IS HELD TO ANSWER ON
STATUTORY CHARGE

A preliminary hearing on a statu-
tory charge against Jack Williams.
was heard before Judge Parker yes
terday, defendant being held to an
swer to the superior court.
The evidence in the case went to
show that the offenses complained of
were committed prior to the 10th
ulto. The girl in the case, who is
sixteen years Of age has been living
with her mother and young brother
and a sister in small shack in an
alley west of Second avenue. The
mother had little control over the
child, with the result that the girl
was under lax charge.
Defendant met the child at the
skating rink, and began taking her
out in rigs and automobiles fire.

ABSENCE OF "cHoPP0'
Mascot Of Company Is Strangely

This is a story about a dog.
"Choppo" is his name, which being
interpreted means shorty" Chop
pc is, or was, the property and boon
companion of Sergeant Frank Smith.
OF Company b, National Guard OF
Arizona He was also the mascot
of the company, having been in at
tendance at the last two state en-.
campments of the guard.
A few days ago the Phoenix and
Northern Arizona companies returned
from the annual encampment and
Choppo came with them. He was
aboard the train when it rolled into
Phoenix The companies from Phoe-
nix formed at the depot and marched
up town. Choppo has not been seen
by Sergeant Smith since he fell into
line here with his company He be-
lieves that some of the boys of the
northern companies coaXed the dog
back into the train and took him on
with them.
Now Smith is wearing mourning.
He thinks more of Choppo than some
men think of their own brother. He

A LEGAL OPINION

A legal opinion is valuable only
when it is based upon the law. An
opinion not likely to be sustained in
court is not worth the paper on which
| 1t IS written.
The Royal Arch, an organization of
saloon keepers with more money than
they really need, have been buying
worthless opinions from various law
yers, all with the purpose of defeating
the prohibition amendment. Here, for
the first time, is presented legal
opinion of real value. We unhesitat-
ingly endorse it as based on the high
est law. the supreme court of the Unit
ed States, and no lawyer is likely to
controvert it's conclusions.
Judge A. c. Baker former judge of
the supreme court of Arizona, and one
Of the leaders of the state bar, now of
the firm of Baker & Baker, in the
Fleming building, Phoenix, after thor
ough research and logical procedure,
has given out the following signed
opinion:
viii the adoption of the proposed
forbidding the sale, etc, of ardent
spirits, ale, beer. wine or intoxicating
liquors interfere with or affect the use
of wine at the Holy Eucharist or Holy
Communion? l shall consider the
question in its legal aspect only.
1T is to be frankly conceded that
the use of wine in the celebration of
the Holy Eucharist or Holy Com
munion will fall within the general
terms or dry letter of the amendment.
The use of wine. however, for such
purposes is not within the spirit or in
tention of the proposed measure, and
therefore does not fall under it's ban.
1t is a familiar rule that thing may
be within the letter of the law and yet
not within the law, because not within
the spirit nor within the intention of
the makers.
Now it must be conceded that the
evil sought to be remedied by the
amendment is the sale or traffic in ar
dent spirits, ale, beer, wine and all in
toxicating liquors. The motive and
history of the prohibition movement
from the beginning to the end makes.
this fact common knowledge. The
purpose and object of the promoters
and those in sympathy is to put the
saloon, drug store or other place en-
rgaged in the sale or traffic of these
articles out of business Surely it is
but the exercise of common sense to
confine or limit the general words in
the proposed amendment to this OBJ
jecr and purpose. Bearing in mind the
object and purpose Of the amendment,
is it not wholly unreasonable to extend
the general terms or words Of the
amendment to thing standing outside
of the evil, nay, more. standing in di-
| rect opposition to the evil sought to be
remedied? To do SO is to convert the
proposed law into vicious attack up
| on religion. ! am safe in saying that
! no court in Christendom will accept
such a construction of the amendment.
1T Is a case where there is present
definite and certain evil, in view of
| which the amendment uses general
| terms with the purpose of reaching all
Arizona republican., 1914-08-29

phases of that evil but with no pur-
pose or intent of legislating against re-
ligion, and to extend the general word
ing to such purpose or intent is alb
surd and ridiculous.
This is a religious people. and no
purpose or intent can be imputed to
the trainers or makers of this amend
ment TO strike blow at religion or at
any of it's rites or ceremonies. Such
an imputation is wholly unjustified.
Laws must receive sensible construc-
ton The reason of a law prevails over
the letter, and the intention of the law
maker is the law. General terms are
to DE SO limited in their application as
not to lead to absurd consequences.
Common sense will struggle with all
it's vigor and power against such an
Interpretation of the law as leads to
foolish and absurd results or conse-
uuences. Suppose the amendment
should in express words make any
priest or pastor guilty who used wine
in celebrating the Holy Eucharist or
Holy Communion; can it be conceived
that such proposed law would re-
ceive a moments notice or a single
vote? Can it reasonably be commended
that such is the effect of this amend
ment? Certainly not. There is no
better way of discovering the true
meaning of law couched in general
terms than by considering the neces-
sity for the law and the causes which
induced its enactment, and surely no
one in the whole state of Arizona is
ready to put himself upon record as
declaring that the administration of
wine at Holy Eucharist or Holy Conf
munion was or is the necessity or
cause for the adoption of the proposed
amendment. There is not the remotest
danger of any court in this state hold
ing that the amendment. if adopted.
will interfere with or affect the use OF
wine at Holy Eucharist or Holy Com
munion. A. c. BAKER.
