Leading members of the Indianapolis local union of the commercial telegraphers are apparently of the opinion that there is not much -probability of a strike In this Discussing the city that, according to press reports, la to be called out. they express the opinion that Chicago will be the ctty, but say they have no information to base audi an opinion on. save the Importance of the "breezy town" from the telegraph companies' standpoint.

In regard to the local altuaiion. they aay that If a number of cities are called out It Is probable that Indianapolis will be among those toward the last to be ordered out. The situation would be changed, however. If Chicago were called out and the telegraph companies would send Chicago business to this city by mail to be forwarded from Indianapolis by wire, t'nder suca a condition, it ts said, the Indianapolis operators woold probably be called out.

Thirty years ago, within my personal knowledge, he proclaimed in his writings and speeches, the "public nuisance" doctrine exactly aa Judge Christian decided In the Sopher case. can concede the gift of prophecy to The Newa when It declares that thla decision nda the theory." The Dred Scott decision, although atrictly In Una wtth the le tali tlve and judicial precedents ot the ages, did not settle the question of the property rights of one man in the flesh and blood of another and It Is worthy of note that 8tats Ku-preme Courts that1 proclaimed the Drod Scott doctrine tiaatened later to reverse themselves by deciding that there never had been a time when a human belne; could aet foot within their Jurisdiction and not be a freeman. No! Thla decision has placed a companion picture alongside that of Roger U.

Judge Christian decided that the Inimical character of the aaloon busineaa ia one of those obvious facts of" which courts are required, to take notice; that the aaloon la ao distinctly and universally againat public aafety aa to constitute It. In fact, a public nuisance; that any statute so violative of the very purposes of government as a saloon license law ts beyond the power of a Legislature whose only legal action toward a public nuisance la one of abatement. "No Legislature can legally barter away the public health and public morals; the people themselves can not do It.

It refuses to discuss the character of the business, ths key issue or the Christian decision, and as both facta and law the court abdicates in favor of the Legialature. to which it asciibea unquestioned on this question. The decision is the most striking example of circular logto I have ever seen. "The aaloon la not a public nuisance" because lawful: It Is lawful because the Legislature says so; the Lg-taiature haa a constitutional right ao to declare because the saloon is not a public nuisance."

The aaloon of to-day, which was contemplated In the Christian decision, Is an evolution from the English "alehouse" and colonial "tavern" of those other days, places of more or less tnnooent conviviality, but the courts refuse to recognise the change In the character of the business, and persist In applying the same old threadbare precedents.
