MOHAMMED AND THE MOUNTAIN.

What is the source of the saying, "If
the mountain won't come to Moham-
med, Mohammed must go to the noun
tain?" READER.
1.-THE tale as told by the true be-
levers is that Mohammed was chal-
lenged to a miracle in proof of his d.
vine calling. He commanded Mount
Safa to come to him. and when it
stirred not at his bidding exclaimed:
God is merciful. Had it obeyed my
words 1t would have fallen on us to our
destruction. I will, therefore, 60 to the
mountain and thank God hat he had
mercy on a stiff-necked generation"

Philadelphia Voices Dsphasmre at
Governor Forts Atlantic City Threat

% PHILADELPHIA, which turns to
Atlantic City for it's pleasure, as
Greater New York does to the
Coney Island district. Is watching care
fully the developments at the New
Jersey coast resort. Sentiment in the
Pennsylvania metropolis is reflected by
the following editorial comments, the
first from the Public Ledger:
Governor Fort, of New Jersey, who
is plainly eager to attract the atten-
ton of the nation, issues to the people
of New Jersey a screaming proclama-
ton on excise and gambling conditions
in Atlantic City, with the apparent pur-
pose of trying to convince the world
that Atlantic City is a 'saturnalia Of
vice and a mere maelstrom of crime
and iniquity. In this proclamation
there is a threat that the city will be
invaded by the State troops n placed
under martial law.
I'm his address to the people he say
that he hesitates between two courses,
and asks judgment. He will await the
results of next Sundays law enforce-
ment in Atlantic City, and then, II there
shall be no reform, he proposes to de-
clare martial law n place the resort
under the control of troops. or call a
special session of the Legislature, so
that it may either make a grant to
cover the expenses of the ripping OF
Atlantic City by force of arms or enact
special legislation which shall place the
drawing OF grand juries in the hands
Of a commission, and also pass a Law
enabling the Governor to remove local
officials at will after a hearing.
"rhe Governor inclines finally to the
eXpedient of calling the Legislature. If
there be any sane n equable people
in l. State who have influence with
him, or if he be in a condition of mind
to receive advice, he should be strongly
urged to put aside now and decisively

of troops until expressly authorized and

under martial law the military would
have complete cotrol. But after the
military a gone, what then? Wouldn't
h side door swing again as of yore-
just as it has been swinging ever since
Atlantic City was a seaside resort -?
You can't legislate a man into
heaven nor can you drive morality into
his body by a profuse use of bullets.
Even more drastic laws might be
passed by the Legislature. A ripper
bill might be adopted under which
binding restrictions might be placed
upon the city. But after all, there can
be no genuine and lasting reform until
the citizens of the place shall them
selves decree it. When they arise in
their might and declare that the lid
shall not be lifted juries will convict
and the 'saturnalia of vice. as the Gov
ernor calls it, will be terminated. 1t
is public opinion that Atlantic needs,
not Calling guns.
The Governors progress at reform
ing Atlantic will be watched with
interest, for if he is to carry out his
policy to the logical end, he will have to
martial law. What, for instance, is ne
going to do with Asbury Park and
Ocean Grove? Those twin resorts are
prohibition towns and yet the Excise
Commission has discovered that one ton
of liquor flows into them each day.
There is Jersey City, Hoboken, Newark.

means to be unique in IT'S defiance,
Surely the Governor has got a consid-
cradle proposition on his hands If he is

TATUTe ENFORCEMENT AND REPEAL.

THE theory that a statute that may be offensive to the great majority Of the
people Of a State should be strictly enforced in order to compel hsr repeal is all
right as a theory but it doesn't fit political conditions in New Jersey. Three
fomths of the States population may be bitterly opposed % a statute IN yet
be unable to get it repealed. The reason is that the one-fourth controls legis-
1aton. There are I'D statutes sim existence that are violated by common consent
that are unrepeaed, because rural sentiment opposes repeal, and rural seni-
nent is domnant in the State Senate The public ian who takes refuge in
that theory docs lot do it honestly He knows better.
Voters are, of course better prepared to accept Senator Cohy's definitions
of his attitude on the excise question as given in his campaign speeches, than
take the labored editorial explanations OF his views from. his newspaper sup
porter Senator Colby must DC permitted to enundatea and establish his political
