Decision Day Devoted to Up
holding Laws.
Webb Bill and the Sand Royalty
Are Constitutional
Shawnee COUNTY CASES
Harper Case Reversed and Bud
Muir Scores Point.
Pierce Case Also Reversed by
State Tribunal.

The Kansas supreme court upheld the
Webb-Kenyon bill. passed by congress
over President Taft's veto. and giving
to the states control over liquor ship
ments. Until the supreme court Of the
United States overturns the Webb law
Kansas will consider it a valid enact
ment and will take charge OF all liquor
shipped into the state. This Is the
first decision on the validity of the
Webb law since it was enacted in the
closing days of Taft's administration.
IF the Webb law is not valid states
with laws regulating the handling ana
sale of intoxicating liquors are abso-
lutely helpless" reads the opinion.
without this law no state has any
more control over liquor than it has
over the shipments of wheat and corn.
We believe that the liquor traffic can
be made subject to the same regula-
tfons as obscene literature and white
slavery and that congress has sufh-
cient power to regulate the shipments
Of liquor as it has to prohibit the trans
portation of white slaves.
1.-The Webb law simply gives to the
states the control over liquor ship
ments into it when the shipments are
to be used In violation of the law.
1t was argued to US that the law was
not uniform in its application but we
think it is because every state has some
laws regulating the liquor traffic. Sew
enty per cent of the total territory OF
the United States is dry. Nine states
are dry and a majority of the people of
the entire country live in dry territory.
'"The constitution gives to congress
absolute control over interstate COM
merce and we believe that congress
can make any regulations or delegate

Miss Ella M. Brownell, director
of music at the ST. Johnsbury AGA
DENY, was in Rutland last week,
where on Thursday evening she gave
a song recital in the assembly hall
of the Rutland High School under
the auspices of the Rutland Teach
ers' association, and for the benefit
of the teachers retirement fund. The
recital was given before an audience
of over 400 persons, and will net the
fund over 500. Miss BrOWnell for
merly taught music in the Rutland
schools, and of the program given
the Rutland Herald says:
1.-THE program was especially well
rendered and each selection received
applause from the audience. Miss
Brownell has a voice of exceptional
sweetness and power and her show
dering of the difficult passages show
ed the effect of careful training"

Benjamin L. Terrill, alias Fred H.

several weeks for the forgery of
note for $1,000 and several large
checks on Gilman Brothers of this
town was caught last week in Nova
Scotia by Sheriff A. E. Straine of
Littleton, n. H. Terrill was taken
to New Hampshire as Gilman Broth
ers were protected and will not lose
through his forgeries and he is want
ed in New Hampshire for selling
horses with a mortgage on them.
1t seems the man bought a large
number of horses in the West and
some of Woodsville parties, giving
notes and a mortgage on the horses
in part payment. He brought them
to Littleton and sold them. Then he
took what money he had received
and skipped. New Hampshire officers
have been searching this vicinity for
the horses he sold but there seems
little probability they will be re-
turned to the mortgage holders.

Setting Out Pines

E. and T. Fairbanks and Co. are
busy setting out the 100000 white
pine seedlings ordered from the state
forestry nursery and have the work
about half done. They are putting
these trees on the woodland cut off
a year ago along the upper edge of
their meadow. They burn the bursh
on the land for the purpose of re-
ducing the fire risk and set about
800 trees a day.
Last season the company set out
a lot of pines on the Chickering lot
in Danville and an inspection shows
that very large percentage of them
are alive. Although set out very
late they show a growth of from two
to six inches last season.
V. V. Lurchn is also setting out a
large number of pines on his land
near the Walden line in North Dan
vile.
