The Wrong Way Of Lesislating.

The Supreme Court of Alabama has declared
constitutional the anti-advertsing liquor law, en-
acted by the legislature last winter. This law pro-
hibits the circulation of newspapers periodicals
in Alabama which contain liquor advertisements
1t provides another form of inquisition and while
it may be enforced upon the publishers Of Ala
bama, it is not clear how the authorities will en-
force it as to publications from outside the State
carried in the United States mails. The Post
office Department has been requested to take over
the responsibility for the enforcement of the law
upon such publications by denying to them the
use of the mails That would be an arbitrary
and illegal act the part OF the department.
Congress alone can prescribe maabfe matter, and
bar from the mails scurrlous anti-religious publ
cations not because the members of Congress
sympathize with these publications. but because
they very careful about that provision of the
Constitution which prohibits Congress from max
ing any law respecting establishment of re-
ligion prohibiting the free exercise thereof;
abridgng the freedom of speech or of the press.
These prohibitions all embodied in the one
article, and it is as difficult to get around one
clause as another
The legislature of Alabama cannot make a law
that will do what Congress has felt that it was
prohibited from doing The only way to enforce
the law against outside publications will be to
establish espionage on every subscriber to any
publication from outside the State and punish him
for receiving any advertisement which is prohibit
ed by the State law. The decision of the Supreme
Court applies to newsdealer in Birmingham and
prohibits him from delivering publications which
contain the objectional Advertising and the result
will be the use OF the mails for such delivery. 1t
is another of those attempts to make the
people sober, industrious, virtuous and happy by
law The legislature of Alabama has simply re-
versed the machinery for making the people sober.
Instead of trying to suppress the manufacture and
sale of liquors, it has sought to suppress the adj
vcrtising OF liquors. Last year there was more
illicit marui acturc and sale of liquors in the State
than in the previous year, and the commissioner
of internal said in his report that it was
impossible to break up this illicit business with
out the hearty cooperation of the local and State
authorities" That the condition is growing worse
instead of better in the prohibition States is the
judgment OF the commissioner. In Alabama, 3o8
illicit distlleries discovered and reported for
seizure, I62 seized and destroyed, 26o prose-
cutions recommended Bootlegging drug store
sales and special clubs for the dspensation Of
liquors thrived and the legislature of Alabama did
nothing to stop this illicit business but it did
pass prohibition law and law prohibiting the
ing liquor advertisements. 1t is OF the best
examples of advertising a virtue without practc-
ing it, that we have had in recent years.

A Good Ex-President.

Not often has the nation had a wiser EXPIRES
ident than William H. Taft. In every compca-
ton that the present administration has faced
and it surely has had more than its share Of COM
plications-Mr. Taft has advised the people to
stand steadfastly by the administr alton. In the
present crisis he has refused to say ANYTHING that
might embarrass the President, but has, on the
contrary, told the people that he was in every
way worthy OF their support and confidence. In
nothing has Mr. Taft done much to deserve
the respect and affection of the country as in the
policy that he has uniformly observed in his re-
tirement He has shown himself-what every

MUCH ADO OVER BAGGAGE.
Commissions Ruling COmplicates
Checking Procedure.

1t is considered likely that the decision
of the Interstate Commerce Commission
that baggage is subject TO the Cummins'
amendent to the act to regulate COM
merce will cause a decided change in the
rules governing baggage of passengers
The Cummins' amendment provides that
after June carriers cannot limit their
liability for goods carried except under
certain circumstances.
Under the terms Of the act and the
commissions construction, carriers can
now compel passengers to file a state
ment in writing as to the value OF the
contents of trunks and other containers
of personal belongings, and can fix
rate based on the value declared I'm writ
ing as additional insurance. After June
?, therefore. it looks as if passengers ac-
companied by baggage will have to go
through a totally different rocedure than
at the present time, when they merely

peace of mind the most surprising feature.
He found himself singularly relieved from the I'M

ally, he enjoyed feeling that he was no longer the
slave OF food. Not in the FIVE days did he
feel hungry. On the fifth day he made political
speech and no one noticed that there was any
thing unusual in his looks or manner The only
discomfort he experienced pain between his
shoulder blades, like indigestion, and moments
when he felt threats of and transient weak
ness. On the third day. greatly to his astonish-
ment, he noticed that the caarrh that he had been
bothered by for years had apparently left him. But

said that, without any hardship. he could have
gone on fasting But he had decided in any event.

of the largest number of farmers Is
the creamery, This furnishes a n
slant demand for cream, whether in
large or small quantities. There are
three ways of getting cream to the
creamery or shipping point:
/. Each farmer may haul his own
cream.
2. Farmers in a community may
take turns in hauling their cream.
8. A man may be employed to haul
all the cream regularly and each farm
er may pay for this service according
to the amount of cream he sells.
The third method is on the same
principle as the rural free delivery OF
mail matter. Under this system the
hauler at Irregular intervals comes to
the farmers door, gets the cream, and
| takes it to the creamery or shipping
point. The cream is weighed, sam
pied. and poured into a carrying can
in the wagon. The samples and rec
ords of weights are sent to the cream
cry. Routes may be established close
to the creamery, and the cream deliv-
cred direct, or they may be estab-
lished at distant points and the cream
| delivered to a central station for ship
| ping to the creamery. Subroutes may
radiate from points on the main route
and thus cream can be collected from
a wide area.
=.
In communities in which interest in
! selling cream is just being aroused
and where there is not cream enough
| produced to pay for having it collected
| each dav, the cream can be kept from
day to DAY and collected twice a week
Ia water ahgl three times in summer.
Wher this is praeticed the farmers
must ase ice to keep the cream as colo
as po sible, or place the cans in spring
or wtfI water. Unless extra care is
taken 10 produce the cream in the
mos ~aanly manner. and nnfess 1T II
