Property-Holdcrs' Liability,

The ground taken by the Supreme Court
in connection with the limitation of the
scope of injunction proceedings as regards
the owners of buildings in which intox-
icating liquor is illegally sold, will com
mend itself TO the public as based on COM
mon sense as well as common law. 1t
would be manifestly unjust 20 hold own
ers OF buildings without exception to be
liable to the odium of injunction without
guilty knowledge on their part. 1t is pcs
sihe to conduct the sale of Intoxicating
liquor in connection with many other
kinds of business, and tenants not infre-
quently carry on business other than
that for which the building was nominal
ly leased TO hold that every property
holder could be rightly made subject to
an injunction on account of the sale of
intoxicating liquor on the premises, even
if he were entirely ignorsnt of the inten-
ton of the tenant to conduct such traffic
would work a manifest injustice.
There are cases, of course, in which the
owner of building makes a lease with
actual knowledge that the occupant is to
carry on a traffic in intoxicating liquors,
and persists in allowing the continued &C.
cupancy of the structure by the offender
even after nuisance proceeding have been
successfully instituted, and the wisdom of
those sections of the law, emphasized by
the court, making it discretionary with the
States Attorney whether or not to make
the owner a party and placing it entire
ly within the discretion of the chancellor
to decide whether the defendant should
have the benefit of both an admission and
denial of the facts alleged. is evident.
The decision of the court to the effect
that in injunction proceedings aginst an
owner of Il leased building it. is necessai
to make an allegation that an illegal bust
ness is conducted in such building with
that il must be proved that the owner did
know an Illegal business was being con-
ducted therein before he can he enjoined,
will have the effect of course to open a
loop-hole of escape for those owners Of
real estate who desire to continue to lease
their property for purposes of liquor
traffic. 1t will be an easy matter for the
owner OF a DullnlnS 10 effect tease NllN-
out asking any questions as to the pur-
pose for which it is to be used, and even
though he may suspect that liquor is to
be sold therein he may yet avoid actual
knowledge.
A. the court indicated however, the law
in this instance is aimed at places which
have earned the right TO be declared
nuisances, and where successive prosecu-
tions for the illegal sale of intoxicatin 6
liquor have been conducted successfully
it will be a difficult matter for even a
property owner of the nature indicated TO
ignore the notorious character OF his pre-
misses and profit by the discre ton placed
in the hands of the States attorney and
the court The decision will plainly
strengthen the law with the people, even
though il increases the difficulty of reach
ing property owners; for it appeals to rea-
son, to the sense Of fairness and to JUS

If there are any producers Of tobacco
IN the Connecticut valley who are inclin-
cd to favor tho erection of a tariff bar
rier between Porto Rico and the rest or
our American territory in order to secure
protection for their industry, they may
gain new light from a statement Just
made by some of the leading tobacco
manufacturers Of Porto Rico The latter
insist that they could do six times their

unCticut tobacco for their wrappers for
