A MIRACLE.

The day of miracles most rsmphati-
cally has not passed. So Tar as the
Richmond Evening Journal is con-
cerned 1t has Just begun. Over the
signature OF "a. r. w" in that publ
cation yesterday there appeared one
Of the most miraculous admissions on
record. It is nothing less than APP
prevail by "a. y. w" OF something the
Anti saloon League has done. Not
the Anti-Saloon League Of Virginia,
to be sure. but t'aat may come later
after the next session of the Virginia
State Legislature. perhaps.
The article in question deals with
municipal government problems in the
city OF Nashville, Tenn, and is in part
as follows;
| 'Tn a former article of this Sc
| ries II was suggested that i0creas-
| ed facilities for invoking the
| courts against q bad or incom-
| petent city government with CEN
tralized and concentrated powers
| would be better than the recall.
This is proved exactly true in
Nashville today. The recall
proved wortslle 1t was too
slow. The courts were called in
under an custer law the Anti-Sa-
loon League got through the last
Legislature to secure enforce
ment of prihIbition. Under this
any city official may be suspend
ed by a court OF competent 1uris-
diction on complaint Of a small
number of freeholders that he is
failing to perform his duties. or Is
guilty of wrong-doing The coun-
~ Judge here knocked to pieces
a bad city government to which
neglected. voters had entrusted
power. Then, today. the men
recommended by the Commercial
Club were elected by the surviv-
ing commissioners to replace
those who had been suspended.
These new men are among the
best, most capable and cleanest
and highest In the city-the kind
who should have been elected
at the beginning. two years ago,
and whose election would have
saved the taxpayers hundreds of
thousands OF dollars and prevent
ed the humiliation and damage
of the threat of a receiver for the
city and an undeserved advertise
ment of insolvency.
$50 Nashville, after all this
stress has the kind of board of
commissioners she should have
elected at first, and is looking for
ward now to making the sys-
tenn grand success and swear
ing never. never again to be
caught mapping"
This is. pretty high praise for the
despised Anti-Saloon League from
whatever source. but from the Rich
mond Evening Journal 1t is. as we re-
marked above, little short of miracu-
louS

est degree hampers tho Presidents eff
forts to pilot the nation safely and

restrained even the most rabid and
violent partisans from injecting do
mestic issues into the situation.
Never in recent years has the coun-
try been so deeply invofved for SO
long a time in international affairs.
This accounts for the unusual and
almost unprecedented inactivity In ma

favorable commentary upon the
ability of the American people in the

der the caption BE a Unionist, Body
and Soul" the Labor Call of this city
says:
"If you don't want to be trodden on,
join the union.
do you want to be well fed, well
housed, well clothed and well read?
Join the union! Do you want to help
your mates along? Join the union!
The monopohstic press and the mon
opolist may tell you that such de-
sires are vicious, but, instead, it is
need of things necessary and good that
makes men vicious. Where wages are
highest, there will be found the most
prosperous nation and the most con-
tented people. There will education
be the most generally diffused. There
will morality be the purest; there will
patriotism be the most profound. Help
to- make your country prosperous;
help to liberate mankind. Join the
union! Swear by the union! Work

I'm general, it is obvious that work

who have been treated by their en-
'ployers with fairness and respect will
