Unconstitutional

CHARLESTON, June 4-The amended
.dispensary law received q dose of"knock-
out drops'' III the United States circuit
court this afternoon.
Judge simonton declared in his opinion
that so much of the dispensary law which
refers to the seizing, testing and confisca-
ton Of liquors, ordered for personal con
sumption by the residents of this State, ia
In conflict with the Constitution of the
United States, and is therefore null and
void.
He holds that a resident has the right
to order his liquor from beyond the State,
end to receive it without having it inter-
Eered with in any manner
The opinion is a lengthy and exhaustive
legal document. It fully covers the su0-
ject matter which has been in dispute.
The greater portion Of the opinion deals
with the section of tho law referring to
the testing o~fliquors, and, as stated above
Judge Simcnton denies the validity Of
such testing. He considers it a burden
on commerce.
Judge Simonton shows that the provis.
ions or the law are directed towards Civ
ing the State q monopoly of the liquor
trade.
In conclusion, he states: "The present
act gives to certain persons, the board of
control, the sole power of purchasing and
importing into this State an article recog-
nized as an article of commerce. The
monopoly 10 invested in them by pro-
visions of such striDgency and secured
by such extraordinary sanction that every
other person of this State and all citizens
of other States are absolutely deprived Of
competition with them. Thus the pro-
ducts, as we'll as the citizons of other
States, are Disseminated against, and in
terstate commerce is destroyed"
Judge Simonton will therefore hold all
constablrs and police officers who seized
liquor intended for personal consumption
in contempt and will punish them accord
ingly.-SpeciaI to Columbia State.

The States Lawsuits.

The decision Of Judge Sinonton knock
ing out the special provision put into the
State dispensasy law to get around his
Injunction regarding the importation Of
liquors into tie State from another State,
the provision requiring all such shipments
to be analy zed by the State chemist, was
much talked Of in official circles yester-
day. OF course Judge Simonton vas
soundly and thoroughly "cussed" for
having made such q decision.
Getting down to business Governor
Evans stated that the State would simply
continue its present policy towards ship
ments Of liquors from outside the State
for "personal use." He says tina. pending
the adjudication of the matter the on-
stables were instructed to observe the
Injunction, and not to make any seizures
under the 10 dispensary law. The State
will, of course. appeal from Judge Simon
toms decision to the United States su-
preme court and in the meantime the for
mer injunction will be observed as here
tofore.
All the other d~ispensary cases, inclu-
whole principle Of the system of dealing
with the liqnor traffic, are now pending
before the United States supreme court
and they are to be heard on Oct. l next.
Attorney General Barber says he will
endeavor to have the appeal ready and
get the court to hear this case at the came
time. The appeal from Judge Simonton's
injunction will be heard at that time and
the court will decide whether it will
stand.
The State authorities do not appear to
be oyer-anxious to hasten the decision OF
the United States supreme court on the
principles involved in the d~ispensary
system of dealing with the liquor traffic.

"The spirit of scientific research"
eays the Philadelphia Times, (which has
harnesssd electricity to the service OF
man and made it possible 10 produce q
picture ,f the skeleton of a living person
should, if directed to the discovery of the
atmospheric conditions productive of tor
pedues, lead TO some practical results.
CYCLONES could not be prevented, nor the
exact locality Of their development pre-
dicted, but 1t should be possible to warn
the people of any given section of the ex-
istence OF cyclonic conditions, and thus
enable them TO take all possible precau-
tons for safety in case q tornado should
suddenly develop. Much of the loss OF
lite due to past cyclones could have been
prevented had the victims been given
five minutes notice Of their approach.
We believe something: practical in this
direction is a possibility of the future,
through a careful study of the known
conditions which usually precede the
development of cyclones" THIS Is all
we'll said, and points the way undoubtedly
to the most useful scientific research re-
psrdiug the dreaded storm. But the
Times mixes terms hopeles>ly. A "tor-
nado'' is not a "cyclone," and the exact
locality of the development Of cyclones
can be pretty C osely predicted. Ihey
usually develop in or nehr the Caribbean
Sea. The Gulf of Mexico or in Western
British America.
