THE DRUG PERMIT LAW.

State Pharmaceutical Association Re-
eeives An Opinion On the Legal
Phases Of the Law From Attorney
Engerud.
The legislative committee of the
state pharmaceutical association has
received the written opinion of Attor-
ney Engerud on the features of the
permit law known as the Shells bill
and following are the more potent Sec
tions of the opinion:
A druggist may keep alcohol or any
other liquor in stock for the purpose
of making tinctures or other mixtures
in any quantity desired; provided he
does not keep the liquors for sale and
does not sell them, in any form. pure
or mixed, which comes within the
class OF liquors known as "intoxicat-
ing beverages"
1t will be noted. too. that under the
statute the possession OF liquor under
certain circumstances by one not law
fully entitled to sell it may be prima
facie evidence OF guilt. 1t is only,
however. when so found upon search
under Il warrant that it is evidence Of
guilt. Hence if an action should be
commenced against a druggist to en-
join a nuisance and proof is submitted
to the court of illegal sales and a
searcn warrant be issued and liquor
be found on the premises the druggist
would have the burden " proving that
he had not sold intoxicating liquors
and that the liquors in his possession
were only used for lawful purposes.
The mere possession Of liquor would
moi necessarily convict him.
A druggist with a permit cannot sell
intoxicating liquors On a physicians
prescription. The prescription would
be no protection. however meritorious
the case in other respects.
The fact that the law in question
PoAhheH SuiVS VI idi6CI HuhIttlCS W
fellow druggists does not violate the
constitutional provision against class
legislation.
A druggist who has no permit and
does not sell intoxicating liquor is not
liable for the federal tax Of $50 per an
mum imposed on retail liquor dealers.
There is nothing in the Shells bill
which in any way restricts the right
OF a person 70 purchase liquor for a
third person as heretofore for medic
inal purposes; but it seems that liquor
needed for other than medicinal uses
must be applied for personally by the
individual who desires to use it.
All existing permits will be cancelled
en- July l., 1903. when the new law
takes effect. The law relating to
druggists permits is purely a police
regulation. The granting of a permit
does not create any contract and pos
sesses none Of the elements Of a con-
tract. and is therefore within the absO-
lutte control of the Legislature to can
eel or modify at any time subject only
to such limitations as govern the exer
else of police power.
With respect to the constitutionality
of the law I have very grave doubts.

The farmers say that unless we
have good rain before many days
the crops will be a failure In this
section of the country, for lack OF
rain. Many farmers have been un-
able to get their corn planted.
They plowed the ground when 1t
was very wet and now 1t has dried
out and Is baked so hard they can
not harrow 1t or do anything with

soon be here to begin work. The
officers of the association have been
quietly at work engaging a team
and before many days the men will
be here. If we have a good attend
auce Saturday the association will
be at least $3.50 ahead and that
amount of money will start them
out with money In the treasury.
If you find you can not attend Sat
urday, buy ticket or two, or give
dollar or two. If you want to.
make 1t a ten dollar bill. A ball
team Is a good advertisement. Il
Is an exciting game, one that any

The question is often asked If
we are to have a new hotel here In
place of the Mercer hotel. The
Mercer building Is owned by the
Reymann Brewery company, OF
Wheeling. This week Mr.. Rey-
mann was here TO look oyer his
hotel property and to decide If he
will build new hotel or not. He
told some gentlemen here he was
willing to take stock in a company
to build fine hotel where the
Mercer now stands. He was told
that he could readily sell the stock
for such a building ard was asked
what he proposed to do. He said
he was wiling to put the Mercer
hotel building and the lot 1t STANDS
On into a company for the suug
sum of twenty five thousand dol

about fifteen thousand dollars
more than Its worth. Oh

Editor OF The Tlmes-Dispatc h:
Sir.-I noticed in your paper few weeks
ago that Judge Mann would offer Dill
in the Legislature that would embody the
views OF that element in the Constitu-
tional Convention that commended for
something more on the temperance ques-
ton than the clause that simply permits
the people to vote on local option.
i would like to hear more Of that mea-
sure and would gladly welcome anything
tending to abolish the liquor traffic.
Now that we have prohlbitory laws IN
many Of the districts and counties Of the
State, we need other laws to make them
effective. And since we can by our
votes close the licensed saloon. let us
find way by which we can remove the
Illicit vendor. This can n ever be done
SO long as men, when summoned before
q grand jury, are allowed to close their
mouths under the plea that they cannot
be forced to eliminate themselves.
would not advocate law that would
take an individual charged with capi-
tai offense and place him on the witness
stand and force him to testify for or
against himself but we do favor q law
that will require individuals, when sum-
moned before grand jury, or a court
of justice, to tell what he knows about
the buying and selling OF Intoxicating
liquors whether 1t indicts his nelghbor
or himself, and If the courts of the State
are not now empowered to bring out sucf,
testimony We hope the present Legisla-
ture will enact law that will enable.
and COMPEL the courts to bring out such
testimony. we hope that Judge Mann
will engraft this feature in his bill, or
that some other member, who would
earn the lasting good will OF the people,
will present 1t as separate bill,
