Is Prohibition Unconstitutional?

chester, N. Y, Union now comes to the front
with Z positive declaration that power to pre-
hbit the liquor traffic has been prohibited to the
States by the provisions of the Fourteenth
amendment to the federal constitution. The
Union declares that this is the logical outcome
of the recent decisions Of the New York Court of
Appeals in the oleomargarine case. 1t is also
worthy of note thata recent decision of the
highest State court OF Illinois is in accord with
this opinion. Our New York contemporary,
which, by the way, has the reputation of hand
