But now
the enforcement officers have the sympathy of all
Washington behind them they hunt down tho
smoking stills in Virginia farmhouses and lug the
proprietors away to jail. Eventually, just this stua-
tion will result in the complete enforcement of pro-
hibton. Now at least a respectable minority are
out OF sympathy with the law which tries to regu-
late the personal habits of ladies and gentlemen
but that sympathy is bound to turn when people
learn the quality of liquid the "bootleggers" are
selling.
The strongest ally of the Anti-Saloon League
is the dishonest liquor seller He is the who
eventually will bring about absolute prohibition in
the United States.

II. the story has gone forth that
Morse, while languishing in At

icals to induce the fearsome mall
ady OF Bright's disease, and thus
obtain his release on the plea of
poor health. But surely no sane
man believes that Morse, anxious to
regain his freedom and resume his
large financing ventures, was
PARTY to any such thing. That he
would have voluntarily courted
Bright's disease. a dangerous and
feared malady. which may or may
not respond to medical treatment,
is untenable. The story Is undoubt-
edly a fabrication, pure and SIM
pie. and can only react unfavorably
to the cause of the proponents of
amnesty for wartime political pris-
oners.
Such tactics are ill-advIsed and.
instead of marshaling support for
the amnesty drive. as is their pur-
pose. will defect sympathy that
otherwise might be accorded the

There are two processes Of re-

to a general principle. Deduction
proceeds from an assumed general

the systems of philosophy that have
ever been devised under the deduc-

Defends Bonus Bill.

To the Editor. The Washington Herald:
f. H. Nye, in his comparison of
the soldiers bonus TO a demand OF
a policeman or fireman for a re-
ward for a heroic rescue. is very
ridiculous.
The policeman or fireman is a
public servant making a satisfac-
tory living wage-usually more
than he could earn by any other
means of livelihood. He is not sac
rificing his career for the benefit
of a few or does he run the risk
that the veteran Of the world war
was Obliged TO submit to.
The veteran received an average
salary Of $50 rer month. He may
have earned 5000 or more before his
enlistment. II he had a earning Of
say $500 per month before the war
and was in the service one year. then
he was approximately 5000 behind

war measure: that came nine
months later. There were not very
many slaves in the District in 1852
in proportion to population; only
about per cent; that is, 5000
slaves in total population OF 7S.-
600 in 1860. There were. however.
about $4,000 free negroes in the
District in 1860.
The slave trade in the District
had been abolished in 1850 by a
provision of the omnibus bill, by
which California came in as a free
State. The proposition 10 free the
slaves in the District carried with

owners. not more than $500, for any

In addition to the usual mental
and physical examinations, the
prospective members of the police
force will be examined under this
character test as regards % ap-
pearance, CD initiative, and (3) in
dustry; and the ratings of the re-
jected applicants will read some
thing like this: Appearance. NON

will give US good Representatives.

Sixty Years Ago.

10 the Editor. The Washington Herald;
Those who wish that the good
old times" would oome again, are
usually disappointed. Do you re.
call the days when there were ne
gro slaves in Washington? Some
citizens are in the Capital today
who saw slaves here. Long ago?
not so very long ago. In 1852, just
sixty years ago. by act of Congress,
slavery was abolished in the Dis
trict Of Columbia.
If a prophet had appeared on
Pennsylvania avenue in the spring
of 1862 and had told the citizens
he met that in three-score years in
this same town on the Avenue there
would be seen a parade like that
which passed so silently along the
Avenue, Flag Day, June II. 1922,
which parade is now an historic
fact-would such a prophet have
had honor7 Would he have Jared
we'll? Or would he have been
mobbed and hooted from the city,
or ducked In the Potomac?
Yes: slavery was abolished in the
