SUPREME COURT DECIDES STATE OF
 l ARKANSAS NOT BONE DRY
Hundreds of Convictions in Lower Court Throughout the State Were Tn Conflict
 With Interpretation

Bringing liquor into the State is not in violation of the bone dry law, contrary to rulings of vari ous courts throughout the State, under which hundreds of per sons have been fined, according to a decision of the Arkansas Supreme Court, handed down Monday
 The decision held that per son could personally bring liquor into the State, and that it did not matter, insofar as the bone dry law was concerned, whether the liquor was for personal copsump. tion or for sale If for sale, the court pointed out, convictions for illegal sale of liquor could be ob. tained under the Statewide pro hibition law. If for personal use the act did not constitute an of- fense under either law.
 ONE OTHER LEGAL BARRIER
 One legal barrier, the Webb Kenyon law, a Federal statute, prohibiting the taking of intoxi- eating liquors into dry" terri tory, still stands bar to prevent the importation of liquor. Fed eral agents, however, have been ordered not to search suitcases for liquor.
 < The bone dry law, the Su- preme Court held. prohibits the transportation or shipment of liquors into the State. The checking of t"unk containing liquor swould come under the head of violating the law, it was pointed out, under the courts decision, as it would constitute a , shipment.
 The decision was based on a conviction of A. P. (Tony) Rivard of Hot Springs. convicted in the Garland Circuit Court of bring ing liquor into the State The Garland Circuit Court instructed the jury that if Rivard brought the liquor into the State to sell
The Carlisle independent., 1918-02-07

he violated the bone dry law, but that if he brought it in for per sonal use he did not violate the law. The Supreme court, how ever, ruled that neither consti tuted an offense, but that if Ri ward had liquor for sale he could be reached under other statutes.
 HUMPHREYS DISSENTS
 The courts decision, handed down by Justice Hart, was con cured in by all justices with the exception of Justice Humphreys. The decision, in part, follows:
 Other States have forbidden entirely the introduction of in. toxicating liquors within their borders. Such States have en acted statutes not only prohibit ing carriers or other persons from bringing liquors into the State or delivering them to per sons there but have forbidden persons from bringing into the State intoxicating liquors for their own personal use.
 
 In all statutes we have exam ined when it is intended to pro hibit any person from introduc- ing liquors into the State, the language of the State has ex- pressly forbidden such persons from bringing Intoxicating liq- uors into the State.
 LIMITATION OF STATUTE
 It will be observed that the section uses the words, to ship or to transport into, or deliver ip this State It would seem that the words to ship or to trans port would include delivery to the consignee by the initial car rier in person, and that the words to deliver were meant to place the ban of the statute upon any transfer company or person who should undertake to deliver to the consignee the intoxicants after they had arrived at the place of destination.
 The concluding part of Sec tion 1 is for the purpose of har- monizing sections of the act and allowing the carrier or other per- son to transport or to deliver into the State wine for sentimental
The Carlisle independent., 1918-02-07

the State, there are other stat utes as we have already pointed out, dealing with this phase of the question.
 It follows that the court erred in telling the jury that the defendant would be guilty if he brought the intoxicating liquors within the State for the pnrpose of selling them after he had brought them here. ."-Arkansas Democrat.

purposes or alcohol for medici. nal or mechanical purposes un der provisions of Section 1 of this act. Other States have sec tions similar to that of Section of our statute, and conclude with the words. or other intoxicating liquors is intended by any other person interested therein to be received, possessed, sold or in any manner used in violation of any law of this State.
 OTHER STATES STATUTES
 Whether in the form used in our statute or in the form just quoted, the object of the conclud- ing part of this section is to rec ognize the right of the carrier or other person to transport or to deliver intoxicating liquors in ac cordance with other provisions of the act. For instance, in sev- eral of the States there is anoth- CT section which allows a person to have shipped, transported or delivered to himself in the State from point without the State a limited quantity of intoxicating liquor within given time.
 The concluding part of a sec tion in the language just quoted or language of similar import is to allow the transportation into and the delivery in the State to a consignee as provided in other sections of the act. So as we al ready see the concluding part of Section of out statute allows carriers or other persons to transport into and deliver in this State to the consignee liquors in accordance with Section IF of the act.
 THE COURTS CONSTRUCTION
 We think the construction we have placed upon the statute is borne out by the plain language used in it, and we are of the opin ion that person who personally brings intoxicating liquors into the State for himself does not come within the prohibition of the State. If he uses them in vi olation of the law ot keeps them for the purpose of selling them after he has brought them into

