SENSIBLE ADVICE FROM A
FEDERAL JUDGE.
IIn declining to assume Jurlsdictlor j
and dissolving the temporary Injuiic
tlon restraining one hundred and four?
teen saloon keepers from doing bust
neas in Memphis. Tenn., Federal j
Judge Mi i'all pursued the only course j
open to him under the constitution
Had be desired and dared to follow
the Roosevelt "New Nationalism"
idea, the judge might have attempted J
to put his finger Into the domestic
affairs of a sovereign state, but, for
tunately for the country, even fed
ernl Judges appointed to their i ou?
tturns by Roosevelt havo shown M
disposition to abandon their senses,
their traditions and their respect foi l
the law of the land in order to follow j
the lead of the ambitious and reck
lessly dangerous colonel.
The Memphis proceedings were In?
stituted by the Law Enforcement
League of that city, an organisation I
formed particularly for tho purpose J
of securing the enforcement of thr
prohibition law of Tennessee. At.
cording to the charges of the league
which general reports from Tenness e
say are true, the law Is openly aui
flagrantly violated.vV-speclally In th<
city of Memphis. Though the Slat'
prohibits under pain of severe penal
tlos the tale of liquor within its b..r
dets, one hundred and fourteen
open saloons are said to flourish it
Memphis, with the knowledge of th<
police authorities and the public gen
erally. conditions being practically
what they w.-re when the sale of li?
quor was regularly licenced by city
snd'State. This, of course. Is a most!
extraordinary and out rattens state of]
affairs. It ought not to be tolerated
But. as Judge McCall pointed out Je I
delivering his opinion, the situation |
must be dealt with by the State au
thorities. The federal government j
baa nothing to do with the domestii
affairs of the State of Tennessee, andj
It would be an unwarranted and high)
handed piece of meddling It the t'nit
ed States authorities should Interfere |
in such a ease as the one at ifaue.
unless the governor of the State, un
able to maintain order In hia com
monweaitn. had called upon the cen
trnl government for assistance If ib
fourteenth amendment to the const!
tution ever is stretched to the poin- j
of furnishing federal courts with au
thorlty for undertaking the enforce-!
ment of municipal police regulations
the day of "New Nationalism" will ]
have gone the way of dead republics
Judge McCall totd the law enforce
aaent leaguers that their remedy lay
in prosecution through grand Jury
Indictments, and. referring to the al?
legation that the State authorities
are In aympathr with the Honor deal
eta. he suggested impeaajament _ pro

moreover, the executive, jiidiel.il and
legislative branch*h of the municipal
government could not successfully
carry out auch a conspiracy without
I ihe support of the governor and leg?
islature oi ihe State.
Can It be I hat such a condition a:i
' this i m ' - In Memphis und Tennen
see? To admit such a thin* U a sac
commentary upon the manhood of
Tennessee, and if the people de not
promptly bring about a chaugo they
will prove theniHclvcs._iliitlt for self
governmt m.
This paper does not believe In
State-wide probIbit ion. but I) does be?
lieve in enforcement of the luw. And
it believes, too, that when prohibition
laws actually are enforced a lot of
people who now hypocritically ac?
quiesce In or even actively support
the cause will bo found missing from
prohibition < amps.
A GRAVE MISTAKE.
liecause two of the members ob?
jected on ilie ground that ihe "chain
gang" cannot be worked at night
It would cost something to have tl
work done by paid laborers, the high?
ways and sewers committee of the
city council railed to recommend
that provision be made for sweeping
?lie streets by night Instead of by .
day. The commiffte took this post^
tlon hi the face of an urgutit plea,
from the mayor for clean streets, and
an official warning from the health
officer that sweeping by day Is a
menace to the health of the Com?
munity.
The committee has made a grave I
mlatake. we believe, and it Is to be *
hoped that the council will act
promptly upon the advice of the may?
or and health officer, regardless of
the committee's failure to make a re
IHirt.
When the physician employed to
guard the city's health advises after
investigation and deliberation that
street sweeping during the day, when
the thoroughfares are thronged with
pqQple and the stores and business
houses are open. Is a menace to the
health ol the public, the council smol?
ders a great responsibility in contin?
uing the practice. What Is I be in?
significant sum that would be expend?
ed for a few men to operate sweepers
compared to the public health? The
dust kicked up during the day is de?
cidedly disagreeable, as woll as germ
laden and dangerous. And it is not
a particularly edifying spectacle to
have the "chain-gang" on the princi?
pal streets during the busy time of
the da/, anyho v. There Is plenty M
work for the gang In grading and
cleaning up the sidestrects. and the
residents of certain sections no doubt
would be delighted, to have a little at
tention paid to the gratis plots and
mudhoies in front of their homes.
Aside from the sanitary question.
Mayor Jones has sufficient nrovoct
tlon for his complaints that aft ?
streets are not kept clean. Most of
the thoroughfares are in a tilt by con?
dition almost continually, and visitors
no doubt wonder why we spent hun?
dreds of thousands of dollars in pav?
ing, se.dng that we apparently prefer
dirt to asphalt or brick.
Lot ? have decent looking urecta
If the council puts the city's money
to no worse use there will be no com
plaint 'ion the people.
EXAMINATION SHOULD BE
REQUIRED.
Two of the State pepers disagree
on the question of whether or not
women should be allowed to drive au?
tomobiles through city streets, it
makes no difference whether the auto?
mobile dr.v t Is a man or a woman;
in fact many women are better driv?
ers than the average man. Hut all
cities should require applicants for li-,
censes to operate automobile? to pass
kind of aa examination andj
i"irate their fitness to take p>w
er vehicles through the streets. Men
and womes alike should have to stand
such an examination, and anv one
who fails to give a satisfactory ae
rount of himself or herself at the
steerlns wheel -TmuM be denied a II

Some people who advocate the
amendments to the constitution alfM
that the proposed changes must be
proper ones 'because the legislature
passed the law putting them to a vote
of the people. And those same people,
told the legislators that they were
assuming no responsibility In putting
the amendments before the people:
that they were merely giving the pan)
pie a chance to say what they want.
The Richmond Evening) Journal is
the last paper in the State we would

Tho defeat cf this amendment would
he a blow to machine politics, against
which the Journal usually is a staunch
fighter.
