B0NE-DRY LAW IS
STRONGLY UPHELD
SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED
STATES IN EMPHATIC Lam
GUAGE 1T Is MOST C0NSTITU-
TI0NAL.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 17.-With a
decision upholding the Idaho prohi-
bition law, the United States supreme
court gave an opinion today which
may be one of the most far-reaching
victories for bone dry" conditions yet
recorded.
1t was held that citizen has no
constitutional right to possess liquors
for his personal use if a state wishes
tc forbid it.
Justice Reynolds, who gave the
courts opinion, held that state has
lower absolutely to prohibit manufac-
ture, gift, purchase, sale or transpor-
tation of intoxicating liquors within
its borders without violating the con-
stitution."
I'VE further think" be added, ''it
clearly follows from our numerous
decisions upholding prohibition legis-
lation, that the right to hold intoxi-
eating liquors personal use is not one
of the fundamental privileges of a
citizen of the United States hich no
state may abridge.
A contrary view would be incom-
patible with the undoubted power to
prevent manufacture, gift, sale pur-
chase or transportation of such arti-
cles-the only feasible way of getting
them. An assured right of possession
would necessarily imply some ade-
quate method to obtain not subject to
destruction at the will of the state"

This action on the part of protestant
Christians in Jana has been precipi-
tated by the transference of the gov
ernments department of religion from
the home department to the depart
ment of education. 1t has always been
matter Of debate as to whether the
Shinto cult is religion or not, but
many of its ceremonies have dis
tinctively religious character and as
snch the enforcement of them in
school and at patriotic ceremonies is
gelt by Christians to be an infringe
ment of religious liberty.

miles, when she hardly was visible to
the steamer without glasses. Pre-
