Yes; and it dds not matter under
these laws whether the liquors are
made for home use or for sale
Their manufacture is forbidden.
We hold that A,ch laws are un-
constitutional AM tyrannical. The
Monthly, howevy r, is too sweeping
when it classes a the lawyers as be-
lieving the contrAry. A great many
lawyers, indeed Y majority Of them,
we think, do not approve the tendency
of the courts to follow a popular craze
Political opinions are q bane to the
dignity and strength of the bench. Ii
this county we remember the supreme
courts righteous and proper decision
on the township aid act in the Harsh
man case, and then its reversal of it
self upon the question, too ell to be
lieve in the ~inialli6ility of that tribunal
Though there is not a line or all ide'
in the constitution to maintain thu
right of congress to lay a tariff tax TO
protection, if that question were to g
up to the supreme court as it is nov
constituted no one doubts that the re
publican majority in the court woul'
sustain the erroneous principle of it
party.
No one wants to urge others Il

American way. This is a land OF law
The law must be sustained while it j
the law. But it is the duty Of journal
lists, publicists and %jurists to continu
to declare the truth in order that a
last it shall prevail.
