Webb bAnti-LiQuOr Bill Passed


that a special rule would be requir
ed to get the bill before house again
Representative Clayton of Alaba-
ma called the measure up under a
rule permitting the House to con-
slider without reference to a COM
mittee any bill passed by the Sen
ate whichis substantially the same
as one that has been reported by a
House committee.
Speaker Clark overruled the
points of order and the bill was
passed without debate or division.
The following Interpretation of
the Webb act was made by Sena-
tor Kenyon of Iowa, who was the
Joint author Of the measure which
passed the Senate. He was asked
to clear up the point which has
been in doubt as to the right of an
individual living in a dry state to
buy liquor from a wet state and
apply it to his own use. The
Senator said:
The Webb act does not prohibit
a liquor dealer from sending
whiskey into Mississippi for per-
s)nal use. The reason is that
these states, nor any other, have
never prohibited the personal use
OF liquor, And they never will.
T. prohibit such use would be un
constitutional.
If, however, such a prohibition
should be enacted into law and
should say that no man might
have liquor in his house for the
use of his family, and if the law
could be found constitutional, then
the Webb law would bar the ship
ment of liquor in interstate COM
m9rce entering a mans house.
The exact truth about this legis
lation is this: The Webb act
makes the interstate shipment Of
liquor amenable absolutely to the
laws of the separate state, what
ever those laws may be. At pres.
ent there are different laws in diff
erent states regulating the sale and
manufacture of liquor within their
borders. Therefore the Webb act
is general in its application.
The law, if it becomes a law, is
clearly constitutional, too, for the
reason that Congress has an abso-
lutte and defined right to regulate
interstate commerce. IfCongress
chose to declare liquor as con.
traband of commerce, then it
would be so declared, and the su-
preme court would sustain it lust
as the court has sustained Con-
gress when it regulated the ship
ment Of dynamites or any of the
other commodities which are now
subject to the restriction of law.
1t is obvious, therefore, that il
Congress can declare liquor a con-
traband of commerce it can do the
lesser thing and make it merely
subject to the individual laws of
the individual states. Itcan make
such shipments conform to the re
gulations Of the state into which
they are consigned.
1t is patent to any body who
knows any thing about this legis-
lation, however, that the only pur
pose of the bill, is, it prohibits
wholesale violation of the state
laws, under the cloak and protec-
ton of the interstate commerce
character of liquor shipments.
And it is true too, that the con-
signor of shipment of any liquor
shipped into dry territory knows
very well in advance whcather Oh
not he is sending goods to a boot
logger or whether he is sending it
to men who may want it for p9r.
sonal use. 1t is ridiculous to urge
that a shipper does not know who
his customer is and does not know

Scott and His Men

seIlC 10 LONDON, req. 10, futher
particulars in a dispatch from
Christ Church, N. T., of the i'll
fated British Antarctic expedition.
The party under Commander
Scott after leaving Commander
Evans, January 4, 1912, marched
an average Of u miles daily and
reached the pole on January II.
Capt. SCOTS observations by the
theodolite on Janurry IS fixed the
pole within half a mile of Amund-
sens observations.
The Scott party followed An
undsen's track and found his
camp within three miles ofpole.
Several photographs Of Scott
and his companions at the pole
were obtained.
From the time OF reaching tie
pole, Petty Officer Evans cond;-
ton gave great anxiety, but good
progress was made on the return
journey over the great plateau in
medium weather. Before descend
ing the Beardmore Glacier, DR..
Wilson and Lieut.. Bowers collect
ed a number of fossils on Buckley
Island.
The descent OF BeardmOre GIa-
cier was accomplished in thick
weather and deep snow greatly de
layed the march. Petty Officer
Evans fell on the rough ice and
sustained concussion Of the brain
His condition caused a further de-
lay and the surplus food was con
sumed. On February II Evans
collapsed and was placed on a sled
He died a few hours afterwards.
The bad ice surface and the i'll
ness of Captain Oates still luther
hampered the progress and weak
ened the energies Of the party.
Some times they made only three
miles in day. Then came biz
yards and headwinds which com
pleted the disaster.
A serching party under Dr.. At
kinson found their tent, on No.
vember 10, half covered by snow.
The bodies were identified. A tent
was placed over them and large
cairn of snow erected. A cross
with brief record was placed on
the top and this was signed by all
the members of the searching
party.
DR.. Atkinson is authority for
saying that none of the symptoms
of scurvy were present on the
bodies.
The searching party employed
seven mules which hauled heavier
weights and proved generally more
effective than ponies.
A dispatch to the Daily Mail
from Christ Church, N. H., says
that full details of SCOTS return
journey will reveal a still more
glorious page of history than the
brief official narrative.
1t is stated" says the Daily
Mail, that Evans assisted his
comrades to the Pole until his
death and that every ounceollood
was exhausted long before death
came to Scoott's party. Only "a
small quantity of tea was found
with the bodies, which were dis
covered in the following rositions:
Scott sitting with MS back to
the tent pole. Between his head
and the tent pole he hadplaced his
diary as support to his head. DR..
wilson and Lieutenant Bowers
were lying in their sleeping bags.
Possibly an expedition will be
sent for the bodies next summer.
A memorial cross to Scott, wilson
and Bowers was erected on Obser-
vation Hill. 1t was constructed
of iarrah wood and will last ages.
