Suffrage Reform.

Mr. Crumpacker of Indiana agrees with
the opinion expressed by The Star last
Monday on the question of readjusting
congressional representation 1t is ques-
tion for the next Congress to deal with.
Accordingly. he will make no further eff
fort until that body meets to secure action
the proposition for which he stands
sponsor But at that time, he an
nouaces. he viii press it, and ask for a
sho~ of hands.
Meanwhile he may expect the opposition
to dwell upon. and endeavor to make CAPT
tai ont of. these contentious: CD The prop
ositiGn has for its object the establish
ment of negro rule in the south: CD the
republicans by letting the matter rest
may themselves now hope to profit by the
notification OF the fourteenth and fifteenth
amendments to the Constitution: 90 Mr.
Mckinley was opposed to the proposition,
and Mr. Roosevelt is inclined to take the
same side.
The first of these contentious is arrant
nonsense and is known to be such by
those who urge it the most vehemently.
1t does not bear a moments examination.
IT Is not credtable to its inventors and
Circulators even as political maneuVer.
The rule of intelligence and property inter-
ests in the south would be as secure as in
any other part of the country
1t is an affront to the republicans, and so
intended. to point out to them that now is
their time to share In the unconstitutional
swag that they have been denouncing. But
now is not their time. Their time will never
come and should never come, to profit by
the conditions that a t present exist in states
like Mississippi, for example.
AS to where Mr.. Mckinley stood is largely
a matter of assertion. While President he
was occupied, first with the tariff and the
finances. and then with the questions grow
ing out of the war with Spain. Neither the
platform of 1896 nor that of 1900 touched
upon constitutional representation in Con-
gress. To what leader, republican or demo-
crat, did Mr.. Mckinley ever declare himself
as in favor of the suffrage conditions exist
ing in the south? AS to where Mr.. Roose-
welt stands. who is authorized to speak for
him? He said nothing in his message about
the tariff. Does that warrant an assertion
that he is opposed TO tariff revision? Sup
pose we wait for Mr.. Roosevelt's message
to the new Congress before Interpreting
him upon the issues on which that Congress
was elected.
hr. Crumpacker is likewise right about
the Platt bill. That treatment of the ones.
ton would not meet the broad and lust
ends which the best friends of suffrage re-
form have in view.

gravity and without restriction.
This latest case shows Furthermore that
the defendant in such proceeding mas
absolutely no show whatever in court. He
may be burning hard coal in his furnaces,
or using the latest Improvement of smoke
preventing devices. or standing guard per-
sonally over his stokers. and yet be at any
moment tapped the shoulder by the off1-
cial inspector and confronted with the
charge that his chimney is emitting an
unlawful quality ofSsmoke. He has no op-
portunty TO disprove the assertion. he
cannot claim in defense that he was tax
ing every precaution known to man to pre-
vent the emission. He cannot successfully
deny the inspectors charge. He cannot
rely even upon the inspectors forgetfulness
in leaving his records at home. he Is
branded lawbreaker the moment he Is
accused and his fine is inevitable.
The court has thus again swept aside ne
rules and regula tons drawn by the iieaith
officer. 1t has once more announced us
purpose, compelled by the letter Of the law,
to fine every man brought before II whose
chimney emts smoke for any PERIOD even
though il knows that in doing it is
stimulating a contempt fer the law. = II
thus contributes effectively to the appeal
TO Congress for such amendment OF the
law as will make lawbreakers only OF the
real offenders. by stating specifically the
kind and duration of smoke emission which
shall constitute "a punishable offense. Inc
law should be so worded that it is possipie
to comply with it. on the one hand, and 10
enforce it without discrimination on the
other On the one hand no, one out a gem
uine offender should be placed under the
condemnation of the law, and on the other
hand no real vioator of an equitable la"
should be permitted to escape.

A Smoke Case in Point

circumstances conspired to bring both
the abSurdity and the harshness of the
smoke law acutely into public view In
court TO-DAY. y business man was charged
by the official inspector with violation
BY some mischance the INSPECTOR had l.ft
his records behind him But that did NOT
matter. Records are superauous ana a
burden in such prosecutions All that is
necessary. as this case proved-the renort
or the trial will be found in the news col
ufnns today-was for the inspector to pre-
sent the alleged offender to the court
judge scott in disposing of the case de-
piofeu the lack or detinitive and authori-
tatiNe time limit. But the statute he
SAID. applies in its terms to all who emit
dense smoke. for any length of time. and
the court does not recognize administrative
regulations governing the matter. So he
fined the offender in this instance 500 twice
as much as usual because the first fine
had not cured him of his smoke-emitting
propensities, as if a heavy fine could pre-
vent a chimney from emitting some dense
smoke at times of firing and could bring a
boiler-owner into strict compliance with
the law as it is construed by the courts
by enabling him to perform impossible
ties
Thus it appears from this case afresh
mat any man whose chimney emits dense
smoke for a second is guilty, and must be
punished If he is brought before the court
even though the court itself declares that
such prosecutions breed contempt for the
law. II also appears that il is unnecessary
for the inspector to prove that the smoke
was emitted beyond the minute arbitra-
rily fixed by the health officer as a per-
missive limit Indeed. there is not a Chin
rey in Washington that does not offend
against the law at some time during the
day. save those of private residences. prop
