great number of these communications has

.3..---f SachsISettS. $3.50
The latest evidence taken by the Massa-.

Bishop Eastburn testified to the increase
of intemperance, but did not believe in to-
tai abstinence as universal principle. r7- !.

the genius of our institutions. h --.y. Z

all efforts to coerce men in matters of pri-
vate habit made them more determined to
continue the practices which were assailed.

that there was more moderate drinking at

that the form of effort for temperance in
1926 and 1927 was the most efficient which
had been employed. He did not think a
prOhibitOry law was bar to moral agen-
cies, but that it formed an excuse for a
neglect of the use of such agencies. -,.--

| joy the efforts to cultivate grapes in this
country, as be considered such cult alton
one of the best means of making temper
ance DODulation :. he Thought if the cultl-
Yation was more general there would be
no need for a prohibitory law. He stated
that temperance societies had assisted in
importing pure wines into Norway. and
that in that country and in Denmark and
Sweden, intemperance had been greatly
checked by the introduction of such wines
and fermented liquors specially beer. He
expressed amaZement at the interference
of our Government with the modes of liv-
ing of the people. He had no doubt that
our facilities-especially in Ohio, Missouri
and California-were as favorable for wine
growing as those of Europe, and that the
pursuit might become profitable part OF
our agriculture and commerce. 1,.a.-F

parties.
sAs the direction of the German mind
generally is turned toward peace and its
lab0rs, the Confederate Association of the
German States will mainly assume a de-
fensive character, The German movement
of recent years has borne no hostile tend
ency toward our neigllbOrs, no striving af-
ter conquest, but has arisen solely from the
necessity of atfording the broad domains
from the Alps to the sea the fundamental
conditions of political progress which the
march of development in former centuries
has impeded. The German races unite
only for defense, and not for attack, and
that their brotherhood is also regarded in
this light by adjacent nations is proved by
the friendly attitude OF the .mightiest Eu-
ropean States, which see Germany. without
apprehension and envy, take possession of
those same advantages of great political
commonwealth which they themselves
have already enjoyed for centuries.
1t, therefore, now only depends upon us
upon our unity and our spatriotism--to
secure to entire Germany the guarantees O.

me TO use your celebrated Stomach Bittera, but
being morally opposed to the use of stinulants
