The following Associated Press dispatch under
date of Nashville Tennessee, September &c. indicates
that Governor Hooper is determined to enforce the
laws of the state. He has gone to the right for
assisance-the people Certainly if the people will it
they can compel obedience of law from the hopeless
minority who set themselves up in defiance Of the
statutes. The people of Tennessee have already
pressed themselves the subject of Prohibition of the
liquor traffic Let the people rule
Governor Hooper today called second extraordinary
session the Tennessee legislature consider Prohibition
law enforcement bills and in his proclamation "The
question which cononts the people Shall the laws of the
state be enforced in the city well the country,
shall the outawed saloons corupty dominate only the
cities but the legislature and the entire state?'"
The enforcement bills killed by 6libuster in the
lower house of the Legislature last week during the first
aordnary session. The second session called for October
Is. The proclamation is direct appeal to the people
"In the fight for the enforcement of laws in this
desire appeal directly the great of citizen

velopmen of the last few weeks have demonstrated my
mind that overwhelming majority of the people, regardless
of political affiliations, determined end the

Speaking of appropriate names for drinking en-
poriums, Chicago boasts of a grogshop known as
"The Sewer" That it is living close to its name is
indicated by the fact that Mayor Harrison has Just
served notice upon it that it must cut out gambling
and selling liquor Minors and that it must observe
the closing hours and quit harboring women or he
