ito statehood under sections 239-240 OF
1.-THE federal penal code, packages con
ltaining intoxicating liquors rendered
for shipment interstate must show. the
cnaracter and quantity of the contents.
This would certainly make prohibition
defective in what was formerly Indian
Territory.
The United States Express company
had uniformly refused to accept intox-
icating liquors consigned to the limits
lof an Indian reservation or within
what is known as Indian country. In
this particular case the express com
Ipany announced that it simply wanted
to ascertain the law, for the purpose of
complying with it, 1t. expressed a will
lingness to abide by the Judgment Of
the court. The action of the circuit
court of appeals in ordering the pro-
ceeding dismissed will afford an op-
Iportunity to Friedman and company
III they desire, to do so to have the ac-
tion fthe circuit court of appeals re-
viewed by the supreme court Of the
United States.
when this case was presented to
Judge Rogers, Fred Caldwell, enforce
ment attorney, was invited by the ex-
press company to appear and present
the states contentious, When the case
was presented to the circuit court of
appeads, the attorney general was in
yited to file brief in the cause pre-
,senting the states contentious.
The attorney general, while in sym
pathy with the express company, did
mot do so as he was of the opinion that
because of the condition of the record
the express company could not expect
to sustain its contention. It is need
less to say that if this opinion stands
that 1t will work a revolution in the
conditions existing in what was for
merly the Indian territory. The opin-
ion bases the right of the government
to continue the act of 1897 in force as
to the Indian territory upon its para
mount authority to protect the Indian
against the use of intoxicating liquors,
whether such Indian may or may not
reside within the boundary OF any
state.
Il also is pointed out that there also
lis provision that the state capital
shall not be removed from Guthrie
until 1918. and that this has been set
aside. Able attorneys have expressed
the opinion. however. that while the
supreme court waived jurisdiction on
the capital question, it might not do
so on the liquor proposition. as it di-
|rectly affects the Indians, and the fed
eral government still feels a RESPONSE
|bility toward the tribes, and the aid of
the government in keeping whiskey
away from the Indians has been pledg-
ed.

Farmers "Friends"
Sleeping.

The farmers free list bill is
blockaded in the United States
Senate. Unless strong pressure
is brought to bear there is dan
ger that the bill will die in com
mittec.
Yet the interests that are sup
plying money to fight reciproc-
ity. which interests are working
overtime proclaiming their
friendship for the farmers and
asserting they oppose reciproc-
ity solely because they feel for
the farmers, have not as yet
raised their voice against the
blockade of the free list bill.
Query: If the interests fight
ing reciprocity are really and
in fact such great friends of the
farmers, why are they indiifer-
ent over the fate of bill which
will untax nearly everything
the farmers use?

Retaining Swamp Lands

United States Senator John
Walter Smith. as a member of
the L. 5. Commission for the re-
clamation of swamp lands, is III
position To secure for this sec
ton, if it is possible to be done,
the retaining by drainage Of
the swamp lands along the Po-
comoke River. In recent
statement issued by the Gov
eminent showing the number
of acres of such swamp lands,
il was shown that Dorchester
had the largest acreage, and
Worcester the next largest. our
people may be sure that Sena-
tor Smith will do all in his power
to help them in the matter. He
will not have to be urged to do
what he can, as he is thorough
ly conversant with the matter
and knows what can be done
and what ought to be done, not
only liz Worcester County but
in every county on the Shore.

More Candidates For
Governor.

Last week the Messenger had
something to say anent the Gu
bernatorial primary campaign.
Since then several gentlemen
have come to the front with
booms, among the number be-
ing Senator German of Howard
County, son of the late Senator
German. He is a young man
of ability, good horse sense, and
is a thorough Democrat.
Senator Blair Lee is also an
aspirant. Senator Lee is the
favorite son of Montgomery
County, is the author of the
present primary election law.
and is a man who has many
friends and admirers through
out the State.
Governor Crothers is also be-
ing talked of for denomination
although he has not indicated
his willingness to again be the
standard bearer of his party. In
fact, it was reported many
months ago that Governor
Crothers had declared that he
would not be a candidate; that
he was satisfied with the hon
ors already conferred upon him.
The fight this year will be
unique in the annals of the
history of the State because it
will be the first time since Mary
land was State that the Gov
ernor will be nominated in a di-
rect primary election with the
whole State indicating by their
ballots the man they wish to be
the standard bearer of their
respective party in the general
election.
Until now the candidates for
Governor on both the Demo-
cratic and Republican side have
been nominated by convention
and have made their fight upon
a platform outlined at the State
meeting. This year it will be
entirely different.
Each aspirant for gubernator-
ial honors on each side must
file his papers and enter pri-
mary. The candidate who gets
the highest number of votes in
each County will have the
votes of the delegation from that
County at the State convention
and these delegates are com
PEELED to cast their for him.
1t is a legalized convention in
sense.
This law was passed at the
last session of the Legislature
and was the pet measure of
State Senator Blair Lee, who
has been the chief exponent Of
the idea for a number of years.
