STATE HOARD 1!AS NO R1011' TO [K TURN I ZE) cOO)S. ImportHant Opinion of Attorney c)enwal Rtiov'ng stlo of Much TIrn..ne Work -The Text, [The state, 7th ] A very material change in the exe ention of the State dispensary law can-:e about yestordlay b)y the Attorney *General in answer to a regnest from whe chairman of the State board of reotors. All along it has been sup ed that the power to return liquor property seized by the c->nstabu was vested in the State board this boar,d has been exercising privilege. In fact much of the e of the board has been taken up each meeting with the consider ion of applications for the return of ized goods. The Attorney Gieneral, ostate the result briefly, holds that the State board~ has nothing wvhatever to do with the matter, but that the power of release of goods seized by the constables rests solely with the Gov enor of the State who appoints and directs the work of the constables. But here is the opinion addressed to Chairman Williams, wvhich brings about the change and states the rea eons for the .position taken by Mr. N ~ ellin ger: Dear Sir: You ask my opinion as to the jurisdiction of your board in cases of claims mad1e for the return of "good3s, wares, merchandise and other property" seized under the *provisions of the dispensary law, the contention of the claimants' being that suoh seizure was unwarantedi and improper. You further ask whether, in my opinmon, you have jurisdiction to considler claims made for the.release of horses, mules, wag ons, bugtries, etc., used in the tranis portation of contraband liquor and seized by the Stato constabh. Replying, I beg to say t'int I find nowhere in the 'btatutes any power given you, or duty imposed upon vaon. tn act inlinially in the ase. Tn I G ciate the fac t you people or, and put t , and none over Big lot of those Syoung folks. \ uff cheap. Our FVE my opinion, it is not orn of (Iu dn ties to direct or control the seizure of any contraband liquor, "goods, wares, inerchandiso, or other prop erty," nor are the constables made your deputies for the execution and enforcement of the dispensary law. The sections relating to such seiz ures and the disposition of the prop erty are Nos. 31 and 38 of the ct approved March 5, 1897. Section 31 provides the manner in which persons, claiminig to be improperly deprived of thleir goods, maiiy seek and get relief, and the courts of the State are the tribunals thorein men tioned to pass upon the question of the legality of the seizure. Section 38 provides for the seizure, confiscation and sale of the property by the officer entrusted with the pro cess. In cases of seizure of liquors, etc., unloss the bond provided for in section 31 is executed in favor of the State board of control within the time liminited, the forfei tu re b)ecomeos complete andl there is no remedy provided in the dispensary law where. by the claimant of the liquors can recover them. But shonld thle bond be properly executed and filed, as provided, the forfeiture is stay aid or suispendled until the question of the liability of the liquor seibura is doe termined b)y the magistrate or other court having jurisdiction. Of coni traband liquor seized, in my opinion the State board of conitrol is merely the trustee of the State actin -as the custodian of the liquors seizedl anid has no power to pass upon the rights of the claimants nor to waive the claim of the State to such contraband ignors. Permit me to suggest that your board has no general oxecutive pow eirs, the powers of the board being exhaustively set out in thme dImpen sary law. I may add that the Gov ernor is the only general executive officer of the State; ia fact, is prop erly called the chief executive. It is, under the constitution, his duty to have the laws of the State executed through such agencies as the consti tution and the statalfes have provided. Among the laws to he 'ixecte is t that money Toys for the i he price dowi lOc. Every imag 50c. covered di Ve will only be w: seven big stores SUMMER BLOC ShoIl dispensary law. [le statutes povido his excellncy with such num1 bor of dispensary constablos a1s he mlay see fit to appoint and they havo delined tiheir dltios. These consta bles, as it were, act. ill (hO1 proisies as the special doput ies of the Gover. nor, and when seizuros are IIado it is presumed that. they are Ilado by the Governor through his agents. Should the Governor ho satisfied, in a given case, I hat the seizur was un walrranlted1 anld impjroper undelr the law~, it is mfy opinion thaiit ho is em p)owered to havo tho seizuire vaicated and1( t.he goods rotutrneod to the lawful In ordler to make1( this point plainl, I wouIld say) t.hait it occurs to) me1 that the position of the Governor with re lation to the conlstales and1 their seizulre is anIalogous; to t.hat which the high sheriff, the chiof executive oflicor of a counity, sus8tains .to his8 special deput ies iln cases of levy dIi rected1 by him. Should thle special doputy, by i st ako or for any othIer rOoo, seizo property 3'nqustionatbly not liable to thle levy for any cause, the 81heri ff should, uinder the view tha1t it is his aict, though done through a subor0 dinate, elect to re lease the levy and return the prop erty. In other words, if the seizure mlado, he suchl that the alleriff would niot personally have~ maide, he 1has a right to dloOlin11 to contfirm thie action of thle dleputy. M1 u, vde rei ti an ,bbe d1.

Starting from thn same locality, each represented the divergent flow of streams of settle nont into contrasting Onvirorrnients. The result of tlhose antagonistic streams of migration to the West. waH a struggle betweon the Lake and Prairie plainsmen, on the one side', and the Gulf plainsmon, on the other, for the possession of the Mississippi Val Iey. It was the crucial part of the struggle betweon the Northern and Southern sections of the nation. What gave slavery and( State sover eignty their power as issues was the fact that they involved the cluestion of dlominance over commron territory in an expanding nation. The place of the Middle West in the origin anid settlement of the great slavery strug gle is of the highest significance. Advert Iett Letters Itemaining in t,he postollice at New berry, S.
