ANOTHER PERFLEXING QUESTION
Dakotans Claim the "OriginaI Package
n,aS Not Effaof Than

CHAMBERLAIN, July l9.--Judge Haney,
of this district, sustained his temporary
iniun ction in closing the original package
houses of this city The grounds given for
the decision are that the enabling act adj
hitting South Dakota to the statehood,
authorized the enactment of the prohibi-
ton clause in the state constitution.
Such an enabling act having been passed
by congress subsequent to the passage OF
the interstate commerce law, therefore
the prohibition law received the sanction
of congress and the supreme court decis-
ion does not, therefore, apply to
question which will be carried up and
which, if sustained, will be of great i'm
portance to all of the new states which have
adopted prohibition.
