important English Railroad Decision

important EngTTSh RdITTodd OeCTSToh.
A passenger in a full railway car
riage in England has a perfect legal
right TO push away anyone else who
tries to get into it. This decision was
given at Marylebone police court when
a man complained that he was pushed
out of a carriage at Bishops Road sta
tion by another passenger, who said
the car was full. 'It is the duty OF
conductors" said the court, Ito see
that the trains are not overcrowded.
They are perfectly entitled to use rea-
sonable force to prevent anyone from
boarding cars when they are full. If
they fail to avail themselves OF this
right the passengers are entitled to
act for themselves"

Anent the prohibition ques- tion, which is now agitating the country, the following from the Memphis Commercial-Appeal, of recent date, may be of some in- terest. If the consumption ofin- toxicating liquors actually in crease under prohibition instead of decreasing, as the statistical figures, given by the Commer- cial, show, both as to quantity in the aggregate. and the quan- tity used per capita, 1t most as suredly proves that prohibition does not prohibit:
 "But the most significant an- swer of the liquor people is that, despite the rapid expansion of the dry territory in the last few years, the consumption of both distilled and fermented H. quors has been steadily on the increase. In 1907 1t appears that 34.031,0 ,066 gallons of dis titled spirits were consumed, as against 122,617,943 i'll 1906, and 115. .99+, ,S57 in 1905; while 1873, ,475, ,552 gallons of fer mented liquors were consumed, this being 127,0oo,000 gallons more than were consumed in 1906, and nearly 200, 100000 more than were consumed in 1905.
 There has alo been steady in crease in the per capita con. sumption The average Ameri- can drank 1.5S gallons of whis- key and % gallons of beer in 19o7-the largest amount he has ever drunk in any year in the history of the republic. In 1906 he drank l45 gallons of wsiskey and 20.9 gallons of beer. In 1905 he drank Al gallons of whiskey and 19 ? gal Ions of beer. Ten years ago he drank less than a gallon ofwhis- ky and 15.+ gallons of beer. We use the word "whisky@ here for all distilled spirits, and "beer" for all fermented li- euors."

The above communication has the right ring, and is somewhat persuasive, out by no means con vineing that we were ill error in our political prognostications. While we are neither a prophet or son of one, nevertheless, judging the future by the past, we arc constrained to believe that Senator Davis invasion oi the state in kirby's interest, will greatly benefit Kirby.
 We do not think that Senator Davis can, or will, force anyone to vote for Kirby against his convictions; but. after hearing Davis, his old time supporters and admirers will be very much convicted that it is their duty to vote as the Senator wishes them l to do.
