Reunion.

viii Make Principal Address at To-
morrow's Exerclses-Thomas
Murphy Extends Welcome. ~.

Coal valley, Aug. 21.-ScoreS ana
scores of former residents are flock
ing to the Coal Valley Home Coming
which opened this morning and will
continue through Saturday. From dis
tant states and cities they are coming
to attend the annual reunion of the
early settlers of this locality. Plans
have been made to show the guests
from away an excellent time and from
the success attained this morning, it Is
safe to say the committees in charge
have more than succeeded in their eff
forts.

hill here where a pavilion has been g.
ranged. 1t has been nicely decorated
with bunting and flags and nothing
that can add to the pleasure and COM
fort of the visitors hfS been overlook
ed. Rev. r. S. Haney of Moline is
presiding as master of ceremonies.
The program opened at 1890 with Sc
lectionS by the Moline Crescent band.
The address of welcome was given by
Thomas ]. Murphy, one of the old
timers, who said that Coal Valley still
extends the hospitality of the old days
which made it famous, and that
through the years the same spirit Of
cordially and friendlineSs which the
pioneers knew still remains. He re-
counted some of the early reminis-
cences and bits of history of the COM
munity, telling especially about the
first schoOlhouse and how glad he
was, as boy, when it was burned
down, because it meant an enforced
vaction of several days.
The response was given by J. b.
Phillips of Davenport, former Coal
Valley resident, who said that it
seemed good to be back home" The
audience then sang Illinois, closing
the morning exercises.

LIQuoR FOR Personal j, USE.
Supreme Court Defines Webb Act.
Rights Of tho state.
(The State, 15th.)

That there Is no statute by the
State of South Carolina prohibiting
the importation of whiskey from an
other State, for personal use, and
that the Webb act gives the State the
right to enact such a statute, IL 1t
SO desires, is the decision OF the Su-
preme Court In deciding a case test
ing the constitutionality Of the
Webb act passed by Congress, with
drawing the protection OF Interstate
commerce from whiskey shipments
from one State to another The Su-
preme Court held that the old dis
pensary act forbidding the ordering
OF whiskey for personal use from
other States, having been declared
unconstitutional, before the passage
of the Webb act, could not be vital
lied by the passage Of the Webb
act.
Intention of the Act.
1T is not the intention Of the
Webb act to interfere with the policy
of the State In regard to the impor-
tation of liquor, but merely to pro-
vide that the enforcement of a State
statute would not be interfered with
or hampered by the Interstate COM
merce laws" says the decision.
I'm other words the act in this
respect is passive" continues the de-
cision, while it is incumbent on the
State to enact legislation of an ac-
tive nature If they are desirous of
prohibiting the importation Of Ii
quors for personal use or other pur-
poses. But even if Congress had
undertaken to give validity to an un-
40 70 tot IA
have been beyond it's powers.
Power of Legislature.
While tho Legislature cannot
pass an act validating the provisions
of the dispensary statute which we
have declared to be'unconstitutional
so as to give 1t retroactive effect.
1T, nevertheless, has the power to
adopt a statute, with similar provis-
ions having prospective effect, pro-
hibiting alcoholic liquors from being
imported into this State.
Such q statute would not contra
vene any provision Of tho United
States constitution AS we have al
ready said, ~the recent act of Con-
gress tlivests intoxicating liquors OF
their Interstate commerce character
and invests the respective States with
power either to prohibit the impor-
tation absolutely or allow it only for
sale and use through dispensary.
The classification of the counties, so
as to allow the sale of liquor in some
of them while it is not prohibited in
Others, would not be violative of Sec
tion l of the Fourteenth Amendment
to the Constitution of the United
States, which provides that no State
shall deny to any person within it's
jurisdiction the full protection of the
laws f"

HOLDS JOHNSON TO PROMISE.
Wyatt Aiken Protests Against Col
league from Kentucky.

Washington, May 14-Something
of sensa ion in Congressional cir
cles has been caused by the fling of
protest by Representative Wyatt
Aiken, Of South Carolina, against the
selection of Representative Ben john
son, Of Kentucky, to succeed him
self as chairman of Committee on
the District of Columbia.
The protest has been lodged with
the Ways and Means Committee and
is accompanied by documents which
are said to show that when Mr.. john
son was originally made chairman Of
this committee he received the posi-
ton by reason OF the fact that Mr..
Aiken, who was ranking member,
stood aside at Johnson's request. The
South Carolinian claims that the
Kentuckian asked the favor on the
ground that it would help him In his
candidacy for the Goverlorsbip OF
llis state, and promised TO stem down
from the, enaiTlnanslHp the !Is,sl time
Iand let Aiken have It,
lt is understood that Rep. aseuta-
tive Johnson de- les having had any
such understanding with Mr.. Aiken,
but the latter backs up his assertion
with letter, signed by Chairman
Underwood and ten other Democratic
members of the Ways and Means
Committee, declaring that unless the
South Carolinian had voluntarily
stood aside in 1911 he would have
been made chairman OF the District
Committee.
Among those who have sent Mr..
Aiken letters to the same effect is
former Representative Brantley, of
Georgia, who was a member OF the
Ways and Means Committee previous
to his retirement from Congress last
March.
Representative Johnson now in
sists upon remaining at the head of
the District Committee and probably
will do so. He is also a. candidate
for the chairnIanship of the Demo-
cratic Congressional Campaign Com
mittee, for which position Represen-
tative Finley, Of South Carolina, is
directly in line, but which Mr.. Finley
is not seeking. 1t has been freely
predicted that the Kentuckian will
get the Congressional Committee

that President Wilson would prefer
