VIRGINIA JUDGE
This Decision Upsets Sup
posed Dry Law Of
Congress

dranted that the decision of the
Federal judge in West Virginia who
held that a citizen of that state might
under the local statute, bring in
quart of alcoholic beverage each
month for personal use, is sustained
by the Supreme Court of the United
States "a situation of interest Is ere
ated in Ohio. Through separated
brethren it Is learned that the or
ganized temperance forces through
their leaders rejected a proposed form
OF prohibition amendment absolutely
preventing the manufacture, sale i'm
portatfon or expectation of distilled
or fermented liquor in Ohio In
stead there was adopted one which
provides that it may be brought ii,
for medicinal, commercial and sacra-
mental purposes. Through the inter-
probation of the Reed amendment,
so-called, to the war measures in
Congress. all states having 'prohibi-
ton laws were made bone dry" as
the illuminating expression has it. In
the Preliminary discussions of the
pending amendment both sides to the
controversy have assumed as settled
that If adopted it will mean the total
exclusion of alcoholic beverages from
the state and is being alternately used
as a stimulant and a. deterrent. The
learned West Virginia jurist holds
that the Reed amendment applies only
to interstate commerce in. LIQUOR. but
does not contrayene the right of in
state transportation for. personal use.
1t would follow. therefore, that If this
view is supported by the Washington
judges and prohibition is adopted In
Ohio, the terrors of Sahara would not
befall the bibulous. They would be
able to secure, through extra efforts,
it is true "a continuing supply of the
material sought Then Ohio would
become one of the galaxies of states
which are quart dry and not bone
dry."-CincinaatisT

had helped them. She said she had
nothing to regret, no complaint to
make, and that If she had it all to do
