In our announcement column
will be found the name of Hon.
W. B. Wilson, of Corinth, as a
candidate to succeed himself as
Railroad Commissioner from this
District. Mr.. Wilson was elect
to this office eight years ago and
has since filled the office to the
satisfaction of the voters. In
some matters recently it has not
been possible for the Commission
to do what it was their purpose
to do because of the fact that
the railroads were in the hands
of the government, but the
the showing made has been very
creditable and many people be-
lieve that the same members
who were in charge when the
present government muddle was
made should also be in charge at

PRESIDENT HAMPERING
ENFORCEMENT OF DRY
LAW, LEADER CHARGES

NEW YORK. July William n.
Anderson. State superintendent Of
the Anti-Saloon League, issued a
statement tonight indicating that that
organization did not look for enforce
ment Of the wartime prohibition law.
The Presidents statement that he
will DO away with the law entirely at
the earliest possible moment" said
Mr.. Anderson, will be taken by the
brewers as an implied invitation 10
violate the law in the interim.
The Presidents suggestion will
tend to paralyze the law enforcement

law and am sure that brewers
and dealers generally understand
that the tendency OF litigation
will be no protection against
prosecution tor offenses under the
law.
But with respect to whiskey,
brandy, and other distilled spirits,
wine and beer containing more
than pa per cent OF alcohol, and
other intoxicating malt or vinous
liquors the prohibition is beyond
controversy and but one course
Is open to the Department Of JUS
tice. All persons found selling
such liquors must be arrested and
prosecuted. The district at
torneys will cause warrants to
issue for ali offenders as to whom
evidence is furnished by the bu-
reau of investigation, the agents
OF the internal revenue bureau
OF the Treasury Department, local
officers or others, and the mar
shals and their deputies will
promptly serve such warrants.
With the cooperation OF local
authorities. it is believed that the
law can be made effective. For
this reason / call attention to the
fact that il is the duty of local
arresting officers to make arrests
for offenses committed in their
precincts whether the offense be
against the laws OF the State or
the laws Of the United States.
confidently expect the hearty CO.
operation OF local municipal au-
thorities and earnestly request
that all police officers be in
structed to arrest persons found
selling in violation of the war
prohibition act and to take such
persons before a United States
commissioner. when the district
attorney will cause warrants to
issue. Local officers should also
report to the United States at
torneys evidence of offenses not
committed in their presence.

Following is the statement issued
by Attorney General Palmer on en-
forcement OF the war prohibition law;
After today it will be unlaw-
full to sell for beverage purposes
any distilled spirit and any beer,
or other intoxicating malt or
vinous liquor, except for export.
This prohibition will continue I'M
der the terms OF the law until
the conclusion OF the present war
and thereafter until the termina-
ton OF rehabilitation" AS long
as the law thus remains in force
it must be ooeyed, and l intend
that the Department OF Justice
shall do its utmost to perform
the duty which the Congress
placed upon IL.
This law has been held to be
constitutional and valid by the
circuit court OF appeals sitting in
New York. 1t plainly makes un-
lawful the sale OF whiskey,
brandy and other distilled spirits
and wine. The only controversy
that has arisen is as to whether
the sale OF beer containing SO
little alcohol as not to be in fact
intoxicating is prohlolteu.
The Governments contention
has been that the act prohibits
the manufacture and sale of beer
containing as much as Il OF per
cent of alcohol But the interpreta-
tion~of the act is not free from
difficulty and / am endeavoring
to have the question settled by
the courts at the earliest possible
moment. My course with respect

per cent OF alcohol-which il is
claimed is not intoxicating-wil
