case of Wilborg VS.. U. s. 1913 U. S.,
observed it (the neutrality act) was
undoubtedly designed in general to
secure neutrality in wars between two
other nations or between contending
parties recognized as belligerents,
but it's operation is not necessarily
dependent on the existence of a state
of belligerency.'
"By a reference to the standard
dictionaries, as well as to authorities
on international law, it will be found
very well settled that, a state or ma
ton, denotes political community
recognized and conformed to by its
citizens and subjects as the supreme
power. A prince, IN the general ac-
ceptation of the term according to
authorities when applied in the law
of nations, signifies a sovereign, a
king, emperor or ruler; one to whom
authority is delegated and power yes

Authority was granted by the city COM

1t has been figured that, with no add

tor could be operated at the water plant,
and quite a saving in lighting bills is
promised.
This question has been passed upon
favorably after some extended examina-
ton on the part Of the superintendent Of

which is now to be put into execution is
a thoroughly feasible one.

America First and America Efficient"
WHISKEY. REVENUES.

NNE Of the interesting items in the annual report Of
W the Commissioner Of Internal Revenue showed that
$2,099,l27 was collected in this state during the
Twelve months Immediately preceding June 30 this year
time we expect to comment Of various kinds and
degrees of intelligence upon this in the newspapers that
support the side of the liquor interests openly or covey,
the long drawn out argument regarding the merits of
prohibition laws.
But there really not much to it. That two million
bnd little Of dollars to begin with represents total
Eolechons Of internal in this state and in these
days when the government collects war taxes in time of
peace to make up for the bungng Of its regular
legislation money is drawn from many sources Such of it
as drawn from liquor fees merely represents the difference
efficiency if not in honesty between the local and the
government police establishments For instance, the gov
eminent knows that whkey is being sold in Marion coun-
y and it collects the whskey sellers fee from those who
are engaged in the traffic The local officers may be COL
Letting fees but they pretend that they do not know that
such traffic exists
Both the whskey sellers and the officers who make them
pay fees know that if they are detected taking liberties
with the revenue laws both Of them will do time in fed
eral prison addition to being compelled to pay stiff
6ne Therefore there little temptation to attempt to
eyade the law When local public opinion gets around
the point where it will be dangerous for politicians to
protect constable or other peace officer who winks at
violations Of the laws of the state. whskey selling will
undergo marked falling off and there will be core
spending decrease the excise receipts from this state.
