SELLING LIQUOR AT WHOLE

If there gas ever entertained doubt
as to the right of sellers of liquors at
wholesale, except to sell to retailers for
resale at retail, that doubt has been O.
moved and is settled by the decision OF
the Supreme Court of Louisiana.
This decision of the Supreme Court
| of this State was reached in the case of
J. E. Stevens ct al, appealed from Lal1s
Charles.
The gist of the decision is that "Un-
der the general license act, No. III of
1893, page 1874, no person is deemed a
wholesale dealer unless he sells to deal
ers for resale Hence a dealer in in
toxicating liquors who sells to individ-
uals for consumption is a retailer, and
may be properly convicted as such in a
| prohibition parish"
| From a common sense view of the in
tent of the prohibition law, when it be
came enforcible in Caddo parish, in
which is included Shreveport, the eau
casian's contention was that wholesaler
could sell to a retailer for resale at re
tail, but as the law prohibited the traf-
6c at retail in Caddo parish, there could
be no retailers in Shreveport All sales
| by wholesalers to consumers, not retail
ers, were in contravention of law.
1t was this presumption of the whole
salers to sell to consumers, in the alb
senCe of retailers, that stamped the law
with discredit, until it was flagrantly
treated with. contempt by the classes al
ready inclined to ignore the law.
If there was enforced against the
wholesaler the law as it applies, in keep
ing with the decision of the Supreme
Court, every wholesaler who has sold
| intoxiCants to consumers would be La
bic, but the district attorney will prob
ably be conservative in his views of
these past offenses, and no action may
be taken in such cases. However, the
wholesaler who would sell to a con
sumner, not a retailer will be held to &C
count and on conviction would be sub
ject to a fine and imprisonment or both
and a term on the good roads.
With this decision of the Supreme
Court, the law applying to prohibition
can be enforced as it should be in all
sections of the State where prohibition
is effective, and it will now devolve on
fearless and impartial enforcement of
the law to evidence whether such law
can be made as enforcible as any of the
laws which, as larceny and crimes of
frequent occurrence, notwithstanding
the assignment of the convicted to the
penitentiary.

AN EXTRA SESSION OF THE
IFGISI AZURE.

Is there such another State in the
Union as Louisiana? A State more thor
oughly boss-ridden and where one or a
few men dominate at will?
Perhaps Pennsylvania may be cited
but if as boss-ridden as Louisiana, the
Legislature has seldom been called into
extra session.
Unlike Pennsylvania and other boss
ridden States of the North, Louisiana
experience in extra sessions will stand
without parallel in the records of all
the States.
The purpose of the extra session OF
the Legislature, which is called to con-
vene in Baton Rouge on the 18th day Of
November, relates to the bonded indebt-
edness of New Orleans, connected with
a scheme of assessing National and
State bonds, also to enable the consid-
Grafton by the Senate of recent appoint
ments by the Governor and to elect a
United States senator.
| 4 IlS NIoNSIilOl Sould nave
the programme by limiting the cali to
the election of senator and to the ap-
proval of his appointments since the ad-
journment of the Legislature
AS the Governor will have some years
of activity as the head of the State, we
would suggest that he should make his
administration memorable in extra ses-
sions of the Legislature.
For instance, having settled, if he can,
| the United States senatorial inbroglio
to the entire satisfaction of Judge
Thornton and of others, it would be in
order to have an extra session about
March or April next, and another in
July, and still another in November or
December 1911. Any pretext will do to
keep the extras in motion.
Seriously, the political conditions in
Louisiana are becoming grave. There is
too much politics of the boss kind for
the good of the people, and it will not
be surprising if the proverbia1 straw
which broke the came1's back may be
demonstrated most effectively and at no
very distant day. The limit has almost
been reached.

When the trap is sprung the con- demned person drops through it into the darkened cell below and is seen no more by them. unless they are shown the lifeless body later. As soon as the trap is sprung the prison physician and any other functionaries who may legally do so or whose services are required, pass into the cell where they until the physician pronounces the doomed man dead.
