THE COMMON DAY

Copyright, 1920, by Edgar a. GuosO
Twasnt much " a day, ne said
The common fight for the daily bread,
The usual tasks In the usual way
with little accomplished to mark the day;
And this was his thought with the setunB
sun
That nothing at all worth while he'd done.
But there was much that he didn't know
A friend was checrcd by his glad hello.
And the kindly word he had stopped to say
Had sent him whistlnE along his way;
A common day without much worth while,
Yet he'd blessed the world with another
smile.
4 questioning boy in the busy shop
BY his side that morning and chancod to
stop,
And. as boys viii DO, he asked him thngs-
The why ~ the wheels ana the bolts and
springs,
And he told him all that he wished 10
know,
And the hoy was glad to be treated So
lie didn't know, as he sat that night
Thinking his day had been wasted quite,
That n boy was telling his mother then
OF the kindly ways OF the best OF men,
And she was spreading the news around
OF tho wonderful friend her son had found
He never guessed that his cheerful way
Had helped a number OF men that day,
He never dreamed that his kindly word
The tagging soul OF friend had stirred
Oh, life Is bigger than things we build,
And the commonest day may be richly
filled.

APPEAL FROM
LIQUOR RULING
State Decision of Judge ReII-
stab to be Taken to the u.
S. Supreme Court.
~ special Correspondent.

BIZ Special COTreSDondent
TRENTON. March 1.-THE deci-
sion of Federal Judge Rellstab in dis
missing the Feigenspan application
for an injunction to restrain the force
and effect of national prohibition in
New Jersey has been appealed to the
supreme court of the United States.
Notice of the appeal has been filed
here by counsel for the Feigenspan
interests and ten assignments of en-
ror in the decision of Judge Rellstab
famed The points include the con-
t%ention that the federal court erred in
holding that. the eighteenth amend
ment was validity ratified by the re-
CURED three-fourths Of the states Of
the union. Another contention Is that
the decision was wrong In holding
that the Volstead act was valid and
enforceable within New Jersey with
respect to commerce within this state
when New Jersey had not
IN the Volstead act, as required by
the prohibition amendment.
Another error In opinion. said the
apTeal. lies in the thought hat one
half of one per cent of alcohol is
appropriate legislation and On
forceable with respect to non-intoxi-
eating liquors, and their percentage Of
alcohol.
1t was also improper TO hold this
appropriate legislation" when the
definition fixed as TO the alcoholic
content was arbitrary and without
foundation in fact and deprived the
Feigenspan concern of It's liberty and
property in violation of the federal
constitutional.
The last point mad was that thc
erred in holding the VolssnId
act was valid and enforceable despite
the fact that It operated to destroy
lawfully ~pre-existing property of the
f~oisenspan concern, which WAS also
contrary to the constit ution

A large crowd had gathered, and
Frank Burke. chief OF the Bureau Of
Investigations OF the Department OF
Justice, and other detectives and Of

vestigate the trouble. 1t appears
that the policeman refused to make
an arrest. and the controversy finally
ended when Superintendent Lanham
ordered Detective Donnelly to appear
In Police Court at ESQ o'clock this
morning.
Chief Burke and other officials of
the Department of Justice immedi-
ately got into communication with

"By this statement" said one
physician to . Times reporter, ''the

needs Of their patients for alcoholic

Despite this ruling, Commissioner
Kramer said that should q physician
find that book OF 100 prescription
blanks every three months is not suf-
f1cient for the legitimate conduct of
his business, that moro would be sup

tion director with . statement OF the
facts in connection with his business.
But in view Of the fact that such re-
quests may be gazed upon with sus-
picion by the prohibition administra-

Kramer's statement, 1t is said that
many local physicians are somewhat
reluctant to make them.
