The Associated Press is the greatest

strictly with facts and avoids Civ
ing any color of prejudice to the news

and refuses TO make mountains out of

of fact could just as well be omitted.
The extreme minuteness with which
the sad scene at the bedside of the

IS fully as disgusting as the published

A Journal subscriber asks for an
answer &c the following question:
Is ii lawful TO sell intoxicating liquor.
after having obtained federal rev.
enue license, on a navigable river
where the counties on both sides OF
the river within the state prohibit the
sale of intoxicating liquors?
The federal government does not
issue liquor licenses It does impose
a tax on those who engage in the sale
of liquor and is very strict about col
lecting the tax. When the treasury de-
partment collects the tax it gives tbs
payer a receipt showing that he has
paid it. That is all there is to the So
called federal license 1t confers nc
license to sell upon the holder. 1,
merely exempts him from the conse-
quences of not paying the revenue tax
imposed by Uncle Sam on the sale Oh
liquor.
For the right to sell liquor within
any state jurisdiction an application
must be made under terms prescribed
by the state. The federal tax receip,
exempts the seller from federal pen
atty. To secure exemption from state
penalty the seller must comply with
regulations made by the state. II
state regulations are not compiled with
the federal receipt offer no protection
from the consequences OF state Law
violation.
The sale of liquor in a navigable
stream with prohibition territory OIL
both sides is not legal. whether or not
the seller has a federal tax receipt
1t is not feasible il the authorities OIL
the adjoining counties are vigilant and
active. The police power of the coun.
" on either side of the river extends
to the middle of the stream and viola
tons OF law at ali times must be with
in the jurisdiction of one county OF
the other.
Sales of liquor on steamboats, plying
thru prohibition territory have fire.

with either the approval or the tole
alton of authorities ashore. Wher,
there has been disposition TO stop suci
