A DELusloN

TO the. Editor Ocala Banner:
You say Sin a recent issue OF your
PIPER:
- ~Prohibition, the Miami Herald
says, is outside the issue. The issue
In the proposed amendment is the
robbing the states of their police pow
Rrs. Does not the federal govern
ment divide honors on that already?
Are not the Illicit manufacturers OF
liquors now hunted down by federal
officers unmindful of the police pow
ers of the several states?"
The Herald will no doubt. il il
deems it worth while, answer your
questions in the negative, since no
other truthful answer can be given
them.
1t has been SO repeatedly said that
the imposition of a tax on intoXicat
ing liquor and the liquor business by
the federal government made it a
participant in the business, that some
have come to believe that it is a
fact. However. the number that be
iieves this is so few that the neces
sity of enlarging our lunatic asylums
is not yet apparent.
But, to your questions:
When this union was formed the
states granted to the United States
the power to levy and collect taxes
duties, imposts and excuses, for Ger
tain purposes and under certain linn
itations. BY virtue of this power the
congress has from the beginning i'm
posed taxes (called duties) on nearly
everything imported into this coun
try; on silks, wooden goods, shoes
etc. would it be sane to say that
the United States, by reason thereof
is engaged in the shoe business?) II
has also imposed taxes on occupations
lad industries carried on in this
country. Among the many are the
manufacture and selling of tobacco
and intoxicating liquors, on which a
heavy tax is imposed because these
are items that will bear the burden
with the least complaint from the con.
sumers.
During the war of 1865, the con.
gress required payment OF a tax to
enable one to engage in these bust
nesses. The payment OF this tax gave
the payer 70 authority whatever to
engage in the business within any
state. That was settled in January,
1867. by the supreme court of the
United States, after argument by such
lawyers as Mr.. Henry Stanberry, Mr..
William NJ Evarts AID others. Chief
Justice Chase delivered tae opinion,
having, among others. as associates.
Davis, Miller and FELL. The court
said: 81. That licenses under the act

ment for such licenses is only a mode
of imposing taxes on the licensed bus.
mess" etc.
Hence we perceive that the federal
officers, in hunting down illicit manu-,
facturers of liquor have no occasion to
be mindful OF the state law. because
they have concern Of them. Nor has
the state concern as to the federal
tax laws. Therefore, your idea of the
federal authorities dividing honors'
is a delusion. 1t is not the province
of either to enforce the laws of the

The Hague, Aug. HERMAN
newspapers are asking pointed ques-
lions concerning reverses in the west
and are caustic in their comment.
A Berlin dispatch to the Post of
Munich complains of the attempts to
conceal the truth from the people.
1t says this has done incalculable
harm and is largely responsible for
the public bitterness. The dispatch
adds.
1.-THE same day that Gen. Luden-
dorff confessed our strategic plans
had failed, Prince Henry of Prussia,
in a speech at Hamburg, said the
Turich attache had just told him he
considered the battle on the Marine
German victory. So the German
public may choose between Luden-
dorff and the Turkish attache. 1t is
painful to see private persons in
prominent positions like Prince Hen

manner at variance with the truth.

literature dropped by Italian last Fri

for failure to do so. There was
a wild scramble in the streets
FOR the pamphlets when they were
dropped. Some sold for as high as

minds the Viennese that since the
daring Italian flight they no longer
can consider themselves immune to
the horrors of war.

PROGRESS OF THE WAR.

The big battle started on the
western front month ago yester-
day goes violently on. After the
tide of battle turned on the fourth
day, the Allied armies swept, and
are sweeping, the Huns steadily back
toward Berlin. On sixty mile front
the Allied advance has reached at
some points a distance of more than
thirty miles. Every succeeding day
is marked by fresh victories, and the
end is not yet.
The effect of this sustained victory
can not yet be fully foretold. TIC
CAPTURE of square miles OF territory
is not of necessity of grear signifi-
canoe. An unbroken army retreat
ing to new ground may be able to
reform and again offer formidable re-
sistance. 1t is the number of the
enemy killed, wounded and captur-
ed the equipment taken, and the ex-
tent of morale disturbance, that make
I'D a real victory. In all OF these eie-
ments the Allies appear to have ac'
complished important results. II
appears that some seventy thousand
prisoners have been taken, and while
figures are not available, more thar
hundred thousand German soldiers
| muet have been killed and wound
ed since the battle opened. TIT
German commander is making fran
tic effort to withdraw his army,witf
the least possible loss in men, to
shorter line that will require les
men for it's defense. In the mean
time he has been forced to throw
Into action the greater part OF his re
lseryes that he can ill-afford to use
The central fact emphasized in thi
battle is that at last the Allies hav
the stronger force of man power, an
the effect on German morale is al
ready apparent. Splendid as Tn
victory is, il is too much to hope tina
the end is in immediate sight. Tn

crime than at any former time in

cases on the Circuit Court docket,
and few criminal cases of any kind
await disposition by the court. The

of the time. This condition is due
in a large measure to the reduction
of the use of whisky, and to the Wig
