Special to Times-Republican.
Des Moines, Aug. 5.-The existence
Of the Webb Kenyon law and its ap-
plication in Iowa calls Cor some addi-
tional legislation at the next session;
and this may be the liquor issue in the
general assembly rather than some OF
the more spectacular phases Of the
question.
The way the matter has been left It
is legal to ship liquor into Iowa to a
permit holder to one who has complied
with the mulct law, and to any one for
his own personal use.
But there are other classes. For in
stance, it is entirely legal il, Iowa for
q druggist to dispense with medicines
a reasonable quantity Of intoxicating
liquor. 1t is legal for doctor to make
use OF intoxicants in his practice. 1t is
legal to use wine in the church sacra-
ment. But liquors can not be shipped
in Iowa for any Of these purposes, and
there can be no interstate shipment
for any Of these purposes.
The reason that it Is legal to ship
for personal use across a state line
and not in the state is because the
reference to personal use Is in the
Webb Kenyon law and Judge Willard
of the federal court at st. Paul held
that carriers must accept shipments
into Iowa for personal use.
personal Use" Phase.
The personal use" phase Of the
question is causing a great deal of
bother. When the Iowa supreme court
decided the cases from Ottumwa and
reversed Judge Hunter, holding the
federal law to be constitutional, the
higher court did not pass on the per-
sonal use phase, because that had been
eliminated. 1t was in the case Of OF
tumwa but the way the whole thing
developed it could not get before the
supreme court. 1t is up to Judge Hunt
er. in entering the decree, to decide
whether the personal use question has
been touched at all.
The attorneys for the manufacturers
want decree on the personal use
phase, as preliminary to the appeal
of the Iowa cases to the United States
supreme court. The legal department
Of the state does not desire to have
that question foreclosed, but is not dis
posed to question the correctness Of the
courts position that shipments for
personal use are permissible under the
law.
But a short bill amending the Iowa
law to make it specific as to personal
use would dispose of the whole con-
troversy.

opinion of men who are connected with

event 1t is claimed that the trouble on
the continent will interfere seriously
with the success of the San Francisco
exposition.
The exposition will not. in reality. be
world wide proposition. If the war
continues. The European countries will
not be able to send over exhibits that
already are being completed. The at
tendance from the continent also will
be cut down. Even if peace is estab-
lished before the exposition is we'll
under way, the Californians will be
handicapped and will have to rely to Il
great extent on the Orient Australia,
South America and the United States
for support.
THE European trouble surely will
handicap the San Francisco exposi-
tion," said Ralph Bolton. member OF
the greater Iowa committee in charge
CT the plans for the Iowa exhibit at the
exposition. IF war continues there will
be no exhibits from European countries.
The attendance from the continent will
be eliminated. The exposition will get
support only from oriental countries.
South America, Australia and the
United States.
Il think the war will he over by the
time the exposition OPENS, however. If
it becomes a general conflict the
European countries will be unable to
finance 1t very long. They simply won't
be able to get the money. In any event,
however. the situation OF. the continent
will work to the detriment of the expo
sition."
