Mr. Culbertson TAX said the effect
OF the Senate bill would DO 10 transfer
a power vested exclusively IN Congress
90 the States, and the States themselves
would execute power which they had
parted with when the constitution was
adopted The Senate bill rested on the
false and fallecious theory that the
States might rely on Congress for
grant Of power 20 regulate the traffic in
intoxicating EQuo-s- II the House sub
stitute should become q law il would be
as well 20 strike from the constitution
the clause giving Congress the right 10
make commercial regulations.
Mr.. Adams Ill.l said that the unli-
censed original package shop was the
cause OF all the present agitation.
Everybody was agreed that the unli-
censed shop should be abolished. He
did not believe that the remedy for
the original package saloon could be
found in either of the proposed meas
ures. He argued in favor OF a substi-
tute, defining an original package of
Intoxicating liquors n bottles as a case
containing not less than dozen bottles,
and when not in bottles as cask coz
tanning not less than Eve gallons.
Mr.. Reed ia whose decision as
judge was overruled by the decision of
the Supreme Court spoke in favor of
the proposed legislation. He could not
indulge in the hope expressed by the
gentleman from Illinois that on re-
hearing OF the question different result
would be arrived at He was informed
that a rehearing had been applied
for and denied. II any relief was to be
given the people from the wrong and
evil TO society growing out OF the de-
cision of the Supreme Court 1t lay in
the direction pointed out by the pend
ing bills. They delegated no power to
the State. They merely exercised the
power delegated to Congress to oregulate

Mr.. Henderson Ua.) said that no de-
cision rendered by the Supreme Court
since that court had decided that a
human soul was proper article of mer-
chandise had so excited the feelings OF
the country as the original package
decision. No good citizen would fail to
submit to the decision of the court But
he (Mr. Henderson, would not sit down
with folded hands and wait until the
Supreme Court made some other de-
cision. While he was willing to recog-
nize the decision as the -, he was un
willing 10 sit still one moment and sub
nit 70 the operation Of that decision If
there was lawful remedy, and he be-
lieved that there was. Let gentle
men not forget that the Supreme
Court in throwing this legal thun-
derbolt into the republic did not fail
TO send it with q cure. 1t cried out to
Congress: while We believe this to be
our duty, we believe it is your duty TO
remedy the evil" The peoIie of the
country, without regard to party or pol
itics-the people who bended the knee
and uncovered their heads. in the pres
ence of God and their fellow-men, ap-
pealed to Congress for its action, and
for one he would not hesitate to act.
Pending further debate the House
took a recess. the evening session 70 be
for the considera tion Of private pension
bills. However, nothing was done at
the evening session, Mr.. Enloe raising
the point Of no quorum.
