ACT IS CONSTITUTIONAL
Anti-Saloo:l League Officials in
Court jSrief Contend It Pro-
hibits Beer and Wine.

In a brief filed in the United States
district court of New York April 23

sci of the Anti-Saloon League OF
America, aad Robert G. Davey of the
New York league it is contended that
the war prohibition act is constitu-
tional. and it prohibits all beer and
wine from being manufactured and
sold"
The attorneys also say in the brief
that the enforcement Of war prohi-
bition is not affected by the power Of
Commissioner Roper of the internal
revenue bureau to collect liquor tax
or to define what is intoxicating
liquor Possession of the liquor
stamp and the payment Of the liquor
tax, says brief, '.is evidence Of crimi-
nality on the part Of the liquor
dealer" F
1.-The war prohibition act" says the
brief, shas a reasonable relation to
the recognized authority of Congress
tc support the Army and Navy. 1t
concerns the essentials to an adequate
support Of the Army by preventing
the waste Of food. fuel, transportation
facilities and man power used In the
and other Intoxicating liquors"
The brief quoted the war prohibi-
tion act to the effect that beer wine
and other Intoxicating malt or vinous
liquor" shall not be sold after June
80, and cited federal and state laws
to prove that this included beer with
out reference to it's alcoholic content.
1t set forth that the war prohibition
act remains in effect until demobiliza-
ton terminates. and that Congress is
the only body authorised to amend or
repeal the law before that time.

We are building with men for the fu-

There Is never q ship on the ocean bu+
brings new face to our doors.
They come with their women and chill
dren. frightened and pale and OPP

And we that are lovers Of freedom
must teach them the things that
are best.
We must take them and shape them
and mold them until they are ono
with us all:
We must teach them our tongue and
our customs il never our flag is to

We must train them to honor Old
Glory; they must learn what it
means to be free;
J Tney must love this great land as wa

Sweet laughter must ring in their

They must find the contentment ri

We are building a nation of free man
and out of each alien breed
Must come an American people that

KENTUCKIAN Wins
A HIGH PLACE.
Melvin A. Traylor Has Gained
Position at the AGE Of
Forty.
REARED NEAR COLUMBIA.

dent of the First Trust and Saw
ings Bank of Chicago, an institu-
ton with s75,O 100000 of resour-
ces, is a Kentucky boy and never
saw railroad train before he
was 20 years of old, are facts in
an amazing life-history little
known among the people of his
own State.
At the age of 40 he is identi-
fled as one of the leading bank
ers of the Middle West, and &C.
centuating his youth in arriving
at such a position of eminence is
the fact that he has been in the
banking game less than fifteen
years.
Mr.. Traylor is well known in
Louisville among the banking
fraternity, and through his for
mer connection with the Chicago
Cattle Loan and Company and
the Livestock National Bank he
is acquainted among the live
stock men, but the general bust
ness public is not familiar with
his sensational rise as banker.
NATIVE OF ADAIR COUNTY.
Mr.. Traylor was born on a
farm near Breeding, in Adair
county, near Columbia, on Oc-
tober II, 1878, and still cherishes
his birthplace, as his father,
James M. Traylor, was born,
lived his 65 years and died in the
same room. Alternating farm
work with attendance at the
Breeding school three to five
months in the year. he crarmed
for a teachers examination and
won a first grade certificate in
May 1897.
Il have often thought" said
Mr.. Traylor, in commenting on
this event, may the good Lord
help the children Of the country
| if the average of the teachers
are not better qualified to assume
direction Of their youthful minds
than was at that time"
Working for an uncle on Gro
Gus creek at so cents a day,
teaching at Nell, KY, selling
patent monkey wrenches to La
rue county merchanta, and en-
largements of family portraits
for Chicago house in Adair
county were some of the jobs he
tackled before he emigrated to
Hillsboro, Tex. From this time
on Tarylor's life was one acct
dent of fate after another.
HIS FIRST TRAIN RIDE.
When he boarded the train at
Campbellsville in December.
1893, for Texas he began the first
train ride of bis life. The train
arrived late at Hillsboro. and
Traylor was afraid to leave to
hunt for a lodging place at night
so he begged sleeping quarters
in the day coach from the por-
ter.

