Faunce, responding to the toast, "Production of th Pilgrim Spirit," said In part: In no place are the sons of the Pilgrims more needed tod-ay than In the life of our great cities.

Our stste governments are for the most part upright and efficient, but American Intelligence and character have not been equal as yet to mtmicipHl success. The sons of the Pilgrims should see to It that we maintain total separation of municipal administration from national politicians. ftm' rurms of tyranny must be met by the resurrection of the old spirit. Let John l o l,,wn a-am open his Blole and let the mighty spirits of Hrewster, Carver and Wtnslow speak again from the soil of old Plymouth and tell us that liberty, civil, religious and Industrial, Is their bequest and our birthright. In response to tbe toast "New England of Today" Winston Churchill said, in part: In a hundred years an empire has sprung into existence One of the most typical Americans that ever lived.

The largest of New England has resigned Itself to Its fate not an unpleasant one of becoming a park for the rest of the Unltfld States. All our legislation in New Hamp shire Is tending this way. We have a pro gressive party in our legislature, which Is gradually gaining ground, and we hope soon to build roads so that we may sell our abandoned farms and take advantage of th new class of citisens which this latest evolution has brought about.

Judge McPher son of the tedersl court today overruled th decision of the state supreme court, which held that the Adams Express com pany was carrying on the business of a retail liquor dealer when it delivered liquors ordered outside tbe state.

Tbe government claimed that title was transferred to thu company when it received C. O. D. packages. Judge Mc pherson, however, says: The only question to be considered In the case is where and by whom the liquor was sold. If In Illinois, the court Is without Jurisdiction. If by the Dallas company In Iowa, then the grand Jury has erreil In naming the defendant In this indictment. Did the Adams Express company carry on the business of liquor dealer In Iowa? A common carrier may exact carrying charges In advance, or may waive prepay ment, In which event it has and retains a lien on such merchandise for carrying charges, payment of which by consignee removes the Hen In such case the carrier has no Interest or profit In the transac tion, other than as a carrier.
