HAMMOND SUIT TO BE RE.
/. VIEWED. >sooN BY UNITED
STATES DISTRICT COURT.
INVOLVES RIGHTS OF
EXPRESS COMPANIES
Grows Out Of Effort Of Law Officers to
Secure injunction in Iowa Courts Re.
strainins Shipment Of Liquors Into
Dry Tsrritory--case Is Important to
Entire State.

Des Moines, Dec. /. - One of the
States district court for the present
term, whose outcome will be watched
with interest in Des Moines, is the case
of John B. Hammond against the
American Express Company and
others.
This is the action begun in the dis
trict court of Polk county wherein an
effort was made by Hammond to pro-
cure an Injunction restraining the eN-
press company from delivering liquor,
that had been sold to purchaser, who
bought the goods following a solicita- :
ton by mail.
Ab Day, head of the city's booze
squad had been solicited thru the
mails by an Omaha liquor concern. He
ordered some liquor and the goods ar
rived in the office of the American EN-
press Company in Des Moines.
Grounds Of the Suit.
Hammond began his action on the
grounds that the express company, by
delivering the liquor. was maintaining
a nuisance and that the Frederick NJ.
Hubbell estate, owner of the building
in which the express office is located.
was cognizant of it.
The hearing of. the petition was set
to be held before Judge w. S. Ayres
in the equity division of the district
court of Polk county.
Attorney H. M.%Havner, counsel for
Hammond. commended that it is unlaw
full to. solicit Filquor orders in Iowa.
therefore the liquor sent to Alb Day
was unlawful, E ,'. ...
Attorneys for the express company
held that the liquc. was part OF an
interstate shipment, therefore the state
court, did not have jurisdiction in the
matter They asked that, the case be
transferred to the federal court.
The case was transferred. Later
motion was filed in the federal court
by Hammond's attorneys to remand the
case back to the state court. 49,
..... Case 10 Important. r..a. .
The case is an important one. for If
Hamniond's contentious are upheld 1t
will practically compel the express
companies to Quit receiving ami DEW :
ering liquor within the limits OF the
state. t
The express companies will be placed
in the position of not knowing whether
a liquor order has been solicited or not.
If they are under injunction restrain
ing them from receiving shipment
that has been solicited and deliver the
shipment they will be in contempt Oh
court.

Changing thru the Forest Dell.
All the Little People Of the Friendly
Forest and the Pleasant Meadow were
greatly excited. From behind trees ana
branches, rocks and bushes, they
watched the building of the railroad.
Parson Owl came from the Parsonage
to look on; Prof. Grow. after school
hours. came to offer his advice, but
changed his mind. AS for Billy Bunny,
he sat on a stone and watched ana
wondered. Cousin Cotton Tail had
been forced to move from the OLD
Brush Heap on the hill. She and her
four little Dummies were now living
next to Billy Bunny in the Old Brier
patch. when Billy was told that q
railroad must be level, he thought
man would come with q big scythe ana
slice off the top of the hill Ike loaf
Of brown bread and lay the slices In
the hollows. This wasn't SO very
stranse. seeing that Billy Bunny was
only q little bunnie, and, Of course,
didn't know anything about building
railroads.

being finished. The Hill was dug out.

Finally the rails were fastened on

the first train was to run thru, and ev-

Mr.. and Mrs. Bunny put on their

and Brother Bobby Tail to the end Of
the Old Snake Fence. After an hours
waiting black speck appeared at the
end of the long line. 1t grew bigger
and bigger. A cloud OF smoke arose
and drlfted over the Friendly Forest.
There was q rattle and roar and q

