BREWERS MEET At INDIANAPOLIS
AND DECIDE TO OBEY LAW

in the Beardsley law decision. I'm
der this law they cannot deliver or
sell beer to a private consumer. The
brewer can only sell to the dealer and
the retailer sells to the consumer. The
brewers did not appear to regret the
decision by the supreme court, because,
they said, it is their intention any how
to clean up the liquor business in this
state.
In fact. the brewers have taken on
confident air for some reason. 1t is
believed that they are expecting the To-
cal option law to be declared by the
supreme court to be unconstitutional
A decision is expected from the court
within a short time, probably within
the next week, and there is a feeling
that the court will knock out the law
OF course, there is no one outside the
court itself that knows anything abou'
what that decision will be, but some
of the best lawyers in the state are
confident that such Will be the case.
The decision of the supreme court
on his law viii have very strong eff
fct on politics in Indiana next year
Of this there can be no doubt
The general belief Is that the court

of sustaining the law and that there
are two other judges who agree with
him. There is a fourth judge. however.
who Is said to have wavered for a
WHILE and It is not known which way
be dropped 1t is said that he has i'm
sisted all along that the court ought
to hand down a unanimous opinion
sustaining the law. Another Judge,
however. who is stickler for the con-
stitution, and is said that he feels that
by no twist of the constitution can the
court find any warrant for a local op-
tion law under the constitution.
The chances are that he will file a
dissenting opinion in case the major
ity of the court holds the law good.
1t need not cause any surprise, as
the matter stands now. to see four
members of the court declare the law
either constitutional or unconstitu-
tional.
one of the judges of the Appellate
court, which has nothing to do with
this case. points out that the consti-
tuition of Indiana is different from
that of other states in which local OPP
ton laws have been held constitu-
tional He said that in other states the
constitution does not legalize the sale
of liquor by license system, while the
constitution expressly provides that the
I sale of intoxicants is within the law
! The constitution of this state also pro
| vides. he said. that the legislature shall
not suspend any constitutional priv
/ ilege The point has been made by the
] attorneys for the complaint in the
Noblesville case that local option is a
prohibition by counties and that the
constitution provides clearly that the
sale OF intoxicants is legal
Answering this the attorneys for the
state point to the decision of the su-
preme court in the Nicholson and Moore
remonstrance laws for precedent or
which the local option enactment shall
be sustained The Moore remonstrance
/ offers a form of prohibition by wards
aud townships. and 1t was upheld BY
/ a unanimous supreme court.
The fact that practically every liquor
! decision handed down by the high cour
in the last twelve years has been ia
vorable to the temperance cause ha,
caused them to rest comparatively
easy in the matter These people be
lfeve the supreme court would not OAR,
to run counter to the sentiment Of tn,
people, and they believe that the cour
would even strain a point, on this &C
count in order to hold the law good
But no matter which way the de
cision goes, it is bound to have a grea
effect on the next campaign. 1t is sale
that If the court holds the law uncon
stitutional. J. Frank Hanly will swool

form. lie will demand a declaration
in favor of state wide prohibition. A
good many of the politicians say that
such an opportunity would just suit
Hanly, because it would again put him
in the center of the political stage and
give him another chance to stand in the
limelight.
1t is understood that Hanly's con-
nection with the case now in the SUI

strange manner. r. c. Minton and At

the Anti-Saloon league is paying him
$500 for his connection with the case
and that he was employed over the

OFFICIALS TRYING
TO END STRIKE

Chicago, December s.-No formal meet
ing of the conference of railroad general
managers was held here today, although
the switchmen's strike and its effect on
the different railroads occupied much OF
the attention of the railway officials The
question of lifting the restriction against
receiving freight for shipment to differ
emit points within the strike zone was
taken up by the railroads separately.
Officials of the Chicago, Burlington
and Quincy railroad, In the afternoon,
announced that the road would accept
freight consigned to st. Paul. Minneap-
oils or Duluth and to all points in the
northwest
The Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul
railroad, it was reported, had also raised
the ban on all northwest freight, but
this rumor was denied by high officials
of the company, who said that only goods
of a non perishable character would be
accepted for northwestern points.
The traffic managers Of the various
railroads late today issued orders to re-
oeive all freight consigned to points on
thier lines without restrictions.
The subject to delay" notices posted
when the strike of switchmen began were
withdrawn. The managers declared that
within few days the conditions would
again be normal.

COUGH WEATHER

When the weathe r is cold and
stormy, most of US are more or
less subject to the unpleasant ex-
perience of colds, with the conse-
quent wearing strain OF the
cough and the danger of more
serious trouble apt to follow
neglect.
People who practice deep
breathing and who use ordinary
care to avoid sudden changes OF
temperature, dampness and ex-
posture, are less liable to take
cold than those of less methodical
! habits, At the first sign OF
cold steps should be taken to
check It. A simple. inexpensive
and effective remedy Is made by
mixing two ounces of Glycerine,
a half ounce of Virgin OIL OF
Pine compound pure and eight
ounces OF pure Whisky. 1t is
claimed by the Leach Chemical
Co, of Cincinnati. who prepare
the genuine Virgin OIL Of Pine
compound pure for dispensing
through druggists, that a tea
spoonful of this mixture four
times a day will break up a cold
in twenty-four hours and cure
any cough that is durable.
