A JUDGE REPEALS A LAW The New York Times, usually well-in- formed, talks about an “extraordinary sit- uation” that has developed in New York’ where the State has been prohibited from | enforcing its own “penal laws against | gambling at dog tracks.” What has happened to the great com monwealth? Well, it seems that the track | operators have gotten a Federal Court) judge to issue an injunction, restraining | the police from interfering with the dog! ; tracks and the dog racing season is in ‘full SUBSCRIPTION RATES One Year : Pte 5 Six Months ...

This sample of judicial with State penal laws happens to catch the attention of the great newspaper which apparently does not know that the same interference tactics were resorted to in other States to | protect operators of various slot machines that were rank gambling devices, out- lawed by penal statutes, In fact it is something of a farce when citizens, operating dubious enter- prises, can come into any court and_tie- up governmental machinery on the basis of affidavits that their constitutional rights ‘are affected and they are threatened with drreparable injury. However, this has hap- pened to the Federal government, which ‘has been restrained from collecting taxes and also from carrying policies laid down by Congress because somebody asserted that constitutional rights were involved, etc. We think a general study of the granting of injunctions throughout the United States will disclose to The Times that it is not “highly unusual” for the Fed- eral courts to assume jurisdiction or to grant injunctions that virtually act as “a repeal” of State laws. EXERCISE OVERDONE Improper exercising is a very com- mon cause of impaired health during the hot weather months, according to Dr. Rob- ert A. Fraser, chief medical director of a leading life insurance company, who re- cently said: “The best time to stop exercising is before you have had enough. Leave the golf course, tennis court or swimming pool with the feeling that you would like to stay longer, and you.can be sure that you have not overdone. This rule applies to all forms of recreation or exercise, and should be followed by people who are on their vacation as well as those who are taking their exercise after working hours.” The important thing to avoid, in the} doctor’s opinion, is the tendency to turn the play period into an endurance contest. The grim-faced individual intent on anoth- er eighteen holes of golf; the perspiration soaked, half exhausted tennis player de- termined to finish an extra set; perform- ances like these destroy the very purpose of exercise, which is to build and tone the | muscles and which cannot be accomplished | by over-doing. “Those who go on vacation,”’ Dr. Fra- ser stated, “should shift gradually from a sedentary routine to one of active exer- | The heart and muscles are not pre- | cise. pared for the sudden strain of from a quiet, inactive existence stepping 1s sets of tennis.

It wa. utterly ridiculous however, that any legislation on such an im- portant subject shousée have becn enacted with no more consideration than was giver to this measure.

Mr. Roosevelt woul have earned the sincere gratitude of all his countrymen, if he had advised \ Congress to drop everything and go home. But this advice was not given. Re- | forming and saving the country are so very pleasant, for the reformer, that he never tires, never runs out of new ideas, never loses sight oi the disasters and misfortunes that are ready to fall on the unfortunate vic- tims of his benevolence should his vigilance slacken, even for a moment.

This continuous fortissimo emphasis gets rather wearing, in time. It has, in fact, worn us all out, whether we realize it or not. We do not respond now as we once did when we receive solemn assurance that some other dreadful calamity is at hand, to be averted only by passing another law.

The annex in producing a ready-made crisis, cut to fit the specifications of some particular reforn plank in the pro- gram. It woula be a welcome change if some one in authority were to admit that we are doing reasonably well and that we car afford to relax for a time and take it easy. There has been so much “blood and thunder” in our recent political and labor and other tuctions that we need to get away from it all and have a cood laugh, Just now it is difficult to imagine a more appealing campaign slogar than “Take it easy.” The professional reformers who take themselves so seriously do not seem to realize that the human ma- chine cannot long function at high pressure without an explosion. [t is this perpetu.. high pressure, whether in business or in saving someone from something, that runs blood pressures up and snaps arterial walls. As man is made, he must relax occasionally, not only physically but spiritually and emotionally. The .ellow who gets the notion that all will go to pot if he stops is usually among the first to be in that state in which he is quite indifferent to the nice things being said about him. we shall all live longer, have more fun, accomplish just as much, and escape as crises, if we learn to stop now and then and take it eas), than will be the case if we continue this high pressure, professionalized, political “rescue mission” policy. uthor care of this newspaper) Today’s Anniversaries 1795—James Gordon Bennett, famed publisher of tha New York Herald, started in a Wall cellar on a capital of $500, bern in Scotland.

The city’s new automatic stree sprinkler and street parse which was bought recently pend- ing a tryout of the machine was accepted last night by the Board of Public Works. The price was $6,846.80. The company’s demon- stration mechanic, Walter John- son, who has been running the machine and instructing a city employe in its use is leaving this afternoon for Tampa en route to Bradenton. Hastings Piodela and Robert Lewis have been instructed to use the machine and Mr. John- son says they are both capable of operating the sprinkler-sweeper, and care for the equipment under any and all conditions. It is not | known which of the two men will be selected as the operator. The Board of Public Works will to- night ask the city council to pass an ordinance regulating the park- ing of cars on the streets after 2 a. m., in order that all cars may be off the street at that hour and enable the machine to be operated without being impeded. Caroline and Division streets are to be put in a state of perfect repair within a short time, was the statement made today by Harold Pinder, clerk to the Board of Public Works.
