After routine business had been tram
sacted the Committee on Resolutions re-
ported the following, which were adopt
ed:
The fourteenth annual convention of
the Catholic Total Abstinence Union of
Wisconsin renews its expressions of
qualification in the growing strength of
the temperance sentiment throughout the
state. Conscious as we. are that we have
behind us the sympathetic and practical
aid of much wider constituency than
that here represented, we desire with
great confidence to reiterate the leading
principles of our movement. The Cath
Ole Total Abstinence union is organized
under the auspices of the Church and
invokes its blessings on all its undertake
ings. 1t appreciates and reveres the
heavenly aid of the sacraments and all
other spiritual means of grace. and ever
seeks the wise counsel and indispensable
aid of the Catholic priesthood. Because
it pledges itself strongly to the practice
of total abstinence, it does not debar it
from cheerfully recognizing the assist
ance of all believers in temperance re-
form in the extirpation of drunkenness
and in the social elevation of our race.
RESOLVED, That we recognize in the
high license law enacted by the recent
session of the Wisconsin Legislature a
fitting response to popular demand !;
that we believe this law ought to be sus-
tanned and, further, that every locality
should avail itself by popular vote of
the highest fee permitted by its provis-
ions.
RESOLVED, That strict enforcement of
the liquor laws and the purity of city
governments are best served by the CO
operation of all good citizens, prospect
i've of party, in the selection of men who
represent the public welfare rather than
the saloon traffic.
Resolved, That recognizing the service
of periodical lectures and temperance
demonstrations we urge this convention
to take practical measures in the organic
alton Of a state temperance lecture
bureau.
ResoAed, That we fully appreciate the
happy effects of the clear appreciation
and powerful recommendation given by
the Third Plenary Council of Baltimore
to our cause, and thankfully acknowl-
edge the incalculable aid bestowed on
our Union by the Most Rev. Archbishop
Heiss, and the Rt. Rev. Bishops Ireland,
Krautbauer and Flasch, and the Rev.
clergy who throughout our state have
promoted the good work of temperance.

possible, statement Of their subjects
and their charges that the list be print
