NULLIFY1NG STALE LAWS.

The committee OH temperance of the
Methodist general conference has sub
mitted very emphatic report on the
continued refusal of congress to stop
the interstate shipment of liquors into
",:rv'' territory. This has necn enc
of the abnormal conditions that has
made the enforcement of prohihitory
liquor laws impossible.
\ state, or a considerable portion of
a state. prohibits all liquor traffic; but
it has no control, it seems, over ship
ments made from outside its borders
to any part Of this territory This is
interstate traffic, over which congress
alone has authority.
The result is the anomalous situation
that the United States permits within
a state what the state itself prohibits:
that the United States practically null
lifes state laws: that the United States
aids in law violation and law defiance
within the states.
It does this, too, as regards those
laws which are exclusively within the
rights of re states-the police law.
These :e supposed to include only ex-
clusively rights retained by the states,
and yet in this one field in which the
state remains supreme, the federal gov
eminent aids and abets law avoidance.
It does not matter whether person
believes in prohibition or not; if that
is a condition the people of the state
want, they have right to have it, and
for congress to permit those Of other
states to override and nulify the will
of such a state, is most disereditable
and dangerous precedent.
What a state wants or does not want
within its boundaries, that it has a
right to have or not to have, 50 long
as it falls within the rules of police
regulations. Its people should not be
forced to see law they have deliber-
ately adopted made imperative by the
connivance of congress.
Possibly, if not probably, states
might be less ready to adopt prohibi-
tory laws if there was not this loop
hole for making them apply only to a
part of the population. But that is nc
ones concern except the people Of the
several states as governmental units.
Certainly the only position congress
can decently take is that it will nc
longer be an accompice to such avoid
ance and notification of the laws of
the several states.

SWAT THE FLY.

Swat the fly! All right, swat him,
he is nuisance, annoying and dirty
beast. But what is the use, while the
breeding grounds for millions more
of flies than the population of men can
possibly swat, are permitted?
We swat the fly exactly as W. 10
the consequences Of other evils, while
we permit the evils. And we can 60
on at the process all our lives, expend-
ing our energies, our money, our time,
in this proftless, never-ending, mono
tonous routine, and still leave it as an
inheritance to our children.
While We are cleaning one room of
flies by this process, we might remove
one breeding place that would have
a thousand times as effective result
Similarly while we are relieving the ills
that come from ONE evil source, We
might effect thousand times the re
suit if, with the same expenditure, we
remove this source.
We arc to have correctional farm
for petty offenders. This is good, but
what is the origin Of the offenses tina
make this farm necessary Is it no
certain that whateve the population Of
this farm next year, it will be large:
every su"tt eding year?
We are to have detention nom, fo
juvenile delinquents and an industrial
school girls. These, too, are good
but as the years pass they will mere
ly have to be made larger, until tn
conditions which fill them are changed
So it is that in every direction W
are swatting flies of all sorts to pre-
vt:. an increase Of bad eli; .snshi
from cen:aminating influences Vile
we get tired of this we can ant. wi
change the onslauht to the source
and causes, so making it unnecessar
to kill the flies, because there will b
no flies to kill.
Some day every baby will be Dor
into a clean, decent, light, sanitar
home and have the inheritance of SC
hr;ety s,nt industry that assures gcc
citizenship. In the meanwhile, how
ever, a good portion Of the babies Dor
in every city will come into darl
squalid, dismal homes of dire poverty
from drunken, half imbecile, immol
al, hopeless, degraded praentage.
And during this meanwhile we wi
continue to swat the fly.

VOTERS MUST. CHOOSE TWO.

1naC tne NoTtn DahOtd law prOVlQ-
ing for the first and second choice
makes it mandatory that the voters
make known such choice, is the opin-
ion Of Attorney General Miller, which
was made public yesterday. Several
days ago it was stated that other
states operating under the first and
second choice idea had been compelled
to indicate both choices, and the attor-
ney general of North Dakota holds
that this state comes under the same
provision.
His ruling follows:
Hon. P. D. Norton, secretary of
state, Bismarck, N. D.
Dear Sir: I have your favor of
May End, in which you PROFOUND the
following questions:
(1) Must each elector vote his first
and second choice, vote for the candi-
dates for Office for which first and
second choice is provided?
~ If the elector votes his first
choice only and there are three or
more candidates for the Office for
which he votes, is the vote in that case
valid or should it not be counted for
the reason that the elector fail to in
dictate his second choice. ..
| Chapter PIP of the session laws Of
1912, provides among other things, that
"When there are three or more candi-
dates for the same office for United
States senator or any congressional OF
state Office, there shall be printed up.
on the ballot at the right Of the name
of each candidate Tor such Office, a
square in column marked FIRST
choice, and at the right of the first
choice' column a square in a column
marked Second choice There shall
be printed above the name Of the can
didate for such Office the following
'Vote for both first and second choice
for this Office
"No voter snail vote FOR the same
candidate for both first and second
choice. To vote for person whose
name is not printed on tn eballot
write or paste his name in the blanl
space provided for thai purpose.
"It is my opinion that the provis
ions of chapter PIP just quoted requir
ing the elector to vote for both frs
and second choice, if there are thre,
or more candidates for the same Office
) is mandatory.
II am further Of the opinion tina
the failure to vote for both first AM
! second choice, where there are three O
more candidates running for the sam
! position, will avoid the ballot as t.
that particular Office where both frs
and second choice vote is required, blu
t that it will not affect or avoid the bal
lot except as to such Office.

laws Of Washington and Idaho on thi
= subject, and as sustaining my view
