CANNOT PROHIBIT
LIQUOR SHIPMENT

Little Rock, Jan. 23.-In the opin-
ion of Attorney General Moose it is
not within the power of municipality
to prevent the shipment of liquor into
a town. He has written Mayor O.
0, Womble of Womble as follows:
II do not think your town council
or the county judge in behalf of the
county, or the circuit judge in be-
half of the district, would have the
right to prevent express and rail
road companies from delivering in
toxicating liquors in your town, or
county, or district Municipal corpo-
rations have no legislative powers ex-
cept those conferred upon them by
the constitutions and laws of the state.
The legislature has not seen fit to
confer such power on municipalities" +"
He holds however, that Sunday de-
livery of intoxicants can be prohibited
as violation of the act against Sab
bath breaking.

The Conway Civic League will meet
in the Epworth League room of the
Methodist church tonight at 1880
o'clock for the purpose of hearing the
report of the advisory committee ap-
pointed Tuesday night to make rec
concentrations as to municipal officers

coming Democratic city primary cleo

shall be referred to the league for
further confirmation, and such as

The committee has held two meet

that it will submit a final report at

understood that a definite decision
has not yet been reached and it is
probable that the report will be only
of general nature, without recon-

Little Rock, Jan. 23.-Judge Joe
Asher Thursday afternoon heard the
arguments in the Argenta liquor peti-
ton and adjourned court. saying he
would go over all figures submitted
to him, and render his decision as
soon as he could investigate several
matters which had been brought to
his notice.
The day was largely taken up with
testimony, the liquor people introduc-
ing many witnesses to refute the
claim of the prohibitionists that no
such persons existed The afternoon
was taken with the arguments of
Judge Fred Isgrig for the antis, and
Col. Joseph M. House for the liquor
men. Judge Isgrig ridiculed the tes
timony offered by the petitioners, and
the character of witnesses. Col.
House rebuked the opposing counsel
for making assertions which could not
be proven.
1t is expected that the decision will
be rendered Friday, and it would be
great surprise if it should be against
the petitioners.
With the Argenta case out of the
way, the county court will begin Mon
day to hear motions, evidence and ar
Guments in the Little Rock petition.

COMPARISON.
The German and English Code
Of Morals.

In rnls war Germany, quite different
from England, France, Russia and Ja-
pan, has in all and everything strictly
observed the law of nations. When the
enemies were in Alsace and in Eastern
Prussia on German soil, the German CT
villains did not join in the fighting be-
cause they had been strongly warned by
the German government not to do so.
On the other side we have seen in Bel
gium and in France old men and women
and children act like savages against
wounded soldiers, against surgeons and
against nurses. The Belgian and the
French governments had organized the
taking part by. the civilian population.
!. In the English newspapers this attitude
of the civilians, which is inexcusable
from the standpoint of the law Of ma
tons and from any humane standpoint,
has recently been approved and lauded.
These English papers invite the Eng
1ish old men and women and children
to do the same if any German troops
should ever land in England.
The English and the French in con-
! prevention of the law of nations, have
used so-called dum-dum bullets, which

OF nations. The law of nations. espe-
cially of civilized warfare, rests on rnu-
tual consent. Just as in civil war a

other party as soon as one of the two
parties to the contract breaks the con-
tract just SO it would be unreasonable
to expect one of the belligerents to OBJ
serve strictly those particular interna-
tional rules of warfare which the~enemv
does not observe at all.
| wonder what those American naners
who follow England through thick and

should happen. am pretty sure that

of morals. According to the ENGLISH
code of morals, thing which is bad in.
itself, becomes good whenever an Eng.
lishman does it, and thing good in
itself becomes bad whenever an adver-
sary Of England does it. So we NAV
probably hear again an outcry of dis
gust and horror, when the Germans will,
do in England what the English have
done IN Germany. What will the Amer
ican people say eventually? am pretty
sure they will begin to see clearly where
IS right and wrong in this war.

Bud Hooker and Phil De Lancey are
forced, owing to a revolution in Mexico,
TO give up their mining claim and return
to the United States. In the border town
of Gadsden Bud meets Henry Kruger. q
wealthy miner. who makes him a propo-
stton to return to Mexico to acquire title
to very rich mine which Kruger had
blown up when he found he had been
cheated out of the title BY one AraSon

cate the vein and then allowed the land

to acquire the title for them. and get a
perInit to do preliminary work. Aragon
protests and accuses them Of jumping his
claim. Bud discovers that matrimonial
enAngismeuts prevent Mendez from per
fecting valid title. Phil. who has been
paying attention to Aragon's daughter,
csracta, decides to turn Mexican and get
the title IN his own name. Bud objects
to Phifs attentions to Gracia- AraGon
fatls In his attempt to drive them OF the
claim. Rebels are reported in the vicin-
~. Stories Of rapine and bloodshsd are
brought in. Bud and Phil begin work In
earnest on their claim.

would take by hiring a deserter, let

There he showed him the coffee-pot
and the kettle Of beans by the fire, set
! out slab of Dutch-oven bread and a
sack Of jerked beef, some stewed fruit
and a can of sirup. and left him to do
his worst.
In the course OF half an hour or 30
he came back and found the Yaqui
sopping up sirup with the last of the
bread and humming a little tune. So
they sat down and smoked cigarette
and came to the business at hand
Where you go?" inquired Bud; but
Amigo only shrugged enigmatically.
You like to work." continued Bud,
and the Indian broke into a smile of
assent
"Muy bisn,' said Hooker with final
fty; Il give Mexicans two dollars a
day--I give you four. Is that enough ?"
"Si," nodded the Yaqui. and without
more words he followed Bud back to
the cut. There, in half a day, he ac-
compffshed more than all the Mexi-
cans put together. leaping boldly up
the bank to dislodge hanging boulders,
boosting them by main strength up
onto the ramshackle tram they had
constructed, and trundfing them out
to the dump with the shove of mighty
hand.

head every minute; but though he was
such a hustler and made their puny
efforts seem 30 ineffectual by compari-
