TROUBLEFORJVOTRADE Prohibitionists Will Continue the Fight Before Congress. WiLL AMEND 10NSTITUTI0N If Necessary—Not Satisfied With C. O. D. Bill Recently Passed—Want Radical Legislation. Washington, u. c. —The fight on In terstate snipments of i:quor into dry states will be continued with unabat ed zeal to the new congress. Having secured the adoption of a C. O. D. bill, which went through as a rider to the penal cede bil, the prohi bition leaders have been ardently stimulated. They will now pursue with ltdoubled eagerness the path that leads to more radical legislation. The bill of Representative Langley of Kentucky will be reintroduced. This is practically the same bill which was fostered by Representative Littlefield of Maine, and which the American Anti-Saloon League supported. It proposes to give to a dry state the right to prohibit absolutely all ship ments of liquor into its border Able constitutional lawyers of the house question whether this can be done without an amendment to the federal constitution making liquors a special class in interstate commerce. The anti-saloon people argue that if the representatives now making up the congress cannot overcome these conscientious scruples, they will elect new representatives who will pass this legislation and leave it to the supreme court to declare it unconsti tutional —if it must. The acting legislative superintend ent of the American Anti-Saloon League, which maintains headquartei’3 in Washington, is William H. Ander son. In discussing the plans now on foot by the league he said: “The Humphrey-Miller-Knox amend ment to the penal code, secured in the past session, while it is a long step in advance and strikes at some of the most glaring evils arising out of the nullification of state laws under the guise of interstate commerce, by pro hibiting C. O. D. shipments and de livery to fictitious consignees and re quiring that all packages of liquor shall be plainly branded so as to show the nature and amount of contents, is still not fundamental. The league does not ask congress to do for the states what they can do for themselves, but does hold that congressional power over interstate commerce should be so used as to help the states in the en forcement of their own police laws. TAFT HISSED SIIiNIfiCANT PASSAGE Peculiar Coincidence in Connection With Ceremony of Kissing Bible. Washington, D. 0. —Through James H. McKenney, the Veteran clerk of the supreme court of the United States, has just came to light the fact that President Taft’s lips fell upon a very significant passage in the Bible when, after taking the oath of office, he kissed the sacred vol ume. Mr. McKenney held for the chief justice the book used in con nection with the administering of the oath. He presented it to Mr. Taft and after the latter had sworn to bear truth, faith and allegiance, he reverently leaned over and touched his lips to the open face of the book. They fell upon the third chapter of I Kings, at the point beginning, “Give, therefore, Thy servant an un derstanding heart to judge Thy peo ple, that I may discern between good and bad; for who is able to judge this Thy great people?” This was the prayer of Solomon at the beginning of his reign, and the passage closes with the statement that the prayer was answered be cause of its unselfish character.
