it gained strength enough to beat

be an insurgent if he chooses to be.

Prohibitonists Alleee State and Mu-
nicipaI Officers Refused to
Enforce Law.

Memphis, Tenn.-Aid of the Federal
courts was successfully invoked by
the Law and Order League to en-.
force the prohibition law which the
city, county and state authorities have
not enforced in MemDhls' United
States Judge Mccall granted a tenn
porary order against ia saloons,
pending hearing, restraining them
from serving Intoxicating liquor.
The Federal court took jurisdiction
on the allegations of the petitioners
that were deprived of the equal pro-
lection under the law guaranteed by
the fourteenth amendment to the con.
stitution. They allege that the state
prohibition law is being enforced in
other parts of the state, but the gov.
ernor attorney general and county at
torney general, with other officials,
have refused to enforced the law here,
and, therefore, the United States court
can take jurisdiction.
On the grounds that irreparable in
jury might be done the compliments
if delay were permitted, Judge Mccall
granted the temporary injunction.
The action, which was total sur
prise to the saloons and the local op-
tionists, was the elimination of
long and bitter fight to enforce pro-
nibition in Memphis, the largest city
in which it has ever been tried.
The statewide law passed in the
spring OF 1909, and was supposed to
go into effect on July l of that year.
It was partially enforced for a time
in Knoxville, but in Memphis, stu
ated on the river and practically the
metropolis of three States-Tennes-
see, Arkansas and Mississippi-there
has never been any more serious eff
fort to enforce prohibition than the
presentation of evidence to the grand
jury.
The body regularly failed to indict,
and the city and county officials have
acknowledged the impossibility of
closing the saloons
The Law and Order League has
been making a campaign for law en-
forcement, and the present political
campaign, which is now on in Ten.

This is true story about Tommy
and his pup, mostly about the pup.
The pup was Tommy's understudy.
When Tommy was glad the pup re-
joiced as to his tail When Tommy
was sad it was mournful to note the
decorous grief Of the pup. In dispo-
sition they were twins, Tommy and
the pup; in every expedition COM

All, the rare friendship of boy and

But capricious fate separated the
pup from the boy forever Tommy

Comes along a boy. This pup bright

selfhood shows in him. He shifts at
the boys heels. The boy kicks at the
outcast, who deftly lodges. The dog
is a pariah-all the world against one
common, onery, disheartened yellow
pup.
But the moods Of dog are not long

A diversion appears. A street arab

another arab. Hi" says the pup to
himself, there's something worth

after the ball. Every drop of his
sporty dog blood is a-tingle.
The arab beats the dog in the race
for the ball and rolls it back In a
jiffy the pup whirls and goes for it.
This is n touch of high life. He is nc
dog. He is dog full of joy.
The children Of the school near by
are let loose. They stream down the
street. The pup leaves off leaping In
great curves after the ball and leaps
up to the children He would licB

the midgets is frightened, and Their
