OklahOmans Not Limited

Citizens of Oklahoma NAV
keep more than a quart of whis-
key or other intoxicating liquor
in their places of business if they
choose, and they may sequester
more than a gallon of it in their
residences, according to an opin-
ion handed down by the court of
criminal appeals on Dec. Is.
That portion of the Oklahoma
prohibition law which limits the
amount Of liquor citizens may
have in their possession at one
time was the issue. The court
held that it violates the four
teenth amendment of the federal
constitution, which provides that
no state shall pass any measure
which deprives any citizen of the
United States of property with
out due process of law.

An Unusual Case

A jury in St. Louis the other
day did an unusual thing. The
presiding judge ordered the jury
to bring in a directed verdict but
upon retiring for that purpose,
refused to do so. The Judge was
some worked up over the matter
OF being denied anything he
might direct the jury to do, and
attempted to coerce the men in
to carrying out his orders, but
was unsuccessful. Finally he in
structed them to return and de-
liberate and return a verdict,
which they did in direct oppo-
sition to his instruction in the
first instance. He accepted the
verdict but announced that it
would be set aside upon motion
of either side.
While the practice has always
been that a judge may direct a
verdict, it sounds like a return
to reason and the exercise of
good common sense to curb the
custom and let the jury decide as
it may determine the issue. It
would lessen the power of the
judge, of course, but while doing
50, would place it where it should
be, in the hands of the Jury.
which seldom goes wrong.

ADVERTISING
 CONFERENCE
WILL BE HELD MONDAY IN ST. LOUIS BETWEEN LEAGUE AND
 THE TWO RAILROADS.
There Will be an Effort to Create an Advertising Fund of $45, 5,o0o-- --Some of the Benefits of
 Advertising.

There will be conference in St. Louis Monday between President c. IN Rix anu Secretary George K. Bedding of the Business Mems League. and Messrs. H. A. Jones of the Majestic hotel. J. R. Hayes ot the Park Hotel Lyman T. Hay, Of the Arlington and Eastman hotels, Colonel Stockton of the Majetic ho- tel, Colonel s. w. Fordyye, of the public service corporations, John Sebastian and George H. Lee of the Rock Island, and C. l.. Stone, B. F. Bush and J. w. Booth of the Iron Mountain railroad. for the purpose ct creating an advertising fund for Hot Springs for the coming year.
 The proposal is to pledge s2000O in behalf of Hot Springs anu have the railroads jointly pledge $25,OOO. The subscription locally is larger than ever before attempted here, but the benefits have been so large and so certain that the people no long CT regard the money in the light ol ordinary subscriptions, but as an in Iyestment certain to bring profit. Something of the benefit of this ar yertising is taken from splendid lauthority in "Judicious Advertising, (which was prepared by MT. J. w. Booth of the advertising department of the Iron Mountain railroad. The article says:
 Space was ordered in an expanded list of newspapers, new territory be- ing invaded.
 The campaign continued for the months of January, February and March, 1911, and included two inser- tions of advertisements each week averaging about three hundred lines leach insertion. The first advertise ments appeared the middle of Janu- Iary.
 Again Hot Springs and the rail Iroads were staggered by the wonder lful results that followed immediate | ly. Hot Springs, patronage rose tC llT50o0 persons in 1911 splendid ev, idence of the cumulative effect o the advertising
 "The total advertising cost of SC Icuring the increased patronage hat been less than 75c for each visito and every guest paid the railroads land the Hot Springs business mel from slOo to $lOOo each.
 "The city has entertained during the past two years more than 200,00i guests, which is a greater number than had ever visited Hot Springs during any previous three years
 Tt is my confident belief and alst that of the business men in who's, charge has been placed the publi Ieity proposing that 100000 or nor, visitors will go to Hot Springs dur ing the 1911-12 season.
 The advertising campaign has be leone a fixture in the city's business getting calendar. It has paid monumental profit.
 (Which echoes the dependabnity O the newspaper for the sale of good which depend upon organized con lcentration.
 "On one occasion when I was wit ] Secretary Bedding last April We me several gentlemen who had subscrin ed to the advertising fund. One i particular said, I subscribed $50 las lyear put me down for $100,00 thi year. This was the general senti ment everywhere among the city business interests.
