ANCIENT Law TO
BAR NEGRO VOTE
is KNOCKED OUT
Supreme Court Voids Okla.
homa Grandfather Clause
Others Affected.

Washington. d. C. June Ain q
decision so broad as probably 10 an
nul grandfather clause" enactments
81 every southern state which has
adopted such laws. the supreme court
today held Invalid Oklahoma and Mary
land legislation aimed AZ restricting
the negro vote. The decision was
unanimous.
The decision. In short. was that Il is
q violation OF the 18th amendment for
a state 20 select arbitrarily date. such
az 1856. and provide that persons not
qualified 90 vote on that date or whose
ancestors we're not so qualified are
barred from voting OF must submit
20 voting tests not required OF others.
The court further held that election
officials who sought 20 enforce such
clauses could be held amenabie 10
the law for denying persons a right 20
vote and that such officials could not
disregard the fact that the 18th amend
ment had stricken out OF the state law
the word white" as a qualification Of
voting.
The International Harvester COM
n1ny antitrust case was today restor-
ed 20 the docket for re-argument by
the supreme court. This postpones a
decision until fall. az least. The court
acted Unexpectedly and on its own In
itiative in ordering re-argument OF the
Harvester case. II had been asked by
neither the government nor the com
pany. Re-arguments generally are
ordered when the court stands very
close on a decision.
The court rcconsidered its denial of
review OF the conviction OF 2. Drew
Caminett OF san Francisco. Cal. on
charges OF violating the white slave
law. and granted a review. It also
granted a review OF the conviction Of
Maury I. Driggs, convicted with Can't
netti. In the same cases.
Washington. d. C.. June 2l.-The su-
preme court today reversed the fed
eral district court in New Jersey which
dismissed the governments Sherm-n
law and commodities clause suit
against the Delaware. Lackawanna &
Western railroad and the Delaware.
Lackawanna & Western Coal company.
The government charged that the
contract by which the railroad sold to
the coal company its coal was not a
bona fde transaction and violated
both the antitrust law and the COM
modities clause of the Hepburn rate
law. II Is the second suit of the gov
eminent against the railroad under
the commodities clause. The case. by
unanimous decision of the supreme
court, was sent hack TO the lower
court FOR further proceedings.
The government today lost its suit in
the supreme court 20 forfeit the IN
sold portion % the Oregon and Cali

TO some 2.3O0. 600 acres and valued a.
more than SS0.00O.OOO The railroad

SHANAHAN FINDS
ERRORS IN BILLS
slight Inaccuracies Discovered nv
Speaker In Examining Measures
Passed by Assembly,.

Springfield. H.. June 2l-The first
serious error in the handling OF legis-
lltiye measures was uncarthed this
morning by Speaker David Z. shan
ahan. He found that Representative
Lyie's bill III. 3. 49, designed TO
provide separate ballots for candidates
for all courts record in Chicago in the
form in which d. was passed applies
judges
The mistake resulted from the drop
ping OF the word county" from the
cuErossed copy Of the bill The elm
nation % this word removes applica-
ton OF the measure from candidates
Tor county and probate judgeships.
Since circuit and superior court
judges are elected in a separate cleo
ton. the bill did not affect them in
any way.
Another error was discovered in
Representative Turnbaugh's bill ex-
tending the life OF the state mining in
vcstiEation commission, a measure
agreed 10 between the operators and
miners OF the state. The body OF the
bill. in addition 10 creating the COM
mission, carries an appropriation OF
$1,000, OF which no mention is made in
the title. Under holdings Of the SUI
preme court, all OF the bill may be
approved by the governor and become
effective except that portion not men
toned in the title. which is void.
\ number Of minor clerical errors
have been disclosed in various other
bills. hut none that IS likely 10 have
any affect upon the provisions OF the
bills
Speaker Shsnahan spent the entire
morning examining bills and signing
them and expects 10 have all house bills
signed by night. Lieutenant Governor
o'Hara is expected 70 return tomor-
row from Chicago and proceed with
the signing OF the senate bills
Governor Dunno received IL bills
from the lieutenant governor and
speaker this morning and will take up
their consideration later in the day.

The Catholic bulletin. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1911-1995, 1915-06-19
A BUREAU OF MIs-INFoRMA.
TION.

We have received several issues
of a Mexican Letter. sent out
by 1.-The Mexican Bureau of In
formation" of New York; and if
their contents be Indicative of the
kind of information to be made
public in future letters, they will
receive scant courtesy not only
from the Catholic press, but from
all publications having any knowl-
edge of recent events in Mexico.
1t is evident that these letters
are issued on behalf of the party
headed by Carranza. One of them
prints the decree issued by him
to dissolve the matrimonial bond,
which the letter characterizes as
another important reform of
moralizing tendency whatever
that means.
The anti-Catholic animus of
these letters is shown in their ref
erence to what they call the i'm
ported clergy" who have always
worked in favor of reaction and
against freedom. " This group in
cludes the Mexican Hierarchy and
the leading priests Of the country.

DOMAIN OF TEMPERANCE.
AN ALCOHOLIC ENIGMA.


1t is the testimony of the internal
revenue receipts of our own govern
ment that, Notwithstanding the note
worthy extension of the dry areas by
reason of state wide prohibition and
local option laws, consumption of al
coholic liquor has greatly increased.
In addition to the dry areas estab-
lished by political action 1--WE use the
term in its broad sense) there has
been wide promotion of personal abb
stinence because of rules against
drinking established by large employ
ers of labor, who realize the wisdom
of guarding the safety of employees
and the public against accident, as
well as promoting general efficiency.
We know that in addition to these
powerful influences there has grown
up social opposition to Incorporate
habits that has wholesome effect
against over-indulgence in intoxicating
liquors and in favor of total absti-
hence. In any circle, of acquaintance
the persistent drinkers-the men who
make business of lido not ap-
pear to be numerous.
The question naturally arises in con-
sequence: Where does all the liquor
go, and who uses it? Increase of
population in the wet areas does not
account for all of it.
