A "Personal Use" Schedule.

In the absence of specific declaration by the supreme court in its personal use decision. limit ing the quantity of intoxicating liquor citizens of this may import the slaking of their indi- vdual thirsts, leaving quite twilight zone within which boot -leggers may mingle indistingushabIy with honest citizens, Sheriff Harry Wheeler of Co., chise county. who has been active in the enforcement of the prohibition law, has fixed a limit on the volume of lubricants may bring in without dan ger of arrest: case of whisky, jug of wine and a dozen bottles of beer The most thirsty cannot reasonably complain that that is not a liberal though perhaps, not very well distributed allowance
 A case of whisky contains twenty four quart bot ties or six galons dozen bottles of beer ostensbly three gallons though not quite. The volume of wine in jug depends largely the dimensions of the jug. Speaking of jugs, if loaf of bread a jug of wine were bliss enow" for Omar the Tentmaker who gather not a total ahstaner what is the use of six gallons of whisky and nearly three gallons of beer in addition?
 The sherff's schedule greatly to his credit be- trays the fact that he does know much about alcoholic liquors those who make a personal use of them. The citizen who would order six gallons of hard liquor would have for beer or wine The schedule is discriminatory against the beer drinker to whom three gallons would be a mere drop in the bucket. He would be required have a standing order for shipment by every train and in of accident delay the part of the com mon carrier he would undergo positive suffering To the beer-drnking citizen a limitation of an al owance to three gallons a time would be pro- hibition in it's most violent and exoruciatng form Tantalus not condemned such torture.
 We would not however, suggest to Sheriff Wheeler increase in the beer allowance but rather q material reduction of the whisky allowance to ar amount that would put beer drinker whisky SuZZler terms.

The Single Term Plank.

As to the single term plank of the national demo- cratic platform the Bsbee Review observes Tt was the party and MT. Wilson that did the pledg- ing at Baltimore against the second term principle and if the party chooses to forego any pledge the kind in this case that is the party's and not Mr. Wilson's affair" This involves us in a more or less idle discussion of ethics, but not refrain from expression of dsapproval of the single term plank any plank limiting the number of terms a acceptable to the people may occupy the presidency.
 But, returning to the ethical question: think that the Review in the statement that the party was pledged and the president Only the members of the Baltimore convention and those who accepted the plank were pledged. The plank could not be binding upon succeeding convention upon any democrat who not present as dele gate who in some way did not endorse the plank MT Wilson did endorse it by his silent acceptance of the platform in it's entirety
 He could have absolved himself after his nomna- tion at any time before his election by decara- ton that he would not accept that plank His cleo lion, following such declaration would have been notice that the democratic party had not accepted 1t and that therefore, the plank of no force The republican national convention of 1908 declined

 Mir. Taft elected and in his election :he publican party expressed it's approval the amended platform. That MT Taft AFTER his election was less courageous and did not carry the platform as the people understood it. and brought upon him. self overwhelming weight Of popular indignation, is another matter
 The single term plank is plain that there can be misunderstanding. Long before the Baltimore convention it democratic doctrine MT. Bryan who wrote it into the platform without a murmur of dissent from any source had been preaching it for years. We have little doubt that if the plank could have been submitted to the democratic voters any time before the convention during the cam pagn four of five would have endorsed it earn cstly As democratic doctrine it ranked second only to the party belief in the immortality of Andrew Jackson. But as it was not submitted the party was bound. We have said that the members of the convention and those who accepted the platform bound by it. But of the former could give this plank force. The president alone could do that.
 It is that the plank looked rather to a con atitutional amendment limiting the service of the president to so that if MT Wilson should accept the nomination again he would violate the spirit rather than the strict letter of the plank but violation of the is violation of the other The latter has already been violated by the neglect of the president after than three years to and by the members of the convention to pro pose the legislation promised by the plank. If this or any other plank iE the national party platform is to be so dsregarded platforms to be mere Notc-catchng devices
