...Scott.* His cocksure comment: "Prohibition's a farce. I always knew the 18th Amendment wasn't constitutional. People should be able to drink what they want." Farmer Sprague & friends began to celebrate what they imagined was the end of Prohibition with heavy draughts of "cider" (applejack). Judge Clark's ruling, however, produced resounding results far beyond Wantage. His was the first Federal Court opinion invalidating the 18th Amendment. It raised new or forgotten points of law and constitutional policy. It "amazed" the Drys, "delighted" the Wets. Though its immediate and practical effects on Prohibition were...
...this problem of government requires an approval and ratification of certain amendments by and in a convention and that the language of Article V can be taken as modified by the principles of political science." To buttress his views Judge Clark showered his opinion with nonlegal quotations from Confucius, Cicero, Lincoln, Andrew Johnson, Lord Bryce, Justice Holmes, James Monroe, Benjamin Franklin, Montesquieu, William Howard Taft, Congressman Luce, Claude Bowers, Abbott Lawrence Lowell et al. He quoted a feeble joke from the Georgia Supreme Court. His opinion was a display of wide reading and deep scholarship. Whether...
...after a long lapse of years. Pennsylvania's Wet Representative Beck, onetime Solicitor General, recalled, however, that "nearly 25 years after the enactment of the Missouri Compromise, the Supreme Court in the Dred Scott case finally concluded it was invalid."

Last week he announced that, like any modern, well-run body of opinion, the Crusaders will henceforth have a paid pro fessional director who will devote all his time and talents to the organization's work. New National Executive Commander of the Crusaders is Col. Julian Codman, Bos ton lawyer, longtime foe of Prohibition, an early director in the Association Against the Prohibition Amendment. Col. Codman. 60, is a Harvardman. He served with the A. E. F. in the Quarter masters Department. In 1924-26 he was attached to the Judge Advocate General...
...regional appeal in the Northwest. It was started in 1927 chiefly as a hobby, and partly because Brother Roscoe Fawcett was onetime state golf champion. Whiz Bang had competition of a sort in the older, equally unchaste Jim Jam Jems. When, in 1928, Jim Jam Jems' Editor Sam Clark attacked him in his magazine, Captain Billy bought him out. There after came Modern Mechanics and Inventions (later sued by Popular Mechanics on its title, and by Fritz von Opel, the German rocketeer, for an article concerning him) ; Startling Detective Adventures (sued by a North Dakota sheriff for an article...
