By Special Correspondent.
TRENTON, March 10.-Governor
Edwards in a statement today pointed
out that the prohibition decision OF
Federal Judge Relistab here yester-
day, in which he declared the $50
beer bill void, was without force and
effect so far as the beer legislation
was concerned because 1t was not be-
fore the federal court IN the FGegen-
span case. The governor says he is
advised as to this by counsel. The
decision will have no effect upon tho
human program in New Jersey" he
declared, as whatever was said in
reference in the beer bill was outside
of the issues raised before the federal
court.
The one decision which will be the
controlling one will be that of the
United States supreme court which
our eminent attorney general Is now
engaged IN endeavoring to obtain"
declared Mr.. Edwards.
How could 1t be otherwise when
the decision of q federal Judge in Wis
consin Of equal power, is directly op-
posite to this decision. Such condi-
tions of administration of justice raises
confusion and I can only await the
judgment of our highest federal court,
the United States supreme court.
"In the last analysis, however, l
believe the question will be deter
mined by what is in reality our high
est court, the court which has already
begun to function and that is the court
of public opinion. For unless the
spirit of American liberty is dead in
the hearts of the American people,
which conclusion l refuse to accept,
they will determine this question in
accordance with the highest traditions
of Americanism. and will refuse to be
regulated in their personal habits by
any band of sectarians however nu-
merous"

Uphold Constitutionality.
By Special Correspondent.
TRENTON, March 10-Holding
that the restrictions laid down by the
passage of the eighteenth amend
ment to the constitution upon those
persons using liquors in states which
did not ratify prohibition are no
greater In their force and effect upon
rights than those imposed upon the
slave owners of the Southern states
when the thirteenth amendment was
passed, Federal Judge John Rellstab
in q decision here yesterday upheld
the constitutionality of the amend
ment and the validity of the Volste cad
enforcement act.
The decision came es the result OF
the application of Christian Feigen-
span, Inc, Of Newark, on behalf OF
the United States Brewers Associa-
ton, for an injunction to restrain the
enforcement of the dry" statutes In

G. Guthrie argued the brewers case
and District Attorney Joseph l.. Bo-
dine appeared for the government.
Briefs were filed by the Anti-Saloon
League as an interested party oppoS-
ing the injunction. THE courts op1n-
ion dismisses the injunction. Although

WILL BUILD THE HOSPITAL
Hospital Commission Meets and De-
cides TO Commence in Spring

1t will be very heartening news to
the citizens of Viroqua and vicinity to
know that the hospital commission
held meeting Friday evening and de-
cided to go ahead with the funds on
hand and start construction in the
spring. The commission was very en-
thusiastic over the proposition, and
Mayor Roseland was selected to look
over the plans and specifications, and
see if further economies could not be
effected. 1t is expected that the new
bids will be at least 25 per cent below
those of last year.
The Censor hopes this proposition
will be pushed vigorously. There is
urgent need for the institution. The
editors birthplace, Boscobel, supports
two private hospitals, and both are
well filled all the time. Surely Viro-
qua, with almost double the popula-
ton should not fear to erect one.

see the local warehouses getting IN
der way for the winters work Of sort
ing and packing Veruon's 1920 crop.
Edgerton Tobacco Reporter COM
ments as follows:
According TO the Wisconsin co-opgr-
ative crop reporting service estimate
of the amount of tobacco shielded in
the state in 1920. the total weight of
the crop is put at 100000 pounds more
November LIST than was the estimated
weight a month ago. Production is
now placed al 63,210,000 pounds, as
compared with 81 10000 a year ago
and five year average of 81 ,468, 900
pounds. The average WELD per acre is
also estimated higher for 1920 than
for 1919. The average this year is
put at 1890 pounds. while it was 1870
pounds per acre last year, and the ten
year average was 1172 pounds.
The market remains inactive as far
as movements from first hands are
concerned. The sharp drop in tenn
perature during the latter part of last
week has effectively stopped any pick
ing at the hanging tobacco. The frost
can not do any harm this year as the
long season of dry weather after har-
vest put the tobacco in a condition to
be practically immune to cold weather
The help situation in the warehouses
when the asserting season opens is
considered favorable. There is no rush
for help as was experienced last win
ter, and there is likely to be plenty of
hands to put the 1920 crop over the
tables when t.'e time comes. This CON
dition prevails, as we understand it.,
in all asserting Centers of the state.
