Case Wrongly Rep5rtsj.
Washington, d. c.. March To-
Senator Luke Lea has declared
snequivocally in favor of the
Kenyon Shepard bill, which pro-
poses b preveat the shipment of
liquor into dry states from any
point outside their borders. The
senator yesterday assured Mrs.
Lillian ". Stevens. national pres
ident OF the W. c. r. L., and
Mrs. Margaret Dye Ellis, nation
al organizer. and Mrs. Anna
Gordon. national vice-president
who called on him. that he favor
ed the measure and would give il
his earnest support.
Senator Lea is Of the opinion
that the recent decision Of the
supreme court OF the United
States, speaking through Mr..
Justice Lu.ton, in the case OF the
Louisville & Nashville Railroad
company Us the F. NJ. Cook
Brewing company, in no way
conflicts with the proposed Ken
yoa-Shepard bill.
In speaking OF this much dis
cussed decision Senator Lea said:
THE decision of the supreme
court in the Cook Brewing COM
panY case coming up from KEN
lucky has been eTruneorsly re-
ported in many Of the papers OF
the country as holding hat con-
gress could pass no law prohibit
ing the shipment of liquor into
dry territory. In point OF fact,
such was not decided. It was
merely held that 4 state statute
prohibiting the shipment OF liquor
into dry territory was not valid
where the shipment was from
outside the state, and that such a
statute was an Illegal regulation
Ok interstate commerce and af-
forded no excuse for refusal to
perform the general duty of the
railroad company as a common
carrier Of freight
This decision announced nc
new principle and does not even
intimate that . Law passed by
congress prohibiting shipments oil
liquor into dry territory would be
unconstitutional. It has been
held BY u long line OF cases be-
ginning with the case of Lefty VS..
Hardin that liquor was an article
OF commerce, the interstate trans
portation Of which could no. be
iaterfered with by q state statute,
and that the Interstate Transport
tation was not concluded unit

GRABZ9 SCHGGL QUESTION
tfhlA.
LEI Us Reason TogeAe-.


] note with regrc, the present
agitation over school matters in
Oxford. I was not aware until
the agitation begun that there
was any dissatisfaction with the
present n anarere nt Of the school
| can say that "a far as lam con-
cerned, there is none and has
not been.
Now as to the real cause for the
agitation, | do not know, Is I
have not looked closely into the
matter and do not kaow all the
facts; whatever The real grounds
for the agitation may be, it H.
clearly 10 be seen tia. a factional
spirit is being eHgendsred, which
is always bad for any community,
and especially when it has to %
with one Of the most vital inter-
csts Of the community. The
school question is always n vital
one, and should always be guard
ed with jealous care by every
lover Of education, and every one
interested in the welfare OF the.
youth Of our country, and we
should be slow to Go any thing
that would divide the people.
Certainly, personal, political or
financial considerations should
not control US in matters OF this
kind.
Oxford has, in my judgment,
one of the best, IL not the very
best schools Of the kind any where
in the whole country. and | am
acquainted with several such
schools. After reading the artic-
les OF Prof. Balthrop some time
ago. with reference TO certain
needed additional departments 70
the school, such as Music and
Book keeping, and expecting to
see in the near future the mater
ializing Of those ideas, | had be-
gun to hope for and expect to see
soon a school unsurpassed by any
similar school, a school Of which
every patron would justly be
proud; not that some one else is
not just as capable of bringing
the school up to just as high a
degree Of efficiency as he, but he
was the first 10 take the lead in
this advanced movement for tho
-reater efficiency Of the school.
l. seems unfortunate that the
present agitation should have
come up just AZ this time, unless
an adequate reason can be given,
If mora. uultness or incompe-
tsncy, 1as aot Re assigned, tier
Why should any change De made
az This time? For the sake OF
peace and the welfare OF the
school, it seems 70 me that the
matter should rest where it is.
Is this not good reasoning? 4
so then let Us reason together.
There can be no such contes.

We have had diversification
preached to US all the days Of our
lives and il is gratifying to note
that 4 great many farmers do not
depend entirely upon cotton as
their money crop. Yet there are
entirely too many acres Of our
land planted in cotton, and n ma
jurity Of farmers make little or no
effort toward making their acres
produce more cotton per acre. /
fave often hoard mel say that
the lower the price Of cotton the
more We have to plant. This il a
mistaken idea, for the cheaper
cotton gets the more food crop we
shou!dsplant in order thatwe may
live more ut home and not have

and put these extra acreage in

and then put the other 50 per

than we eve did, as | have said.
and | am satisfied that We can

GIROTX AGAIN MAKING
RATHER GOOD SHOWING.

One of the Boston officials of the
Giroux of Ely says according to the
Salt Lake Herald:
Just when We reached maximum
production of concentrating ore IN
der our contract with the Steptoe
Valley Smelling & Mining company
on October 2 the Western Fedora
ton of Miners called a strike in the
Ely mining camp in sympathy with
that called at Bingham by the same
organization, and while our com
pany was not directly concerned yet
We suffered with the Steptoe COM
pany on account of being in the same
district. our men going out with
theirs. There has been no real dam
age TO the property. but resumption
of operations in full will be delayed
because many of the men not in sym
pathy with the strike stopped work
and left the district.
I'VE we're ready to begin work in
the Alpha territory when We reached
the maximum daily production. but
ii will be necessary now TO direct our
full attention TO mining co~ncentrat-
ing ore until We can get the force up
to normal basis.
I'm regard TO the Alpha ore body
a glance at the last annual report
will show ~conclusiyely that the com
pany has in this ore body a treasure
of enormous extent, but the develop
ment work has been done so that il is
impossible TO give an estimate of ton
mage.
In drifting on the 1200-foot
level the mineralized zone vas found
to be more than 400 feet wide, and
the same ore and general conditions
we're found on the 1000-foot level.
The ore disclosed by drifting and re-
timbering on the 1O00-foot level
showed larger on the floor than at
the top of the drifts. from which IT
appears that this level is nearly at
the top of the ore bodies. At the same
time the chances are favorable for an
upward extension of some OF the ore
to at least the 770-foot level"

TIL OUTLOOK BRIGHT.

The Boston Financial News, writ
ing of the business outlook, predicts
that President Wilson on assuming
the Office, will o permit of any
half baked" legislation detrimental
to the prosperity of the country. OF
the European war situation, the News
says:
The after effect of a war in Eu-
rope would probably help for this
country by creating an enormous de-
mand for steel, copper and other
commodities, but the first effect
would be financial and adverse.
Aside from the unsettlement caused
by the war abroad there is nothing to
interfere with the steady progress of
business toward greater expansion
and the war situation is obviously
temporary at the worst, as there is
no possibility that We can be drawn
into it. The banks are still feeling
the crop-moving demands a. the
south needs more money for cotton
and the west is not yet in shape to
return the currency shipped there
during the past six weeks. IL is clear,
however, that the country as a whole
is in splendid financial condition. for
we have moved enormous crops and
financed active business without the
importation of a large amount of
gold and without calling on the gov
eminent for aid, and it should be re-
memhered that the latter source of
help is still ahead of us to meet any
contingency that may arise. Alto
gether the outlook seems as bright
as it has been at any time.

to be made in the tariff schedule
could be known at the earliest mo-
