SOME time ago a St. Louis brewing
company shipped a car load of beer to
Corunna, Kaus. On.its arrival it was
seized by state officers, who confscated
it under the Webb-Keynon law. The
brewing company entered suit, claim
ing damages in reimbursement for the
stated value of the confscated liquor.
The case went up to the State Supreme
Court, which has handed down ruling
sustaining in every point the control of
the state authorities over all liquor
shipped into Kansas. The court said;
"We believe that the liquor traffic can
be made subject to the same regulations
as obscene literature and white slav-
cry" which is putting the business
where it belongs.
