struction. This Indebtedness, includ-
ing lot and building and the furnish
ing of the church, amounted to $4,000,
and the fact that it was constructed
during the panic and has been paid for,
every cent, certainly reflects credit
on its membership and the ladies who
have worked increasingly to lift the
debt.
Some five years ago Presbyterians
living on the east side of Hattiesburg,
believing 1t was best for their denomi-
nation that church be organized for
that part of the city, came together
and organized the Bay Street Presby

HATT1ESBRG MISSISSIPPI WEDNESDAY, AFTERNOON MAY 1911
Mr.. TRAVIS ON UNIFORM
LEGISLATION BY STATES

means by the civilized nations Of the |
world during the present generation.
Uniformity of action by independent
states gave to this country the Declara-
ton of independence, the Articles of
Confederation, and, finally, the instru-
ment, the purposes of which were in
its preamble declared to be, ITO form
more perfect Union, establish JUS
tice, insure domestic tranquility, pro-
vide for the common defense, promote
the general welfare, and secure the
blessings of liberty to ourselves and
our posterity."
Hence, uniformity of action by inde-
pendent states established the govern
ment under which we today enjoy the
blessing of liberty" and the pursuits
of happiness. The United States Con-
stituion, as subsequently construed by
the Supreme Court, erected a dual
form of government. It gave us the
national government, which, though
limited in it's objects, is supreme and
sovereign with respect to those OBJ
iects. At the same time, it contem-
plated the perpetuity of the states In
the exercises of all the powers not del
egated to the general government, nor
prohibited to them, each state to be
supreme and sovereign with respect to
such powers, and the two sovereign
ties to act harmoniously within their
respective spheres in fulfillment Of q
single purpose, a common destiny
This was a departure, new form oi
government-two Independent and
sovereign powers exercising simultan
eous jurisdiction within the same ter
ritorial limits, each acting, or suppos
ing to act, within it's prescribed Of
proper sphere, the conjoint action tt
produce a single complete, effective
system.
The Hattiesburg news. (Hattiesburg, Miss.) 1908-1917, 1911-05-03
The Dual System.


The Dual System.
The government, when thus estab-
lshed with two branches of sovereign
ty, the one the United States, the 9th
er the separate states, began develop
ment under this new, dual system.
The legislation of the general govern
ment, having general jurisdiction, was
necessarily of uniform application;
but the states, left to work out their
several destinies under their reserved
powers, paid little attention each to
the other, the result being that each
state made it's own laws, many OF
which were different to, or in conflict
WITH the laws of other states. This
diversity is attributable, largely, to the
conditions existing at the beginning Of
| the government. Settlements were
widely separated and the population
sparce. The means of travel and in
tercourse were crude. They had nj
railroads, no steamboats,, no tele
graphs, no telephones. Their INLAND
commerce was limited, and there wal
little occasion for exchange of idea
among, or uniformity of action by, tn,
states.
Onward March of Civilization.
However, the onward march of civ
ilization soon wrought wonderful
changes. Population increased rapid
ly; wildernesses were converted int
fertile fields; highways, postroad'
railways, steamboats,, and the telt
graph united widely separated local
ties; products of the soil, factory an
forest filed the arteries Of trade; tn
| people enjoyed free and easy inte
course; industrial activity grew an
. extended beyond state lines to the r
5 motest bounds of the country; an
business and commerce expanded

BRADsHAw's DECISION
Did Not Rule Against State Liquor
Law But Held That Identity Of De-
PENDANT Had Not Been Shown.

1t appears now that what was sup
posed to be ruling by Judge Brad
shaw which in effect held that the
state law making the possession OF a
federal license to sell liquor prima
facie evidence of selling to be invalid
was not SO in fact.
"The constitutionaltty of the act OF
the Thirty-fourtn general assembly.
making the collectors certificate prima
facie evidence of guilt. was not ques-
toned or at all involved in the decis-
ion," said Judge Bradshaw today. The
state relied upon the identity Of name
in the certificate of collector and in
the indictment as proof that the de-
PENDANT had paid the revenue tax--or
in other words. that the name, +. l..
Madden, being identical in the certifi-
cate and Indictment, was proof that the
person named in each was identical.
The court held that the inference. or
presumption, Of identity of person from
identity Of names. in a criminal case,
must yield to the legal presumption OF
innocence, and that there must be
some evidence that the person named

ment) was the same person.
Boiled down, all that the court held
in this case was that the state must
prove that the person charged In the

identity Of names would not prove 1t.
