Qualities Of Heart and Mind

Eve-Up-to-Date in the Times
Democrat: Qualities of heart and
mind so often are trampeled down
these days by criticism, distemper
and disloyaltI in the WEAKNESS OF
mental and physical overstrain that
the hardest of all problems OF fam
lily life is TO maintain serenity, poise
eontentment and happiness in the
home. Riches will not always keep
them within doors, fame and honor
are unsatisfactory to do likewise
and opsition does not incure theil
presence.
One remedy that will help in th'
clearing of the home atmosphere il
| to keep the conversation at meal
bright and impersonal. The hour o
meals frequently means the gather
ling together of the members OF tn
family for the recital of grievance
the things they have failed in, tn
Imam who did mol keep his engage
lment, The woman who acted unkind
lily, the teacher who was cross, an
Iall other subjects that make on
lrise from the table with the though
THAT life is not worth living. II
Istead of these discuss the multitue
linous doings of the great, wild
world until longing springs in tn
heart to share in them. Let it b
lthe solemn duty of every membt
to help along this conversation,
Iprotect inviolate the family atmo
phere, for not until then will me
time be looked upon as the makiT
time Of family happiness.

AN IMPORTANT DECISION
Rendered by the Supreme Court oil
the State of Louisiana, Involving
the Issue OF the Sale by Whole
sale of ini0xicants In Prohibition
Parishes.

From New Orleans has been re-
ported the decision of the Supreme
Court Of Louisiana in case OF john
pomranky and others.
The main issue was, could there
be sold at wholesale intoxicants in
prohibition law parish?
The contention is known as the
Shreveport liquor cases, over which
the Supreme Court was divided and
in the absence of Justice Sommer-
Vile, no decision could be reached.
I'm the absence Of Justice Sommer-
willie. Judge J. G.. Baker of the Grim
inl District Court of New Orleans
was called The case was reset and
argued as in the first instance and
then submitted.
The opinion of the Court, reached
by the majority with Judge Baker
is that the prohibition law has been
violated by the defendants.
The opinion rendered by Justice
1aIlu Is Ill SuI1StdilCt.
"As there can be no lawful retail
ing of intoxicating liquors in a pro-
hibition parish. the local sale by a
wholesaler to Illicit vendors of Ii
guor will be treated as unlawful
sales 10 individuals: State versus
Spence. l27 Louisiana, 1886; reaffirm-
ed"
This is common sense.
IT has been the contention Of the
Caucasian from the beginning OF the
enforcement of the prohibition law
in Shreveport and Caddo Parish
that a wholesaler could not sell al
retail, nor could wholesaler sell
% a dealer for retail when the law
specified directly that the retailing
of liquor or intoxieants is prohibit
led.
In this ease there were complica-
tions which were misleading as in
dieated by the decision of the SUI
Ipreme Court.
The contention of the defendants
was that they had the right to sell
as wholesalers, which was disputed
by Judge Bell, who held that each
bottle was a unit and moi each case
It was on this point That The Su.
preme Court split.
BY this decision of the Supreme
Court. which was made possible by
Judge Baker, Judge Bell opinion ha:
lprevailcd and the judgment of his
court is affirmed.
With this appeal affirmed the in
ldividual convicted of the violation
| OF the prohibition lay must nov
serve their term of sentence as fol
lows:
John Pomranky, three months ant
s350.00 and in default, ninety day
additional.
| John pomranky, $4,000 or thirt,
ldays.
| Ferris Monsour, three months an
s350.0O and in default ninety day
additional.
J. F. Cunningham, three month
land $4,000, and in default ninet,
Idays additional.
/ Emile Bitters, three months an
s350.00, and in default ninety day
additional.
