WASHINGTON, March 4.-The
of New Jersey filed today in the
United States supreme court a bill
of complaint asking that the prohi-
bition amendment and the Volstead
enforcement act be declared null and
void. Joseph A. Lanigan, assistant
attorney general of New Jersey, filed
the bill, which was drawn by Attor-
ney General McCran by the authority
of Gov. Edwards, elected on a wet"
platform last November.
One of the objects OF the suit is to
prevent United States Attorney General
Palmer and Internal Revenue Commits
sioner Roper from enforcing the Volstead
act in New Jersey.
Attorney General McCran will appear
In supreme court Monday to proceed with

FOR THE ACTION.
New Jersey charges that the Eighteenth
amendment is null and void for these
reasons:
That the Eighteenth amendment is not
proper under Article OF the Constitution
/ There is no power In congress TO propose
an amendment regulating conduct and
morals and that Article permits only
such amendments as are alterations oil
additions within the scope of the consti-
tuition.
That there is no power in the state to
ratify an amendment such as the eight
eenth.
/ That two-thirds Of she members Of both
I houses of congress did not deem such
an amendment necessary" within the true
intent and meaning Of article V Of the
constitution.
! That the prohibition contained In the
amendment is Legislative matter under
article Of the constitution and not prop
I erly ar amendment under article V.
j That as legislative matter It was not
properly passed by congress and sub
mitted to the people Of the United States
and is therefore void and of no effect.
RATIFICATION HELD
FAULTY IN 81 STATES.
That In twenty one states, south Da-
kota, oregon, Nevada, Montana, Okla.
homa, Maine, Missouri, Michigan, Arka n.
sas. Colorado. Arizona, California. Ohio
Nebraska, North Dakota Washington
Mississippi, Utah. Massachusetts, Mary
land and New Mexico, the legislatures
have not ratified rs provided by the con-
stitution of such states and that there.
I fore threefourths Of the states have not
ratified in the constitutional sense.
! That the alleged eighteenth amend
utent establishes a Capitalization of power
and authority without the consent Of
the people Of the state OF New Jersey
and Is uualterable and unreformable o.
all times by fIem and c thsrpforo {r.

WATSON WINS IN
KENTUCKY, BUT
THERE'S ONE IF
Delegation Will Go for James
Eli, Providing Will Hays
Doesn't Block Game.
Rn a stan Correspondent.

LOUISVILLE, March 4.-For the bene-
fit Of those who want to know what has
really happened In Kentucky's republican
camp It might as well be said now as
after awhile that the boosters Of Sena-
tor James Eli Watson Of Indiana for
the presidency have carried this state.
OF course, the Kentucky delegation will
not go to the Chicago convention IN
structed for Watson. They will 20 as un-
instructed delegates, with a prearranged
signal in accordance with which they will
break for Watson whenever the political
bosses who are manipulating things want
them to do so.
There is only one small fly in the oint-
ment That hy is the ambition Of Will
H Hays to have the Chicago convention
stampeded to him instead Of Watson,
as 1t was originally planned last May.
"FULSOME EULOGY"
ALLOWED BY HAYS.
Hays has done his best TO see that
the delegates are not unfavorable to him.
He has allowed a "fulsome eulogy" 10
1ow from his lips into the proud ears
OF Tobe Hert. republican boss Of Ken
tucky and he has placed a few national
committee employee where they will do
the most good for Hays when II comes
down 70 convention manipulation. But
the Watson crowd is not particularly
worried by Hays's efforts. They are de-
pending on the success OF their original
stampede plans and they believe they
will be able to control Hays when the
time comes
Kentucky has been the state in which
Charles Warren Fairbanks did the
speaking and Joseph B. Kealing did the
steering for the old standpat crowd
Ea4r Sc lon n
speaking. but there appears 70 have been
nothing wrong with the rest OF the
program.
G. o. P. PAPERS
PRAISE HERT.
Tobe Hert is now receiving the praise
of the most of the old line standpat re
publican papers and a number OF others.
He IS an Indiana man who was invited
into Kentucky politics by the crowd that
needed a state manager whom they
could control. Hert went there and with
the assistance Of several other Indi-
anians succeeded in building up pow
erful organization on the foundations
laid in the days when Kentucky repub-
licans used to be the tail to the Fair
banks kite. The organization is said 10
be alright. It has been strengthened
By the help Of VIII Hays and the ma
tional organization and it is a shining
example of how the standpat organiza
ton does things.
There is no longer any need to'over-
look the fact that watson is In the most
logical position to grab the republican
nomination for president. Kentucky
shows how it can be done. When the
Chicago convention commences the elimi-
nation OF bidders for the nomination. ii
will be apparent that the candidates
who have received pledged delegations in
the primaries will not be able to win

Junior Notes
The water tower is in mourning now.
We, the members of the Junior class
extend our sincere sympathy to Ralph
Cole, a staunch supporter Of the SEN
ior class, who has been lingering
around since his rapid descent from
the water tower the other night
Exams are over, thank goodness
there is only one more exam this year
The last exam was the hardest exam
of ihc yearand some Of the grades re-
ceived are not very good.
House building cost of rafters, the
width of wall, size Of windows, and the
like, is all we hear now.
The key to the Domestic Science
laboratory has been lost the last few
days. Some members of the class
would not care if Il were never found.

in time for us to take the six weeks
exam on it, We are all hoping we told
the story in good style
Last Monday when the Freshmen
came TO school we were very much
surprised to find it raining in our
room, when it was not even cloudy out
of doors, but upon Investigating the
rooms upstairs, we found it Shs only
the water pipes in the Domestic Sci

BEAVER HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

When we went home from school
Friday, April ith, the water tower was
decorated with the Senior colors. On
Monday, April Z, when we came to
school we saw that the Senior colors
had been painted over and that the
Junior Class colors were on the tower
instead. Tuesday morning when we
came TO school the Junior colors We're
erased. Thosc happenings seem rather
mysterious. We wonder who or what
has caused them.
What appeared to be large white
mark on the water tower has caused
the curiosity of several of the girls of
Beaver High school to be aroused to
very great extent, for when they
came 10 school in the morning it seem
ed to be near the base of the tank;
and by noon time, il seemed about
midway between the top and the base.
However, their curiosity is appc iSod
for they have discovered that this
white mark was only the float, which
tells how much water is in the tank
Some joke, wasn't il?
All the students thoroughly enjoyed
/? the sixth week examinations,
which were held last Thursday and
are over and that we won't have any
more for another six weeks
/ Women's rights are being enlarged
Everywhere although we, as a school
do not take any special stand on the
subject. But We must acknowledge the
women's superiority Tor two of the
Senior girls assembled to the top of
the Beaver City water tower, feat
which many boys of our school cannot
boast.
Senior Notes

another one of those tests in physics.
