NEW LIQUOR DECISION

The decision of Justice Day for
the United States Supreme Court
in the case of the Adams Express
Co., which was being prosecuted for
taking liquor for personal use from
Tennessee into Whitley county, KY,
dry territory" is far reaching in
its effect here in Arizona,
The decision practically declares
that liquor may be consigned and
delivered to individual persons in
dry" states, provided the lqucr is
not resold after reaching its des.
tination. If it is not used for com
mercial purposes, it may be deliv-
cred, and the owner of the liquor
cannot be prosecuted.
Thus the United States Supreme
Court accepts the decision of the
Kentucky court of appeals that the
Webb-Kenyon act was not applicable
to cases where liquor was shipped
interstate for personal contumption.
According to this decision then
any citizen in Arizona can ship in
liquor for personal use. but as Ari-
zona is a dry" state, those receiv-
ing liquor cannot sell it or give it
away. Neither can there be open
saloons to sell it. LiquoE can only
be brought in for personal use.
The ol ject of many people who
voted for Statewide prohibition in
order to close the saloons is OH
tanned, but if they S i'll want the
booze" they can bring it in for per-
sonal consumption. Bootlegging will
still continue to be unlawful and
those caught at it will be prose-
cuted.
Prohibition then does not pro-
hibit. 1t closes the saloon. which in
itself is a good thing. but it opens
the doors to personal consump
tion," which may lead anywhere
and be serious menace in any com
munity.
The officers will have more work
to do from now on. They must
watch the consignments of liquor
for personal use, note who is get
ting it and the quantity they receive,
in order to learn if the liquor is
really for personal use or for the
purpose of selling.
We will have more drunks and at
tendant lawlessness that accompa-
MES the larger consumption of Ii
quor, but there is law against be-
ing drunk on the public streets and
this law must be enforced.

When Baby has the Group

When a mother is awakened from
sound sleep to find her child who has
gone to bed apparently in the best
of health struggling for breath, she
is naturally alarmed Yet if she
can keep her presence of mind and
give ChamberIain's Cough Remedy
every ten minutes until vomiting is
produced, quick relief will follow
and the child will drop to sleep to
awaken in the morning as well as
ever. This remedy has been in use
for many years with uniform success.

Students returning to the Univer.
sity of Arizona have found the
splendid new agricultural building
in use. The administrative offices
of the University and the College of
Agriculture are located there, and
fine new class-rooms and laboratories
mark the beginning of a new era in
agricultural education in Arizona.
This is the only institution in the
United States where special instruc-
ton is given in arid, sub tropical
agriculture, such as is peculiar to
millions of acres in the Southwest,
Mexico, South America, Africa, Asia

nobody in authority has yet said. "a
do not believe these roads will Join
in the request for an increase" said
one of the West Virginia commission
ers, who, however, requested that his
name be not given. my reason for
so thinking Is that the1. roads must
surely see that such an increase as
has been asked for would operate to
decrease their tonnage from West Vir'
ginia mines, TO cripple and harass the
business from which they receive the
greatest receipts In our state, and
which would by depressing the chief
industry Of West Virginia correspond
ingly depreSs the business Of the state
FsaeralIy. and those railroads would
be among the hardest hit. do not

be brought under the domination OF
the petitioning company 10 such all

Chairman Northcott of the commits,

"0ur purpose In taking up this
