JUST A HINT To
THE DRY CROWD
Why Don't Prohibition
lists Make Drinking
Liquor a Crime.

There IL no encouragement for prohi-
bitionists in the United States Supreme
Court decision in the Kentucky case.
There is solid ground on which to build
new and more effective effort.
The Kentuckian who received the con-
signment of liquor from outside the state
never thought of selling il, as might have
been assumed beforehand He wanted
il for bis own Use. lie lived in a prohi-
bition county, and prohibition was
against the sale and not the consumption
Of the liquor. Hence the Webb Kenyon
law of Congress, whether constitutional
or not, did not apply. for that law APP
Plies only 70 shipments Of liquor from
one state into the dry" territory OF any
other state for purposes unlawful To the
dry" territnry.
Prohibition will now know better what
% do. IL has been working at the wrong
end OF the proposition. IL has let the
demand for rum alone while trying 10
stop the supply. IL is directed against
manufacture aud sale instead Of against
consumption. At the risk Of reversal
Of figure. it may he said that this is like
trying 10 dry up a river at the mouth
instead of at the source.
Make the consumption OF intoxicating
liquor a crimel II this decision of the
supreme court does not say 30 in a.
many words, it is broadly limited. Then
Il will make no particular difference
whether the Webb-Renyon law stands or
falls. Either way, that rnmmy Ken
tuekian of Whitley county will find pro-
hibition standing guard before his own
snieboard, and those worthy people who
vote prohibition for the other fellow i'm
no idea of letting it apply to themselves
will have les- Use for the courts in ga, ing
them from the consequences of their OWL
votes.

COST WILL BE TWO OR
 THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS

Little Rock, Nov. 19.-It will cost Ashley county two or three thousand dollars extra to build draw-spans in bridges over Bayou Bartholomew, be- cause it has been classed by govern ment authorities as navigable stream. As matter of fact, it is navigable for nothing bigger than a canoe, and it is not probable that the draws would ever be opened.
 State Highway Engineer Carter has returned from Wilmet and Mont rose, where he started surveys for the bridges at those points. It is not known yet just how much the bridges will cost.
