FEDERAL PROHIBITION.

An attempt is on in Congress to
make the Federal Government par
ticipant in the sumptuary system IF
the States which effect to prohibit
the use of liquor. In some of such
States, liquors, even wine, beer and
cider are outlawed they cease to be
property and are subject to seizure and
obstruction, leaving the owner without
recovery or remedy.
Up to this time the right of a cit
izen to have his own house and for his
own use liquors, has been protected by
the interstate commerce law. A Cit
iZen of Kansas can buy case of wine
in California and have it shipped to his
home for use as a part of the diet on
his own table, and the prohibition law
of Kansas can not touch it because
it is commerce originating in another
State. Now it is proposed to stop this.
Mr.. Hepburn, who represents a pro-
hibition State in Congress, has intro
duced into the House a bill which pro-
vides that when liquor in original
package is consigned from one State
intO another as soon as it enters the
State of it's destination becomes SUBJ
ject to all the laws of the latter State
This means that when a case of
California wine enters Kansas, con-
signed to citizen of that State for
his private use, it ceases to be his
property. The car Of warehouse or the
owners house may be entered by a
force and the wine taken out and des-
troyed! The proponents of the bill
claim for Congress the right to pass
IL under that clause in the Federal
constitution which gives to Congress
the right to regulate commerce bet
weer tho . ates. Wine is an import
ant article of Commerce produced in
California. Has Congress the right to
prohibit commerce therein between
California and Kansas, Iowa, Main,
Texas and South Carolina?
1t is known that in the prohibition
cult tobacco ranks next to liquor.
How long will it be before that is pro.
hibited by the same States and the
tobacco producing States will fall un-
der Federal prohibition of their com.
merce? When the right of sumptuary
legislation is once conceded a wide
field is opened for Interference of nat
ural right.
1t is a dangerous experiment for
Congress to destroy the equal appli
cation Of the commercial law of the
country by forbidding between any o!
the States in any property that has a
legal existance and protection at tho
place of it's origin.
In morals it is a serious question
whether force has ever produced 3
permanent good. The work of Father
Mathew and the old Washingtonians
did wore for the abstention from thu
abuse Of liquor than has been done oy
the modern idea of force Congress:
should long consider before it make
the Federal Government a party +,
the idea of forcing morals or religiC :
by law upon any of our citizens.-S. =

SHALL DENMARK
Be NEUTRALlzED?
ST. PETERSBURG LEGAL LIGHT
DECLARES FOR THE PLAN.
Such Move Would Give Kingdom
Legal Basis for the Intervention of
Friends in the Event Of an Attack
Question of Peculiar Importance
Now.

The National Tidende of Copenha-
gen publishes an interview with the
professor of international law in st.
Petersburg, M. de Martens, who ex-
presses himself strongly in favor Of
the formal naturalization of Denmark.
Such a declaration would be recog-
n1zed by many states and especially
by Russia. Moreover, Denmark would
thus establish a legal basis for the
intervention Of her friends in the event
of an attack upon her neutrality.
The Vossische Zeitung recalls the
fact that the naturalization of Nor
way and Sweden, as we'll as of Den
mark Is a long-cherished idea Of Pro-
lessor de Martens, and that he sub
nitted a monograph on the subject to
the late Car Alexander III, who did
not, however, manifest any active in
terest in the matter The Emperor
Nicholas, on the other hand, is said
to favor the naturalization of Danish
territory. In Norway and Sweden,
where proposals emanating from Rus
STA are regarded with a suspicion
which has only been increased by Rus
sian policy toward Finland, the idea
Is unlikely to find support so far as
Scandinavian territory is concerned.
The question Is not without a certain
importance for Denmark in present
circumstances, especially at a time
when the proposed reform Of the sys-
tenn of national defense has found
many voices In favor Of complete dis
armament.

swedes May Not Vote.

