law having gone into effect the first

interpretation of it, being given
blose attention.
The prohibition law, however,
came in for the most attention. In
this connection he spoke of the di
versity in the opinions of the higher
courts of Tennessee court had held
that the sale was made when the
liquor was turned over to the com
mon carrier, while the Tennessee
court had held that the sale was
not made anywhere- “The courts
are governed largely by their ap
petites,” he said.
He took another rap at the higher
courts when he spoke of their re
versals of the decisions of the lower

versed on a technicality where no
harmful error has been committed
and justice had been done, as is
frequently the case,” he said.“This

alarming stage and should be cor
rected . ’ ’
