PROHIBITION LAWS
 VALID IN GEORGIA

Atlanta, February l4.-Holding that the state law prohibiting the manufacture of alcohol in Georgia is constitutional and overruling every point raised by George w. Cureton, who operated a distillery m Dade county, the state supreme court to- cay certified the case back to the court of appeals
 The closing of the Cureton dstillery by the state authorities was given great pub lCity about year ago because of the clash between state and federal officers in which a government gauger was ar rested for refusing to testify before a state grand jury. Cureton was tried be- fore Judge Fite in Dade county superior court and convicted of violating the state law prohibiting the manufacture of al cohol The case was appealed and be- cause Of constitutional questions raised it was taken tp the supreme court for de- cisicns on tlUise points.
 "Alcohol is judiciously recognized in this state as spirituous and intoxicating liquor Indeed, alcohol is the intoxicating element of liquor generally and were 1t lot for effects of alcohol there would probably be no laws prohibiting the man ufs cture or sale of liquors. Under the police power not only the sale but the manufacture of spirituous liquors may be prohibited. Tho wisdom and expediency of SO doing is a question for the legisla- ture, not for the courts,' this was the decision given out by Justice Lumpkin.
 Cureton attempted to show he had the right to manufacture alcohol when the same was not sold as a beverage, under the state act.

WSET POINT CADETS ARE NOT PARD0NED

Washington, February 14.-President Taft today sent to Congress a message vetoing joint resolution. authorizing g hlm to reinstate nine former cadets of the West Point Military academy who were discharged upon confession of having violated the law prohibiting hazing.
 The cadets affected are William T. Rossell, Harry G. Weaver. John H. Booker, Albert =. Crane, Richard T. Crocker, Jacob S. Fortner, Gorden Le- febre, Chauncey c. Devore and Earl ". Dunmore. They were dismissed from the academy under the old law per- hitting dismissal as an alternative when found guilty of this offense. Since their dismissal law has been passed granting a trial and the object is to give these young men the benefit Of this nrivilege.
 In his message of ..sproval Presi- dent Taft gives his reasons as fol- lows: a
 These cadets received a fair and impartial trial in accordance with the law as it existed at the time of their trial and were punished and dismissed. Their connection with the military academy has been entirely severed and they now are in civil life The super intendent of the military academy the chief of staff and the Secretary of War are of the opinion that the enactment of this Joint resolution would have an injurious effect on the military academy and would tend to serious demoralize the discipline there. In this opinion I concur"
