PROHIBITION ORDINANCES

Section SO of the Illinois Prohibition
law provides that cities and villages shall
have power to adopt ordinances embrace
ing such provisions of the state prohibi-
ton law as are applicable to cities and
villages, and further, to prohibit every
phase OF the liquor traffic, going beyond
the state law and prohibiting traffic in
liquors even though authorized for medic
inal or other permitted purpose by the
state, if such use is so abused as to be-
come community evil. Any state permit
to deal in liquors for excepted purposes
becomes automatically invalid when the
village or city adopts an ordinance pro-
hbitng that particular phase of liquor
traffic.
This gives municipalities the right to
enforce prohibition through the local Of
fcials. Without such an ordinance viola
tons of the liquor law in the municipality
OF criminal nature could only be prose-
cuted by the states attorney as a state

ofense. The municipality must adopt an
ordinance before it can prosecute and put
the fines and penalties into the munic-
ipal treasury
The Supreme Court of Illinois has held
that the two Jurisdictions are entirely
separate and a prosecution by the munic-
ipality is not bar to a prosecution by
the state, and vice versa. And the same
is true in the case of prosecution by the
federal government.
The ordinance may provide for prose-
cution by the municipality of all the main
acts which are made criminal under the
state law. And as indicated above, to
adopt special provisions to reach drug
gists, or doctors, for example, who trans
grcss the spirit of the law by providing

cines A large number of cities have

LINCOLN'S BIRTHDAY

AS Lincoln's Birthday approaches and
we pause again to pay tribute to his great
character and appraise his works, we are
reminded OF his far-seeing vision on the
temperance question. True to his passion
for justice, he exposed and denounced the
traffic in Intoxicating liquors. He hated
the liquor traffic because he loved humane
ity.
His historic utterances on this subject,
which we need not here repeat, demon
strate that he had faith that the people of
his nation would one day rise up i'll their
might and majesty as American freemen
and forever abolish this curse. He re-
allied that we could not boast any real
freedom until this tyrant should be shorn
of his poWer-not until the heel of this
great oppressor should be lifted from the
necks of the people.
The wisdom of his craftsmanship and
teachings on the supremacy of law and
the necessity OF strict obedience to tho
Constitution, is particularly applicable to
the unfinished conflict against the outs
laWed liquor traffic today. AS legislators,
often advocate compromise with this traf-
tic and introduce all sorts of schemes to-
circumyent and evade the Constitutions
it is wholesome to read such lines as
these from Lincoln:
at everywhere carefully excludes
the idea that there is anything wrong
in it. That is the real issue. That IS
the issue that will continue in this
country when these poor tongues of
Judge Douglas and myself shall be
silent 1t is the eternal struggle be-
tween these two principles, right and
wrong, throughout the world They
are the two principles that have stood
face to face from the beginning of
time and will ever continue to strug-
gle"
In his inaugural address he said:
q take the official oath today with
no mental reservation and with no
purpose to construe the Constitution
or laws by any hypercritical rules. :.
do suggest it will be much safer for
all, both in official or private station
to conform to and abide by all those
acts which stand unrepealed.'
As little minds in our legislative bodies
turn their backs on the Constitution which
they have sworn to uphold, in blind SER
vice of the un-American liquor traffic, it
is reassuring to contemplate the states
manship of Lincoln and those statesmen
OF today who voice his ideals and loyalty
and in this new testing time of American
institutions.
The spirit Of Illinois illustrious son and
the worlds great humanitarian still lives
and leads in this struggle for higher and
better civilization.

Facts Are Prohibition Laws Best
Ammunition With Which to
Combat Nullihcationists
HELP SPEED THEM ON
League Prepared to Make Most of
These Weapons But Must Have
Support of Friends

