STATE GOES DRY JAN. |,
IS DECISION OF COURT

Washington's prohibition law was
upheld unanimously In a decision
rendered Friday by the eight judges
CT the state supreme court before
whom the case was argued. The
effect of the decision also Is TO up
hold for all time the validity Of the
initiative and referendum amend
ments to the constitution, and to
forestall objections, on the ground
OF insufficient publication, against
the woman suffrage and recall
amendments.
The reasoning of the majority of
the court is that since admitted
technical Irregularities in the publi-
cation of the initiative and referen-
dunn amendment and the prohibition
measure do not appear in any Off
cial record and are not matter of
general nOtOriety, the court cannot
take judicial notice of these errors.
The Webb-Kenyon act Of congress,
BY divesting liquor of it's interstate
character, prevents raising the ques-
tion of interference with interstate
commerce. and privileges granted to
pharmacists to sell liquor and denied
to others, amount only to classlfi-
cation of businesses, and not TO
such a discrimination between per-
sons as to invalidate the act, The
court further holds.
Governor Lister, who was present
when the momentOus decision was
handed down, issued a statement
calling upon good citizens of the
state, regardless of their peisoral
opinions, to assist in seeing that ;he
law is upheld in it's enforcement.

A PRAYER.

Cd of the warning nations
God of the ways of peace.
= Hark to the pleas of women
~ And bid the warfare cease!
Hark to the prayers Of children
Their small heads lifted up,
And remove from the world forever.
Remove this bitter cup.
In years Of peaceful living
Thy servants have forgot
The grief that follows carnage,
And now, their blood grown hot,
They challenge each other.
And with no needing for
The necklaced arms Of loved ones
They clatter forth to war.
Oh, God, remove this madness
And make thy servants sane!
Remove the fields of carnage,
Where wounded and where slain
Are trampled in CORY remnants!
Our God of war and peace
Remove from men their blindness
And bid the warfare cease!
A wife stands all forsaken
And peers into the storm.
Above the smoke of battle
She marks the vultures swarm;
No loved one hears her pleading
And to her succor flies
Beside where she stands weeping
baby starves and dies.
God, lift the burden from them
Who bear the burden most!
God, touch the hearts of rulers!
God, turn each warning host
From ways that lead to slaughter
Back to the paths of peace!
God, hear the plants Of women
And bid this warning cease!

the next term of court they filed a
lengthy petition with the court, ask

allowed over the known objections
of Mrs. Flanders. It is true that
Luther Rosser, who WIS represent
ing Mrs. Flanders at that time,
agreed to the nollpross, and she was
never tried. / stated to the prose-
cutors in the case that I dared them
to try Mrs. Flanders. Mrs. Fland-
ers, having a large family connec-
ton in the county, evidence would
be produced that would acquit her
and vindicate DR.. McNaughton. This
evidence was smothered by this mol
pross, all of which was made clear
to Governor Slaton, and I defied the
State to deny it.

the State, and the depriving him of
everything where any family con-
