Judge Rose Reverses Himself
But Allows An Appeal to
the Hiqhest Court.

The. United States Supreme Court
may be called upon to pass on the
legality of the provisions of the pro-
Inhibition law Of West Virginia, which
prohibits the transportation Of liquor
into the state except for specific pur-
poses and also prohibits the solicita-
ton through the mail Of orders for
liquor to be sent into the state. The
appeal to the highest court in the
land has been authorized by Judge
Rose from his decision in the federal
court at Baltimore Diminishing the
bills of complaint of the James Clark
Distilling Company, Of Cumberland,
TO require the American Express
Company and the Western Maryland
Railway Company to accept packages
Of liquor to. be transported into West
Virginia.
In discussing the bills Judge Rose
reversed his. previous ruling in the
cases granting an injunction requir-
ing the companies to accept for trans
portation into West Virginia pack
ages Of liquor from the James Clark
Distilling Company. and holding that
the company had the right to solicit
orders in West Virginia through the
mail.
In a similar case subsequently, the
United. States Circuit Court Of APP,
peals at Richmond upheld the West
Virginia law, and Judge Rose was or
dered to make his decision conform to
that Of the higher court.

Concerning the feature OF the present
status OF prohibition in West Virginia
the Wheeling Intelligcncers says
A careful reading of the opinion
rendered by the United States Cir
cult Court OF Appeals, in the case Of
the State of West Virginia versus the
Adams Express Company, reveals an
extremely interesting Interpretation
Of the law Legal decisions pertain
ing to the shipments of liquor In orig
inal packages from one state 10 an
other for many years are reversed
Twenty-Five years ago the supreme
court rendered the famous original
package decision In anfIowa case. II
AEAA1 ~ tlA0Ilfa tlhL H1AlhAlAdul5 VI
LIQUORS in interstate commerce In orig
inal packages could not be prohibited
by any state. Since that time the
original package theory has become
firmly Undecided in the body OF our
law, and has been more or less gen
orally accepted by our citizens. The
court OF appeals in Richmond practic-
ally utilities all these decisions and
precedents and establishes a rev rule.
1t holds:
First, That the. state OF West vir-
ginia can legally declare the place OF
sale OF an article to be at the place
OF delivery. In other words, II finds
in the sovereign state the power to
make the place of delivery, or rather
tha delivery, an essential part OF the
sale and necessary for its completion.
This holding practically ident lies the
acts Of sale and delivery, andS for
bids delivery Of merchandise whose
sale is forbidden.
Second, In the police power of the
state it finds authority for the pro-
hfbition of the importation OF alco-
holic drinks or any other articles Of
commerce that may be considered In
furious.
Third, In the Webb-Keynon law 1t
finds surrender by the national Cons
gress Of its power over interstate COM
nierce, in SO far as it concerns arti-
cles whose sale inside state ID for
hidden, either by constitutional
amendment or by statutory enact
ment.
The three principles above laid
down arm prohibition legislation with
weapons of great power. Entirely re-
CARELESS of conditions that may ex-
ist in adjoining states. the state Of
West Virginia may compel prohibi-
lion within It's borders. No railroad,
transfer company, express company
or individual may safely import liquor
into West Virginia, IL this theory Of
the law is sustained.

An AutlIoritaatlre book.

With the advent of SO mnch new
blood in the Supreme Court of the
United States, 1t is probable that re
1nNrkable changes in the procedure Of
that body will come about. There, has
been demand throughout the coun-
try for the expedition OF business
through this highest tribunal OF the
land. With the growth and eIpan-
sion that has taken place in the Uni
ted States in twenty years, there has
been a corresponding increase in litir
cation coming up to the supreme
: conrt The methods of procedure that
once met all of the demands Of the
legal world, have been overwhelmed
by the pressure OF new business.
There are cases on record where the
printing of evidence alone has ex-
ceeded In cost the vallie OF a large
farm. The court, as it is now con-
stituted. will probably so simplify the
handling illegal business that the
difficulties OF the past will largely be
overcome.
The story Of the supreme court Is
one OF the most interesting in the
history of the federal government. As
told in the authoritative book, The
American Government" by Frederic
u IIaslsin, it is entertaining, and, al
the same time, presents wealth Of
just the sort az Information every
American wishes to know about the
supreme tribunal of the land. This
book is being handled by the Tele-
gram al the mere cost of production
and handling, because 1t IS a work

city to a better knowledge of his gov
ernmmt and consequently to better
citizenship.
