to be done on the subject Congress
could do it and that he wouldn't un-
dertake to say what is and what is not
a reasonable supply Of stimulant for
ambassadors, ministers and their staffs.
But Congress will not act unless the
executive recommends and that's
where the matter will rest.
Inquiry, however, as to how Congress
can possibly legislate on the importation
OF liquor for the diplomatic corps brings
out some interesting phases Of the pres
ent practice and makes il appear
doubtful whether Congress really can do
anything about II, even if II wishes.
The Volstead law and the eighteenth
amendment make no exceptions-all i'm
portations of liquor are barred. Mem
bers OF the diplomatic corps are really
being permitted TO bring in their sup
ply of liquor without reference to the
existing law on the theory that diplo-
mats are immune from all the laws of
the land to which they are accredited.
The American government would bard
ly think it wise to disturb this Gus
tom of diplomatic immunity which has
been in effect for generations and means
W lltthOul VI dIllOH Va
American diplomats in foreign coun-
tries as it does to the diplomats located
in Washington.
Diplomatic immunity is courtesy
recognized in international law and no
member of a legation staff can be ar
rested or tried for any offense either
against the American Constitution or
acts of Congress. The only recourse
the American government has is to ask
the foreign government to recall dip
lomat who has flagrantly violated Amer
lean laws. If the crime is serious, a
foreign government may even withdraw
its cloak of diplomatic immunity and
permit one of its citizens to answer for
a crime.
As far as liquor importations are
concerned. members of the diplomatic
corps are permitted to receive ship.
ments because these are included under
the broad term. personal effects.
Some legal questions have arisen from
time to time as 10 whether diplomat
must travel with his personal effects to
gain immunity from customs as the
transportation of liquors, for instance,
on trains or in American ships is in
itself violation Of American law and
the ship owners and railroads do not
like to be in the position of ignoring
laws.
Wenever any article is imported
either for wearing apparel or household
use no customs duties are paid by diplo-
mats. But should legation or embassy
receive an unreasonable supply Of any
product. the customs authorities would
naturally have their curiosity aroused
as to whether diplomatic immunity
wasn't being used for commercial OBJ
jects.
Whenever such a contingency arises,

COUNTY FAIR THIS YEAR
PROMISES TO BE BIG TREAT

Work has been progressing rapidly
on the Fair premium list, and it is
now practically ready for publication
Generosity has been the motive in the
awarding of prize money. and ths win
ners of the various prizes hung up
for the Phillips County Fair Septem-
ber to Z, will have netted substan-
tial winnings in. different classes of
exhibits.
The prizes for various kinds of ex.
hibits, animals, grains, cookery, house
hold products, and all things of every
sort are higher in most instances than
are the prizes offered at the Colorado
State Fair, which demonstrates con.
clusiyely that the management is
willing to do everything possible TO
insure large number of worthy en-
tries.
Over two thousand dollars has been
set aside as prize money at the fair,
and tnat amount is to be evenly dis
tributed among the various classes
of competing products. The first
prize in the various breeds of horses
will win the owner of the animal
twenty dollars as first prize money.
The different breeds of the swine
have fifteen dollars offered as prize
in each division. Five dollars is a big
price to pay for a peck of wheat, but
that is the offer of the fair manage.
ment to the winner. The same will
be given to the person bringing in the
best ten ears of corn. Fancy work,
wearing apparel, cakes. and those
articles that the ladies' show at the
fair win equally big prizes.
These facts should show conclu
sively the real value of the exhibits
to the person entering them. and 1,
is expected that the greatest collec.
tion of exhibits in Phillips county will
appear this fall.
Patriotism. and the desire to show
people exactly what this comfy can
do is another reason that all should
collect now lthsir best grains and
feeds. and be ready with a real ex
hibit at the County Fair.