Facts are prohibition ammunition They
are long-range guns, our Big Berthas, our
hand grenades, our machine guns and our
small arms. There are plenty of them of
all sizes. They are the weapons of this
warfare more needed just now than any
thing else, but we must obtain them, mar
shall them and discharge them upon the
enemy We must set these facts before
the public. They must know things as
they are and not as our enemies would
make them appear. We want to empha-
size this year, war Of facts.
The election OF candidates and the pro-
lection of laws is important. Enforce
ment of the laws we have is a fundamen-
tai duty just now, but in order that these
Things may be done better we must give
attention this year to securing larger
circulation Of the facts.
That's why we outlined our big educa-
tional program. That's why we are now
insisting on its fulhllment and intend to
keep before your minds constantly the
various elements in that endeavor.
First: Broadcasting all over the United
States through Station WWAE, which
has a range over the whole country.
Second: Maintaining throughout the
year a college secretary to visit colleges,
get in touch with faculties and student
bodies and bring before them in an ade-
quate way salient facts about prohibition,
arousing the inquiring minds of the stu
dents and directing them to the facts and
the truth.
Third: Using the new moving picture
entitled "The Transgressor" to furnish in
entertainment form some of the most Stir
ring and essential elements in the great
prohibition struggle, reminding people of
the destructive nature of the whole bever
age alcoholic busines and picturing before
our eyes the benefits of prohibition.
Fourth: The use of the dramatic debate
brings arguments pro and con and the
answers to criticisms before the attention
of mems clubs, lodges and influential civic
groups.
Fifth: Preparation Of adequate mate,
rial and supplying it regularly to the large
number of country newspapers through
out the state in order that the people may
find in the home paper up-to-date infor-
NATION in regard to the validity OF the
prohibition policy and the success OBJ
tanned in enforcing it This program is
calling forth words of approval from
thoughtful friends everywhere.
Twenty-Five thousand dollars over and
above our usual income will be required
to put this program on in an effective
way. When you have read this, please

Things went off with bang at the

were greeted to an unpleasant re-
minder upon entering the banquet
room, when at each plate was OBJ
served black cat upon which apr
peared Friday, 18th.
However, Chairman DR.. E. S. Mill
Ter proceeded to squash the unlucky
theory by introducing as his first
speaker Professor w. w. Tinsley from
Teachers college who used as his sub
ject international Relations as Re-
CARDS Commerce.
He brought out some strong facts
in support Of his theory that we
should cultivate the good will of our
Latin American neighbors, by true
rather than false propaganda and we
are sure all who heard it will agree
more than ever before that the econ
omic interest of the North American
and South American countries are to
a great degree in common.
The next number was another treat
violin solo by Millard Kartchner OF
Teachers college, accompanied by Mrs
Ida w! Douglass. Both the first and
second numbers were splendid rendi-
tions.
Numbers were given by Andy Shaw
of college who gave several selections
from Kipling and some splendid hum
orous recitations, all of which were
very heartily received.
Professor J. @. Thomas gave few

Stafford Shaken Up
By Heavy Wind

Uprooting trees, demolishing barns
and haystacks and tearing the roofs
from buildings, twisting windstorm
struck Stafford about 1870 o'clock
Sunday afternoon, causing consider
able damage in the residence section
Of the city and leaving wreckage
.strewn in it's path for the distance Of
approximately Is miles.
The twisting wind disturbance was
first noticed at Pima, and Travelled
through Stafford beyond Solomonville
and continued for about 20 minutes.
Numerous trees in the city and
county were uprooted bv the terrific
wind, which also blew roofs from
several residences, demolished care
fully built hay stacks and wrecked
several barns in its course. Little
damage was done in the business sec
ton, and no injuries were reported
by residents. The force of the wind
storm was noticed mostly in the out
lying districts.

NEW FISH NURSERY AT
COUNTERFEIT SPRINGS

Counterfeit Springs, bubbling in a
beauty spot in one of the upper reach
es of Oak Creek, where once two
counterfeiters flourished and furnish
ed material for an exciting episode in
Flagstaff early day history, are now
flowing into three rearing ponds for
fish fry.
The nursery experiment at Lolamai
demonstrated the feasibility of the
project, and these at Counterfeit
Springs are being built along the
same lines. They will be completed
this month and 125,000 fry will be
brought from the Springerville hatch
cry to live there until they are seven
inches long.
The state game department and the
Verde Valley and Flagstaff game
protective associations, with limited
funds are demonstrating what cooper
alton can accomplish. The Arizona
Lumber & Timber company of Flag
staff donated the lumber, the United
Verde Copper company of Jerome
supplied all pipe for completing the
rearing ponds, while the Verde Valley
Game Protective association from
among their membership had en-
gineers to draw up plans for the COM
pleted project after the preliminary
Investigations had been made.
R The Flagstaff Game Protective
association is seeing to the trans
portation of all lumber and other sup
plies some feat, as there is only a
trail from the bridge on the highway
UP the canyon to the Site
A house will be built, replacing the
tumbled down log cabin built by the
counterfeiters, for man to be
furnished by the state game depart
ment to take care of the fish and do
warden duty along Oak Creek proper.
1t is the desire of the two game pro-
tective associations to have the upper
reaches, after being stocked, closed
for the rest of the year.