the general agreement to be made
among the nations must include sat
isfactory settlement of the question
of the freedom of the seas and a
league of nations.
The President now goes to England
to continue the discussions there along
the same lines as those he had with
the representatives of France and
Italy, which the Presidents advisers
describe as having been satisfactory

the honor bestowed upon him by the

CAT RANCH PROSPECTUS.

A prominent promoter in Mime.
apolis recently issued a prospectus
setting forth the strong features
of the Minnesota Cat Ranch as a
medium of investment, as COM
pared with automobile, oil and
mining Stocks or Rper cent pre-
ferred bonds of a cranberry ranch,
viz: J:'|S~' '. >. '"'
e knowing that you are always
interested and open for investment
in a good live business proposition,
I take the liberty Of presenting
to you the following plan for a
Minnesota cat ranch, in which I
know you will take a lively inter-
est. The object of said company
is to operate a large cat ranch in
or near Mendoza, Mimi. where
land can be purchased for the pur-
pose.
"The intention is to start, with
one million cats. Each cat will av-
erage IL kittens a year. This will
give 10000. 900 kitten skins a year
to sell at the average price of 80
cents a piece, making a revenue Of
about $4,000 day, gross. A man
can skin 1873 cats per day at So.
It will take 200 men to operate this
ranch, and therefore the net prof
it's will be about $4,000 per day.
"To feed cats a rat ranch will
be started on the adjoining prop
erty. Rats multiply four times as
fast as cats. Starting with one
million rats there will be four rats
day for each cat. The rats will
be fed on the carcasses Of the cats
from which the skins have been
taken, giving each rat one-fourth
of a cat per day.
1t will thus be seen that the
business will be self-acting and
automatic all the way through.
The cats will eat the rats and the
rats will eat the cats and the
stockholders will get the skins. -

GUBERNATORIAL SITUATION
IN MINNESOTA.

Concerning the gubernat0rial
situation in Minnesota, Col. G. M.
Atkinson, of Hibbing, expresses
himself in his interesting way, in
the Mesaba Ore, as follows.
The gubernatorial candidacy Of
David Evans Of Tracy is more of
a serious thing than appeared at
the first 60 off, and notwithstand-
ing the pooh-poohing of the Burn
quist plunderbund, it is causing
that band Of political bushwhack-
ers any number of bad half hours,
with more to- come, and faster.
In the first place, Evans is one
Of the solid, staid, loyal and true
blue men of the state, and no
amount Of depreciating rot d.
rected at him by the plunderbund
newspapers and ranters will stick
He is as clean as a hounds tooth
and is beyond the usual political
tactics employed by the Repub-
lican gang that was successful in
the vicious, unpatriotic and brutal
undertaking Of handing Burnquist
the Republican nomination last
June.
That much for Evans personal
ity.
By his supporters it is claimed
that Evans will receive at least IS
per cent of the union labor vote
Of the state, because he has always
stood square with organized labor,
and with everybody else, for that
matter; that he will receive prac-
tically solid the 155, 1000 votes con-
trolled by the farmer organiza-
lions of the state because he is a
farmer and one who has always
treated squarely with his neigh
Dor; that he will receive the vote
of the Comstock Democrats-those
who are against Democratic candi-
date Wheaton, because he smells
Of the Lynch machine, which is a
machine that is working harder
for the reelection of Burnquist
than it is for the election Of
Wheaton. Then, in addition to the
vote mentioned, it is claimed that
there are many loyal and honest
Republicans about the state who
have repudiated the Burnquist
form Of government and who have
no faith whatsoever in the Lynch
crowd-their only hope, there
fore, is Evans.
Taken as a whole, it is the belief
of those who profess to, know,
that Evans is the most favored Of
the three gubernatorial candi-
dates.
