Mr. EngIishs Comprehensive Report
Special to the Sentinel.
WAsHINeToN, Feb. 25.-Congress has sev
eral times sat down upon propositions LOOK
ing toward prohibition or a control in lesser
degree of the liquor traffic throughout the
Union. Some of the blest lawyers in Congress
have rendered reports during the past few
years on bills, in which they have uniformly
held that the regulation of the sale OF liquor
is question for the States tlsne to deal
with, and one in which Congress can take
no part.
Mr.. English has just made a very CO npre
hensive report on bill looking towards an
alcoholic liquor traffic commission, snd be
too takes the-ground that 'any attempt to
control the personal habits and private con-
duct of the individual should be opposed so
long as he does not interfere with the per-
sonal rights of others, or the peace and order
OF society in general" and that ''it is mat
ter of grave doubt whether Congress has the
right to regulate the liquor traffic in the
several States of the Union"
Sometimes it looks like the temperance
people will become discouraged in their ap-
peals to Congress. They should, at any rate,
for il has bsen demonstrated in many ways
that the Constitution is in the way OF mat
ter OF this character.
