BEER AND TAXES
PROMINENT NOW
THE AGENTS WHO TAKE ORDERS
FOR BEER IN DRY COUNTIES
VIOLATE THE LAW.
THE TELEPHONE COMPANIES
ARE FIGHTING THEIR TAX
PAYMENTS.
Note and Comment on Various Topics
From All Parts Of the State.

An agent of brewery who has his
Office in a dry county cannot solicit
orders for beer, send the money, or
der and name Of the party placing the
order to the brewery, and then receive
the beer himself and make the de-
livery to the purchaser. Such is the
law, according to an opinion given by
Attorney General Bird, who also says
that should the liquor be shipped in
separate packages directed to each In
dividual purchaser, and placed In one
large package directed to the agent,
and the agent should deliver the liq-
uor to the various persons to whom II
was consigned, the agent in so doing
would violate the local option law ana
be subject to arrest
In his opinion Attorney General
Bird holds that In both instances the
agent undertakes on payment of the
price charged to deliver to the Gus
toner a certain quantity OF liquor,
and that in such instance the agent
has control of the liquor until the
time delivery Is made.
The attorney general, however, holds
that it is not violation OF the law
when the drayage charge on liquor
shipped in for dry county is paid
by the purchaser 10 whom it is con-
signed, and the liquor is taken from
the express office or railroad station
by order of the purchaser. These
opinions were given on request of the
prosecuting attorney Of Lenawee
county.

EDWARD VII.
The Funeral Arrangements for the
Nations Dead King.

Court, military and municipal ON
Gals, working at high pressure, con-
pleted the details of the arrangements
for the kings funeral ceremonies THIS
week. The preliminary obsequies be-
gan Saturday, when, the kings Douy'
after his brother, the Duke OF Con-
naught, took his farewell look, was
removed from the simple death-room
to the splendid throne-room of the
palace, which was converted into a
chapelle ardente, where 1t remained
privately in state Sunday and Monday.
On Tuesday the body will be removed
with professional pomp to Westmin-
ster hall, where 1t will lie publicly In
state until Friday
Not even at the time of the death
of Queen Victoria was the rush for
mourning SO immediate and universal
as since the death of the king. Al
ready every woman in London Is wear
ing a black costume. Many of these
are quite out OF style and have evil
IDENTIFY been laid away for years.
Indeed, the sudden mourning has
completely revolutionized the spring
modes The mummy skirt and the
cart wheel hat have disappeared, the
desire of every woman apparently be-
ing to appear inconspicuous. The
large firms have ordered their en-
ployes to buy mourning clothes. Wo-
men of all classes are making every
effort to show respect for the dead
monarch. Many ladies are discarding
spring costumes which they recently
bought, and are wearing rusty black
The craze for mourning has, indeed,
gone to such an extent that it means
a pecuniary loss to many people.
George Bernard Shaw, the dramatist,
in a letter TO the Times, protests
against this. He says
Take the case of man with a
profession or business from which he
has a few hundred pounds a year,
with three daughters at the nearest
high school, The school is compelled
to go in mourning. The dresses pro-
vided for the season have to be dis
carded and new black dress bought.
To a court official it may be incon-
ceivable that so trifiing an expense
should be hardship to any one. The
remedy is to drop the vague express
sion decent mourning and to define
the wearing of violet ribbon as ap-
propriate mourning for royalty. This
would be correct, inexpensive and
pretty. Why our schools should be
deliberately made hideous with black
because an honorable public career
has come to its natural close in all
peace and fulfillment and with a
cheerful memory is not apparent to
any healthy minded person"
Mr.. Shaw's suggestion has been fol.
lowed by many men, so that instead
of wearing a black band purple in
set in the sleeve is regarded as the
proper thing.
Mr.. Roosevelt's arrival in London
Monday was without ostentation.

DRIVING WITH ROCKEFELLER.
Pleasant Recreation Provided for Peo-
pie OF Tarrytown by Their Fa-
nous Fellow Townsman.

To take drive with John ID. Rookie
Teller has become a regular recrea-
ton this spring for great many Of
the friends and neighbors of that ia
nous resident of Tarrytown, n. Y,
and he has increased thereby his
popularity among the people of the
little city. Not pleasant day goes
by without the oil king inviting some
of them, men. women and children,
to ride with him in automobile or car
riage, and it is safe to say that the
invitations are seldom declined, for
his vehicles are the best to be had,
and the drives around Tarrytown are
beautiful.
Mr.. Rockefeller, before starting for
a ride, always dons paper vest. de-
claring ii to be great protection
against colds, and he insists that his
guests do the same. After the ride
he refuses TO take back the garment,
aud consequently in nearly every
home in Tarrytown may be found a
paper vest preserved as souvenir
of a delightful ride with the multi
millionaire

Ejohtjno Tax Lew.

Auditor General Fuller says that the
proceedings started by seven tele-
phone companies to prevent collec-
ton of their taxes, is important TO
the school districts of the state, as
the suits will undoubtedly prevent the
usual fan apportionment of primary
school money. 1t had been expected
that about 81 per capita would be
available for distribution next Novem-
Der.
Out of 1891 ,66261 in uncollected ad
valorem taxes 1903, 00506 is at stake
in these suits. The auditor general
was served Friday night with the mo-
tionlfor a restraining order which has
beeH filed in the United States dis
trict court The question whether an
INJUNCTION will be issued to stop col
lectibn will be taken up on May 10.
If the injunction is issued the conse-
quen5t legal proceedings are expected
to tie up the tax for an interminable
length of time.
Referring to the same matter Gov
ernor Warner says: Just to show
how unreasonable some of them are,
the parent company, the American,
was getting off with payment of
1920 a year We got after them and
they admitted they have $4,000 in
the state and should have been pay
ing $4,000 year for many years. We
think they have $450,000 in the state
and assessed them accordingly, MAX
ing difference of about 81, 500 in the
tax. There is suit on for the $500
when admittedly they are good
MANY times that amount ahead of
the state in the levy of past years,
and when the assessment for this
year is only just"

NATURES PROTEST.


4 All along our eastern seaboard lie
abandoned farms. Some OF these
farms, many of them, indeed, were
once as well cultivated and productive
as any In the land, says Washington
Herald. At $50 an acre they would
have been called a gift. Now no pur-
chasers are in sight at five dollars.
What is the explanation OF the trag.
iedy, for tragedy 1t is. which lies be-
hind this swathe of desolated farm
land, when men say the more acres
la man owns, the poorer he Is. ana
where the pine and the broomsedge,
Ifiourishing in undisturbed possession
bear silent testimony to the grim
,truthfulness of the saying? 1t is ma
lures own protest against selfishness.
For years man has been getting from
his land all he could and giving moth
ing back. Men who would not be so
foolish as to suppose that their horses
could work or their cows give milk
without food have thought that their
land could go on yielding without be-
ing fed. Now they know better. But
for many the knowledge has come too
late. Ruined farms means ruined men.
Farmers are not the only people guilty
of such conduct. Every selfish man Is
making the same mistake. He Is starv'
ing his farm. Some day 1t will starve
him. 1t must do so. Natures laws
must be obeyed.
