Ensley opera house. The story that runs
through the play deals with the familiar
phases of life in an Indiana settlement,
and In it there is a bit of real life, with
It's joys, heartaches and strifes. 1t Is
story of real heart interest, with fresh
love story and lots of humor.
Mr.. Day, under whose personal direc-

To the people Of this commun-
ity we heartily recommend The
Kansas City Daily Post as a
newspaper. II has the strongest
and best telegraphic service Of
all the papers in Kansas City
the Hearst service. The Associ-
ated Press reports have always
been prejudicial to the Demo-
cratic party and readers of Demo-
cratic papers have not been able
to get at the true inwardness OF
things, because the Associated
Press is dominated by Repub-
licans. who in turn are dominated
by the trusts. The Hearst ser
vice is free, fair and independent.
In market reports The Post is
unsurpassed by any paper in the
West. Every detail is thorough
and complete. 1t is organizing
a strong corps of country cores
pondents who are gathering news
for it and sending the same in as
specials. 1t is reliably Demo-
cratic, vigorous, conservative and
straightforward. The subscrip-
ton price of The Post is $3.50 a
year by mail. Therefore, all who

CAN SHIP LIQUOR c. o. D.
Supreme Court Hands Down
a Decision In q Ken.
fuoky Case.

Kansas cannot stop c. o. d.
shipments of liquor when they
are made in good faith and by a
person who has ordered the liq-
uor. This matter was settled by
a decision of the supreme court OF
the United States last week,
when they handed down deci-
sion in a case where this was the
issue. The case went up from
the Kentucky courts and was APP
pealed by the Adams Express
company. The company agent
was fined 500 in the state courts
for permitting a C. o. d. ship
ment of liquor over his road. The
fine was imposed under a state
statute which provides that ship
ments of liquor by the method
commonly known as C. o. d.
shipments shall be unlawful in
Kentucky where the money is to
be paid at the end of the ship
ment.
The lower courts held that as
the shipment had been in the
company's Office for a week, that
it ceased to be interstate business
and the company became thereby
a mere ware houseman and sub
ject to state law, this view.
Much as we sympathize with
the effort of a state to enforce the
law in that state on liquor ship
ments we cannot safely hold any
other rule than that it is a viola
tion congress can alone deal, the
court declared. In this particu-
lar case the consignee did not or
der the gallon of whiskey in ques-
ton, and therefore the lower
courts held that the express COM
pany was merely a sales agent.
Under this ruling the old prac-
tice of sending liquor into the
state to John Doe and permitting
any person to pay the charges
and take it out could be resumed.
The express companies some time
ago ordered that this cease. They
may resume now.
