Lid To Be cIamped Tighter.

Charleston. w. Va. January S.-The
prohibition laws In West Virginia will
be more stringently enforced than ever
before, as a result of the action of the
United States Supreme Court to-day
In declaring constitutional the Webb
Kenyon law and the amendments to the
Yost law in this state prohibiting the
importation In interstate commerce of
liquor for personal use, according to a
statement issued tonight by Fred o..
Blue State Tax Commissioner.
For two years and a half this state
has been restrained by reason of the
pending suits and the questions involv
ed therein" the statement says:
From this time on more vigorous
efforts will be made than have ever
been made in this state before, and IL
is now fairly and squarely put up to the
Legislature to enact such laws as viii
fully carry into effect the wishes of
the people OF this state as expressed
by them in the ratification of the pro-
hibition amendment in 1912.
This decision will mark a change in
the legislature OF all states. No longer
can the Legislature of any state refuse
to legislate upon the ground that such
legislation may involve Federal objec-
tions. for the reason that all OF these
objections row are swept away"

HITS LIQUOR HARD
uPHoLDs WEBB LAW AND WEST
VIRGINIA STATUTE PRoHIB-
lTlNo SHIPMENT.

Washington, January SIN the most
sweeping OF all decisions upholding
prohibition laws the Supreme Court to-
day upheld as constitutional and valid
the Webb Kenyon law prohibiting ship
ments of liquor from wet" to dry
territory. 1t also sustained West Vir-
ginia's recent amendment to her law
prohibiting importation in interstate
commerce Of liquor for personal use.
After having been vetoed by Presi-
dent Taft, who held 1t unconstitutional,
and having been repassed by Congress
over his veto the law was sustained by
the Supreme Court by a vote of TO @.
Leaders OF the prohibition movement
declare II is in their fight second only
in Importance to the proposed consti-
tutional amendment.
Lawyers for liquor interests who
heard the decision to-day admitted 1t
upheld and applied the law ''in It's
fullest sense"
Power Over Liquor Settled
'The all-reaching power OF govern
ment over liquor is settled" said the
Chief Justice in announcing the de-
cision. 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. Con-
gress exerted power to coordinate
the national with the state authority

ment on the 'ourt's decision:
The statcs now may prohibit the

 be nearly strengthened. Wilson street also claimed attention as this street ftas not yet been accepted by the city
