The attempt to prohibit the saloons To-
Gated upon the other side of the river
from delivering their goods in our village
has proved a failure. Judge Powers of

Fits and States Attorney H. D. Ryder
have all arrived at the decision that the
all lie
press, being a common carrier, cannot
be prohibited from bringing 1t over the
river any more than the American ex-
press, or the railroads. 1t is probably
fact that this express company is or
ganized for the purpose of delivering
these goods from the dealers over the
river and 1t seems unfortunate that there
is no law which will reach them without
violating the United States interstate
commerce rights
