1t is reported that the company
having the Government contract for
printiogsenvelopes has gone in the
hole 100000 on their recent con-
tract, and the nerve of this concern
is now exhibited in a movement for
legislation to reimburse them for
their loss. That would be a prece
dent for this Government to set at
this time-reimburse contractors
who butt in" and take work at
prices that would starve union labor
and drive independent industry out
of business with an understanding
that the Gov eminent would save
them if they suffered a loss, The
business men of the United States
can buy their own envelopes or al
least pay for printing on same if the
Government will require them to do

The farm is the most profitable
place of all to raise poultry and
ninety-five per cent of the poultry
products of the nation are produced
on farms. Prices on poultry are
going to be high enough this year,
all the way through. to yield good
profit and every farm wife who
raises an unusually large amount of
poultry will not only be doing a
patriotic thing but will also be
doing a financially profitable thing

Some were wheeling wheelbarrows
ard some were getting away in their

them. One Of the worst sights I saw
was an old grey haired woman with
a little girl on her back and little

Opinion Is Returned by Supreme
Court To-day at the

tBY UNrTEp PRESS ]


INDIANAPOLIS, IND, June
28.-The Indiana prohibition law
today was held constitutional by
the state supreme court. The law
went into effect April 2 and the
court decision moved that the sa-
looms and breweries must remain
closed.
The court handed down its decision
in the suit brought by the Cook Brew
ing Co. of Evanville. and other liquor
dealers Of that city which asked that
local authorities be restricted from en-
forcing the law.
Reverses Lower Court.
The circuit court held the act was un-
constitutional and issued an injunction.
The higher court today reversed the
lower court. All judges except John
Spencer. Evansville. concurred in the
decision That the state constitution
gives the legislature power TO enforce
police regulations in the state and
passage of a prohibition is merely car
rying out these powers was the stand
taken by the drys.
lit held that the contention Of the at
torneys for the liquor interests that the
law should be held Unconstitutional on
a ruling Of the supreme court III 1855
when a similar law prohibiting traffic
in liquor was declared unconstitutional.
was groundless.
Another argument Of attorneys for
the brewery was that the title Of the
Prosecution to Follow.
Immediately following the announce
nent Of the supreme courts decision
L S. Attorney Slack stated that he
would Immediately start prosecution
Of persons who have been violating the
federal laws by transportation or liq-
uor from wet to dry territory.
Slack announced that he had been
gathering evidence pending the an
nouneenent OF the supreme courts de
cision. He declared that Jenersons-
Vile and New Albany would be the
hrst places cleaned up.
The decision said:
There Is no provision OF the con-
stitution which has been pointed out
which would prohibit passage OF laws
protecting the health, morals and well
fare Of the people in connection with
the liquor traffic"
1t held that the constitution gave
the legislature police powers and the
passage OF the prohibition law is mere
" an exercise OF these powers.
