New York. Nov. III Three at
tenaPts @ prevent enforcement Of y ite
wartime prohibition and Volsteatl
enforcement acts failed in Federal
courts here today. V. !.
Federal Judges \ Learned Hand,
John G.. Knox and John Crosse Of
Baltimore, each in a different case,
upheld the constitutionality Of the
law in denying petitions seeking in
functions to restrain in manufacture
and withdrawal OF liquor from bond.
Judge Hand denied petition Of
Jacob Rupert, brewer, who sought
an injunction permitting him to re-
sumo the manufacture of beer of az
alcoholic content.
Judge Knox denied petition to
restrain William H. Edwards, Col
lector Of Internal Revenue, from pre-
venting the release from bond Of
barrels OF distilled spirits. The peti-
tons were Dryfoos, Bloom & Co.,
wholesale liquor dealers. The de-
cision was handed down in passing
OIL demurrers of two local saloon
keepers who sought, to prevent en-
forcement of the. act.
The third decision, by Judge Rose,
was on an application by the Mary
land Distilling Company for an in
junction to prevent Joshua w. Miles,
Collector of Internal Revenue OF
Maryland, from interfering in the re-
lease of large quantities of whisky
now in bond.
In commenting on the fact that
technically the nation is still at war,
Judge Rose expressed the opinion in
the use Of beer and light wines be
permitted, because of changed condi-
tons since last spring He added
that it was not in the province of the
judiciary to state when the war is at
an end.

U. S. Will Not Use Force in Russia.

Washington, Nov. I3.-The United
States government will not use force
in fighting bolshevism in Russia.
The state department has agreed
upon Russian policy which calls for
counter argument to offset bolshevist
propaganda. but is against the use OF
force except where violence on the
part of the bolsheviks makes it neces-
sary to respond with violence.
Large stores of food and supplies
will be sent to Russia to counterfeit
the bolshevik government and credits
will be advanced as soon as Rus
sian government is recognized.

Sugar Profiteers to Prison?

New York, Nov. 14.-The first
sugar profiteering conviction in this
federal district was secured today
when Julius and Charles Roth, conf
mission merchants, were found gull
ty by jury OF selling at 22 1-2 cents
a pound sugar purchased at o:75
cents a pound. Federal Judge Knox
intimated he would send the men 10
prison.
IF the law is to have any Statutory
effect at all Judge Knox said, that
can only be accomplished by the i'm.
prisonment of persons convicted OF
profiteering in the necessaries OF
life"

THE STAR OF EMPIRE is NOT
ALWAYS WESTWARD.
BY ]. DALLAS BOWSER.

BY j. DALLAS BOWSER.
Editor Sun:
On reading in your paper a news
item telling of the election of Warner
T. McQuinn as a member of the Board
of Aldermen of Baltimore, l grew remi-
niscent, calling to memory number
of young men, who disregarding the
poets injunction that Westward the
Star of Empire Takes Its Way" had
left the alluring environments of
Greater Kansas City to try their for
utnes in lands remote, North, East
and South and there made good.
More than a generation ago l knew
Warner T. McQuinn as a briefless bar
rister, struggling for bread in Kan
sas City, Kas., then Old Wyandotte.
Three years ago l met him in Balti-
more a leading legal light of the Mon
umental City Today finds him one of
its lawmakers, secure in his profession
and the esteem of large constituency
of voters. His Star. of Empire for him
took its way Eastward.
There was William L. Martin, an
The Kansas City sun. (Kansas City, Mo.) 1908-1924, 1919-06-14

erstwhile pupil of mine, who later
took his degree at Oberlin College,
meandered to Chicago, his star direct
ing him Northward, where in addi-
ton to lucrative practice as a lawyer
he has been called by the suffrages
of large constituency of both races
to fill first the position of South Town
clerk and afterward membership in
the legislature of the great state of
Illinois.
In the Kansas City schools a score
or more of years ago young man
was welding the the ferule over the
young idea" Riding the blind bag
gage to Chicago he matriculated in a
Medical College, working for Pullman
in summers to earn his board and tut
tion for the school term. We know
DR.. A. Wilberforce Williams, today, as
one of the. noted physicians of the
American commonwealth.
Another Kansas City pedagog, refus-
ing to acknowledge that any pentup
Utica could contract his powers, car
ried his diploma from Maharry to
Dallas, Texas, far toward the Southern
Cross and we have since heard of his
eminence as leading physician af
the Lone Star state and of his phil
anthropic appropriation of $4,000 to
his alma Mater at Nashville. Such
has been the result of the choice of
DR.. John w. Anderson, who else he
confined himself to the school room
might still remain an obslete factor
in human affairs and defying his name
and fame unwept, unhonored unsung,
might never have been worthy of a
funeral obseque.
May we not hope that DR.. l. M. Hor.
ton, who so recently shook the dust
of Kansas City from his feet to make
Dallas, Texas, his future home, will
in due time sustained by Tennysons
faith:
"That men may rise on stepping stones
"Of their dead selves to higher
things"
also attain to the heights which his
ambition and energy deserve? TIC
the young man of purpose, will, and
patience, whittier he may journey
North, South, East or West, his staI
of Empire will direct him to the step
ping stones that lead to the higher
places where men learn to labor anC
to wait for the achievements that are
sure to follow

TO OUR HEROES DEAD.

Oh, garland of roses, and the speed
of an eagle
In his swiftest flight, I would fly to
far away
Flanders Field, and place this token
of love on
Our Hero's grave.
Oh, Flanders Field, we do charge thee
on this
Great Memorial Day, our heroes gray
es to decorate,
With your poppies red, that nod and
sway, and sing
An enchanted song, throughout the
day and keep
Watch the longnight through.
When you went marching. oh boy, so
proudly away.
I said a prayer for your safe return.
But since it
Was yours to fight and die for victory
I remember
You on this day and every day and
we shall
Never forget you out in No Mans
Land, and we
Will sing of your deeds so noble and
true.
