DECISION LOWERS
 BOOTLEG PRICE

Little Rock, Feb. 8.-No decision of
 the Supreme Court in many years has
 aroused so much interest as in the
 Bone Dry case, which throws the state
 wide open for the importation of li-
 quor in unlimited quantities, and hand baggage flor personal use" It is 1currently reported among those who
 profess to know that the price of boot lleg whiskey has fallen in the last week from $10 to $6 quart. The
 officers says that there will be great
 deal more bootlegging now, since it
 we'll be so much easier to get the liq-
 uor into the state
 There will probably be motion for
 rehearing, and that there is argu-
 ment on both sides of the proposition lis apparent from the following dis senting opinion by Associate Justice IHumphries:
 "I do not differ from my colleagues on the canons for the construction of statutes, but differ from them as to the meaning of the statutes in ques- Ftion under the rules of construction in- volved The construction of the major ity made delivery the gist of the of fense. Shipment into this state or transportation into this state is just as much the gist of an offense as de livery. Each Is clearly made an of fense under Section 1, of the Statutes There offenses are provided for in said section, to wit: To ship into the state, to transport into the state, or to deliver in this state to any pre- son, firm, or corporation within this state. It will be observed that the language is-"to ship or to transport into, or deliver to *. This state ment is in the alternative, and each act should be constructed as separate offense in order to give full effect to the statutes.
 "As I read it, the only exemption provided for is the right to ship, or deliver wine for sacra- mental purpose or alcohol for strictly medicinal or mechanical purpose. A reading of the whole act eonvinces me that the Legislature intended to pass a bone-dry law for the state of Ark ansas, and think the title of the act clearly imports the intention of the Legislature to pass such law. I do not think my construction runs count CT to any language used in the act For the reasons expressed I register my dissent from the opinion of the majority"

First, second and third prizes consist ing of up to the Minute" profess sional libraries will be awarded to the counties having the largest percentage of teachers in the parade.
 Judging from the early enrollments, and the enthusiasm manifested in diff ferent parts of the State, there will fully five thousand teachers attend this meeting. Little Rock will be ready, without fail, to take care of the Association as she has always done. The hotels will provide ample accommodations for the teachers-the of the various hotels already agreed that all teachers will be cared for during the meeting; so begin planning now to attend this great meeting.
 The Little Rock Board of Commerce has said that Little Rock will take care of the teachers. Every one who knows the Little Rock Board of Com merce knows that this is, Enough Said"
