Referring to the doctrine as laid down in these two cases, 4iiet Justice White said: 9fs
 Tt is indeed a singular misconeeptioh of the nature and chaarcter of our eon- stitutional system of government 10 sus- gest that the settled distinction whie.l the doctrine just stated points out between Judicial authority over justifiable contt,- vt isies and legislative power as to pnreiy political questions tends to destroy tne duty of the Judiciary m proper cases - enforce the constitution. The suggestion resulted from failing to distinguish be- tween things which are widely different. that IS the legislative duty 10 determihe the political questions involved in deciding whether a state government, republican in form exists, and the judicial power and ever present duty whenever It be- comes necessary in a controversy propel lv submitted to enforce and uphold tae applicable provisions of the constitution
 as to each and every exercise of govern
 emntal power.
 "How better can the broad lines which
 distinguish these two subjects be pointed cut than by considering the character @t
 the defense in this very case? The de- fendant company does not contend here that II could not have been required 10
 pay license tax. II does not assert !. at 1t was denied an opportunity to be hearu to tHe amount TOT WHICH u WHa idNFA or that there was anything lnherens ln the tax, or involved intrinslcally in the law which violated any of it's constitution al rights. If such questions had been raised they would have been justihabie, and therefore would have required the calling into operation of judicial power. Instead however, of doing any of these things the attack on the statute here made Is of a wholly different character.
 It's essentially political nature is at once made manifest by understanding that the assault which the contention here ad- vanced makes is not on the tax as taN, but on the state as d. state. lt Is ad- dressed to the frame work and political character of the government by which the statute levying the tax was passed. lt fig the government, the political entirety, is
 aIled to the bar of this court not Tor the
 purpose of testing iudicially some exer-
 else of power assailed. on the ground that it's exertion has injuriously affected tho
 rights of an individual, because of repug-
 nancy 10 some constitutional limitation,
 but to demand of the government that it
 establish its right to exist as a state.

Anderson Not MOlested

Marion Anderson, alleged assassin of Policemen Purdy and Henry of Shelby vile, who was confined in the same jail with the negroes, was taken to Nashville yesterday for safekeepng, it being ap- prehended evidently that an effort might be made to lynch him, but the mob which operated here today, it Is believed, was solely bent on averaging the murder of q fellow employe.
 The negroes who were the victims of mob violence were accused of throwing 5. w. Everson of Nashville from a train which was running at the rate of about 55 miles an hour on the afternoon of Feb ruary 10. The trouble started in Jim Crow car.
 Upon the request of Sheriff Williams for state troops to preserve order Gov ernor Hooper ordered a company of militia to the scene but countermanded the or der on receiving message from Sherif Williams that the mob had dispersed and quiet had been restored. The governor Immediately offered a reward Of soVo each for the mob leaders, the total reward not to exceed 5000.

 in Session"

Indianapolis, Ind, February l9.-That the dynamiting plots were brought to the attention of certain committees at the International Association of Bridge and Structural Iron Workers convention in Rochester, N. r., in 1910, came to light today as one of the governments charges against the 5I indicted men.

Are Unmasked

None of the members of the mob wore masks. They attended the preliminary trial of the negroes, which was conducted at the courthouse by Magistrate James r. Brantley, who bound the defendants over to court The negroes were attacked by the mob as they were being taken to jail after the trial, about ? o'clock. They were in the custody Of Sheriff Williams and six deputies and were going down the steps of the courthouse when the mob attacked them Greer was shot in the stomach and killed on the steps. Neal and Bomar were beaten up, the former being serious ly wounded.
 The officers rushed the wounded ne groes into the sherlff's s office the door or which was locked and the sheriff sta- toned himself on guard at the entrance About i:l5 o'clock the mob returned, over powered the sheriff and removed him from the building. A man, alleged to be brother of Everson. then broke Into Inc office and fired once at each of the ne- groes.

Explosions Stopped

The charge is that a delegate al the convention. known to the government, demanded that the explosions temporarily be stopped at a time when many steel and iron works under erection by "open shop" contractors were being blown up and in that way many officials. including President Frank M. Ryan, Herbert s. Hockin, vice president, and members of the executive board, had the subject brought to their attention. What was the real motive of the delegate in offer ing the resolution was not divulged, but 1t Is pointed cut that J. J. McNama ra, the convicted dynamiter. and Ortie Me Manigal were on their way from Indian apolis to Rochester when. according to MeManigals confession McNamara de- cided to leave at Cleveland a suitcase containing 20 quarts of nitrogycerin. Me Manigal asserted McNamara had mapped out a series of explosions which were to be presents to the convention
 Information from delegates who had arrived in advance al Rochester is held by the government as having induced McNamara to 'change his plans. That information, the indictment charges, was that the international officials, including President Ryan, were aware of the dyna- mite plots and that some of the men now indicted objected to any unusual num- Der of explosions while the convention was in session

