Louisvile. Ky, Jan. 22.-Denuncla,
ton of prohibition as lnslncere CIV
fauacious gave way today to a taking
Of tha sense of the delegates to the
second annual convention OF the Nd
tional Model License League upon tnS
question of regulating tne
liuuOr trade of the country. lHlS =
suited in the adoption OF r~esoiutloi9
bv the several hundred
| present from al parts OF the United
| States.
The resolutions. in part. follow:
First. that as representatives o.
the brewing. wine-making and dlstll'
ing trades, and of wholesale liquor
! dealers. SaIOon-keeperS, ~nn-keepefs
ard members of collateral trades. we
protest against all ntemperance IN the
use of beverages anu
against all laWlessness OF every sort
Whatsoever in the ale OF such beVer-
ages.
Second, that intemperance is q
curse, and every man who becomes m
toxicated should be arrested and pros
ecuted.
Third, that treating which is re-
sponsible for so large q percentage OF
involuntary intemperance, should be
opposed by public sentiment ana py
every member of our trade.
our that the licenses of all re-
tail LIQUOR dealers who vioiate the law
should be cancelled.
Fifth. that prohibition in ust~Amer-
lean; that it is opposed 20 the idea OF
individual sovereignty and TO the
spirit of our institutions: and further
more, it must continue to be merely 9
costly absurdity as long as it prohibits
only the manufacture and sale of al
coholic beverages.
.'Sixth, tina when prohibition
whether for State or county, is sub
mitted to the people it should pro
hibit, not only the sale but the pur.
chase, possession and use of wine
beer and Whiskey.
seventh. that the county should
not be the unit in local option con
tests as it does not represent tn
American principle. of local self-gov
ernment.
Eighth, that where prohibition i
! adopted by a legislature or a people
the manufacturer and dealers IL
wine, beer and Whiskey should b.
| compensated for investments mad
