Reversed Decision OF Fed
eral Court Covering
Southern District OF
Florida

One more good reason for Key
West maintaining its present
status in the sponge business is
given in a news note in the lat
est issue of the Fish and Oyster
Reporter published in Fernan-
dina. Fla.
"The United States Circuit
Court of Appeals for the Fifth
District at New Orleans on Feb
ruary IA, reversed the decision of
the Federal court for the south
ern district of Florida involving
the states sponge fishing law.
"The appellate court said that
in its opinion no extraordinary
circumstances existed and that
federal court should not interfere
by habeas corpus action.
1.-THE judgement is reversed
with direction to remand the ap-
plicant to the custody of the
sheriff of Pinelas county, Flori-
da, the higher court ruled.
1.-The applicant, Lambiris Skiro-
ties, sponge fisherman, was grant
ed writ of habeas corpus in the
Florida federal court following
his arrst on a charge of violating
the state law against using div
ing apparatus in gathering spong-
eS.
1.-The lower federal court held
that Florida could not exercise
jurisdiction more than one
league from the line of low tide
and that Skirotes would be de-
prived of his constitutional rights
of a writ of habeas corpus was
not granted.
THE decision of the higher
court said that sponges, like oys-
tiers, do not fall under the ex-
elusive jurisdiction of the United
States and the states may regu-
late them"
The court also said that trea-
ties enacted since the Florida
constitution was adopted assert
more or less clearly general ad-
herence to the theory of the three
mile limit.
1t was also said by the court
that it doubted whether the trea-
ties dealing with the boundaries
of the state of Florida affect at
all the specific claim between
Florida and her citizens.
I'm citing various court rulings
pertaining to the three mile linn
il, the court held that these dis
cussions involved the right of 9TH
er counties, their ships and citi-
zens. r.
"SkiroteS, however, the court
held, was a citizen of Florida,
and added: We doubt his ability
to question before a court the
boundaries which his state has
set up. Domestic rather than in
ternational law governs his re-
lations to his own state.
st is thus shown, by the fed
eral court ruling, that the state
may regulate the taking of spong-
es".

What has since happened is too painfully vivid in the
minds of all Americans to need repetition at this time
1.-THE thousands of bank failures that wiped out
the life savings of our people, the many suicides, the
tens of thousands of farm and home foreclosures,
the nnumerable business failures that took place dur
ing the decade following the signing of the armistce,
all were in large due to the Then, too,
the staggering national debt that must carry for
the next three four generations is altogether be-
cause of our taking part in that war
ION April g. 1917 when the resolution to declare
war was before the House had this to say I shall
vote against declaration of because feel that
we have no business meddng in European affairs
shall vote against this resolution because it will mean
entanging alliances that may at a future date en-
danger the Monroe Doctrine and embrol us in another
holocaust such they have in Poland and Flan-
ders; shall vote against war because it is my under
standing that it is the plan of the General Staff to
send hundreds of thousands of boys into the
slaughter pens of Europe many of them to be shot to
pieces rendered mcapactated for life; shall vote
against entering the because it will impose upon
our people, burden of taxes that will weigh down
generations yet unborn lastly shall vote against
because know that majority of our common people,
who will have to do the fighting and pay the bills,
do not want it,.
at that time those of us who opposed Americas
Of hatred and misunderstanding because DARED to
stand for what conceived to be plain duty and
for the best interest OF our people.
81 ask How many realize that 436065 of our boys
have died a result of their service in that war?
81 ask in all sincerity, Was it worth the price,
Back in 1917 we told that it was to be war
to end all wars. How many wars, big and small have
been fought since the Treaty of Versailles signed?
So many we cannot offhand recall them all
Back in 1917 told that it to be a
to make the world safe for democracy Is it not
true that democracy is at lower ebb today than at
any time in the past $50 years?
I'VE have been paying the tragic price of the World
War for the last 81 years The direct expense of
actual participation nearly $4,000 100000 but
this not all. In the years following the war we
have paid out additional billions in bonuses, pensions
and other items directly indirectly resulting from
the war effort"

LIBERAL ALASKA

I, is surprise to learn from Washington re-
port Of the Social Security Board that unemployment
'compensaticn payments are higher in Alaska than
anywhere else in the Nation. The Territory stands
ut or near the top of the list in liberality in all de-
partments of the aged, the sick and the poor.
Average weekly benefit payment to the unem-
ployed in Alaska s1537 in March, which is more
than two dollars above that of any State the most
liberal of which is Wyoming with Sl316 and the least
liberal Mississippi with $5.25 Even for partial I'M
employment the Alaska average benefit payment of
S1053 per week is far in of that paid by any
state except Wyoming which, curiousy, pays $1317
o. ore cent per week more to those partially unem-
~ -' then to those totally unemployed. Next State
is Nevada with 1881 Many States do not
pay benefits to the partially unemployed.
Unemployment benefits now being paid in all
the States and Territories except Illinois and Mon
tana and these will begin their benefit-payment pro-
grams in July, bringing the unemployment compen-
sation system into full operation throughout the
Nation.

2@i There vi tile band of men April g. 1917
woefuly small minority, who voted in Congress
against American entry into the World War. Time
may be said to have proved them wiser than knew
They were right and the Nation, from long range
view horribly wrong to take part in that war
What do these think of international prob
enls in 1882 How about getting into this
year in the future? One who has an en-
phatc answer is Rep Harold Knutson, still mem
Der OF Congress and the senior Representative for
al time for the State of Minnesota. Congressman
Knusons 1899 stand is this:
Frequently I asked ii l would change the vote
cast 10y April g. 1917 against Americas partici-
patton in the World War, in view of what has since
happened. To one and all my reply is, A thousand
times no.
s~ GAS I view it, nearly all of present economic
and political ills due to having participated in
that tragic drama Our participation in the war re-
suited in orgy of initiation which followed by
a defation that most disastrous to agriculture
and to all lines of industry and business. This defla-
ton later followed by. another spectacular
initiation which eliminated in the stock-market de-

The stars incline
but do not compel"
TUESDAY. JUNE 10. 1899.


Threatening stars dominate today
according to astrology. The morn
ing appears especially ill-omened
for labor. Danger of physical vio-
lence is foreseen.
Women come under a fortunate
planetary direction, since it tends
to detach them from world fears and
enable them to enjoy the happy priv
ileges of peace and prosperity in the
United States.
Girls may expect suitors. Many
summer engagements and speedy
marriages are prognosticated Love
will feed on the uncertainties that
encourage swift romances.
Mars is in sinister aspect which
may be felt in mental depression
and nervous tension. There may be
many accidents under this configur-
alton.
The afternoon should be suspicious
for planning early initiative in bust
ness or art projects.
Advice to discipline the mind Sc
that it will not harbor negative or
destructive ideas is strongly urged
by astrologers. The will TO maintain
poise and peace is imperative for
Americans.
There are omens presaging
danger from internal conflicts in
many governments. Explosive forces
are active and revolutionary in char
acter.
Germany and Japan may have up
risings, or at least signs of opposi-
ton to certain military policies. The
seers declare that liberty will be
bought with blood, but not until a
great war has changed world rela-
lions. a
Women should give attention to-
day to social interests. 1t is a pro-
pitious time to plan vacations, es-
pecially those that include sight
seeing. Expeditions should profit
greatly this month and next.
Persons whose birthdate it is have
the augury Of year of steady ad-
vancement in business or profession
al careers. Women will benefit
through investments.
Children born on this day prob
ably will be intensely independent
and individual. These Gemini sub
jects may have varied talents but are
difficult to direct. Many have ex-
traordinary mental powers.
