"PL UNDER OF MINORITY BY
SCANT MAJORITY" DEPL ORED
IN LIQUOR DEALERS SESSION
Secretary Debar inquiries
to Replace That Made From Liquor Industries.
Prohibition Un-American He Says

Louisville, KY, May 1O.-Joseph
Debar. secretary Of the National
Wholesale Liquor Dealers Associay-
ton, at this mornings session read a
long report, in which among other
things he made these remarks:
'"The federal government in 1914
derived one-third of its revenue from
the liquor industries. Two hundred
and tWenty-sixk million, two hundred
thousand dollars of this was received
from internal revenue and 100000
from import duties on liquors. In ad-
.dition, the states and counties deriv-
ed from liquor licenses a total of $79,-
100000, a total in the United States
from all sources of 1926, 100000. No
Anti-Saloon League orator or advo
cate has yet told US from what other
sources they will derive this revenue
should national prohibition prevail.
The Federal portion of this income
amounts to one-third the total rev.
enues of the Federal government.
'eWhile the per capita consumption
of liquors in the United States has for
some years remained stationary, the
per capita increase of sobriety has
augmented a thousand fold Excess
is today a rarity in our vast and rap
idly growing population. No better
evidenced Of this can be found than
during great celebrations in our large
cities when hundreds of thousands of
people walk our streets and no evil
dence of intoxication is seen any
where.
Nothing more clearly shows the
un-Amerfcan spirit of prohibition
than the tyrannical effort to force
prohibition upon the District of Co
1unbia without submitting the ques-
ton to a vote of the people of the
district. This unwillingness to trust
the people shows how little conf
Fdence the advocates of prohibition
have in the voters of their country.
Prohibition can be successfully en-
forced when only a very large majori-
ty of the people Of the United States
practice personal abstinence and are
personally opposed to the manufac-
ture and sale of liquor The books of
our Mail Order Houses which record
the demand from many dry states,
indicate that, our prohibition friends
are still large consumers for person
al and medicinal use.

world which permits one portion of

and, in some instances, even for those
who produce the raw material used
in the manufacture of the prescribed
liquors.
From all quarters we learn Of tre-
mendous shipments of beer, wine and
other liquors into the state of Georgia
from all directions in anticipation of
the May aridity. The curious feature
Of the stocking up has been the guam
tity of whiskey and wine laid in by
people who are not usually looked
uponN as drinkers and even by many
open advocates of prohibition.
Georgia has had statewide prohi-
bition for seven years. This last eff
fort on the part of the state to pro-
vide form of prohibition that will
really prohibit will be watched with
interest by the entire country at large,
especially in view of their experience
for the last seven years.

they become over-worked from the

the waste and poisons from the blood,
then we get sick. Nearly all rheuma-

urinary disorders come from sluggish
kidneys.
The moment you feel dull ache in
the kidneys or your back hurts or if
the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of
sediment, irregular of passage or at

Rev. Joseph Seiferman of Jewett City
Spoke at ST. Mary's Chureh-Per-

Notwithstanding the weather. good
sized congregation was present at the

on Tuesday evening at 7.30. Rev. FIR
FitzmauriCe led in the recitation of
the most holy rosary and litany of the
Blessed Virgin Mary and also off1ciat-
ed 1t benediction which closed the
services.
The Lenten sermon was preached by
Rev. Joseph Seiferman, curate at St.
Mary's church, Jewett City. Taking
for his theme What doth it profit a
man to gain the whole world and suf-
fer the loss of his soul, or what ex-
change shall a, man give for his soul?"
Father Seifernan sounded a warning
on the scenes which will confront man
at the general judgment on the last
day and said in part:
True to her mission for saving souls
holy mother church, the spouse of
Jesus Christ here upon earth, asks her
children during this Lenten period to
withdraw from the world and consider
the problem of life. On Ash Wednes-
day ashes were placed upon your fore
head to remind man that he was made
from the dust of the earth and into the
earth he must return one day. Yes
all tribes and nations must one day
be judged and our fate will be decided
in that general judgment.
Jesus Christ must be honored at the
general judgment. When that day Is,
Is unknown, so prepare for it. It is
possible We may be on this earth when
it comes. The New Testament tells
us that at the general judgment the
sun and moon will be darkened and
the works of man reduced to ashes
At the sound Of the trumpet all will be
clothed again in flesh and blood. But
the skeptic will say: How is this pos
sible? To God nothing is impossible
Did God seek the assistance of man to
create the world? Yes, all the tribes
and nations will be called for judg-
ment and the souls of the elect will
arise in triumph. Welcome. faithful
companions, you who practiced self
denial and have done works of pen

passions. Now the angels of God be-
