LONG CONTINUED DROUTH
BROKEN BY HEAVY SHOWERS

Washington, July 2S.-To days
were the most encouraging that have
come to hand for the past forty days,
showing. in the opinion of the fore
casters that the great drouth has been
broken by a general visitation of show
ers in many portions of that section,
and with Il prospect of their continual
ton tomorrow. Coincident with the
fail of rain has come reduced tempera-
lures. With few exceptions the TEN
peraturcs reported are not, abnormally
high, no maximums of 100 degrees be-
ing reported. West of the Mississippi
river they were generally in the neigh
borhood of ninety. The forecasters,
while not making any specific predic-
tions as to the effect of the ram on the
crops. express the opinion that all those
crops that have not been irreparably
ruined will be benefited by the break
ing Of the drouth. The late crops nat
urally will be helped the most. The
reports show that during the past
twenty-four hours showers We're quite

Monday there will be showers through
out the corn belt region except in its
extreme western portion. and southern
Indiana and southern Ohio and they
will continue generally on Tuesday in

JUDGE PALMER'S DECISION
REVERSED BY JUDGE LINDSAY

Denver. July 29.-In an exhaustive
opinion which showed thorough re-
search and long study of the issues in
volved, County Judge Ben Il. Lindsay,
in the case of the city of Denver
against Dan Cronin last Saturday
ruled contrary to the decision of Judge
Palmer recently given authorizing the
selling of liquors to women in wine
rooms. Judge Lindsay presents the
case clearly and effectively and backs
up his decision with rulings from the
California courts which were quoted
by Judge Palmer and from the Su-
preme Court of the United States.
The fine of $50 imposed ON Cronin in
the police court is doubled and the
ruling of the court upheld. Attorney
Milton Smith for the defendant took
an appeal and was given sixty days
in which TO file n bill of exceptions.
In his decision Judge Lindsay claims
that the county court is the proper tri-
bunal for the trial of such cases. He
says:
1T is undoubtedly the law. in my
opinion. that this court, and not the
district court, is the forum, and the
only forum. this side of the appellate
courts that i'll the ordinary and
proper course of procedure has any
right, authority or jurisdiction to in
terpret the ordinances of the city of
Denver Violations of the city ordn-
nnces are prosecuted in the police
court. The right of appeal is to this
court only. and thence to the Supreme
Court: thus the accused who may be
charged with their violation is af-
forded n speedy. plain. and to my mind
sufficient and adequate remedy at law,
rs the defendant will be afforded in
this case.
THE ordinances are not void. They
do not constitute the slightest in
fringement upon the constitutional
rights of women as those rights are
lawfully tested and properly under
Stood"
1T may be a discrimination against
woman to preclude her from the sa-
loon, but it is Il perfectly legal, wise
and just discrimination, sanctioned by
all the courts, and in no way conflicts
with the rightful exercise of any of her
constitutional rights as such are prop
erly used and understood. 1t is no
more of an illegal discrimination than
those wholesale regulations barring
minors and drunkards from saloons,
the legality of which has never been
questioned, yet their constitutional
rights are just as sacred as others.

and killed Salvador Parece and his

courts to determine whether the act Is
really in the interest of morality as
claimed by the legislative power. Il few
observations in this respect become
pertinent. Keeping in view these prin.
ciples as governing the relation of the
judicial and Legislative departments
of the government, is it possible to per-
ceive any ground for the judiciary to
declare that the ordinances in question
have no substantial relations to the
preservation of public morals or. public
safety or We're not fairly adapted to
the end of protecting the community
against evils which confessedly result
from the intermingling of the sexes in
consuming ardent spirits in saloons,
wine rooms or dance halls? / think
not.
with all due respect to the learned
district judge, to my mind there Is not
the slightest justification for a con-
tnry holding on the ground that the
legislative department of the govern
ment under the guise merely of police
regulation, is by the ordinance in ques-
tion aiming to deprive a class of citi-
zenS of their constitutional rights. A
thousand times rather by such regula-
tions do they preserve to the people the
very rights claimed to be invaded
Who would dare maintain that the
intermingling of opposite sexes under
such circumstances would not lead to
immoral results and the desecration of
those decent relations that should eX-
list between them? Could more de-
basing custom be well imagined in n
civilized and Christian community?
1T may - well to recall what his
tory substantihtes. that the shocking
debauchery and corruption that accom-
panied the periods of decay of nations
that have perished We're largely the re-
suit Of drunken revels of opposite
sexes in the public wine places of their
great cities. 1t may be safely asserted
that every large city in this country
has Mt least had the decency to recog-
nize immoral consequences of the con-
ditions referred to as to discourage and
prevent 1t by similar wholesome regu.
lation. Such ennctments have always
been upheld by the courts when called
upon and this court shall not depart
from the rule.
THE ordinances should be enforced
with an unsparlng hand by those in
authority, and to that end every proper
aid should be afforded by all the pow
er of the judiciary. Any other course
cannot but be fraught with the most
perilous consequences to the morals,
health and happiness of the people,"
