ALBANY. Sept. 90 O-Governor Sui
zer Is said TO be in serious condition
through illness and his friends are
worried 1t was learned today that
he is on the verge of complete
breakdown, although denials of this
fact have been made. He has not
called in a physician as yet but re-
mains in the executive mansion with
his wife attending him.
After his attorneys have exhausted
every legal techniality in the i'm
peachment trial 1t is said that Sulzer
may appear personally before the
court although IL he does so it will
be contrary to the advice of his coun-
sci who want him TO stand by his for
mer refusal to recognize the court as
legal body. -.
His attorneys held a conference to-
day 1t is understood they forsee the
defeat of the contention that the court
lacks power to try the impeachment
case. and but one other technicality
remains for them, the denial of the
prosecutions claim that an official
can be tried or removed for his alleg-
ed offenses said to have been COM
mitted before he took office His law
yers are hopeful that on this point
they would be upheld by the judges
OF the court OF appeals.

RECORD Of LIQROR

Which Will Be Useful in Run
ming Down Blindpiggers.

One of the interesting laws which

mon carriers and providing penalties

provided that each package of liquor
shipped into dry territory shall contain
the name of the consignee, the name of
the consignor, the name and address of
the person ordering such liquors, the
kind and quality of the intoxicating
liquors and the place from and to which
the liquor is shipped.
The common carrier is required to
keep in a separate book, Immediately
upon receipt of the package, truthful
statements of the amount and kind of
liquor received the name of the person
to whom the same is shipped, the date
when received, the date when delivered,
and by whom delivered and to whom
delivered, after which record shall be a
blank space in which the consignee
shalr be required to sign his true name

linquency in office and may be tried
and upon conviction dismissed.

knowledge, by sneak thief What mat
ters it to a land owner, whether he be
forced to leave his lands at the point of
a gun, or by making his surroundings so
utterly unbearable that he is forced to
movei The same result is reached. He
is dispossessed against his will. The
whole Pacific coast is profoundly inter.
ested in California g action. 1t is con-
fronted with the same situation. The
East is not, yet; but unless California
stands firm and does her duty to herself
and the balance of the country, they
soon will be, for once let the Japs get
a firm foothold on the coast, and it is
only a question of time until the East
will be invaded. California is fighting
gallantly to protect even those who are,
through ignorance, not in sympathy
with her, and the whole Pacific coast,
that is familiar with the situation, is
practically sOlidly behind her. The
sentiment here is based on existing
conditions, while that in the East is
largely influenced by the wishes of
b., I:usiness, wh 81 l. always ,erkns
cheap labor. The Jap appeals to them
for this reason, and they close their
hearts in order that their purses may be
that much wider open to receive the
benefits of cheap labor. Nor are they
wise in this, for they would destroy
their own markets. A well paid, pros.
perous working people furnishes the
basis on which their great fortunes are
built, and in their greed they would de.
stroy their own future to satisfy the
present inordinate, selfish desire. The
California legislature will pass the
bill preventing Orientals owning land
within her borders, and the governor
will sign it. If this is not done, then
indeed will Californians have failed in
their duty and then, and then only,
should the balance of the country point
the finger of scorn at them, and hold
them up to the contempt of every true
American. If the Oregonian s idea of a
strong central government, of states
permitted to do only what that govern
ment consented to and approved, the
situation would become indeed grave;
for it would not be met as it is now at
the start, but would be permitted to
grow until the whole country was af-
fected before any action was taken,
States rights may be a ghost, but it is
certainly one necessary for the protec'
tion of the big family of states-even
against themselves.
