ARKANSAS ACT IS
UNCONSTITUTIONAL
U. S. SUPREME COURT SAYS
STATE CANNOT TAX SOME
PEDDlERS.

Gaze Ordered Reversed With Costs

1909 Assembly.

Washington.-That the peddling act
passed by the Arkansas legislature in
1863, tc regulate the sale of buggies,
Stoves, sewing machines, etc, within
the state, is unconstitutional, was held
by the United States supreme court
in the case of Grenshay Gannaway and
ether plaintiffs in error, against the
state of Arkansas. The court ordered
the case reversed with costs and re-
handed.
In handing down its decision the SUI
preme court held that where the ar
ticles dealt in came from outside the
state, it was an interstate shipment
over which the state of Arkansas had
no control, although this state could
regulate the interstate shipment of ar
ticles sold without first obtaining Ii
cense from the state.
The court held that the practice Of
agents taking orders in the various
counties of Arkansas, for buggies or
other articles manufactured outside
the state and shipped into the state.
was a transaction that should not be
regulated by the state by the imposi-
ton of a tax or otherwise.

wander in the fields to hear the birds

and wonder at the shells and sea

among the rocks when the tide was
low. And, best of all. in glorious
storms to watch the waves laundering
on the black headlands and craggy
ruins of the old Dunbar castle when
the sea and the sky, the waves and
the clouds, were mingled together as
one. After l was five or six years old
I ran away to the seashore or the
fields almost every Saturday, and ev-

Sundays. though solemnly warned

influence Of the Spirit.

You may talk about education, and
science, and philosophy, and skill. and
knowledge generally, but they all lack
their full truth unless they are super
vised by the spirit. by the faith, by the
aspiration. The beginning Of all things
was the spirit. and the end of all
things will be the spirit, and the mat
ter between loses its high significance
and its relation to either II it becomes
simply a hard, earthly fact. All prog
ress, social or individual, depends
upon the recognition Of the divine in
every fact and deed. 1t wouldn't take
ten years to bring a millennium If this
doctrine was practiced. We are now
confronting great social and political
problems; their solution would be
easy II faith, love, justice, honor and
the other forms Of spiritual force were
given full! play. But they are not. The
opposite seems to have the right Of
way. Every man who has any hope
of lettering his fellows will have to