The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-02-20
McManigal Quoted

In this connection McMangars con fesslon Is quoted as stating, "McNa- mara said he wanted a lot of open shop jobs blown up at one time to make the delegates feel good Just before meet ings of the executive committed Me Namara wanted many jobs pulled off. so it would please the members and show them business was good. The 20 quarts of nitroglycerin with which we started out from Indianapolis we left with Pete Smith in Cleveland"
 The year of the convention 25 bridges. viaducts and buildings were reported blown up in various parts of the coun- try.
 Advices were received by the govern ment today that at least half d dozen of the defendants are preparing to tell all they know" It was said that de- velopments resulting from new informa- ton the government expects to receive might be expected before all the men are arraiened here on March 12.

Is Political Problem for Congress, Says Supreme
 Court
THE DECISION IS OF
 GREAT IMPORTANCE
Provisions in Missouri, California, Arkansas, Colorado. South Da- kota, Utah and Other States
 Hang Upon Decision

Washington. February 1s.-Only Con- gress and not the supreme court of the United States may object to the initia- tive and referendum method of legis- lation in the states, so the court itself decided today.
 That tribunal held that the question of whether a state still maintained a. republican form of government. guar anteed by the federal constitution, after it adopted the initiative and referen- dunn method was a political problem for Congress and not a judicial dne for the courts.
 Of Great Importance
 The decision was based on the claim of the Pacific States Telephone and Tel egraph company, that tax upon il. im- posed by the initiative and referendum method in oregon, was uneonstitutional. The initiative and referendum provfs- ions in Missouri California, Arkansas. Colorado, South Dakota. Utah, Mon tana, Oklahoma, Maine and Arizona hung in the balance. An adverse de- cis'on would have affected proposed legislation of that character In many other states.
 Chiel Justice Nnlte dnhouilceu iha decision of the court. None of the justices dissented
 The chief justice said that "a singu- lar mlsapprehension" had existed on both sides Of the case. but that the "msts and confusions' were dispelled by the decision of Chief Justice Fancy years ago in which he disposed of the Dorrs rebellion question. That was the case of Luther vs. Borden, he said. nd h. n the guaranty of republican form pf) to the states belonged td the political department of the gov 1 ernment and came up, for instance, piH tho admission of senators and members of the House to their respective bodies The chief justice called attentlon 10 Chief Justice Fuller following lsutitp1 4h E., Fen in tho fify1soNefsE YVef l4t.t Kentueky government in tt Fase Yfl Taylor Vs.

TACK had been saying that he had jus learned a ew motto at school
what is it" Evelyn wanted to know.
a. why" replied Jack, its Never put off till tomorrow what yu cal
do > well today"
"A very good motto" daddy assented. And that reminds m of a story
which you may like to- hear.
Once upon a time, in the good old days when fairies were found in every
buttercup and the little birds and the wild creatures of the woods were the
friends Of the good and true, there lived in England a wise and great king who
wa said himself to be kin o. the fairies.
at was known that a wise enchanter wa his friend and often gave him ad-
vice about his kingdom.
And though this king IA 10 wise that his name is still known in England
a that of the most wonderful king who ever ruled the Brhons, be sometimes
mad mistakes. His name may ID well tell you, was Arthur.
Arthur ws the strongest man and the most skHlful fighter in the country
Some persons said there vas no n in the world like him.
But day the great Merlin, who vas his adviser or prime minister
thought he would teach King Arthur a lesson. SO by means of the magic in
which lie was skilled Merlin made a queer creature, all head and arms appear
before King Arthur and dare him t. a wrestling match.
Arthur smiled when he saw the figure Perhaps his friend Merlin was
in the habit Of playing tricks like this O. the king, or his majesty did no
seem to be In the leastsu surprised and frightened by a sight odd enough to scare
persons unused to such visitors tut If a years growth.
"Oh yes; I'll wreste with you time! the king said. But no today.
I'm cry busy, you see'
"The next day the figure m again, but Arthur had another reason for
putting it off. Arthur thought then, but he wasn't sure, that the figure looked
a little larger than on the day before.
The next day it came back and the next and next. Always the king had
some excuse why he had not time to wrestle with the goblin, and each day 1t
grew bigger and bigger untnR at last 1t became Of such an aarmtngy hge size
that the king felt that 1t would lot b. saeto put off the match a minute longer.
$50 Arthur rose, and the goblin and the king wreshed long and furiously.
AT first it looked as though the goblin might win, but Arthur would not give up.
At lasth he had the goblin down and ready to say 1t was beaten.
"As the goblin rose to its feet it said:
Never put off a task till tomorrow that can be done as well today
Then the goblin vanished and vas never seen more"
