declare the United States Express
Company a common nuisance so far as
It undertook TO deliver Intoxicating
liquors. d
This brings us to the question OF
how far one may get liquors for an
other and il viii be well for all p
observe the provisions OF the law re-.
specting this proposition. In the first
place, IL one acts as the agent OF the
seller. he is guilty Of selling. II one
acts as agent for the purchassr, ne Is
guilty of selling. In other woros, ~: u
one has occasion 10, go to some point
out of the state, and "a. friend hands
him a dollar and requests that be pur-
chase for him a pint OF good Wbiskey'
and he does It, and delivers u TO NM
he is guilty of. making the sale. ana
by the act is guilty OF making It, no.
whore he purchased IL, but where ne
delivered it in the state. Again, the
representatiyes Of those who sell
iia,,r,rss cannot come into the state to
solicit verbally. by letter. circular or
otherwise. There IS only one or two
WAYS that a citizen CT this state may
bring liquors into II; he may upon MS
own initiative order it, and have
sent to himself, by common carrier,
for his personal use and not tor any
Illegal purpose, or he may go and set
It. But in either event ne cannon
bring II here for unlawful purposes
II he orders st shipped byecommon
carrier, a record Is made. open to IN
spection; If he goes after 1t and brings
It with him, intending to use for IN
lawful purposes, he may be arrested
and the liquor seized, so soon as ne
comes into the safe. Let II. pc re-
peated, If he sends the other. fellow
for it. then the other fellow is guilty
OF selling. In this connection any,
scheme, device, shift or plan to eyade
tine law, such as saying IL Is given
away, when IN fact 1t IS not, Is vto-
lation of tao law.
