THE TEST CASE.

Many saloons will be closed in the next day or so which have been open since July 1, following the decision of Federal Judge Chatfield on the case of Stephen A. Winery who sold whiskey to a Federal agent on July in order to make a test of the vali- dity of the law. The case was framed" by the Connecticut Liquor dealers and was tried on it's merits, Decision adverse to demurrer was found by the judge and we are told that Mr. Winery faces a possi ble thou sand dollar fine and year in jail.
 The defendants demurrer stated that the law was void, in that the war was already over, that it was a violation of the Tenth Constitutional Am endment which reserves to states the right to control sale of intoxi- cants within the state, that, in adopt ing the Eighteenth Amendmen ent, Con- gress had no right to make liquor laws before January 1920, and that 1t was unCOnSllIullOuttt llo-Siii ltNIi CD it defined the period in which prohl- bition would be in effect beyond the terninat tion of the war, which was not within the rights of Congress, ac- cording to the defendant. These ob- iections were all over-ruled and the Wartime Prohibition act declared legal The test of the law as 1t re- lates to beer sales is yet to be made, though a similar one to the above is being worked out. Five other cases of alleged violators of the law will be tried
 Argum ents alleging the law to be unconstitutional in that it exceeded the authority of Congress now tha' the war is a thing of the past were thus denied and the much antiClpa ted and long expected decision has beer received. Liquor is gone, or going l fast, we may as we'll admit it cheer fully.

Clcmcnry to Court Martial Victims
 (NeW Y Ork Herald

Senator Cha hamberain's bill eXtend- ing general clemencN to soldiers, sail OTIS andmarines who have been court martialed during the war is the cul- imitation of the long fight against the present system Of administering mili- tary and naval justice. The Cham herlain bill provides that all court martialed men shall be restored to the COlOrs and their records shall stand unless they were convicted of crime equivalent to a felony. All fOrfeitures and allowances shall be paid and they shall be given honorable discharge A board of clemenCy is to be created if the bill becomes a law to review, re- wise or annul al Court-martial determi- nations since April $, 1917. Senator Cham berlain says that there were sen tences totalling 2S.000 years imposed by courts-martial during the war, and adds: 'The fact that the war depart ment has recommended the reduction of the sentences from 2S.000 years to 6,100. years is proof positive that the sentences were out of all proportion to the crimes
 Debate over the m easure. if it is re > ported, will be watch ed with much in terest not only by the len interest cd and their friends but by the entire army, and for that matter, by the whole country.

You all remember the Blackfoot buck who explained the increased cost of the wild huckle berries he picked in the mountains,
 Heap big war across big pond!" 6runted LO to a complaining customer
 The price of trawberries in Chicago and Vlclhity-and everywhere else, we tancy--opehed the season With a rec ord breaking price and stuck there to the end. The "heap big war" being over, the public was told that berry pickers. the chief item of cost in the production of this delicious fruit, were demanding fabulous wages.
 Let us see. The boys and girls working in a big berry patch not 12 miles from the citJ all demanded higher wages. Witft bushes and fal- tering tongues, they Es1<ed ? 1-2 cents instead of two for Picking a quart of berries.

CLOSING OF STORES.

 To the Editor of the New Britain
 Herald,
 Dear Sir:
 Would you please insert these few lines in your paper for the benefit of the public.
 There arc a number of stores in New Britain that advertise in the local papers to solicit the patronage of the people to their store.
 But when some come few min utes after 6 o'clock they find the doors locked and the salesmen in side will not open to accommodate them.
 Now there are many men that re- side in the outskirts of the city that have to work in the factory until o'CloCk-and then they hurry to these stores to purchase hardware or other needed material, which they wish to use in the evening, but the store is closed-and unable to pur- chase the needed article they are disappointed and delayed in their work: and left to wonder how they can purchase the goods without los ing time at the ia ctory, which they cannot afford to do.
 Now it seems reasonable that stores that solicit the patronage of working z men ought to be willing to accommo- date them at least half hour after 6 o'clock and both parties would have the benefit thereof,~
 Yours truly,
 JUSTICE TO WORKING MEN.

RECALLS KILLING ---
FROST IN APRIL
| o. B. Meskiman of 1112 Main street
in the course of q conversation witt
the writer this morning. described .
killing frost that occurred in Centra
Texas 46 years ago last night. which
ruined the agriculture of that section
Of the country. Mr. Meskiman was {
cotton planter in Robertson county a
that time and had 40 acres OF promis
ing young cotton that was aboslutel,
ruined by the freeze. The cold wav,
was unexpected and was almost with
out parallel in that section OF Texas
Hundreds of thousands of dollars
worth OF farm crops were destroye,
by it. and the cotton yield in that 10
cality was a complete failure that sea
son. For number OF years after
wards Mr. Meskiman devoted himsel
to the growing Of sugar cane. which b.
says is the most profitable and inter
esting line of agriculture in which n
ever engaged.
