CLAIMS DRY LAW - ILLEGAL FORM. Y. Lawyer Says Aceeptance of National Act Violates State Constitu_tion. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, September 26.—Emlen Hare Miller, a-lawyer, announced he had flled = petition with State At- torney General Sherman _alleging that New York state's ratification of the elghteenth amendment was in Wiolation of the state constitution and asking for’a public hearing of this charge, with view to a test of the valldity of' the legistature's ac- tion. The application was made, he said, at the suggestion of Gov. Smith, with whom he has been in_.corre- spondence in the matter. Mr. Miller said Te had called the ®overnor's attention to the fact tha & number of years prior to the vatls fication of the eighteenth amendment by the legislature the state ‘coirt of appeals ‘decided. in the celebrated opinjon in the case of Wynehamer vs. People, that the legislature was forbidden by the state constitution from passing any act which confls- cated property in alcoholic liquers theretofare owned by citizens of the atate and legally aequired. ect of Preced: This determination, s modified, amounted to a prohibition of the agtion taken by the legislature upon the elghteenth amendment, ac- cording to Mr. Miller. In one of his letters to Gov. Smith Miller sald the proposed test would be of direct interest to all the states, since the private property guarantee contained in the New York constitu- tion is in effect duplicated in every other. ing un- Referred to Sherman. Gov. Smith, according to Mr. Miller, had partially arranged to grant him a hearing. Upon receipt, however, of a letter from Miller on August 22, the &overnor's .ecretary wrote: v. Smith has read your various letters and feels that the matter in which you are Interested is one which vou should take up with the attorney general. I think if vou will advise him at Albany, he will make an en- gagement to meet you in New York, Wwhen you can go over the entire sub- ject with him.” As a result of this letter, the at- térney general conferred with Mr. Miller on September 8, at which time he suggested that a formal petition and brief be filed.

The men who were boys when you were a boy will remember an old advertisement that used to be headed: “Get lots of mail.” The advertisement appealed to the desxre of every bov (is it boys only?) to iget mail. You sent 10 cents and were placed on the mai ing list of a mail order house. You got mail. Your name was known to some one in a city. You were not obscure. No person likes to be obscure. To the average man or woman there is a subtle flattery in the receipt of a piece of mail that induces a warm, friendly feeling to- wards the sender. There are hardly any persons who would like to be so abscure that no merchant ever sent them a book- let—no manufacturer ever sent them a catalog—no one ever considered them as possible buyers of anything. That, of,course, is not the whole secret of the success of direct-by-mail advertising. But it is one reason why good house organs are popular with many customers. It is one reason why wise managers of big industries is- sue an employes’ newspaper. It is a reason why banks secure any number of savings accounts by good cir- cularizing.
