PROHIBITIONS GREATEST VICTORY

The United States Supreme Court
Monday upheld the coastitutionality of
the Webb Kenyon law which was de-
signed to protect states which prohibit
the liquor traffic against violation of
their enactments from without, Under
the statute thus given the highest
judicial sanction common carriers are
prohibited from transporting, under the
sacred cloak Of interstate commerce,
liquor from wet" states into airy"
territory. 1t makes prohibition laws
as effective as is possible and will have
the result of actually drying up all
states that wish to be dry. BY the
same decision the Supreme Court gives
full effect to the West Virginia law
which specifically forbids citizens of
that state from receiving for personal
use liquor shipped into the states by
common carrier. If West Virginian
wants liquor he must go outside the
state for it himself. His personal lib
erty to drink liquor is not interferred
with, but liquor ceases to be an article
of legitimate commerce where a state
enactment outlaws it. Evasion will be
harder and violations of the prohibition
law will diminish to the vanishing point
in dry" territory unless the authori-
ties, local, state and national, conspire
to permit them, which is not likely.
We may now look for a tightening of
prohibition statutes in nominally dry"
states and for an increase in prohibition
sentiment where considerable amount
OF opposition has proceeded from a
widely held belief that prohibition
does not prohibit. On the other hand
some nominal prohibitionists who have
supported restrictions of the liquor
traffic that did not interfere with their
own ability, to secure beer and whisky
by the convenient expedient of ordering
it from without the state, will be fore
ed to test of sincerity. Most of them
will fall in line for genuine prohibition.
The discrimination legalized by the
compromise enactments that have pass-
ed in number of states of the South
and West for prohibition laws have
done much to bring those statutes and
the whole prohibition movement into
disrespect with the unthinking. But
the genuine and sincere proponents of
prohibition never have doubted the
right of state to protect itself by
laws of its own making would be eventu-
ally upheld and they have proceeded on
the theory that it were better to get
half loaf than none at all. Now they
can proceed to tighten up the status
by forbidding the liquor rations so many
state laws permit. That this will be
done is to be gathered from the fact
that nowhere that an attempt has been
made to modify any prohibition law has
it succeeded, and in number of pro-
hibition states the original laws have
been strengthened by subsequent enact
ment.

IMPROVES THREE
THOUSAND ACRES
Great Acreage in 1916 Put Under
Better-Paying Management
by Board of Forestry.

Some three thousand acres of private
forests and woodlots in this State are
going to be in better growing condi-
ton in 1917 than they have been in 1916,
or for very many years before, in fact
1t has just been learned from the Of
flee of the State Forester that the fore
going represents approximately the
area of State-improved, but privately
owned, lands which have been given
thorough, expert treatment by the
States foresters during the past twelve
months, and put in condition of actual
and financial revenues by no means
small.
This woodlot Improvement work has
been going on with accumulatiye force
for practically eleven years. The first
year, back in 1906, when State Forestry
was only lusty beginner. little of it
was done; little more of it was done
in each year following, until the
area of wooded lands put on a better
paying basis by the Board of Forestry
is numbered by the thousand-acres.
Each years impetus goes on to the
next, for new work is constantly
brought to the tore through preliminary
examinations made by the State
Forester or an Assistant to determine
if possible just what must be done for
individual bodies of woodland if thew
are promptly to be returned to the
healthy, growing condition for which
they were intended, and from which
they have steadily been getting farther
through unwise cutting and casual care.
Tracts given the preliminary examina-
ton, as it is called, numbered IN 1916
not far from 40, on some of them work
needed and therefore recommended has
already been done by the State, on its
cooperative terms of less than cost.
On the others, if active improvement
work is needed, it will be given them as
speedily as possible, and nothing ne
elected that it is possible for the Board
itself to do.
Such practical activities, important
as they are, do not by any
means comprise the full scope of the
Board Of Forestry's field of work.
Forest fires, at one time a source OF
incaIculable damage and loss to forests
and forest owners, have been consistent
ly reduced, and plans mapped out for
their further prevention and most
efficient control through 1917 No one
who has been witness to the progress
which State Forestry has made, already,
doubts that these plans will mature, and
everything possible done TO safeguard
the forest resources of the State. 1t
is unfortunate that they must con
stantly be SO protected from human
carelessness.
Investigations in the field of forest
uses haYe been undertaken and complet-
ed, and it is intended to promptly give
them to the public in the shape OF
yield and volume tables for Maryland
forests and the Individual trees that
make them up; practical Wood Waste

of producers and consumers, ard the
