BOOZE VANISHING.

Slowly but surely the coils are
tightening about King Booze. The
long and exhausting fight in Tennes-
see for temperance and for good gov
eminent promises at last success
full consumation. While the recent
session of the legislature did not do
all that it should have done, it took
advanced steps. 1t passed laws that
will make the Bookkeeping fraternity
have a harder time than they have
ever had. The shipping bills are 60
ing to make it mighty difficult for
those who illegally dispense liquors
to get their stocks. With the great
railroad and express corporations CO.
operating for the enforcement OF the
laws. the outlook for the outlawed
traffic is gloomy.
This contest for good government
in Tennessee, continued for eight
years without interruption, has been
the longest and the hardest fought
that the people of any state have ev-
er made. Difficulties that have ap-
peared all but insurmountable, have
been met and overcome. Reverses
have been turned to victories. But
one thing now remains to insure the
complete triumph of the cause at the
next election and that is decision OF
the supreme court ousting the ma
chine election board appointed under
an act passed in the absence OF q
constitutional quorum. With such
decision from the supreme court
there will be no doubt of the result
next year.
The state wide prohibition law was
enacted more than four years ago
Instead of accepting the verdict OF
the constitutional law makers the liz
nor dealers set their will up against
that of the sovereign state. They
refused to yield to the plain mandate
of the law: they openly challenged
, the supremacy of the sovereign
, state. Under the circumstance:
there was but one course for the ad

PLACE
IS OPERATING

One of the bus y places in this city
is the Woodbury. Assay Office. where
one of the main studies, is the turn
ing out OF zine shavings for cyanide
purposes. For years the plant was
maintained at Empire and lately o
cd to this city. In order to supply
the demand for this material nearly
a tor of zinc is turned off the lathe
each week. 1t has been a hard hustle
lately to get the raw material. as the
excessive heat in the east shut down
the rcfineries. In order t o keep the
supply going material has been ship
ped in from the coast.
The demand for zinc in cyaniding
seems to be growing instead of di-
miuishing. There has been no salts
factory substitute found for the pre-
cipitant and it is keeping the home
plant hustling to keep up with the
orders.
When it is considered that zinc
i, mined in Nevada. sent east for re
timing and returned to go back into
business within the state is seems
that a coast refinery might be able to
help out to a certain degrees, As it
has meant freight twice across the
continent, with local freight and haul

why should We think fearsomely of the

any other winter, on the copper-lined,

we are alarmed about in Mr.. Devoe's
forecast is its possible effects on buds

MR.. MALTBIE ON HOME RULE

MR.. WILLIAM H. MALTBIE, of the
last House of Delegates of Maryland, has
inaugurated through the Baltimore
News, a movement to reform the present
legislative practice in this State and
provide the counties and Baltimore City
with a larger measure of home rule"
The plan would remove from the sessions
of the State Legislature the considera-
ton of a great mass of purely local bills
(many OF them of very trivial char
acter), permitting such matters to be
decided by the local offcials-in the
counties of course, by the Boards OF
County Commissioners.
The intent and object of this move
ment must meet quite general approval,
SOMETHING should be done to relieve
the Legislature of Maryland from such
legislative record as it now holds, The
last volume of the Laws of Maryland
the volume containing the legislative
achievements of 1912-contains 1862
PAGES, much OF which is legislation of
purely local character, concerning
very unimportant matters to the State at
large.
But what system can be devised to
correct this condition? Give the county
a larger authority over local matters,
lot Of no hills
be enacted by the Legislature in order to
become laws, be committed to the deci-
sion of the County Commissioners This
is one of the plans suggested and one
to which we notice some considerable
objection has been raised by the States
newspapers, on the ground that it would
be uwise to so increase the authority of
County Commissioners. To that objection
let us make this rejoinder. Who now has
the authority over local legislation
| theoretically, of course, the Legislature;
practically, the legislative delegation
has grown up in the Legislature, OF COM
hitting to the delegation from given
| county every local measure concerning
| that county, the life or death of such
| measure is entirely in the hands of that
| delegation. 1t is really, in the last an
aysis, in the hands of the Senator from
| that county, as a little familiarity with
| the way things are done at Annapolis
easily demonstrates. Is 1t any more un-
| wise to put local matters under the au-
| thority and control of County Comm.s-
sioners than under the control of coun: y
representatives in the Legislature? We
are not arguing for Mr.. Maltb.e's plan /;
we are onl ypresentng rejoinier to the
| criticism of increasing the authority OF
| the County Commissioners. AS We un-
derstand it, Mr. Maltb.e ana the Ea.ti-
| more News are not welded to any final
program for the settlement of the ques-
| ton They are only endeavorlng to i'm
press upon the people of Maryland that
| it Is a question that NEEDS settlement,
and out of the thinking awakened by that
| impression they are hoping for some
| improvement on the present practice. A
| hope which we think, ought not to be
disappointed.