lieve it represents salvation, and it is your
ballot-self chosen, WALK TO THE


POLLS AND CAST 1T WITHOUT FEAR.
If it does not express your conscience and
belief, tear it up, no matter how your father
or grandfather may have voted. Forget the
issues and conflicts of half century ago. The
venom, the sectional prejudice and hatred be-
ing poured out through the press around you
IS to bewilder and intimidate They are
poured our every four years. They are ap-
peals to passion at time when you need to
reason. Remember YOU stand or fall by the
issues OF the present, not the past. The surest
safeguard for your children is PREPARED
NESS. Coast Artillery? YES, AND MORE.
Submarines? YES, AND MORE. Battle
ships? YES, AND MORE Standing
Armies? YES, YES, AND STILL MORE.
The greatest bulwark of all is AN UNITED
COUNTRY. The men who seek to array sec
ton against section are the traitors of their
age. Follow them if you will, dip your bal
lots IN their venom and cast them, but do not
blame your God If they poison the lives that
follow after you.
Better stop, look and listen, awhile. View
the campaign for State officers now in
progress, conducted by the forces that claim
the right to direct your ballot. Reflect. that.
IF HALF THE THINGS THEY CHARGE
EACH OTHER WITH WERE TRUE. all,
of the candidates should be quarantined for
the safety Of society If true, the logic of the
situation would be, that, the State of Georgia
stands no chance to elect a decent man to her
highest office. Probably very little of what
they charge each other with is true When
not running for office these candidates are
pretty good citizens. The point is, if they
SANDER each other, how can they advise YOU
on national isues? AND HOW CAN You
LEARN COOL DECISION, WISDOM
AND THE BEAUTY OF HIGH IDEALS
IN SUCH A SCHOOL? Don't overlook the
fact so often Ignored, that however common
place and practical may be the methods of
political parties, the ideals on which rests this
great republic are as lofty as the thoughts of
angels. God pity the people who mistake the
pmhead politician for a product of these
ideals, or their defender. HE HAS NEVER
HEARD OF THEM
THE PROGRESSIVE PARTY OF
GEORGIA was never more vibrantly alive
than today 1t IS here to stay, and proposes
to stay with the assistance of MEN and

NOT AFRAID TO HAVE OPINIONS
OF THEIR OWN AND EXPRESS THEM

NOT AFRAID to work as their consciences
dictate for the welfare Of themselves and their
children;
NOT AFRAID of the little politician and
his lash. He is led man. Mules will fol-

THE NEW EMAN CLIP ATION
10 the Men and Women OF Georgia Who Are Not Afraid

Georgia TINS year, is IOr rhLEOOM w
CONSCIENCE and the ENLARGEMENT
OF THE LIBERTY OF THE INDI-
VIDUAL.
1t is to take the ballot out of the hand of
the pinhead politician and place it back in the
hand of the man TO WHOM 1T BELONGS.
It is to give him voice in the settlement
of the questions that enter into his business,
and determine, not only his present happi-
ness but his future welfare and the standing
of his children.
It is his fight as it is ours He has a right
to be factor in the progress and preservation
of his country. He is not factor today. HE
IS A SLAVE TO THE POLITICIAN. The
vote of the State of Georgia is cast by a hand
full of men who represent only their own
political fortunes. We call>it the fight for
THE NEW EMANCIPATION, the freedom
of the white man from the chains that have
bound him for fifty years. While our appeal
is to all men who desire freedom, it IS
especially directed to those Of red blood;
MEN WHO CALL NO MAN MASTER.
IF you are satisfied to remain as you are,
through honest belief in the policies worked
out for you, or through Indifference to results;
or if YOU are afraid of some other man or
woman, you are not the man or woman we
seek. We seek the individual who faces the
sunrise with the fear of God, only, in his
heart Who believes in his God first and IN
himself or herself next; and is ready, not only
to die for his country, BUT TO LIVE FOR
IT To such, only, is the free ballot a bless
ing, and they only, are fit to WELD it. In the
hands of political slave the ballot doubly
arms the master, but
Light as the snowflake,
"Sinl1ing to the sod
ut executes the will of freemen
CAS- lightning does the will of God"
1t is the legacy of generations that won it
for YOU on fields of battle. IT BELONGS
no MEN OF INIATIVE, not to the sub
jective man.
It is the link that binds the individual to
the nation. He is an absolute nonentity with
out it, HE IS A TRAITOR TO HIS
COUNTRY IF HE HANDS 1T OVER TO
ANOTHER MAN.
Here is the way to appreciate the ballot and
to WELD it; hold it aloft in the full sunlight,
and IN THE SIGHT OF ALL MEN, and
look down the future. Try to see your child
ren, and grandchildren grown to manhood and
womanhood. Ask yourselves, "DOES THIS
HELP THEM TO PROSPERITY; TO
VIRTUE; TO CHRISTIAN MANHOOD.
AND WOMANHOOD? OR DOES TT
CONDEMN THEM TO THE HOE IN
THE FIELDS; TO THE WASH TUB; TO
THE SMALL JOBS IN STORE AND
WORKSHOPS; TO ENDLESS LABOR
AND SMALL PAY? DOES IT FORCE
THEM TO GROW UP IN IGNORANCE
AND NARROWNESS, AND EXPAND
ONLY IN TEMPTATION? DOES IT
ROB THEM OF THEIR CHANCE IN
LIFE?" Do this much for yourself and for
them. For the liberties of the American came
from the ballot; the evils that, have affected
him-poverty and war-came also from the
ballot. The Civil War, which condemned the
