As bearing upon the practical effect of south

point Three systems Of dcllin.s with In" liquor

that the dispcnsary plan is marked improve

COMPARED with local prohibition there is more

Law for Any Side.

1t is not q difficult matter, apparently. to
find law for either eide of almost any case,
and if the question at issue is political one
the judges are very apt TO decide IN accord
ance with their political bias. That this is
true is pretty clearly shown in the decision
rendered at Topeka Saturday by the
supreme court OF Kansas, in the case IN
which the question as TO which was the
legal House Of Representatives was pre-
sented
! When the legislature met dispute arose
as TO whether the republicans or the popu-
lists were in the majority in the House. An
| agreement could not be reached, and 80 the
republicans organized House and the popu-
| lists also organized House.
The governor, who is populist, and the
Senate, which is controlled by the populists,
recognized the populist House. Their
action, however, did not settle the matter.
Each House went ahead passing bills as if
it were the legal House. Naturally there
was good deal of friction and bad blood
between the two Houses
So far was the hostility between the two
houses carried that at one time there was
danger OF a collision between them. The
governor called on his militia to eject the
republicans from the state capital and the
republican speaker called on the sheriff of
the county to protect the republican House.
The sheriff summoned 200 men to act as
deputies. and placed arms in their hands.
IL the militia had not refused to obey the
governors orders, and il the governor had
not finally backed down, there would have
been bloody work at Topeka.
The republicans finally got a case before
the supreme court, in which the issue be-
tween the republican and populist houses
was presented. The court is composed OF
two republicans and one populist. The re-
publican judges held that the republican
House was the legal one and the populist
judge held that il was not. 1t Ia safe to as
sumo that II two Of the judges had been
populists the decision would have been in
favor of the populists, aud the dissenting
opinion would have been In favor of the re-
publican House.
1t may lie that the decision In favor OF
the republican House is sound one, bat if
two of the judges had been populists and
they had decided in favor OF the populist
House, as they would have done in all
probability, their decision would have stood
as good law.
1t would not be difficult matter TO find
other decisions in political cases which
leave the impression that the judges who
rendered them were influenced by their
politics. 1t is an exceptional judge who
can render a decision against the party TO
which he belongs
The populists have decided to obey the
supreme court decision and they have de-
clded wisely. Further effort to sustain
their position would have been productive
of no good. On the contrary, 1t would have
done great deal of harm.

Carolina's New Liquor Law

There is a great deal Of growing in South
Carolina at the new liquor law, known as
the dispensary system, that is soon to 20
into effect in that state. The impression
| seems to be that taxes will have to be
greatly increased to make up what will be
lost to the revenue of the counties and
towns by the cutting off of the liquor licenses.
In many Of the counties a very large part
of the revenue comes from liquor licenses.
1 Even those who are pronounced prohibit
tionists don't like the idea Of having to pay
a higher rate ofAtaxation, or of having the
assessment OF their property increased.
There is talk that the schools will have 60
be closed for the greater part of
the year unless the Legislature finds some
way for increasing the amount of the school
fund. A reduction in the time the schools
are TO be kept open each year will be step
backward, and the people are opposed to a
backward movement in school matters.
1t may not be possible to open dispen-
sary in some Of the counties, especially
in those 10 which there is a strong
| religious sentiment. In order to
establish a dispensary in any county
petition signed by a certain pro-
portion of the freeholders of the county is
necessary. The question is being raised
whether a member Of a church can consist
emily sign petition of that kind The
church people in some Of the counties
threaten any one who signs petition for
dspeusary with the loss of church member
ship. They look upon the dspensary as an
other name for barroom.
Some money for the counties and the state
may be made out OF the dispensaries if they
are honestly managed. The dispensary sys-
tenn has been in operation IN Clarke county,
in this state, for some time, and gives quite
general satisfaction. In Athens, the leading
city Of the county, there was sold during
sixteen months ending Feb /, ST., 1922 OF
worth of liquors, on which the gross
profit was S26, S96 "a and the net profit
! Sl4,693 "a. That was not large profit on
the sale Of Intoxicating liquors in a
town of the size of Athens, but it shows
that there is considerable money to be made
out of the dispensary system. There is no
doubt that the system has one good effect
| it greatly reduces drunkenness and also the
amount of crime that is traceable to
| whisky.

1t is said that Mr. Thurber, the young
man who will be Mr.. Cleveland's private
secretary, will give up law practice that
brings him an income of $4,000 year to
accept place that pays only So, $50 Such
a movement may look to some as the result
of poor Judgment. But It may not be. The
office OF private secretary is a very i'm
portant one, and frequently leads to some-
thing better. There is "Dan' Lamont. for
instance. From private secretary he has
become a cabinet minister, and the country
knows that be is a good man for any place
But the country would probably never have
known it if he had never been a private
secretary.

The chorus of commentator of the app
pointmeut of Mr.. Herbert to the navy
portfolio increases daily. Even ex-Secre-
tary w. E. Chandler, Of New Hampshire
has said, through his organ, the Concord
Monitor: LAS member and chairman of
the House naval committee for many years
he has shown an intelligent interest in the
reconstruction OF the navy, and has been
broad, liberal, and patriotic in his views.
No better selection for Secretary of the
Navy could have been made by Mr.. Cleve-
land Such sentiments, expressed by men
who are known to represent the popular
feeling in their states, show that the bitter
ness Of war times is thing of the past. 1t
is true that some republicans, like " Jim"
Clarkson and John A Cockerill, continue
to harp on the old war chord but they do
not represent the better elements Of the
northwest and the north.

the values we're as follows: Getaway frock

lined overcoat, $50. Other wearing ap-
parel ran the entire amount to S4lS. The
