- The ruling of the department OF
Justice that places ban on the liquor
stores of all vessels within the three
mile territorial limits Of American
waters has been taken into the Fed
eral courts in injunction proceedings.
There is no question, Of course, or
the right of the United States to seize
American vessels violating the prohi-
bition laws; but there can be some
question as to whether there can be
a ban on the liquor stores of foreign
vessels within the three mile limit If
such liquor stores are under seal. For
instance it is being claimed that the
United States government has no right
to interfere with the cargoes of foreign
ships in American ports so long as
those cargoes are kept under lock and
key, and while the United States may
have the right TO prevent foreigner
from giving or selling liquor to an
American in American territory, it has
no right to prevent a foreigner from
drinking foreign liquor on a foreign
vessel in American waters. There is
whole lot of court fighting to be done
on the subject, and the matter is OF
tremendous interest because of its
bearing on business and commerce as
well as prohibition. There IS also an
important domestic political question
involved. Northern Democrats gener-
ally appear to be committed to the
liquor sale of the prohibition question
in that they are standing for modifi-
cation Of the laws in the direction OF
light wines and beer, while different
elections have shown majority of the
voters including church people, women
and Others leaning to the prohibition
side Of the argument regardless OF
politics, and the indications are that
the Republicans are inclined to favor
the prohibition end of the controversy
because of the promise of advantage
held out to them from that direction.

tions affecting railroad finances, as
shown in reports to the railroad COM
mission, is in the operating costs.
these being far lower this year than
last. The Southern's report shows
operating costs for the first half of

said:
Every year each local paper gives
from 5000 to $1,000 in free lines to the
city or town in which it is located, in
boosting, praising, and for lodges,
churches, schools, societies, etc. The
editor in proportion to his means, does
more for the town than any other man
because you like or dislike him and his
style, but because local paper is one
