the retail LIQUOR traffic has from the fouada-
tion OF the Union been regarded the exslu
siYe right OF the States rather than the
General Government. Attempts have b en-
made by some Of the STATES 70 entirely pfo.

malt liq aors, but with little apparent sue
cess, sad the interests of temperance Aad

/ To the several States Of the Unitsd States
properly belong the right to enact sach local

proper restriction around the lieuor
and property rights OF citizens, but uniform
| policy of regulations enacted by Congress
| practically suited to the different wan IS aud
requirements OF the people OF all the various
States would be difficult to frame and more
! difficult to enact. ANY atten pt to control
the personal habits and private conduct OF
individuals should be opposed so long as DE