boro job. Then the passion for
travel seized him and he made
ten-day rides to the Pacific coast
on hog trains, cumming" his
way back.
Strange as it may seem, it was
Mr.. Traylor's study of the law
that led his entrance into bank
ing. While still in Adair county
he read law at odd moments in
the office of Judge James Gar
nett, father of the former At
torney General of Kentucky,
who is now practicing in Louis
vile. Judge Garrett well recalls
Traylor's borrowing of law books
for home reading. In the law
Traylor's good fortune stuck
with him and and he became &C.
quainted with an attorney in
Hillsboro, Tex, who is now one
of the Justices of the Texas Su-
preme Court. A few years of
reading led to license to practice
and position as Assistant Coun-
ty Attorney of Hill county.
HOW HE ENTERED BANKING.
While practicing Mr.. Traylor
got a case involving a cattle loan,
and in order to plead it success
fully he was obliged to study the
banking business as it related to
cattle. This experience made
him turn to banking as a means
of earning a livelihood, for he
was having the usual beginners
success in law. That decision
ended his straying through var
ious fields of endeavor. After a
good friends, who knew how to
beat the cotton market, induced
him to enter deal tthieh wiped
out all of his savings, Mr.. Tray
Tor went to work for a bank in
Malone, Tex, in 1905.
/
In short time he was cashier,
and two years later was made
cashier of the Citizens National
Bank Of Ballinger, Tex, and
when that institution combined
with the First National Bank of
the city he was elected president.
Mr.. Traylor became an expert on
cattle loans and his fame spread
to the larger markets, st. Louis
calling him in 1911 to- become
vice president of the National
Stockyards, Bank of East St.
Louis.
GOES TO CHICAGO.
In 1914 he was again called to
larger things and went to Chica-
60, becoming vice president of
the Livestock Exchange National
Bank, from which position he
was year advanced to the
presidency of that institution.
He was one of the organizers
and the first president of the
Chicago Cattle Loan Company,
which is closely affiliated with
the Livestock Exchange National
Bank, and which finances the
operations of reputable cattle

Three Auction Sales

The Banner office has been an
unusually busy shop this week,
| turning out sale bills for three
different auction sales besides
a nice run of other work.
The first one is the Ray Decker
sale which comes off OIL the 7th
of April. Mr.. Decker is not leav-
ing the country, or anything of
the kind, but merely aiming to
dispose of some stuff he don't
need. Among the 10 head of
horses he will offer for sale is a
pure bred Percheron stallion
which tips the scales at 1900, and
! is sure abeauty. He also is offering
for sale 81 head of cattle and
some farm machinery.
Walter Woodley living north of
town is to conduct a big sale OH
April 9th, and will offer for sale
% head of horses, 88 head of fine
cattle, besides some farm imple-
ments. Mr. Woodley does not in
tend to leave Montana, which
some may think because he is
holding sale, but will move over
to the Weldon country where he
has a homestead.
The third sale is that of John
'Hajny, living near the Romine
ranch. Owing to his wife's health
Mr. Hajny announces that he will
leave for the West, probably out
in the Yakima valley, Washington,
and is offering IA head of horses.
and seven colts, 3 milk COWS, ma
chinery and all household goods
for sale. They will leave soon as
they hold their sale, which will be
on April 10th.

Spring Surprise in Court by
Moving to Quash Charge.

When the case Of Dunk Peterson,
charged with violating the bone-dry
law, was called in the United States
branch of the Police Court yesterday
afternoon attorneys representing the
defendant sprang a surprise on Judge
Hardison when they made motion to
quash the information. contending
that the Reed amendment-theb bone
dry LAWS unconstitutional, being in
violation of section 8 Of article l of
the Constitution "to regulate COM
merce among the several states" The
further contention was made that the
Reed amendment does not provide for
search and seizure of intoxicants
brought into the District of Column
bia; that liquor is a legitimate article
of commerce and a necessity, and that
any law that prohibits the importa-
ton of liquor into the District of
Columbia for personal use through
any means Of transportation or car
riage is unconstitutional.
Judge Hardison took the matter
under consideration to enable him to
look into the authorities.
