MAY SHIP LIQUOR
Into Local Option Towns, Su-
preme Court Says.
Kentucky Law Conflicts With
Federal Constitution.

The United States Supreme
Court on May "a reversed the
judgment of the Circuit Court of
Hart county, KY, in the case of
the Adams Express Company VS..
the Commonwealth of Kentucky,
Justice Harlan dissenting.
1t was contended that the Ken
lucky statute, as applied to the
transportation of liquor from State
to State, was in conflict with the
section of the Federal Constitu-
ton giving Congress control over
interstate commerce. This con-
tention was denied by the State
court, and thus a question arose
under the Federal Constitution
decided adversely to the plaintiff
in error.
Justice Brewer said: Liquor,
however obnoxious and hurtful it
may be in the judgment of many,
is a recognized article of COM
MERGE"
The court then quotes from the
decision of Justice White in the
Vance & Vandercrook Company
case, which says: The PROPOSE
ton is we'll established that the
right to send liquors from one
State into another, and the act of
sending the same, is interstate
commerce, the regulation whereof
has been committed by the Consti-
tuition to Congress, and, hence,
that State law which denies such
a right or substantially interferes
with or hampers the same is in
conflict with the Constitution
Clearly in the cases cited" said
the court, the State statute cannot
be sustained. The judgment OF
the Circuit Court of Hart county
is reversed, and the case remanded
to that court for further proceed
ings not inconsistent with the
views expressed"

DANGER OF The HOuSt-flY.
BY DR.. l.. o. HOWARD.

To make people realize the dan
ger that turks in the sticky foot
steps of the house fly or typhoid
fly, DR.. l.. O. Howard, one of the
foremost entomologists in this
country. has written the following
article on the danger of the fly:
Get your screens up. Do it
now. The typhoid flies are just
beginning to make their appear
ance. Don't let them get estab-
lished.
1T is demonstrated beyond
question that the hy-what people
used to call the house hy-is the
principal cause of typhoid fever.
1t is also a big causative factor in
tuberculosis and intestinal diseases.
Take the Spanish-American
war for example. 1t furnishes the
most striking instance of the dan
ger of the typhoid fly, previously
considered harmless.
"One man in every five who
went to the front got typhoid fever
during the campaign, the disease
manifesting itself within the first
two months of encampment. Ty-
phoid fever caused 80 per cent. of
all the deaths in that war. Ty-
phoid was four times as fatal as
the Spaniarda' bullets.
A United States army medical
commission was appointed to find
out the cause of this remarkable
epidemic.
Most people thought that bad
water was the cause Of typhoid.
1t was not. Bad water brought on
only a small percentage of the
deaths.
The real cause, as the medical
commission learned after thor
ough investigation, was the ty-
phoid fly.
The fly thrives in the country,
where it breeds in stables and car
ries disease to the farmers homes.
1t thrives in the city, where it can
spread the thousands of germs it
carries among thousands ofpeople.
1T is highly important for peo-
pie to be on their guard. City or
dinances governing stables and the
disposition of refuse, and the plac-
inc of screens in windows and
doors of houses by individuals will
help much in the meantime"

UNUSUAL Scene
Witnessed at Auditorium When
Saloon Question Comes Up.

In Lexington on Tuesday night,
May %, Evangelist w. 7. Brooks
made public answer to Mayor
Skain's interview published in
Mondays Leader. This question
was handed the evangelist by
some one:
Mr.. Brooks: | note in the
Leader that the Mayor says that
the police are doing all in their
power to enforce the laws against
Sunday violation by the saloons
and that he expresses surprise that
any of the saloons are open. How
many people in Lexington do you
suppose will believe what the
Mayor saysW
Mr.. Brooks, in answering, said
that he would not assume to know
more about the city than its own
citizens, and asked: IF there are
those who think he is correct,
please indicate the same by rising
to your feet" Not a soul stood.
Finally one man arose.
Now, how many people believe
the Mayor has misrepresented the
factsl"
Practically the whole audience
of about one thousand people rose
to their feet.
Now the Mayor of Lexington
has his answer. If | were Mayor
of Lexington and one thousand OF
its best citizens publicly declared
that | had misrepresented the
facts in a matter like this, | would
resign my Office and apologize fol-
my poor benighted condition.
You people have passed sentence
upon your own official.
Now, | want to ask how many
people in the audience have seer
people passing in and out of Lex
ington saloons on Sunday anC
could testify of your own knowl
edge that the saloons are open or
the Lords Day"
About three hundred people
stood up.
There is evidence for h {
Mayor, cried the evangelist. Nov
he wants me to swear out war
rants against the five men who
sold liquor to two men last Sun
day, which | do not intend to do
| am not prosecuting a few mel
of Lexington. | am after the
good people of Lexington to make
your officials enforce the Law
against all these saloons, and from
the message [ have received today
| am persuaded that the peopl;
are aroused"

Clean Primaries Planned.

The Democrats and Republicans
of Greensboro have united in a
movement for clean primaries,
and have about reached the deci-
sion that joint primary is the
best solution of the corruption
problem. the plan goes through

there will be two sets of officers
and two ballot boxes at every poll.
BY this means hoaters cannot vote
in both primaries and dealing in

SALOONISI
Whose License is Revoked Can-
nat Recover fees.

By a decision of the Court of
Appeals at Frankfort, May 26, a
saloonkeeper whose license has
been revoked by the proper au
thorities cannot recover from the
city the unearned portion of the
yearly license fee which he has
paid for the privilege of opening
the saloon. The case was that of
the city Of Louisville against
Mary Cain. The License Board
revoked Mary Gains license be-
cause of alleged selling of liquor
in violation of the Sunday laws.
The woman rendered her license
and demanded a return of the I'M
earned portion of the license. She
sued and recovered judgment for
$l31. The full court was sitting
in consideration of the case and
reversed the judgment of the
lower court. The higher court
says that the woman had nothing
to surrender. her license having
been revoked, and that therefore
she was not entitled to recover.
The court decided, in addition,
that as no definite sum was named
in Mary Gains bond for her full
iiliunent of the requirements of the
law, the city cannot recover on
her bond.

1.-The damps of death are coming fast,
NV father Ter my brow;
The past, with all its scenes, has fled,
And must turn me now CT
To that dim future which in vain
My feeble eyes descry;
Tell me, my father, in this hour,
In whose stern faith to die'
s'In thine? watched the scornful smile
And heard the whitening tone,
Whene'er the Christians humble hope
Was placed above thine own;
I've heard thee speak of coming death
Without a shade of gloom,
And laugh at all the childish fears
That cluster round the tomb.
"Or is it in my mothers faith2
How fondly do trace,
Through many a weary year long past,
That calm and sanity face!
How often do call to mind,
Now she is meath the sod,
The place, the hour i'll which she drew
Ny early thoughts to God.
"'Twas then she took this sacred book,
And from its burning page
Read how it's truths support the soul
In youth and failing age
And babe me in its precepts lie,
And by its precepts die,
That might share a home of love
In worlds beyond The sky.
"My father, shall look above,
Amid this gathering gloom,
10 Him whose promises of love
Extend beyond the tomb
Or curse the being who has blest
This checkered path of mine,
And promises eternal rest,
Or die, my sire, in thine?"
The frown upon that warrior brow,
Passed like a cloud away,
And tears coursed down the rugged cheek
That flowed not till that day
'"Not-uot in mine" with choking voice
The skeptic made reply
"But in thy mothers holy faith,
My daughter, may'st thou die!'
