Evil Of Free Passes.

How can aman realize this character
who submits TO the tacit corruption and
quasi indignity of free ride over a
railroad. which gives ii in order that 1t

theater. which is meant TO secure an un-
faithful complimentary notice of the per-
Torrance next morning; free transit
through the mails. which IS obtained by
a collision with local politicians and
courthouse rings. which are too often
interested in newspaper publications!
The dead-be system and the dead
head system are things Of the past. They
will never trouble us more. The news

subsisting on the law of supply and de-
mand. that its representatives have ceas-

Special Correspondence OF The star
Va, September -, 1911.
\ decision allowing the Arlington Brew
n.. COMPANY of Rosslyn. Alexandria coun
IL. to deliver it's product in this city by
other than common carrier was given to-
dav by Police Justice II. b. Cation.
commonwealth Attorney Brent has
noted an appeal.
This case was heard July II. and after
arguments the court took the matter IN
der advisement.
In his decision Justice Cation recites
that the warrant was sworn out under
what is generally known as the Byrd
liquor law.
Ii is further set forth that the concern
manufactures its products IN Alexandria
county. a no-license territory, and sends
bottled liquors in the companys wagons
here and sells to retailers.
The only question is whether the con-
Germ has violated the law in using other
than a common carrier.
The law says:
For tie privilege of manufacturing
malt liquors there shall be paid 500, ana
upon payment Of such SPECIFIC sum the
manufacturers shall have the privilege or
selling the products OF his brewing IN
quantities in two dozen pints on more
at any place within the state oil virginia
except where such mandatory IS STU
ated in any local option OF no license te.-
rtory: in which case no sale shall be
made and delivery had at the place OF
manufacture; but such manufactures NAV
sell the products of his brewing TO De
delivered 10 common carrier TO be
transferred to any place beyond TIE Inn
