OUR LOCAL OBSERVER


Whatever our personal views may
BE on the question, all fair-minded
people and lovers Of democracy can
not but endorse the recent action of
the New York legislature in submit
ting the ratification Of national pro-
hibition to a vote Of the people. This
Is not d country Of minotity rule, by
snap judgment or any other mode,l
and no matter what final results are
to be obtained, no patriotic man win
attempt Or approve such Kaiser meth
DDS. If the American citizen can
not be trusted with his vote, then let
the boys come home andiwe win call
our boastsd liberty a failure. Ten
nessee's constitution prohibits the
ratification Of an amendment to the
Federal consultation by any Iegisla-
ture elected prior to the submission
of any amendment by Congress, thus
making it possible for the voters to
have voice IN the matter. The old
time Tennessee constitution builders
were not only true Americans, but
were lopg-headed fellows who were
not afraid to put their case "before
thejdry," as the lamented Bob Tay-
ior used to say.
