RULING AS TO LIQUOR NOTICES
CIRCULATED IN DRY
TERRITORY.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 24-Solicitor
Lamar of the post office department,
in an opinion submitted to Postmas-
ter General Burleston, holds that
the federal statute excluding from
the mails going into dry territory pub
lications carrying advertisements OF
intoxicating liquors does not apply
to advertisements for the sale OF
liquors inserted by the government.
The question arose in connection
with an advertisement offered ia
papers announcing public auction
sale of liquors seized for violation
of the internal revenue law.
Solicitor Lamar cites the doctrine
supported by many decisions, tha
the state or the public is not to bl
considered as within the purviev
of statute unless expressly named
or included by necessary implication
or unless the statute is made fol
the public good the advancement
of religion and justice, and proven
ton of injury and wrong"
Mr.. Lamar holds that the statute
while intended as measure In thu
interest of the public, cannot be con
strued as expressing the though
and will of the people of the unite'
States as whole that the liquo
traffic is immoral or against tn
interests of the entire public. Tn
law, he says, is obviously a measur
designed merely to supplement tn
enforcement of whatever happens t
be the policies of the different states
