A measure pending in Congress and giving to the States absolute power over the shipment of liquor is good and ought to be enacted into law. It is call i d the Kenyon.Shep pard bill and proceeds upon sound Democratic theory. Long ago Mr. Bryan favored such a measure, and in The Commoner, April 22, 1910, he wrote an editorial, in which he said: "Interstate commerce is used to override State laws. What Dem ocrat is willing to put himself on record against the proposition that the right of the people of a State to control the liquor traffic is more sacred than the right of liquor deal ers to dispose of their product in dry territory and in violation of the law? Mr. Bryan believes that Congress should pass a law recognizing the right of each State to prescribe the conditions upon which intoxicating li ;uors can be transported, sold and used within its borders. He also belifvcs that the Federal govern ment should dissolve partnership v, hp. law breakers and no longer i-ue license for the sale of liquor in communities where local laws pro j.ji. ,ta paie. If it is thought un- constitutional to discriminate in the K-sue of licenses between different communities the same end can be reached by reducing the license to a nominal figure and requiring the applicant for a Federal license to give written notice to the local au- thorities, and newspaper notice to I the local public of his intention to ! apply for a license. Now let those : who eppo e these proposi.ions meet j them with arguments." The Com moner. Gofid Roads Fever Spreading. The good reads fever is spreading.

By a vote of 240 to G5 thelhouse late today passed j the Webb bill to restrict shipment into drv territory of intoxicating ; liquors in violation of the laws of any state or municipality. Seven hours of spirited debate preceded the passage of the bill, which was drawn up under a special rule re ported by the rules committer. The Webb bill is designated to in crease the restriction of the states over liquor shipments crossing their borders and to direct such shipment of an interstate character when this would conflict with state laws. The bill carries no penalty ;:o far as the federal government is concerned, and the enforcement c the law de pends largely upon the activities of the state officials in prohibition ter-ritoi-y. Each amendment to the bill was voted down. The prohibition forces in the house were fearing to encum ber the measure with amendments as it might become into the senate, or in conference, and thus oppose the principal of the bill, voted against all amendment-?. Especially bitter debate occui'ed before the adoption of the special rule, and Chairman Fitzgerald, of the house appropriations committee, and Minority Leader Mann lectured the democratic side of the house for wasting time on special legislation, instead cf considering the annual ap propriation bills, seven of which are left to pass the house before March the 4th.

Southerner. BRONCHITIS SUFFERER Takes Druggist's Advice With Splendid Result. If anyone should know the wortb. of a medicine, it 13 the retail druggist who sells it over hia counter every day in the week, and is in a position to know what remedy gives the best satisfaction. Mrs. Frank II. Uline, of "West Sand Lake, X. Y., says: "Fcr a number of years I was a great sufferer from bronchitis. Last July I had aa attack which was move- severe than any, ana my frientts tiiought I could not recover j from it. Then l was advised oy my druggist to try Vinol, which I did, with -wonderful results. My cough, has left me; I have gained in weigh-; und appetite, and I ai.as strong as ever I waa. I advisa all who have bronchitis, chronic coughs, or who are run down to try Vinol." It is the combined action of the medicinal curative elements of tho cod's liver, without the greasy oil, aided by the blood-making and strength-creating properties of tonic iron that makes Vinol so efficient.

William Jennings Bryan rmd William L. Wilson, of West Virginia, that the Democrats placed an income tax provision in their tariff bill, taxing all incomes exceeding $4,000 at 2 per cent. The Supreme Court of the United States, however, in obedience to the wishes of the bloated bond holders, wealthy malefactors of th? country, kindly declared that law unconstitutional, and so the constitution having been amended the Supreme Court can no longer interfere. - It is quite cer tain that an income tax will be pass ed in tee extra session, which will be called either in March or early in April. It is the belief that not only will all incomes exceeding $5,000 per year be taxed 2 per cent, but that the rate will increase on those hav ing excessively large incomes. For instance, the tax will probably be 3 per cent on incomes over $10,000 per annum, 4 per cent on incomes of $50,000 per annum, and 5 per cent on all incomes of over $100,000 per annum. The Standard Oil Company ; has just declared a dividend of $40, 000,000, of which Mr. Rockfeller re ceives $10,000,000. This, however, is only a small part of his entire in come, and there is no reason why Mr. Rockfeller should not contribute 5 per cent of his money for running the government. Washington News Notes.
