ANOTHER VIRGINIA
DECISION.

The brilliant ]. Thomas Newsome
scores another victory in his many APP
peals to the Supreme Court of Appeals
of Virginia. That tribunal sustains the
point that it must be established that
n conveying chauffeur knew that tn,
contents of his car were contraband.
that Is contained whiskey in order for
him to be convicted of transporting
under the Virginia statutes. This seems
to us to be matter Of SIMPLIFY Justice.
1t logically follows that where ar
owners car is used to haul liquor with
out his knowledge or consent, it is not
subject to confiscation under the same
statutes.
Attorney Newsome is to be congrat

The hysteria of prejudice and fanati-

The wise men. scholars and teachers

now men are taking one part of the

as false-hood, declaring the Word ol

Of the people are exercising a divine

We have never known the English
