SOME REALLY DRY STATES

Chicago, ILL.,, April 19-Before anti
liquor enthusiasts shout themselves
hoarse over the WebhLKenyon bill
let them look up just how many of
the "dry' states forbid the shipment
of liquor into the state. The Webb.
Kenyon bill might be a triumph for
the "drys" were there a set of really
dry states. But there are only five
where there is any provision '-1nst
shipment in, and these are unImp,rt,
ant states.
The Supreme Court decision grew
out OF the provision of the West Vir-
ginia law, which says that all ship
ments are forbidden. individuals NAV
carry in limited quantities for person
al use under certain restrictions.
Then there is Arizona where the law
provides that all shipments are for
hidden for beverage purposes. Wine
for sacramento use and alcohol fol-
scientific purposes are excepted. Ida
no allows no liquor to be shipped in
except alcohol for scientific, mechani-
cal, medicinal and religious purposes.
Oregon says that no intoxicating H.
quors shall be imported into the state
for beverage purposes.
p Now these four states are the only
ones that prohibit the shipment in of
liquors. Every other "dry" state is
open to the mail order whiskey game
just the same as before the Supreme
Court upheld the Webb-Kenyon law.
We find in this fact the reason
why the consumption of whiskey and
other liquors has not decreased with
the spread Of anti-saloon laws. We
finIdl for INSTANCE that the WE'LL
known prohibition states of Maine,
Kensas, Colorado, Arkansas, Iowa,
Michigan, North Dakota and Okla
homa place absolutely no restriction
on the shipment in of whiskey, beer
or wine i'm any quantities for indivi-
dual use. Alabama, Georgia, Missis-
sippi, North Carolina and South Caro-
lima, Washington and Virginia place
a limit on the amount that may law
fully be received, but the limit is
more than sufficiently liberal, as 1t
provides for enough assorted liquor
ito keep any reasonable individual
afloat.

PEARL HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

The contestants in the annual de-
bate of this school have been trained
to fine edge and are ready for the
great battle. The colors of this school
are cherry and white. The Affirmative
will be defended by Miss Tiny Clenden-
ming and Miss Mary Jackson, who will
wear the cherry The Negative side of
the question will be supported by Miss
Mabel McGavock and Miss Ruth Up
shaw, who will wear the white. AL
ready the entire student body is di-
vided between the contestants, each
pupil intending to wear the color Of
her favorite Enthusiasm runs high
and sentiment is divided as to who
will be the winners.
This is the first time that the pub
lie has had an opportunity to hear a
debate waged by all Pearl contestants.
Pearl has heretofore sent the mega
tive team away. But on account OF
flood conditions in Chattanooga, the
suspension of the schools for three
weeks and the consequent loss Of
time by the children from their stu
dies, Prof. Singleton, the principal OF
the Howard High School, deemed it
best to withdraw from the league for
this year. This caused Misses Upshaw
and MIcGavock to remain at home.
Preparation had gone so far however,
that the principal of Pearl decided not
to disappoint the Nashville public,
which has supported these debates so
Literally for the last four years, but
to hold local debate between his
own pupils. The debate will be given
exactly as 1t was prepared for the tri
angular debating league.
Pupils who have. heard the debat-
ers in their practice affirm that 1t will
be the most interesting, the most hot
ly contested forensic struggle ever
given in Nashville. The subject is one
that should enlist the interest Of ev-
cry negro in the city. Resolved, That
the formation Of a separate political
party would be for the best interest
of the Negro" Some things are said
that every Negro ought to hear.
The Graduating Class Meets
The Class Of 1917 will be the larg-
est in the history of the school. The
list of candidates sent in to the Sup
erintendent by Dr F. G. Smith, the
principal, numbers So. OF course It is
hardly possible that there will be no
failures. The 10 members Of the Jam
uary division have passed their ex-
aminations and unless some serious
misconduct occurs to cause them to
forfeit their right to graduation, they
will receive their diplomas. But the
SO in the June division have yet to
pass through the fiery ordeal Of a
final examination. Parents, take no.
tice and warn your children who are
candidates not to waste their time
