ABSENTEE VOTING

cent months enacted laws providing

elector is necessarily absent from

vote. The laws very in details. Inn
their general purpose is the same.
And while states are thus taking
care not to disfranchise their voters
by inadvertance. voters themselves I'm
practically all states show less and
less interest In elections. Here one
observes oddly contrary tendencies
So far have electors neglected their
duties In this respect that the adyis-
ability OF establishing compulsory
voting is seriously considered In
many states. If voters have not SUI
hcient interest to go to the polls
voluntarily, It is suggested that they
be forced by law to go.
In face of circumstances so well
known. 1t would scarcely seem there
could be a wide demand that states
should enact laws specially providing
for absentee voting II might be "a
more popular reform II steps were
taken TO insure less frequent cleo
tons. IN order that voters who are
not absentees might be more willing

Kenyon Red Light Law
Subject of Argument
Before Justice Mccoy

WASHINGTON. Dec. 16.--Justice
Mccoy, of the Supreme Court of the
District of Columbia, heard argu-
merits of counsel yesterday for and
against the constitutionality of the
Kenyon red light" law. The ques-
ton Is raised in the proceedings
brought against the Ardmore Hotel.
The Justice took the matter under
consideration and will announce his
decision later.
United States Attorney Laskey and
Assistant United States Attorney
Laws on behalf of the government
In support of the constitutionaltty of
the law offered four reasons why its
validity should be upheld.
They commended that Congress, I'M
der the police power, has the right
to declare property used for i'm
| moral purposes to be nuisance,
and. as such, may provide that such
nuisance be abated by q court of
equity.
| The lack of knowledge on the part
| of the owner that his property was
| being used in violation of law, said
the prosecutors. is no defense to the
| taking of the property. Several
| cases. one in the United StatesSSu
|. preme Court, and others from State
| courts were mentioned to sustain
| this position.
They urged that Congress had
| mower to impose the tax of $500
| against the owner and against the
1 occupant of the premises as a deter
rent against engaging In the bust
! ness
/ inRs under this act, being had in a
! court of equity. are not criminal in
| their nature, and that, therefore. the
| constitutional provisions as 70 excess
| siye fines and penalties, bills of at
tainder and jury trials are not vio-
/ lated.
| Answering the objection that the
act of Congress provides for taking
] Of private property for public uses
| without compensation, the prosecu-
/ tors argued that the power of pro-
/ hibitfng such use bv individuals of
| their property as will be prejudiciaI
| to public morals is not, and consist
| emily with the existence and safety
| OF organized society. cannot be bur-
| dened with the condition that the
| government must compensate such
individual owners for pecuniary
losses they may sustain, by reason
| of not being permitted, by noxious
use OF their property. to infiict in
Jury upon the community.
Attorneys Hoehling, Peeile and
Osilby for the Willard estate. own
ers OF the property. and ATTORNEYS
John Ridout and N s. Bowles for
the proprietor Of the hotel, contend
ed that the constitutional rights of
both owner and tenant are invaded
by the drastic provisions of the Ken
yon law.
A motion by Attorney Ridout Ia
dismiss the proceeding at the conciu-
sion Of the testimony for the gov
eminent was denied by Justice Nc
Coy.

CAMP TELLS WHY
cleft OUT YALE
Illness of Talbot Kept Captain
of Blue Eleven Off ALI
American.

Walter Camp has written an ex-
PLANTATION of why he put no Yale
player on his All-American football
team for 1914 He says: "Talbot's
misfortune that sent him to the in
Urinary with an injured bone in his
leg and kept him there two weeks
put him out of the running.
"Brann, too, had been on the in
valid list all through three-quarters
of the season. No one was the equal
of LeGore at the execution of the
forward pass, and / have never seen
a man who could throw such a fast
or accurate ball and yet such an
easy one to handle. Nor was LeGore
behind Mahan or Green in running
back kicks or in his own running
from position. But Mahan's runs
from short kick formation were the
strongest of the season, his punting
exceptional for accurate placing and
his drop-kicking effective.
"Ghee and Barrett were both more
natural quarters than Wilson"
