Editorial Comment
on Current Subjects
WHERE CONGRESS is SUPREME.

MhEItE CONGhESS 10 SCBiSEME,
From the New York World.
The act of Congress forbidding the
shipment of intoxicants into prohibit
ton states, now upheld by the SUI
preme Court of the United States,
was passed early in 1918 over the
veto of President Taft, who pro-
nounced 1t unconstitutional. In this
opinion he had the support of George
w. WIckersham, Attorney General,
and of Philander c. Knox, Secretary
OF State.
How lawyers so eminent could
reach conclusion which seven OF
the nine members of the court OF last
resort have rejected can hardly be
explained except on the theory that
they failed to grasp the issue in all
its aspects. They held that, as liquor
is a legitimate subject of Interstate
commerce, which is exclusively un-
der the control of Congress, to give
the States any authority in the mat
ter was to nullify the Constitution.
In this they evidently overlooked
the fact that they were considering
an act Of Congress and not State
law. The act of Congress was passed
to support State laws. BY that act
the power over Interstate commerce
which the Constitution recognizes as
sovereign was exerted. Interstate
commerce in itself has no sovereign
rights. The sovereignty is lodged in
Congress, and when Congress exer-
cised it in behalf OF local legislation
1t was the will of Congress and not
that of the State which became bind
ing.
As the power of Congress over in
terstate commerce has no constitu-
tional limitations. it is obvious that
it may be used to prohibit as well as
to regulate. If Congress had not act
ed in this case, no State could have
interfered with interstate shipments
of liquor before they reached their
consignee. Congress having acted.
the final authority in such matters
has spoken, and it is difficult 20 see
how great lawyers can have any con-
fusion of mind on the subject.
