THE REDLIGHT QUESTION.

Editor Ell Paso Herald:
Again the question has arisen as to
whether or not the restricted district
of the city has been closed. The dis
trict is not closed now, nor was it en-
tirely closed at the time, a few days
ago, when we all were rejoicing over
the seeming triumph Of decency over
filth and vice.
There was a period Of three days
when Broadway was at its darkest.
when its sin and degenerates were not
Haunted at every passerby. when the
pure air was undefiled by the Oaths
and obscene words Of its inmates: but.
and may we well hang our heads in
evidence, the DrazenneSs is at the same
pitch as previously. and Broadway. FL

NATIONAL PROHIBITION.

NATIONAL PROHIBITION.
Editor FL Paso Herald:
Referring to your editorial of March
about law recently enacted by
congress:
Stripped of verbiage, this law says:
Shipment of intoxicating liquor from
one state into another state Of the
United States in violation Of the laws
Of the state receiving the shipment is
prohibited.
The last two words. lis prohibited, -
are the closing and unqualified words
Of the law. They may raise the in
teresting question IS to which shall do
the prOhibiting-the national govern
ment or the state government; or.
shall both do so?
ProhibitiOnfsts generally will be well
satisfied If the construction of the law
places the prOhibitOry duty upon the
national government because that
would place the enforcement Of the
law farthest away from local In
fluences.
The intent Of the law. as is well
known, was limited to removal Of the
bar of interstate commerce laws from
the exercise Of the police powers CT
the states desiring to prohibit the
liquor traffic.
The decision Of the supreme court
Of the United States on February q
last, declaring the Mann act (prOhlblt-
ing interstate traffic in womens for
immoral purpOsesl constitutional. IS
interesting and significant in cOnnec-
ton with the question above sug-
gested.
In the course of this decision, the
court said: Our dual form of gov
eminent has its perpleXities, state and
nation having different spheres Of
jurisdiction, as we have said; but #
must be kept in mind that We are
one people; and the powers reserved
to the states and those conferred on
the nation are adapted to be exercised.
whether independently or cOncurrently.
to promote the general welfare, ma
terial or moral"
we'll known decisions OF the same court
law prohibiting interstate traffic IN
lottery tickets. and declaring that the
liquor traffic has no inherent right
to exist and that no citizen has n
natural. right to sell intoxicating
liquor. all on the primary governmental
principle and duty OF protection of the
general welfare, material and moral.
has laid a secure and constitutionally
sound foundation on which to uphold
the cOnstitutiORality Of this recent
national liquor legislation embOdying
precisely the same general principle
This principle Is the one on which
rests the cOnstitutiOnality of the laws
prohibiting interstate SHIPMENT OF dis

is in fact. little doubt that the new
law will be upheld by the courts

HEAT INTENSE LIVE STOCK AND
 CROPS SUFFER

Kansas City, Mo-. Aug. 14-Fresh reports of exhausted water supply, ill., ness from bad water and heat, crops burned beyond redemption and panic conditions among livestock raisers reached here on the 11th consecutive day of extreme heat in Mississippi, Kansas and Oklahoma Rainfall in the last 24 hours has been negligible and prospects for more in the next 24 hours are of the poorest.
 Wells from which the water supply of Lawrence, Kas., a city of 5000 in habitants was obtained were dry, to- day, and the water from the Kansas river, now very low, was turned into the main subcisterns of Lawrence which are dry. Growing fields about corn can scarcely even produce fod- der. The authorities of SsdEWick county are taking advantage of dry rivers and creeks to repair bridges.
 In the district about Hutchinson Kas., although there has been no good rain for weeks and the heat has been intense, crops and livestock have suf- fered little because of the sand strata underflow of water.
 Many orchards, market gardens and alfalfa fields in the district are being irrigated from this underf1ow.
 St. Joseph, Mo, reported, today, two deaths from heat in "A hours. In the corn raising district about St. Joseph, farmers have abandoned hope of say ing the grain and are cutting the stalks for fodder.

TURN HOSE ON MOB
 IN LABOR WAR

NIinot, N D.. Aug. 14-The labor war in Minot has gained such propor- tions that officials are discussing, the advisability of appealing to the gov- ernor for state troops. One hundred more Industrial Workers Of the World are reported to be on their way to this city.
 The determination of citizens to pre- vent street parading took form last night and a mob attacked Industrial Workers who were holding a meeting. The Industrial Workers resisted and scenes of disorder followed.
 Police and deputies forced their way through the mob, striking right and left. The disturbance continued un- abated until 27 of the Industrial Work CTS had been arretsed.
 Fearing a jail delivery would be at tempted, officers armed with rifles were stationed on the roofs of the jail and adjacent buildings throughout the night. The prisoners, now numbering 139, howled most of the night and the din could be heard for blocks. At one time the fire department was called out and turned the hose on them in an effort to quelI the disturbance.
 According to the leaders of the In dustria1 Workers, the battle will re- suTne upon the arrival of reinforce ments and the authorities are conf dent in their declarations that order shall be preserved at any cost.

 Or Otherwise

The formal finding of Coroner John J.

But the coroner adds that he feels justified in leaving the determination of the fact of criminal responsibility with the criminal authorities, for he feels req sonably convinced that the decea sed came to his death accidentally Lu- dovico is held at the County jail on the charge of murder in the first de- gree.

TROLLEYMEN FORM UNION AND THEN
 DODGE OFFICIALS

Indianapolis, Aug. 14-A humorous situation developed here early today when the officials of traction compa- nies entering Indianapolis were sleep fly awaiting for trainmen employed by the various lines to emerge from a building where they last night com pleted the formation nof a union. The conductors and motormen began their session early last evening, and shortly afterwards officials of the various in terurban lines drove to the hall in au- tomobiles and trained the headlights on the many exits.
 The men in the hall called the police saying the officials were interfering
 with their meeting, but a squad of pa trolmen sent to the place found noth- ing to do but to keep the crowds mov- ing. During the entire night the off, cials remained at their posts, declar- ing they would not leave until the en- ployes came from the building The trainmen who had secretly formed their union, appeared to be satisfied with the conditions and chose to re- main in the hall rather than to leave and be recognized by. their euperiors At daybreak the situation was un- changed.
