LEGISLATION FAILS

One of the great reasons for the
enact laws against the liquor traffic
is due to the fact that a very large
part of the entire receipts of the o..
S. government comes from the liquor
business.
The internal revenue tax on liquors
was first proposed as a war measure,
but it has finally come to be one of
the greatest sources of revenue for
the Federal government, second only
to the United States customs receipts
The total receipts of the United
States government from all sources
for 1907 was $S46,725,34O OF this
amount the postal receipts were
$1S3, 1885, O06. The customs receipts
were s332,233,363, and the internal
revenue receipts were 1863, 664 1923.
The total internal revenue receipts
on all articles except intoxicating Ii
quors amounted to $50, 8 1903, leav-
ing a total of $215, 904, 72O on intoxi-
eating liquors alone. Thus it will be
seen that more than on%e-fourth of
all the receipts of the United States
government come from the tax on
Intoxicating liquors.
II it were not for this $215, 904, 100
which comes into the United States
treasury every year from the tax on
liquors, it would not be difficult to
secure proper ~anti-liquor legislation
in congress. There are, of course,
those among the members of congress
who would vote with the liquor inter
ests in all events, but the one power
full weapon which the brewers and IL
quor dealers have thus far used with
such telling force on the members
of congress-, through the medium of
the Speaker of the House and certain
of his ehnchmen, has been the fact
that 25 per cent of all the revenue
OF the United States comes from tne
production and sale of intoxicating
liquors.-Anti-Saloon League Bulletin

New Catholic Temperance Primer.

New Catholic Temperance Primer.
The new Catholic temperance prim-
er which is being compiled by Bishop
Canevin, of Pittsburg, and which the
Catholic Total Abstinence Union of
America is promoting, promises to be
a valuable addition to the temperance
forces Of the Catholic church in the
fight for total abstinence. The recent
convention of the Catholic Total Alb
s%tinence Union Of America, held in
New Haven, Connecticut, appointed
a committee of prominent Catholic
clergymen, whose business it would
be to obtain the latest n most sci
entifc information on all subjects on
which the primer treats.
1t is stated on good authority that
this primer when completed will in
all probability be used in all the Cath
Ollie schools Of the country, and will
form the basis for the teaching OF
scientific temperance to Catholic
children.

Scientific Temperance Charts.

Scientific Temperance Charts.
Scientific temperance charts, which
are being used in a large number OF
the public schools Of the United States
have aroused a storm of protest on
the part of the liquor fraternity, be-
of the terrific arguments ag-
ainst the use of intoxicating liquors
which these charts set forth. The
charts have been carefully prepared
by scientific experts, and the facts
which they set forth, while startling,
are the results of the most thorough
scientific Investigations.
Dr.. T. A. Nicholl, of New York, pre-
pared the statistics on heredity which
are shown on these charts with tell
ing effect. The records show tina one
French and English family of mod
crate drinkers, in well-to-do circum-
stances, had So descendants. OF
these, only 8 were normal. Two of
the remaining 80 were suicides, g had
suicidal mania, 8 were confirmed
drunkards, 4 were prostitutes, and IS
had tuberculosis.
Another record of 76 families of
moderate drinkers, with 236 descend
ants, shows thai only sc were nor
NAL. Eight of the remaining number
were insane, p were confirmed drum
kards, 8 were idiots, and 149 had or
ganic disease or neurosis.
Still another record shows that / n
113 descendants, only 20 were nor
NAL. OF the remaining SO, 16 were
z were epileptics, 8 were
dwarfs, z were idiots, and So had or

to join the first squadron. The dis
lance is 700 miles and they are due

Gle. The cost OF the reception here ex-
ceeded a million dollars. The Chinese
government lavished gifts on officers
and men, and the final official func-

ment was declared by the Americans
to have been the best with the excep
