automobile Regulation. Abroad.

While the automobile laws In some
of the Swiss cantons are unequaled
for restrictive features, some other
European countries present laws that
are almost equally severe. The Ger
man government. for one. persists in
treating the motor-driven vehicle as
a thing TO he greatly feared. The
German law, which is In force
throughout the empire, prescribes a
| maximum speed of 3 miles an hour
in all towns and villages. The eff
feet of this regulation, 1t is said. has
been TO increase the congestion of
the streets to a greater extent than
was ever before. The German re-
quirements with regard to driving Ii
censes are also remarkable. The ap-
piicant must furnish his photograph,
/ mis- birth certificate, and a certificate
from his physician testifying to his
good physical condition and freedom
from illness Then, after his moral
character has been certified to. he is
given series of severe road tests to
show driving capacity. If he emerges
unscathed. he is given license.
Italy this year also placed in effect
a new motor-vehicie law that Is con
sidered harsh in some of It's phases
| especially with regard to the fines
that may be imposed. The penalty
| for driving through a town or villags
at greater speed than the low rate
prescribed is from $50 to 500. In the
open country no car is allowed "a
travel at more than % miles an hour
In daylight and 12I miles at night
There are good reas ons in Italy, how
ever. for compelling cars to travel
| slowly in the villages. In many
| cases the streets are entirely without
ifootpatks. and some are so mar
row that a person may be knocked
down rs he steps out OF doors from
a house. n Is said that the reckless
driving OF motordriven vehicles own

Still Fighting Uncle Joe.

1t is not in the least surprising that
Representative Haugen, of Iowa,
should feel resentful just now. AL
though he has been renominated, as an
insurgent member, to Congress, from his
native State, his majority was barely
sufficient to tide him over. The theory
of insurgency in Iowa was overthrown,
for, in spite of the efforts of Senators
Dolliver and Cummins, the stand-pat
Republicans gave to Gov. Carroll a
comfortable majority and prevented
Representative Smith from being de-
feated.
But there is undoubtedly a secret
feeling in the Iowa delegation.
Iowa is the home State of insurgency.
The most strenuous fight in Congress
has been caused by the two Senators
from Iowa Congressman Smith was
Speaker Cannon's right hand man on
the Rules committee. He is a close
friend Of Senator Lodge, Senator
Aldrich and Senator Elkins.
1t was decided that, if any one
should be defeated, it should be Con-
gresham Smith. But Des Moines and
Council Bluffs were true to their allie
glance, and Smith was renominated.
Failing to defeat the confidential
friend of Speaker Cannon, the members
from Iowa, of insurgent faith, have
decided to renew the fight against
Speaker Cannon, not so much with the
hope of really ousting him from the
Speakers chair, but to cause him fur
ther humiliation.
Enough is enough, and even the
Democrats will not consent to go fur
ther. Cannon has been removed from
the Rules committee His power, as
Speaker, has been virtually taken from
him. 1t is doubtful whether he will
be reelected, or whether he will seek
reelection, although the people Of the
Danyille district insist that he must go
back to Congress. Should he return to
that body, he will not be a candidate
for Speaker, and has so announced
Having gained all this, why should
the insurgents want more Cannon is
an old man. He is a speaker of the

Harris Death Natural.

Tiptonyille, Tenn, June 12-An er
roneous report has gone out that ther,
was foul play coG-ected with the death
Of Judge Harris, who lost his life in
Reelfoot Lake at 4 O'Clock Saturday af-
ternoon.
There is absolutely nothing to indi.
cate that such was the case The gen.
tlemen, William Clegg, Geo. F. Leak
and fisherman by the name Of Brew
er, who were with Fr.. Harris at the
time of his death, were all his friends
and were helpless to do anything for
him at the time.
They had spent the day at the lake,
and just before returning home they
concluded to try their Workmanship.
Mr.. Harris held up a cigar between his
fingers and asked Mr.. Clegg to shoot it
off, which he did; then Mr. Clegg held
up one and Mr.. Harris shot it off. See
ing that their craftsmanship was equal,
Mr.. Harris decided to do a stunt that
they could not do, as was his nature,
and proposed to go in swimming with
their clothes on, but they refused on the
ground that they could not swim. Mr..
Harris threw himself into the water to
show what he could do. His heart failed
and he went down before his compan-
ions could get to him with the boat,
They had no large fish hooks and had
to go some distance to get some to drag
with.
Drs. j. f. Griffin and J. D. Alexan-
der examined the body and found that
he had come to his death by heart fail
ure. There was no water in the body
He had been raised here and had been
in the lake many times and had no fear
of the water
A person would have to know Judge
Harris to appreciate the situation. His
to excel in anything he un-
dertook, no doubt, is what led him to
this act.

old school. He has adopted the tactic
of Reed, but with all that he is enti-
tied to respect and consideration. His
old age and long service should entitle
him to this. As member of the Rules
committee he was offensive to Demo-
Gratis especially. They joined with the
insurgens to have him removed from
the committee, not dismissed from the
Speakers chair. He has been reproved.
1t is not necessary to make martyr OF
him. Had this sudden display of
venom come from any other State, or
from any other Congressman than Hau-
gen, it would be different. The people
of the ten rural counties he represents
are rock-ribbed Republicans, even il
they are semi-insurgents, and they will
not applaud the action of the recently
nominated gentleman, to visit the i'm
surgent spite of his State on veteran
who has been sufficiently punished
already. Commercial Appeal.

PASSING OF THE SALOON.
Anniversary of the Event in Ten
nessee on July 3rd.
BY sIIENA NJ. HOLMAN.

The Anti-Saloon League and the
Woman's Christian Temperance Union
have united in a plan for the observ-
ance of Sunday, July Srd, 1910, as the
the anniversary Of the passing of the
legalized saloon from Tennessee.
These two organizations have been
earnestly engaged for many years in
the effort to rid the State of the liquor
traffic. And they think that this first
anniversary is a fitting occasion to be
observed as day of thanksgiving for
past victories, as a day of prayer for
the continued success of the temper
rnce movement, and as day of prepa-
ration and encouragement for the con-
flicts that lie ahead. So they are asking
the pastors of the churches of every
denomination over the State to lead in
arranging for suitable services in their
churches or communities on that day
They maintain that the law is well
enforced in most OF the smaller towns
of the State that the reason it has
not been properly enforced in the cities
OF Tennessee is that there has been a
determined purpose on the part OF
those in power that it shall not be en-
forced, in the hope Of thus bringing
discredit upon the law, and securing its
repeal that when men in favor of the
law are elected, as they will be some
time, the law will be enforced in the
cities as it is in tens of thousands of
other places in the United States. SO
they are further urging that the pastors
will preach on the subject of law en-
forcement and the necessity OF electing
men to Office who are in favor Of the
law and its enforcement
The conflict is still on, say they, the
issue now being to save the prohibitory
law and make it effective. Therefore
they urge that no compromise be made |
with the people who are fighting the
law, but that the warfare be continued |
until men are elected who will see that
the law is properly enforced and the
victory complete.
The pastors over the State have hith-
erto co-operated with every move of
this kind, and will doubtless unite in
the effort to observe the first anniver-
iary of prohibition in Tennessee, and
use their influence in the continuation
If the fight.

in their business operations the first of

men will be sent out of Memphis July

in great measure, local institution.

ter and will be under the management
of Mr. Hughes, native Of this State
and resident Of Memphis for over
three years.
For the first month the big flour dis
tributing house will make use of accom-
dations secured at Poston's warehouse,
but, beginning August 1, it will occupy
a large two-story apartment of the big
building going up at Georgia street
