Judge Denies Injunction.

ST. Louis, Mo. Sept. 24.-Judge
Hennings of the Circuit Court re-
fused to grant an injunction to the
restaurant employers of St. Louis
IN their effort to stop picketing of
walters and mattresses, where Lo-
cal Unions Nos. 20 and 249 were
conducting strike for the union
shop. This decision of Judge
Hennings has been helpful 10 the
interests of the mattresses. Many
restaurants have since been union
izsd, shorter hours have been ir
creased fer restaurant employees.

worth his while to do his daily work
where Hnclean things. mental and phys

It makes a good deal of difference In

art institute or the burlesque show.
An ancient teacher OF well balanced
mind gave this direction to his disci-
Piles as to the topics to be selected for
deliberate thought:
Finally, my brethren, whatsoever
things are true, whatsoever things are
honorable, whatsoever things are Just,
whatsoever things are pure, whatso-
ever things are lovely, whatsoever
things are of good report, If there be
any virtue and If there be any praise,
think on these things"
To think on these things one must
see and hear these things. To see and
hear these things one must make an

TO work up a public sentiment that
will enforce 1t by and by / confess
that this seems to me a curious pro-
ceeding. 1t Is proposed to enact law
which is sure to be. trampled under
foot by good half of the population,
and then, after enacting it, and while
1t is being Knocked at and dishonored,
to proceed to create the public senti-
ment which shall make it effective!
The child Alice, In Mr.. Carroll's fairy
tale, found something like this in Look
ing-glass Land. but / never heard be-
fore of applying such principles to
problems of statesmanship
What Taft Says.
In the delivery of his forceful opin-
ion the Hon. VIM. H. Taft comes
square out from the shoulder Ia these
unmistakable terms: Nothing is more
foolish, nothing more utterly at vari-
ance with sound policy, than to enact
a law which, by reason of conditions
surrounding the community, is in
capable of enforcement Such in
stances are sometimes presented by
sumptuary laws, by which the sale of
intoxicating liquors is prohibited under
penalties in localities where the public
sentiment of the immediate community
does not and will not sustain the en-
forcement OF the law"
Warren G.. Harding Is equally as
strong in a statement In which he
holds that "The question will never be
finally solved until human nature is
changed, except through compro-
misses which will restore the ques-
tion to It's status of one of morals
and individual conviction. We believe
this can best be attained by maintain
ing the statutes giving us local option
on the question OF prohibition, and a
model license law as a regulatory
measure. Thus there will be prohibit
ton where the people so elect, and
effective regulation and limitation
where the saloon exists"
Prof. Hatton's View.
After giving the question his most
serious consideration and thought
from eyory angle, Prof Hatton says:
Judging from experience it
seems fairly clear that state
wide prohibition is very likely to
break down when applied to cities in
which there is not vigorous public
sentiment favorable to the law. In
the absence OF such public sentiment
the law is usually more or less openly
violated with the attendant result of
encouraging lack of regard for law in
general"
DR.. Reed, likewise says, after
most careful study of the liquor prob
lem and the various plans that have
been tried out for a settling of the
problem: a careful study OF the

LIQUOR QUESTION

whole prohibition movement from
the days of Neal Dow to the pres
ent-its long succession Of failures, its
stimulation Of law-breaking. illicit de-
bauchery, cocainism and the manufac-
ture and sale OF the worst sort of alco-
holic liquors, such as moonshine Whis-
KY, causes me to view with intense
concern renewed attempts at extend
ing this pernicious doctrine"
But Judge Rufus B. Smith goes fur
ther and strikes right at the heart of
the thing-goes into the law and fact
in this fashion: EFF the use of intox-
icating liquors Is immoral, why prohibit
merely its manufacture and sale? The
purchase and consumption of liquor
should also be made a crime, and every
man who drinks should be punished
The Prohibitionist should not hesitate
to go where his logic takes him.
The contention that because few
men abuse the use of liquor all shall
be forbidden It's use, is equally unten-
able. Because my neighbor misbe-
hayes is no reason why l should be
locked up in the penitentiary with
him. There are more men who eat
themselves to death than who drink
themselves to death, but that is no
reason | should not be permitted to
eat what want"
The people OF Ohio are giving the
question more consideration, more de-
liberate, thoughtful consideration than
at any time.
VIII Settle Question.
They realize that 1t ought to be set
tied at once and for all, in some way
They are unanimous in their opin-
ion that the time for agitation and mis-
representation has passed
No longer can their minds be in
famed by platform orators. They
want it settled this time They
thought they had settled 1t year ago
by decisive majority.
And they did, with the best plan
ever adopted for the handling of the
liquor problem.
They are getting tired of this con-
tinual petitioning of voters and the
forcing of them to the polls to vote
again, year in and year out, on ques-
tion they had voted to settle, and did
settle.
The people want constructive pol
icy now, rather than a destructive
policy, in this State, and there is
every indication from every source
from every section-that they are go
ing to settle the matter this time by
an overwhelming majority, and that 1t
will be settled in favor OF the existing
Home Rule plan, which leaves the mat
ter entirely in the hands of the peo-
pie themselves. In their own respec-
tive communities.
This Home Rule plan has worked SO
successfully, SO satisfactorily, say the
people in every section, even though II
has been in operation less than year,
that the people have already come tc
appreciate that this local seIfgovern
ment or Home Rule way Is the onl
practical, sensible, feasible way T.
solve the liquor problem. (Adxl

This is the absorbing question in the
minds of the professional paid agita-
tors who want to change from Home
Rule to Statewide prohibition.
They are very much perturbed, al
most frantic. over the incontrovertible
opinions expressed so forcibly by such
eminent authorities and distinguished
Ohio citizens as Hon. VIM. Howard
Taft, DR.. Washington GLADDEN., noted
pulpit orator and philosopher of Co
lumbus; Prof A. r. Hatton, of West

most prominent of Ohio's attorneys,
and Ralph Reed, M D., of Cincinnati

that the liquor question should be set

more democratic and closer-to-the peo-
