Charter Amended

Those citizens of Irrelevant who
sought to have the charter of that
town repealed at the extra session
of the Legislature, failed to ac-
complish their purpose. Mr..
Argo, the local representative,
was opposed to its repeal and the
legislature could not be induced
to go against his wishes. The
charter, however, was amended.
we understand, so that the board
of mayor and aldermen in the
future will elect the marshall
instead of the people doing so.
Quite a number of the Irrelevant
citizens were in Nashville using
their influence for and against the
repeal of the charter.

FRIDAY. OCTOBER 3. 1913
CLOSING SALOONS

The action Of Judge Mercy
nolds is closing the saloons at
Chattanooga, which be has done
in a very effectual way, and the
stand taken by Judge Neil, of
Nashville, which means the closing
of the saloons of that city, shows
clearly that laws can be enforced
when men with backbone UNDER
take to execute them. OF course,
these men have the law behind
them, or it would be impossible
for them to do what they are doing
but it showsthat the law can be
enforced, a thing some people
have very strongly urged to be
impossible.
1t is certainly gratifying to the
people of Tennessee who believe
in law enforcement to see the
action taken by the Nashville and
Chattanooga judges. 1t is believ-
ed by many to mean the starting
of better things in Tennessee.
Every good citizen should believe
in the enforcement of law, and
it is gratifying at this time, when
the recent legislature refused to
pass law enforcement bills, to see
the law being enforced under
present statutes.
Now if some Judge with the
nerve to do SO, should show the
people Of Memphis that law can
be enforced in that city, it would
be pleasing to all lovers of law in
the state. Tennessee has had
stormy times for the last few
years, but it possible that the tide
is changing, and the action of the
judges referred to above means
the approach of a period of law
enforcement that will restore to
Tennessee the prestige she has
lost.

If the next democratic state
platform endorses the action Of
the regular democrats of the
present legislature, the party will
have an uphill fight of it. We
hope the party will be brave
enough and patriotic enough to
throw overheard these men and
the records they have made. The
time has come for Tennessee de-
mocracy to do some eliminating
and bring to the front some clean

CAN'T TELL THE TRUTH

Last weeks Register y Call makes
the unwarranted statement that this
paper misrepresented one of our lead
ing citizens in an article dealing
with the Newhouse tunnel and it's
management. AS usual our conItem-
porary goes off only half-cocked. The
facts in the case as stated in the
ARTICLE referred to which appeared i'm
the Observer of February Goth, does
not justify the Register in violating
the truth as 1t did in this instance.
The Register-Call's article is as fol-
lows:
Last weeks Observer contained
an article on the mwatering of the
Phoenix Burroughs group of claims OF
Quartz Hill, through the Newhouse
Tunnel and critised the tunnel mann
agement over the shoulders of Robert
Sayre, in which the latter gentleman
was misrepresented in the statements
published"
Mr. Sayre's letter in this weeks
issue proves that he was mot misrep-
resented in the interview referred to
in the Register.
