LIQUOR ADVERTISEMENTS.
Court Holds They Can Be Legally
Barred.

Guthrie. Okla, July 1i.-Holding
that liquor advertisements could le-
gally be barred from Oklahoma news
papers. but that criminal proceedings
should be commenced against vioia-
tors OF that provision of the consti-
tuition and that an injunction against
them would not lie, the supreme
court today sustained the district
court Of Logan county in refusing
Attorney General West an Injunction
against the Guthrie State Capital TO
prevent the printing of ads for IL.
quor firms outside the state. The
court holds that the antiadvertis-
irg provisions of the constitution and
the Billups act include advertise.

quors including beer, ale or wines,

tanning similar advert .sements.
