NATIONAL NEWS NOTES.
Brief Bits Of News and Comment
On Men and Measures.
The Destruction Of Autocracy.

Washington, d. C.-ln these days
while the world rocks and reels, domes-
fie controversies here at the National
Capitol are being subordinated, and ma
tional emergency and need are to the
front as paramount questions of the
hour. Every arm of the government is
alive with enthusiasm to strengthen
rather than to hinder, and citizens of
every kind, color, and degree are sup
porting the government Loyalty and
earnestly
The Negro and the part he shall play
in the war is a subject of earnest dis
cussion. His rights and wrongs, his
handicaps and injustices are, along
with other controversies, being subor-
dinated to his duties and responsible
ties in this hour of national crisis. His
spokesmen at the National Capitol
however feel that it is not amiss once
AGAIN to call attention to the fact that
this government is founded upon the
theory of majority rule, theory to
which the American people have al
ways and always will subscribe. But
the principle of majority rule does not
and never has included the power OF
the majority to override or ignore the
personal and inherent rights of the
minority. Such assumption of power
is detrimental to good government and
leads to a tyranny as repulsive as au-
tocratic despotism. Repulsive as is the
offence, it becomes duly offensive when
minority attempts to or succeeds IN
abridging or denying the personal free
dom of the majority. Such state OF
affairs is old world autocracy and re-
pudiates the great American principle
of judicious majority rule. Yet the
agitation in the hall of Congress for
the repression of Personal Freedom
threatens to establish a precedent in
that form of government.
Figures from the last national cleo
ton cast light upon some startling
facts. They reveal the amazing truth
that in the so-called Prohibition states,
that is, the Southern States, only $4,000
votes are necessary to elect Congress
man, while $4,000 votes are required
for a similar representation from the
Northern, Western, or so-called "wet"
states. Thus a representative from a
licensed state, speaking for constitu,
ence of $4,000 voters has his vote offset
by a Prohibitionist representing only
IS, 0OOl
This inequality of representation
paves the way for minority rule and
raises the question whether or not the
vote of one man is not as good as that
of another.
The comparison between some OF
"Dry" Mississippi has a national rep
resentative for every 1900 voters
"wet" Ohio only one for every So,
600; "dry" South Carolina one for ev
ery 10000 voters; and "wet" Illinois
has only one representative for every
5000 voters.
Every such measure passed by Con
gress means another pace forward fol
minority rule and intolerance!

Tuesday evening the new Dreamland
buffet and cabaret at 1920 5. State
street, which was until lately known
as Dreamland Hall, threw its doors
open to the public and autos blocked
the streets for two blocks each side OF
il. and more than six hundred people
attempted to rush into it at the same
time.
At ten O'Clock the doors had to be
locked until all those on the inside
could be served and turned out in or
der to make room for hundreds of other
patrons. Its owner, Mr.. William Bot
tom, was all smiles all the time while
he was mingling with his many friends
and guests and assisting to look after
their wants and comforts.
Five hundred patrons can be COM
fortably seated at the tables at one
time. All the furnishings and fixtures
in the new Dreamland are the best and
the most expensive that money can
buy. An orchestra on an elevated
stage or platform discourses fine music
throughout the afternoon and evenings.
The natural light in all parts of the
cabaret is perfect; it is large, airy and
well ventilated.
Everything seems to indicate that
the new Dreamland, under the manage
men of mine host Bottom, will be a
great drawing card for some time to
come on the State street stroll.
