mains in this case the one substantial
question, and that is, whether the
primary election held under the state
law Oh the Attn day VI August next =
state election within the purEiew Of
the local option law, and therefore an
election within sixty days Of which .
local option vote is prohibited. II IL
is this writ Of mandamus should be
ouashed; IL IT is not the writ Of man
damus should be made peremptorT.
Upon that subject the authorities are
exceedingly unsatisfactory, both as TO
number and as to applicability. The
Oregon case, relied upon by respond
ents. does not seem to me TO be at all
in point. The Indiana case presented
by respondents, however, 10 In point'
and 10 some respects is the only case
that seems to touch upon the question
directly in issue, that ! have been
able to put my hands upon. But as L
read the Indiana case l am compelled
to coustrue 1t In q manner different
from the construction put upon 1t oY
counsel relying upon 1t. The same
kind OF problem in construction, grow
ing out Of the use of different words
in two sections Of the statute covering
the same subject was presented In the
Indiana case as is presented by the
t-wosections in our local option statute.
| Applying the method OF construction
used by the Supreme Court Of Indiana
70 the conflict, or rather To the ele-
ment Of uncertainty, 10 the two SEQ
lions In our statute, the result would
be this, the word ''State election" 10
the second section would have 70 be
construed with reference to, and made
more definite By, the character OF
election defined and prescribed In the
first section. In other words ! take
IL that the only intention Of the Leg
stature in1mAking the difference be
tween the two sections was 10 provide
In the second section, which Affects
cities and towns, that the prohibition
10 vote within sixty days Of q general
election, set out In the first section,
should also be extended 70 a prohibi-
ton to vote within sixty days Of .
municipal election. That the words
estate election" used In the second
section should be construed, and must
be construed, as general election' as
defined In the drst section. This con-
stFuction frees the Law from q condi-
ton that would make Ii absurd. Fol-
il would be utterly unreasonable u
assume that the Legislature for any
purpose left il free TO the people OF
the county to vote at any time OF the
year. that they chose, that was not
within sixty days OF a general election
and then 70 fixed the people OF the
town that there would be only one
month In each year In which it was
possible for them TO vote at all. Nc
theory suggested by counsel or By AMI
court. as to the reason and purpose Of
the local option Law, OF as TO the
reason Of the restriction contained In
in the Law, would meet or explain
sit uation so absurd as that. AND
therefore | take 1t that the Law
should not be SO construed. Tue mo
ton for Judgment will be sustained

Marseillaise Called For

An incident in Paris recently has called forth intense admiration of the loyalty of the French people Although they are a nation given to enjoyment, freedom and bonhomie (perhaps more than any other) when lese masjeste is involved their sin cerity and loyalty is paramount In modern times Revues in Paris have been rather daring with political subjects. These things have been met usually in the spirit In which they were intended. But one step too far took place at the ambassadeurs a few evenings ago. when the marriage of M. Jean Lanes and Mad amoiselle Fallieres, the daughter of the President of the French republic. was burlesqued with abominable taste An in- V1ted audience saw the presentation of the burlesque at a final rehearsal and a tremendous storm broke over the in- rurlated guests. Loud cries for the Mar seillaise," ascended from every part of the house. and the leader of the orches- tra, not immediately according it to the demands of the audience, was the target for many handy objects, which were used effectively until the musicians finally struck up the national anthem. It. is needless to state that the scene was never repeated.
