The Part That whissey Plays.

AZ the last election West Virginia

liquors In that state. The amend

~ 900 votes Only three counties out
OF fify.five gave majority against
IN. amendment. Tn. vote Was

Of the amendment was no doubt due
to n protest against certain corrupt
conditions connected with the liquor

the state. Saloon licenses were farm.

THE AMERICAN ISSUE
I s
Protecting Home Rule

he liquor luCll dlC tHC SlSdt
mics of home rule in America. 1t is
an aggregation of law-breakers with
whom the people have to contend.
The liquor dealers are for local option
when statewide prohibition is an is
sue but they are against local option
after it has been established under
home rule and they organize to over
throw it.
In the recent legislature the Dem
ocrats, under the force of public opin-
ion, after twenty years, carried out the
mandates of the constitution and gave
to the people of every county the
right to exclude saloons.
The same legislature reported from
the committee bill repeating law
forbiddng transportation of liquor in
to prohibition territory. 1t failed the
moment it was exposed, but it showed
the purpose of the liquor trade to
trample down every restriction upon
the traffic.
At Washington they are now dis
cussins two measures. The distillers
want a more liberal Interpretation of
the tax on liquor and embody their
demands in an Outage bill" Whether
the law is just or not is for congress
to determine The measure in ques-
ton is a tax measure, passed after
most exhaustive investigation and dis
cussion. If there is any injustice in
it, it ought to be remedied
AT the same time there is hearing
in Washington, at which agents of the
liquor trust are represented, upon the
proposition to forbid interstate car
riers to smuggle whisky into prohibi
ton territory.
The traffic is illegal as much SO as
smuggling foreign goods into the port
of New York. The smugglers Of New
York are violating a national law and
the smugglers into Kentucky are vio
lating the state law.
The purpose of congress thus to
regulate the traffic has been sustained
by the supreme court of the United
States The Wilson bill regulates this
traffic, combining it to original pack
ages. This law was resisted and final
ly sustained.
The supreme court of the United
states has recently declared that the
states cannot protect themselves; that
they have no right to say to a corpor
alton, created by the states authority
but engaged in interstate commerce,
that this agent of the state shall not
violate the laws of the state by trans
porting liquor from other states into
dry" territory in this state.
This decision, the liquor men say, is
denial of the right of congress to
regulate the traffic. On the contrary,
it declares that congress alone has
that authority.

GIRL FORGER IS
AGAIN ARRESTED
MILDRED CARTER, FORMERLY OF
FARGO, IS BEING HELD IN MIN
NEAPoLls ON A FORGERY
CHARGE - HAD TROUBLE IN
FARGO some TIME AGO.

Mildred Carter, who forged a check
on Scott-Hall here last fall is in the
same trouble in Minneapolis. She was
arrested yesterday afternoon in the
mill city and she is charged with at
tempting to pass a forged check for
500 on a department store.
She told the authorities that her
parents had died in Fargo, and that
her grandparents of this city sent her
to stay with her uncle, Charles Dublin,
in Minneapolis.
The girl says she met a mar who
gave her the check, the instrument was
made payable to her and signed by
Joseph Hooper. No such name could
be found in either the Minneapolis or
st. Paul directories. Charles Dublin,
the girls uncle, says that she disap-
peared about a week age after telling
him she had secured a position in a
candy factory when she had no posi-
ton there at all. The girl was held to
the grand jury on $500 bail.
Chief of Police Bowers, when seen
this morning said, Mildred Carter, who
is being held in Minneapolis is the
same girl who was in trouble here this
winter
