DECISION EXCERPTS

special to the Journal-M l-Miner-
 PHOENIX, Feb. 12.-That liquor
 may be brought into Arizona for per sonal use was held by the Supreme court today in an opinion reversing the Yuma Superior court in the case of w. I. Sturgeon, charged and con yicted of introducing bottle of wine across the State line at Yuma. Stu1- geon's demurrer on the ground that the liquor was introduced for his per Sonal use was over-ruled in the lower court.
 After quoting Section of the pro hibition amendment the court finds that three crimes are defined and de nounced, the traffic in intoxicating liquors, the manufacture of intoxicat- ing liquors and the introducing or at tempting to introduce intoxicating liquors.
 The various laws relating to liquor in interstate commerce are cited with decisions bearing upon them up, to the Webb-Kenyon law, can act divest- ing intoxicating liquors of their inter state character in certain cases That act forbids the taking of liquor into any State ito be received, pos sessed, sold, or in any manner used  either in the original package or oth- erwise in violation of any law of such State"
 Search the prohibition amendment as you will" says the opinion, there is no suggestion or intimation in any form contained therein, prohibiting the possession or individual con sumption of intoxicating liquors in Arizona"
 The opinion then recitss that if liq- uor is to be put to use recognized as lawful in the State that the highest court of the land has held that the prohibition of the Webb-Kenyon act did not apply and the decision in the case of the Adams Express Company vs. Kentucky. that the introduction into dry territory of liquor for per sonal use was no violation of the law. is in accord with and influenced by repeated adjudications on the subject by the Federal court.
 The opinion concludes: Before concluding it may be properly observ- ed that so long as the law accords to the citizen the privilege of possessing and using intoxicating liquors for his individual consumption, this privilege nay not be used as Incense to violate the law by invoking that privilege as ! subterfuge for an illicit introduc- ion or use. nor should he consider it an invitation to pass the danger line est he find himself wrecked, for the way of the transgressor is hard"

By Associated Press.


 PHI ENIX, Feb. 12.- The State Supreme court to- day decided that the irnpor- tation of liquor for personal use is not in violation of the State prohibition amend ment.

Democrats Have Banner
Dinner at Golden

jefferson County Democrats
are congratulating themselves
upon the results of the series of
dinners and gabfests they have
just closed with a banner dinner
at the Crawford house in Golden
Monday night, when about Is
pei sons from nearly all the pre-
cincts in the county sat down to
a splendid 80 cent luncheon.
The interest was splendid and
it was evident that the meetings
had not failed in their purpose,
that of setting their house in or
der for the coming campaign.
There had been a feeling a.
mong some Of those who had
failed to get notice Of previous
meetings that a scheme was on
foot to put something over on
the rest of them and that just a
few men were attempting to run
things. Those having such
thought in mind who were pres
ent at Monday nights meeting
had those suspicious allayed as
the entire workings of the COM
mittee was spread before them
and they could plainly see that
the only object had been to
create a sentiment that would
promote harmony and good feel
ing among the candidates and
their friends. 1t is generally
conceded that the new primary
law is not a success when it
comes to solidifying party organ
izations, and also that it is not
a success in securing the best
men for the offices, as is demon
strated by members of the OPP
posing parties going into the pri-
maries with the purpose of NOM
inatirg the weakest candidate. as
has been done in times past.
For this reason every effort is
being made not only in the Dem
ocratic but the Republican, party
to have as few contests in the
primaries as possible, as they
are certain to leave some sore
spots which do not always heal
over by election day.
AS matters now stand it seems
that there will be plenty of can
didates and good ones to fill up
the ticket, and that there is little
danger Of more than one or two
contests being carried to the
primaries.
The candidates, then, can save
their energies for the final strug-
gle in November, which will be
entered into with a determina-
ton to win.

Golden Will Be Lively Place

Inc JEFFERSON County Repub-
leans will hold their convention
in Golden Saturday, August 5. at
the court house at 10 o'clock a.
M, to select Is delegates to the
state assembly and the same
number to the congressional and
judicial assemblies and also to
select candidates for the various
county offices to be voted on at
the primaries.
The Democrats will meet at
the same hour in Under hall.
Golden, for the same purpose,
all of which indicates that Col
den will be lively place on that
occasion.
The Republicans will have full
possession Of the court house on
that day, but the Democrats,
tiguratively will storm the castle,
as their forces will be entrenched
at the foot of the hill in an eff
fort to force an evacuation on
election day. No disturbance
is anticipated at the Democratic
convention, as everyone seems
to be in a harmonious mood, with
but one object in view and that
is to win.
The outlook for the Republi-
cans, however, is not so promis-
ing, as there is some dissatisfac-
ton over administrative affairs
and there is likely to be a num-
Der of contests. Again, the
Progressive element is expected
to inject little pep and I'M
less they are recognized with
some of the places on the ticket,
may start something. 1t will be
a hard matter to pacify them
with offices without breaking
away from the traditional second
term system.
The Vivian Machine is usually
found well oiled and in good
working condition, and any op-
position to it is likely to be flat
tened out with the original
steam roller process. so that as
far as the convention is concern
ed, the leaders know now, prac-
tically, what the outcome will be.
They cannot, however. foreteIl
the result of the November cleo
ton.

The News hopes to see the day when there will be no stories of crime to print, nor murder trials to report. It is idealist enough to wish to see all the pages of current events bright pages. The doings of a busy and a happy world following the pursuits of peace is more pleasing than world at war. A true history can contain no blank pages. A newspaper is a history of current events. Good things have hap pened in our particular section during the year about to close, many of them. Some bad things have also occurred, bad to the point of tragedy.
