LAWS BOTH OUTRAGEOUS
AND UNCONSTITUTIONAL

The more one looks into recent
acts Of congress in connection with
the liquor question the more outrag-
eous some Of them appear.
The act making bone-dry those
states which never had any intention
of being bone-dry but simply wanted
to prohibit the saloons and also the
manufacture and sale Of liquor with
in their " territory, is plainly un-
constitutional.
Congress has no right to amend
add or to take from the statute of a
sovereign state which is not In on
flict with the federal statutes or the
constitution of the United States.
The same faint OF unconstitution-
atty applies to the act prohibiting
papers which carry liquor advertising
from going through the mails into
prohibition states.
AS a matter of business or of
policy. the Bee doesn't care the ulti-
