Liquor Order House Business
Follows Local Option
Decision.

Columbia, Mo November. j dge
Bradley's decision Saturday in the
case OF John Waters, charged with
violating the local option law, knock
ing out the effect OF the statute,
which has resulted in the revival oil
the order house business. Agents Of
distilleries and breweries are renting
rooms here and the business will soon
be In full swing.
Motion to guash the information
in the Waters case Was sustained on
the ground that the section under
which the action was brought Is I'M
constitutional.
The section is one passed and ap'
proved May 10, 1907. Its title does
not describe the body Of the act.
The court held that as man had
q right to order intoxicants himself
he can delegate the authority to an
agent, who, II he be bona fide agent,
may order for him.
Waters was charged with violating
the provisions OF the statute by buy
ing whisky for Others before the Cen
tralia saloons closed.
The Supreme Court has held again
and again that the law cannot take
from q man the right to order
through the mails or otherwise whis
Ky, or other intoxlcants, and with
that proposition as a premise 1t fol
lows inevitably that what one car
do for himself, he can do through hii

skill or one Of q personal nature.

II should advertise its needs in this respect by
using. as It were, many brass bands as possible,
and then you would certainly witness a marked
change for the better in this branch Of municipal
government"
ANOTHER METHOD SUGGESTED.
Another hearer suggested another method for
curing property by the city which he thought
would be better than thai generally used now. He
said that the Real Estate Board OF Brokers had
committee sppraisements and its number
large. and therefore included in would be found
many zeal est1t- experts who were thoroughly con-
versant with values in uptown. midtown down
town districts The service Of this committee ought
TO be employed by the city whenever officials en-
powered TO buy property iT doubt as 10 us
value or whenever the need of such committee
arises. Mr.. Bachman thought both these SIG
Gestons excellent and worthy Of careful considera-
tor hy ali persons working TO elevate the tone OF
municipal government especially that Of the great
