since that time only such wines,

percolated into this arid state as
were personally conducted. The de-
cjsion of the highest court continues
this state of affairs in conclusive
fashion, by holding constitutional the
Webb-Kenyon law, designed to pre-
vent liquor shipments from wet to
dry" states, and the West Virginia
prohibition amendment prohibiting
citizens from receiving liquor for per-
sonal use shipped by common car
rier in interstate commerce.
The federal tribunals decision was
made by Z to vote, Justice Nc
Reynolds concurring in a separate
opinion while Justice Brandeis and
Justice Holmes filed dissenting
opinion.
THE all-reaching power of govern
ment over liquor is settled said the
chief justice. There was no intention
Of congress to forbid individual use
Of liquor. The purpose Of this act was
to cut out by the roots the practice
Of permitting violation Of state liquor
laws.
We can have no doubt that con
gress has complete authority to pre-
vent paralyzing of state authority
Congress exerted power to CO.
ordinate the national with the state
authority.
Under the Webb Kenyon act there
is no power in interstate commerce to

other to enable it to be used in any
way prohibited by the state"

Clark Distilling Company asked for
an Injunction to compel the carriers
TO receive a shipment Of gallon of
alcohol consigned to citizen in Par
sons, w. Va. The state OF West Vir-
ginia had itself made a party to the
SUIT in which Judge Rose handed
down a decision granting the dis

In January, 1915, the United States
court of appeals in a case sent up
from one of the counties of West vir-
ginia analogous to this case decided
exactly contrary to the Maryland
judge, who soon after called together
the counsel in the case for a reargu-
ment. and in courtesy to the higher
judiciary reversed his previous judg-
ment. The attorneys for the Clark
Distilling Company Immediately APP
pealed from Judge Roses court to
the supreme court Of the United
States where a first argument was
made in May 1915.
At this time no law existed in the
state of West Virginia which prevent
ed carrier from taking liquor into
the state. An Interpretation of the
West Virginia law as it then stood,
which would permit shipment into
the stae from wet territory appeared
foregone conclusion. Probably
realizing this an extraordinary SEES.
sion OF the West Virginia legislature
was convened and an amendment
adopted in June, 1915, to the original
Yost prohibition law, making it
crime for a common carrier to take
any liquor consigned to citizen or
citizens of West Virginia and crime
for the consignee to receive the Ii
quor.
Special Session.
Shortly thereafter, at the request
of counsel for both parties in the
suit, the supreme court restored the
case to the docket from a reargument
for the reasons, first, that the West
Virginia Legislature had amended the
prohibition law and decision cover
ing the case to date was desired and.
secondly, because one of the justices
had died and Mr. Justice Brandeis
had been appointed his successor in
the interim.
A reargument was held in Washing
ton November s, 1916, and it was ON
this presentation of the case that yes
terday's decision was made. The de-
cision virtually leaves the question
OF the shipment of liquor to the yari-
Gus states and holds legal the West
Virginia law which, therefore, makes
u incumbent upon the citizens of this
state to journey to the nearest wet"
territory to crafty their desire and
bring back with them liquor in such
quantity as the law allows for per-
sonal use.
The state of West Virginia was
represented in the case Fred @.
Blue, prohibition commissioner. and
the James Clark Distilling Company
by Walter Capper and J. Philip Ro-
man, of Cumberland, and Lawrence
Maxwell and Jos. F. Clayton. of Gin
cinnati. the latter two representing
the interests of the National Whole
sale liquor Dealers.
