CAN LEGALLY
WINOUP War
Liquor Decision Balks
Peace by Congress
Resolution.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.
Especial to The Argus.)

Washington, d. c.. Dec. 1.-THE
war is still on. There can be no
peace until the president of the
United States proclaims peace and
this he need not do until treaty of
peace Is ratified by the United
States government and accepted by
foreign governments. The presi-
dent is the sole Judge of the prop
er moment for the issuanc Of his
proclamation Of peace.
y These are the big points which
entirely apart from a nationwide
interest in the liquor question
were deduced from tie decision of
the supreme court of the United
States. So absorbed were most OBJ
servers in endeavoriEg to discov-
er whether or not the country
would be on a wet or dry basis that
the plain speaking Of the unani-
nous decision Of the supreme court
on matters affecting the status Of
the peace treaty itself did not have
its full effect until today when the
words Of the court were carefully
digested by official Washington.
Purposely Injeetedl
1t isn't possible. of course, to in
quire into the purposes which the
supreme court had in mind but
there were many observers who
thought they saw an intent on the
part of the court at this critical
moment in the nations history to
set at rest the confusion which has
existed as to whether or not the
war ended with the. armistice or
with subsequent acts Of the execu-
tive himself. The portion OF the
decision which attracted most at
tention was this sentence: "In the
absence Of specific provision to the
contrary, the period OF war has
been held to extend to the ratifica-
tion of the treaty of peace or the
proclamation OF, peace.
From the fact that other stat
utes concerning war activities con-
tain each specific provision for
determining when 1t shall cease to
be operative and from the alleged
ahgence Of such provision here, i,
~ argued that the term 'conclus-
ion of the war should not be given
its ordinary legal meaning; that
instead it should be construed as
the time when actual hostilities
ceased or when the treaty Of peace
was signed at Versailles on June
2S. 1919. by the American and Ger
man representatives, or more gen
orally. when the actual war emerg'
ency ceased by reason of our com
plete victory and the disarmament
OF the enemy, coupled with the de.
mobilization of our army and the
closing Of war activities. or when
the declared purpose Of the act Of
conserving the man power of the
nation and to increase efficiency in
the production of arms. munitions
ships. food and clothing for the
army and navy shall have been
fully satisfied.
Construction Not Warranted.
Il But there is nothing in the
Words used to justify such con-

ing against enactment Of the Cum

vision Of the bill, Mr.. Gompers said :

ACT TO make
ILLINOIS DRY
ISSUSTA|NED.
Supreme = Court Upholds
All but Confscation
of Trucks.

Springfield, ILL.,, Dec. 1.-THE
supreme court today held the search
and seizure act constitutional in all
its major sections. That portion
relating to the confiscation OF
trucks engaged in carrying liquor
was held invalid, but the other sec
tions of the act stand.
Came Up on Appeal.
The search and seizure act came
before the supreme court on an
appeal from the McHenry county
circuit court by Harvey Marquis.
who was convicted of transporting
liquor containing more than two
and one-half per cent of alcohol In
violation of the act passed by the
51st general assembly to enforce
prohibition in dry" territory.
Destruction of the truck which
Marquis is alleged to have used to
transport the beer was held by the
court to be unconstitutional. In
ruling upon the destruction Of the
truck and its cargo of beer the
court said:
Cannot Destroy Property.
"Our conclusion is that the pro-
vision of the search and seizure act
for the destruction Of the intoxi-
eating liquor and other property
seized under the order Of the court,
without providing that notice shall
be given to the owner or to the per-
sons interested in the property does
not afford due process Of law and
is a violation of the constitution.
The statute having provided no law
full procedure for condemning prop
erty, the court was without author
ity to make any such order for
that purpose"
UpAelAs High Schools. -5y
The courA also upheld the valid
| ity Of the act validating community
high schools created under an act
which the court held invalid. I'VE
hold the curative act Is valid" the
court said In deciding the case, 81
appeal from Cass county. All
bonds issued under the old act a-e
now valid.
New Trial for Strause.
A new trial for Edgar A. Strause.
Peoria banker, convicted OF the
murder of Berne M. Meade. was o.
dered. The finding was reached on
evidence that the bailiff had acted
improperly and on faulty instruc-
tions Of the Judge.
Hits Bridge Tax.
The court ruled that the st. Louis
Electric Bridge company cannot be
compelled to pay $24.850 taxes as
sessed against its capital stock by
the state board Of equalization in
1917.
The Madison county court held
the assessment excessive, and its
judgment is affirmed by the su-
preme court.
! Relative to the St. Louis Mer.
chants Bridge company appeal on
the same grounds, the court 1re-
versed the judgment Of the Madison
county court as to the tax OF 1917
and affirms as to the taxes Of 1917
and remands the cause with direc.
tions to overrule the objections a
to the 1916 tax.
