IWEhIY-OhE STATES
DEFEND PROHIBITION

Washington. March 3.--Twenty-one
states joined with the federal govern
ment yesterday in asking the supreme
court to dismiss the original suit
brought by Rhode Island to test the
validity Of the prohibition amendment
to the constitution.
Subscribing to brief which, as Med
by Charles r. Hughes. with the courts
permission, and which asked dismissal
of the Rhode island case on the ground
that@no- tustictabic- wefe=tf-z
VOWED. were the States Of Delaware,
North Carolina. Kentucky, Louisiana,
Indiana. Alabama, Maine, Arkansas,
Michigan. Florida. Oregon, Kansas.
West Virginia, Nevada, Nebraska, Mon
tana, North Dakota. South Dakota.
Wyoming. Utah and Arizona.
Dismissal of the suit was opposed in
another brief presented by Attorney
General Herbert A. Rice, OF Rhode Is
land who asserted that tine govern
iaents view that the amendment is
rFassailab bic could only lead to
anarchy and oppression.
Another development today was in
definite postponemeDt, by permission of
the court. Of arguments which were TO

init appeals from, Kentucky and Msssa
chusetts. involving the amendme $
Validity, TO be heard at the same time
Assistant Attorney General Frierson
indicated tonight that the arguments
n3ieht be heard on March Is.
The State Of Rhode Island Mr.
| Hughes said in his brief. docs not
bring its bill OF complaint to enforce
any property right or any interest OF
tho state which can be regarded as the
proper subject Of judicial consideration.
We submit that the conception in
volvet in the bill of complaint that an
amendment duly submitted by congress
on the vote Of two thirds Of each house
and duly ratified by the legislatures OF
| three fourths OF the states, is still sub
tsct to judicial review and may be held
( for nsught through judicial action by
| virtue OF process of Implied restrtc-
! ttons upon the amending power---re-
strictions which thus set up by judicial
decree would be unaltersbie by any
constitutional process--is a conception
o.. the most extravagant character and
opposed to the fundamental principles
of our government. No principle of
( judicial action can possibly be invoked
/ for sustaining such an authority.
The truth is the brief concluded,
that there lis nothing left but ques-
ton OF political policy, with which this
court has no concern. II any restric-
t ton upon the power of amendment
could be implied there could he no i'm =
plication in the sense of rule Of law
| which>would justify a judicial decree
| denying validity to this amendment"
The briefs filed by Attorney Genera
Eice asserts that the amendment "is a
direct invasion of Jurisdiction and
towers OF the state and the rights oil

Or H. r. Carter. secretary Of the

this method of treatment by physicians
will result in freeing large number
of malarial cases from infection, so
that they will neither themselves suf-
fer from relapses (of infections fncom-

is the method:
For the acute attack ten grains
auinine sulphate by mouth three times
a day fer a period of at least three or
four DAYS to be followed by ten grains
every night before retiring for \ period
OF eight weeks. For affected persons
not having acute symptoms at the time

Years or older. ten grains. =
TT is not claimed that this is per
