COURT UPhOLDS
 NEW LIQUOR ACT
LAW IS CONSTITUTIONAL
LIQUOR CASE MUST NOW BE TRIED ON ITS
 OWN MERITS.
Special to the Log Cabin Democrat.


 Little Rock, April 6.-The supreme court today sustained the constitu- tionality of the Going liquor bill, re- versing and remanding the decision of the Pulaski circuit court.
 The Argenta liquor petition, which was appealed from the county court, must now be tried on it's merits, as the court declared liquor laws are not among immunities from the four teenth amendment to the federal con- stitution. Also, the court declared that petitions are not the same as elections, citing federal decisions which uphold the three-mile liquor pe- titions in which women are permitted to participate, while they are not per mitted to vote in elections. The court said that if this can be permitted, ne- groes, too, can be barred from sign ing liquor petitions

OId.Stvle Baseball Contracts Void.

Organized baseball iubilated too soon over the
decision bv minor Illinois court in the case Vi
"Chief" johnson, a former pitcher Of the Clncin-
natl Reds. The Judge having original jurisdiction
hold that Johnson's contract-ten-day discharge
clause and all-was binding. The Appellate Court
in Illinois has now ruled that the oldStyle, one
sided ten-days' notice clause is null ana Void De
cause Of inequality of contract conditions. IT the
Climb NAV give ten days notice and terminate the
contract the player should also enjoy the same
privilege is the gist of the decision.
This conclusion is in line with what every fed
eral Judge has said who has passed on the release
clause of the old contracts. 1t begins to look
therefore, as if the organized clubs must make over
all their contracts outstanding before this season
and give the players exactly the same latitude IN
seeking release as the owners alone have hereto
fore exercised That is a reasonable view OF the
mutual obligations of such agreements.
If was not q view conducive to the discipline
which organized baseball sought TO enforce The
mower of the owners will he greatly narrowed II
this view prevails. and the liberty of the players
will be greatly enlarged. The game will have to
adjust itself to these new conditions, and 1t may
suffer in doing so. 1t cannot prosper if the two
elements most dependent upon ii for returns-the
owners and the payers-contnue TO treat each
other as enemies Delicate handling is needed

demoralized bargain-cOunter baseball.

A BELIEVER IN HOME RULE
Thinks Differences Between North and
South in Ireland Will Be Composed.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The letter by W. &. Kelly in
The Tribune Of July II contains the
statement the King can dissolve Par
lament at any time. and that would
end Home Rule forever" etc.
Mr.. Kelly is very much mistaken in
taking 50 much for granted. lived
for number of years in the British
naval service on the coast Of Ireland,
and as a result of observation and OK
pericncc ! am a firm believer in Home
Rule, and | am more than Convinced
that ;he vast majority Of the people of
Ireland desire the passage of the bill
and Will never rest until il is an estab-
llShed fact. no matter what action the
King or the misguided Obstetrics may
take.
The landed gentry and aristocratic
parasites arc opposed TO Home Rule
because they fully realize that II means
the beginning of the end Of their high
handed system OF robbery that has
bllghted ireland for so many years.
Home Rule is coming, and 1t means
a step toward a greater democracy and
freedom. and therefore greater re.
sponsibIlity on the shoulders Of every
n an and woman in Ireland. am opti-
mistic enough 10 believe that within a
few years, when Home Rule has been

COMMISSIONER BELL PRAISED
His Restriction Of News-Stands to the
Manned the Cause.

TO the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The thanks OF the community
are due Commissioner Bell for his e.
forts TO limit the news-stands to the
lame. the halt and the blind and those
others whose needy circumstances II
unrelieyed would make OF them charges
upon charity. Until comparatively
few years hack only such men and
women were to be seen thus earning IA
livelihood, and had an able-bodied man
sought thus to escape from real work
he would have exposed himself to the
contempt Of all bchoiders.
The Commissioner will doubtless find
opposed to him in this worthy reform q
tremendous influence, eXerted through
political and other channels; while
those genuinely needy persons whom
he would help will not be able to
render any aid whatsoever. All the
more reason that the community
should applaud and sustain him.

A Potential FrankenStein.

Those who have been watching cOmplacentIy
the drift toward federal ownership Of railroads
should find the remarks of Mr.. Underwood, presi-
dent Of the Erie. bit disturbing. There are
1sO05oO railway employees in the United states,
said he Government ownership will sOlidify this
bodv and make it unit that can demand and get
anything it wants
In the postal service the government employs
something like 10000 men and women. Those
who would point TO the docty of this group in
rcfufation of Mr. ,uderwoods idea are therefore
assuming similar attitude on the part OF two
labor units. one ten times large rs the other.
In addition railway employees occupy much more
strategic position in the complex organization Of
modern industrial society. We can AT a pinch get
along without the mails but We must eat and in
winter We have 10 keep warm For these two
basic neccssaries Of life, food and heat, good
many millions OF us are absolutely dependent OF
the railroads
or course many will Goubt whether this in
dustria unit ~ nearly 2ipOOOo men would solid
ify under government Ownership to the extent that
President Underwood implies. But its failure to
do 10 would be the only rayNof hope in the situa-
ton for the rest Of u.s. Rather than nirt with this
potential monster would IL not be far wiser
for the federal government so to use its rate
making and other regulatory powers a. to render
