Total Abstinence League, is pub

Arehiepiscopal Residence at NAL
ines, Oct. 81, t9ii.-Rev. Father: The
Catholics, and especially the priests,
assembled at the thirteenth Interna-
tional Anti-Alcoholic Congress at
The Hague to organize the war
against alcoholism have had the
happy inspiration to draw closer the
bonds of friendship so as to stand
more united in their efforts.
During the two years which sepa-
rate you from the fourteenth con-
gress, which is to be held in Milan,
you propose to increase among the
clergy the League of Abstainers and
you nourish the hope to perfect also
an international federation of all
leagues of Prists' Total Abstainers.
Gladly do I second the efforts of
your holy zeal and pray to God to
make them fruitful.
Does not the spirit OF. mortifica-
tion, which the Gospel breaches, in
vite also to embrace abstinence?
And conversely, does not abstinence
from alcohol foster excellently the
spirit of Christian modification?
Accept, Reverend Father, my sem
timents of most cordial devotion.

Sheppard-kenyOn Bill.

The Southern Patriot of New Or
leans says: This new bill, just in
|troduced in Congress and referred
to the House and Senate judiciary
committee, is receiving unstinted
praise and commendation from all
sections of the country. It does not
undertake to interfere with grant
ing licenses to sell liquor where the
people want to do so, but only to
give each State the right to enforce
Its own laws enacted for the pro-
hibltlOn of the sale of intOxicants.
Consequently newspapers and states
men favor the bill regardless of
their views as to statewide or ma
|tionwide prohibition. It remains to
be seen what the president of the
Model License League and men of
that ilk will do, who have been con-
tending that, if rigid prohibition
were maintained in so-ca11ed dry
communities, it would defeat itself.
The New York Post says: "The
purpose of Senator kenyon's bill
fOrbidding interstate common car
rlers to transport liquor the ship
|ment OF which would be in violation
|Or the laws of the state, territory or
|dlstrict into which it was shipped,
lis one that should command the ap-
proval of right minded persons,
whatever their views on the ques-
ton of prohibition. Nobody denies
the constitutional right of a State to
enact prohibitory laws on the sub
iject of liquor; and it ought to be
the desire of honest men, if they ad-
init this, to let the States have a fair
chance to carry out such policy as
they may deliberately adopt. If, as
many opponents of prohibition are
convinced, the rigorous execution of
the law, without such mitigation of
lit as comes from facilities which in
terstate commerce affords for it's
notification, would demonstrate the
|intolerableness of the States policy,
this would be sure to lead to repeal:
if, on the other hand, the people
found the results satisfactory, they
are entitled to have their way. The
Question is one for each State to SET
tie for itself, and the object of such
bills as Senator Kenyon's is to give
each State a fair chance to make it's
own experiments"
