HARLAN ONPROHIBITION! Supreme Court Justice Favors Constitutional Amendment. LAW PROTECTS SHIPMENTS At Present Police Powers of States Cannot Attach Liquor Shipment at Any Point of Its Journey. Washington, D. C—The only hope of securing absolute prohibition in states which desire prohibition is for congress to pass a constitutional amendment making liquor a special class in interstate commerce, accord ing to Mr. Justice Harlan of the supreme court of the United States. In discussing the Wilson law and its interpretation by the supreme court, he would not, of course, ex press an opinion on any pending mat ter of legislation. Mr. Justice Har lan said that under this law a man is protected in his right to order liquor for his own use from outside of the state, to have it delivered to his door, and to use it, so long as does not interfere with the rights of others. He was quite positive that the po lice powers of the state could not at tach to the liquor shipment at any point of the journey, either inside or outside the borders of the state. The states, he said, might under their po lice laws, forbid the importation of diseased food supplies, infected cattle or any article that would endanger the health and morals of the people. But, he pointed out, liquors were still considered, under the federal consti tution, legitimate articles of com merce, and as long as they were so considered they could not be made contrabrand by the states. This declaration of the venerable jurist, who has sat on the supreme court bench for thirty-two years, will be a blow to those who believe that congress can give to the state power conferred solely upon congress, under the constitution; or, in other words, can authorize a state, in the exercise of its police powers, to seize a ship ment of liquor which a citizen is im porting from another state for ‘‘con sumption, storage and use.” Asked if the legislature of a state could, in his opinion, pass a law mak ing it illegal for a person to have in his possession, even for his own use, a stated supply of ilquors, Mr. Jus tice Harlan was inclined to the belief that a state legislature could not limit the amount of liquor a man might have on hand. The power to regulate interstate commerce is lodged 'by the constitu tion in congress. Liquors have all along been, and are yet, regarded as legitimate articles of commerce. Until the protection granted liquors under the interstate commerce clause of the constitution is specifically withdrawn, no state has the right to seize and condemn such shipments. This is the reasoning of Mr. Justice Harlan. He said the Wilson law of 1890 did not interfere with the right of a citi zen in any state to have liquor ship ped to him. Furthermore, the liquor must he actually “delivered.” If a citizen of Georgia, for instance, can order 'liquor from outside the state and receive it to his own use and here comes the extreme point in his argument —he declared it as his be lief that the officers of a state could not afterwards step in and seize such shipments, even under a state law. For a state law to authorize such an interference, he thought would be un constitutional. While a state may not at present interfere with a citizen s right to have liquor in his possession for his own use, it unquestionably has the right to prevent the sale, keeping at one’s place of business for the pur pose of sale or’ giving such liquor away to induce tfade. As to the question of C. O. D. ship ments, or the introduction of liquor into a’ dry state in original packages, Mr. Justice Harlan said the interstate commerce character of such ship ments and the protection thereby en joyed ceased the moment the liquor was received and became mixed witn the mass of goods in the state. \\ lien the original package was broken up, the liquor could not then be sold without violating the law AMBASSADORS APPOINTED.

Silver Lake, Ind.—At a point three miles southeast of this city on the line between Kosciusko and \V abash counties, a subterranean lake has burst its confines and has submerged the highway to a depth of twenty feet and for a distance of more than one hundred yards. People who trav eled the road the evening before its appearance noticed no indications of the break, but early travelers next morning were confronted with a fair sized lake, where the solid road had been just a few hours before.

Itching Torture Was Beyond Words— Slept Only from Sheer Exhaustion —Believed in 24 Hours and Cured in a Month by Cuticum. “I am seventy-seven years old, and some years ago I was taken with eczema from bead to foot. I was sick for six months and what I suffered tongue could not tell. I could not sleep day or night because of that dreadful itching; when I did sleep it was from sheer exhaustion. 1 was one mass of irritation; it was even in my scalp. The doctor’s medicine seemed to make me worse and I was almost out of my mind. I got a set of the Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Resolvent. 1 used them persistently for twenty-four hours. That night 1 slept like an infant, the first solid night’s sleep I had had for six months. In a month I was cured. W. Harrison Smith, Mt. Kisco, N. Y., Feb. 3, 1908.” Potter Drug & Chera.
