Congress Functioning Again.

Well, here is an encouraging sign:
Congress is beginning to function in
its legislative capacity. Yesterday the
Senate took day off from squab-
bling over the oil scandals, from Grim
ination and recrimination, and passed
two appropriation bills while trans
acting some miscellaneous business.
The House dealt with the Muscle
Shoals project.
The Senate is apparently awaken
ing to the fact that it is being criti-
cized by the country for putting in too
much time trying" the oil case in
debate while it is being handled in the
investigating committee. Senator War
ren's warning the other day that the
appropriation bills were lamentably
behind schedule found echo in the
press all over the country.
The Congressional Record this morn.
ing is not quite as spicy reading as
it has been daily for weeks past, but
it is all the better in recording actual
legislative achievements, holding out
the hope that from now the public
business may be speeded up and par
tisan disputes among senators abated.
There is no suggestion that the in
vestigations be abandoned or neglect
ed. But the point can be made that
while a section of the Senate member
ship is thus busted arguments over
their daily tasks can be postponed un-
til reports are made, and then the
flood gates of oratory can be opened.

to Illicit distillers and to retailers OF
liquor. 1t is certain to be warning
to the criminals who make and dis
tribute imitation whisky. Virginia is a
prohibition state. The prohibition law
is backed by the mass sentiment. There
are many violations Of the prohibition
law in Virginia, because although a
large majority Of the people support
the dry law there is minority that is
contrary-minded. Whatever may be
the case in big cities, there is no doubt
that most of the voters in Virginia
are for prohibition, and that they
mean to make the state as dry as
can be.

Virginia Prohibitionists.

A measure is pending in the Vir-
ginia legislature which provides that
the person who makes or sells intoxi.
eating liquor which poisons and kills
the man who drinks it may be found
guilty Of first-degree murder. A bill to
strengthen prohibition enforcement in
the state was passed by the senate,
and on going to the house Of delegates
was so amended as to hold for murder
the maker or seller Of stuff which
poisons and kills. The amendment
was adopted by vote Of 73 to IL,
which gives a clear indication of how
the Virginia house Of delegates stands
on prohibition. The amendment to be
effective must be concurred in by the
senate. Dry law enforcement men are
q large majority Of the Virginia SEN
ate, but whether they will agree with
the house OF delegates that a rum
poisoner shall be charged with murder
cannot be foretold. though it is be-
lieved probable that the senate will
stand with the house of delegates on
this matter. 1t is drastic measure,
and might be calculated to give pause
