Dry SUP RULING
ATTACKED IN BRIEF
Plea Filed in Supreme Court
Against Decision
MISINTERPRET TERRITORY
Nothing In Congressional Debate To
Show Anyone Meant Law To
Reach Vessels - Most
Serious In Pacific.

Washington.-A plea that American
ships cannot justly be prevented from
serving liquor on the high seas under
the prohibition laws Is set forth In
brief filed in the Supreme Court by
the International Mercantile Marine
in support Of its appeal from the in.
depreciation given The Daugherty
"bone-dry" ruling by Federal Judge
Hand at New York.
The brief also declares II is not
unlawful for vessels to bring their
ship stores of liquor into American
territorial waters. In this respect the
position taken by the Mercantile Ma
rine is similar to that set forth by
the foreign shipping concerns in a
brief filed recently with the court
Declaring that should the decision
Of Judge Hand be sustained III would
be impos sible commercially to operate
American flag steamers in the oa..
onger trade Of the world" the hriof
points ont that the g~eat for. "
transatlantic liners will always bn
able 20 sell liquor on their westbouul
voyages. and agains, such comper';or
tho American liners will he s"riou ~
Handicapped because il says. Euro.
peans will not travel by American
steamers when they can come ~
foreign ships and enjoy their usual
wine.
similar conditions, II adds. will
prevail in 'hG sa;;:!, hHioa;ean tradc
on tho northbouud voyages. whuo
vessels eou'hbound in that trade can

or HAVANA The most serious com.
uctition viii come It asserts. on tho
Pacific where in the Near Eastern
trade ships sailing from Canadian
ports would have diverted to- them
practically all the passenger bust
ness.
Only by the adoption OF fiction
Is II possible by constitutional con
struction to hold the brief adds.
that tho word territory rs used IN
the prohibition acts includes vessels
az the United States upon the high
seas and in foreign ports. Such q
construction would lead to an ON
barrassng international situation
I, i declared.
Tho brief sets forth that cxamina
ton Of Congressional debates does
not disclose "a single word which
would indicate in any way that any
one In Congress ever contemplated
that prohibition would apply to yes
soils Of the United States"
+ seemed hardly conceivable" 4
is added. that Congress would place
an additional obstacle in tho way o

Gambling and Gambling

That what is gambling TO one
person may be merely an inno-
cent pastime in the opinion of
some other people seems 10 be
indicated by the way some people
who would not think of playing
cards for stakes played gambling
devices at the recent county fair
here quite frankly and openly
and seemingly without giving the
gambling feature a thought
Some people who would be
quick to condemns a card game for
stakes cheerfully paid the price
to pitch q ball for a chance at a
doll Or to try their luck with a
wheel or some other device.
Isn't gambling by some other
name just as bad as il is when
you frankly call it gambling?-

The big talk of the Republi-

brought about through protective
tariff would be laughable were il
not SO serious. Protective tariff
enriches the few by robblng the
many.l 1t is special privilege
with a vengence. Protective
tariff destroys competition,
creates high prices by restricting
production. and the poor pay the
bill. Look at the country today.
The farmers wheat is going

A beetle weighing two grains

10000 pounds. or nearly a hun

captured a very handsome beetle
and placed it under a 5eaker-a
thin tumbler used in chemical
analysis-on a shelf Of my labor
atory. A few hours after the
beetle had disappeared very mys.
teriously, the beaker remaining
inverted. He was recaptured
and again placed under the beak-
er. I watched the result and
presently found that the beetle
walked the tumbler along the
shelf till 1t reached the edge. then
crept out and fell as soon as the
overhang was sufficient to afford

The Blessing of Work

One of the best things for any
young man is work. Idleness is
the DEVILS trap. Work is the
liberation of energy. the chan
mel of achievement Whatever
one may lack of native talent
may be compensated for by pat
lent and persevering drudgery.
The young man who does not
have to work is TO be pihed; the
man who won't work is to be
condemned: the man who is will
ing to work but can find no
work to do should have our SYM
pathy aud our aid, But work is
generic term. One can work
with his brains as we'll as with
his hands; on his knees as we'll as
on his feet; with his pen as we'll
as with his pick; with his pocket
book as we'll as with his plumb
line: with his PRAYERS as we'll as
with his possessions. God has
not held any of us up to one sing
lie line of duty. Obligation is as
wide as lite, and our energies
should be as expansive as our
vision and as generous as our
prayers-Christian Observer.