II Is doubtful whether the Swedish
riksdag will come to any conclusion re-
garding the electoral reforms at its pres

divergent views, while the agrarians, who
are strong, have as yet not united on
any of the different propositions. The
liberal program was seventy pledged

UPSALA CITATIONS"
The Fraternities Of the Great Swedish
University.

What fraternities are to American
universities, nations" are to the great
Swedish university at Upsala. The
whole student body Of 1900 Is divided
into thirteen nations" according to
the provinces from which they come.
In an article on Upsala in Harpers,
DR.. Charles T. Thwing tells an inter-
esting story Of Upsala, as follows:
The nations" of the University Of Up
sala constitute it's most significant char
acteristic A nation Is a body composed
Of the students who come from certain
province of Sweden. In origin the term
is geographical distinction. The thir-
teen nations into which the students are
divided correspond to thirteen different
provinces, and every student Of province
IS a member Of the nation Of his province.
Each of these bodies owns or leases q
house. This is essentially fraternity or
clubhouse. It usually contains a library,
reading and Writing-room, mushroom, OF
foes and rooms for the use Of committees.
The houses are Of varying size and elab-
orateness, but in general they represent a
well-equipped clubhouse Of a small city.
They remind one, Of course, OF the COM
non-room at Oxford or Cambridge, except
that the size of common-room Is usual
1y multiplied three or fourfold. The mem
bers are Of two sorts, active and hon
orary. The active include usually the
students, the honorary, the teachers OF
the university former active members,
and certain persons elected. The govern

officers known as inspectors and "cura-

Supposed Newfane Safe
Breakers Hearing
WAS HELD FOR TRIAL
His Pal Who Was Shot Is Getting

WAS HELD FOR TRIAL

Brattleboro, Aug. S.-The hearing
of j. F. Mccarthy, who was arrested
in Brattleboro Friday morning by
Chief of Police Hall on suspicion of
being connected with the Newfane bank
robbery case, took place today at
Newfane before Justice c. E. Skinner.
States Attorney A. F. Schwenk APP
peared for the prosecution and Attor-
ney r. G. Bacon for the respondent,
who pleaded not guilty to the charge
of breaking and entering and waived
examination.
The state put on number of witness
ses, the principal one being Chief OF
Police Hall He told of the several
conflicting stories which Mccarthy,
when arrested, gave as to his where
abouts the previous night. A Colt A
revolver, a bag containing Is cartrid-
ges, black handkerchief and a pock-
etbook, all found ON the prisoner,
were also introduced as evidence. AT
the close of the hearing, Justice Skin
ner bound the man over in the sum OF
$500 for his appearance before the
grand jury.
Mccarthy, who is good looking
man of about 30 years, powerfully
built and by no means of a criminal
type, showed no-signs of emotion dur
ing the proceedings. He will, in all
probability be unable to furnish bail.
The other prisoner, who was shot
Friday morning near the corner of the
bank building, is getting along we'll,
although his wounds are very painful
and he is in no shape to talk. None OF
the rest of the gang has vet been ap-
pretended, although the officers are

his residence there had made many
friends.
He joined the Methodist church when
q years of age, and had always been

PUBLIC HEARING GIVEN
Proposal That All Parts of the

Public Cemetery.
PUBLIC HEARING GIVEN

For some time it has been evident
that increased cemetery Accommodations
for the town have been needed, and
four years ago at the regular March
meeting a committee composed of Har-
rison l. Norton, j. Ed Walbridge and
two others were appointed to see what
could be done.
This committee has never made any
report. The old cemetery at Benning-
ton Center and the Catholic cemeteries
are practically filed. AT the village
cemetery on East Main street, few lots
can be secured except from private
owners and the rock found there is
great detriment to the place for buri-
ais.
To sec what could be done, several
men met the selectmen at the town Off
ces. Saturday, and the subject was con
sidered. A committee composed OF a.
K. Richie, Rev A. j Barron, Frank
Cromack and Leon Lamarre was APP
pointed, who will investigate the mat
ter look over different lots that have
been suggested, and report at meet
ing to be held later.
