Chief Justice fancy said:
I" II any State deems the retail and internal
traffic in ardent spirits injurious to its citizens
and calculated to produce idleness, vice, and
debauchery, sec nothing in the Constitution
of the United States to prevent it from regula-
ting and restraining the traffic, or from prohib
ting II altogether, if it thinks proper"
EVERY State, therefore, may regulate it,
own internal traffic according to its own judg
ment, and upon its own views of the interest
and well being of its citizens Is How, 573
Mr.. Justice Mclean said:
"lf the foreign article be injurious to the
health OF morals of the community, State

hensive police power which lies at the tounda
ton of its prosperity prohibit The sale Of IT. u

sons, throughout the country. Several Of these
letters have been sent to me by the gentlemen

commercial letters, and have put the per-
sons to whom they were addressed to consider
able trouble, while others contain statements
and propositions SO absurd that intelligent per-
sons will not suppose them to be genuine The
object Of this public exposure of these forgeries
is 70 guard against the possibility Of deception,

continuance of his labors From illusions

ELECTION RETURNS.
VERMONT


The Wings are beaten in this old stronghold.
The returns are incomplete, but enough 10
known to show that the Independent Democ-
racy will hold the balance of power in the
Legislature, and in the election of U. States
Senator will be enabled to- dictate the man. A
slip from the Office of the Woodstock Age, DEM,
says:
ave have received returns from $50 towns
all but 10 in the State-which are reported to
have elected SO Wings, and 1913 Democrats
and Free. Sellers. The number of the latter
we cannot at this time determine, but our pres
emit returns indicate not far from 30. The ten
towns to hear from will not materially alter
the complexion. The Senate is yet in doubt
but probably Wing by one or two majority"
As there is no choice Of State officers, it vii
devolve upon the Legislature to elect these Off
GERS as we'll as United States Senator. The
Constitution of Vermont requires these elec-
tons to be made by joint ballot. AS the SEN
ate is Wing it may delay action, by refusing
to 90 into an election. Let us hope however,
that patriotism will triumph over party con-
siderations.
