against the automobile by bankers, rail-

continue to market their product without
difficulty and, moreover find the public

600, and for 1911 about 100000, with an
average value of approximately $125O.
Outsiders say that the automobile craze
will die out in a year or two, like the

A Matter Of State Regulation

This IS a matter of State regulation and control entirely. The Federal Government does not guar anfce the wholesaler the right to sell liquor in viola ton of State Law A Government License is sim ply permit to engage in the business in so far as the Government Is concerned, but does not attempt to protect the one to whom is issued in the carrying on of the business Every one knows that Federal license to retail liquor does not protect the who does it in the violation of State law. No more does a Federal license to a manufacturer a~wholesaler protect the one to whom such license is issued as against State law. Many States have wholly pro- hibited the manufacture and sale of liquors in any quantity, therefore this Is matter wholly within the control of the State
The Newark journal., 1910-09-09
The Reason For This Law

Inasmuch as this County has for number of years been voting against license each time by n- creased majorities, some may ask why the necessity of such law? Section 5O93 of Kirbys Digest of the Statutes of Arkansas prohibits the sale of intoxicating liquors by any person without he first procures H. cense from the County Court provided, manufacture of alcohol, yinuous, ardent, malt or fermented liquors can sell in original packages without license Provided further, such original packages shall not contain less than five gallons"
 It will be observed that under this law, manufac turers may sell without license in so-caled original packages, which has been construed to mean any kind of package, provided it is from manufactur and contains not less than five gallons Under this section of State Law, number of dstileres have operated and sold their product in this County since the people have excluded the open saloon
