BILL PASSED FOR
50-CENT WHISKY TAX

The House, by a vote of rs to 4,
passed the Vance bill, providing for
the levying of a tax of so cents a
gallon on the little more than 38,000,-
900 gallons of whisky now in bonded
warehouse in Kentucky.
1t is estimated that the bill, if it
becomes a law, will produce between
$19,000,000 and $20,000,OOO in rev.
enue to the State.
The bill provides that rs per cent.
of this fund is to be applied to the
improvement and maintenance Of
roads and 25 per cent. is to go to the
general expenditure fund.
AT the outset of the debate on the
bill the statement was made that H.
100000 barrels of whisky have been
withdrawn from the State since the
Legislature convened. This seems to
have the effect of squirting the legis-
lature to action, and the proposed
measure was called from the commit
tee and passed by the decisive vote
given above.
The bill has an emergency clause,
and if passed by the Senate, as It is
likely to be, and approved by the
Governor, it will became operative
at once.
The Smith bill, recognizing the
road department of the State, Great
ing State Highway Commission and
designating a State system of high
ways, came up for consideration in
the House on special orders, and
caused considerable discussion. One
OF the results of the consideration of
the provision to make the civil engi-
neer at the University of Kentucky a
member of the commission. Approx
mately forty amendments have been
tackled on to the bill.

A PERSONAL LETTER
Dear Madam or Sir:

DCdi VI oil
"Checkers" is coming to the Tabb
Theatre next Monday, February 20.
This is some news to announce.
"Checkers" is the most successful
racing melodrama of the last twenty
five years on the American stage. Its
situations are thrilling and its humor
and sentiment have kept millions on
the edge Of their seats 'twixt laugh
ter and tears.
Now it has been done as big spe-
cial film production by William Fox.
I've seen it and know that the screen
version not only equals, but excels
the stage version. It has all the
drama, all the humor and all the love
interest, with plenty of thrills as these
can be produced only on the screen
and staged only by a director like
Richard Stanton. The exciting horse
race scenes, the train wreck, the fight
in the box car, the encounters in
Chinatown and the aeroplane flights
will hold you spellbound. The beauti-
full love scenes will enchant you.
You'll enjoy the cast. There are
Tom Carrigan as "Checkers" and
lovely Jean Acker as Pert Barlow.
Then there are Ellen Classify, Peggy
Worth, Robert. Elliott, Tammany
Young, Bertram Marburgh and Ed.
Sedgwick.
I'll send you a postal card later,
that you may not overlook the dates,
for I'll promise you that you'll enjoy
Checkers" more than any other fea-
ture you've seen in long, long time.
Yours for the best pictures,
w. B. Small, Manager.

Confrater Gabriel of our Lady's
Dolors. Gabriel was model novice,
truly and sincerely seeking and prac-
ticing every virtue. He surmounted
every difficulty when virtue was at
stake. He fought the good fight, and
was always victorious, as his holy life
proves.
His year of novitiate completed, he
made his vows on September %, 1857.
A few days later he began his studies
in preparation for the priesthood, a
consolation which for reasons known
only to God, he was not to expert
ence. The continual drag on his weak
constitution of upward of five years of
study in no way dampened his effort
in his strife for perfection. He had
his temptations and trials, but these
he used as a means to the end, name

lotted course in a few short but fruit
full years. He died in the odor of
sanctity on February q, 1862. Many
miracles wrought through his interces-

testing his sanctity.
Gabriel became a Saint by being
faithful to the small duties of daily
life Well did he grasp the meaning
of the words, "He that is faithful in
little things will be faithful in those
which are greater His fidelity has
today crowned him with the title of
Saint and will not God crown us also,
perhaps not in this life, but in the
next, if we too are faithful to our
daily duties.

THE MEMORY OF MAY.

There are memories that linger how
sOever men may change,
Howsoever Fortune lures us into
places new and strange;
Howsoever on our heart the hand of
sorrow may be laid,
There are bright and blessed pictures
of the past that never fade.
Many a happy dream of boyhood in
remembrance still remains,
Many a picture of the past my sad
dened spirit still retains.
But the sweetest, best reminder of
the days used to know
Is the memory of May-time in old Ire
land long ago!
All, the memory of May-time. Alb, the
skies so sWeetly blue!
All, the scented apple blossoms in the
orchard wet with dew.
All, the race upon the river and the
hunt upon the hill.
All, the vagrant-hearted laddie vain
ly striving to be still!
All, the call so clear, so Turing, of the
cuckoo in the glen.
All, to follow him, the herald of the
summertime, again.
All, to leave the years behind us with
the burdens that we know,
For our youth and all it's sweetness
in the May-time long ago!
suN~s -
Let the city's trade and traffic roll be-
fore me as it will,
can see the hawthorn shake its snow
white blossoms on the rill.
Let the city's noise and hustle roar
around me as it may,
| can hear linnet singing in wood
land far away!
Let the city's smoke enshroud me,
can pierce it's deepest gloom,
| can see mountain purpled with the
heather all in bloom,
| can see the children hieing to a
place where flowers grow
All, those flowers for Mary's altar in
the May-time long ago!

SAINT GABRIEL.

From May Is of this year. Blessed
Gabriel of Our Lady's Dolors, Passion
list, Blessed Margaret Mary, and
Blessed Joan of Arc will universally
be invoked as Saints.
Of these three servants of God,
Blessed Gabriel of our Lady's Dolors
is, perhaps, the least known. Gabriel,
known before his entrance into relig-
ion as Francis Possenti, was born on
March 1, 1898, at Assist, Italy. He
was baptized on the same day of his
birth at the very font where seven
hundred years before Francis of AS
sisi became a child of God.
Gabriel's boyhood days, as we gath
err from his biography, were some
what frivolous. In the midst of his
worldlness the foul breath of sin
never furnished his soul. He knew
that he bore within his breast treas
ure, which treasure God demanded of
him on three different occasions The
Divine Master stood at the door of his
heart and knocked. The gentle raps
were heard, but not hearkened to. The
world, it would seem, had almost COM
pletely won his heart. Her charms
so fascinated him that special grace
was needed to break the bonds that
held him captive. The Divine call so
haunted his soul that the world, which
before displayed to his eager heart
| only pleasure, now presented him bit
terness.
Francis succeeded in putting this
first call aside for while. The world
in the meantime again cast her net
about his heart, lifted him out of the
sea Of bitterness, and once more gave
the pleasure seeking boy her hand in
dowry and let him feel and partake of
her joys. Like all worldly pleasures,
his were not lasting. The Master
turned away sorrowful, only to return
and try again. Once more He stood
at the door and knocked, but was told,
There is no ROOM
Francis was eighteen when he
heard the Divine call for the third
| and last time. His conversion was
wrought by a simple glance at the
image of our Blessed Mother. AS he
gazed upon the image of our Lady,
her eyes seemed to search the depths
| of his soul, and her voice spoke clear
| ly to his heart these words: why
| dost thou tarry in the world? Ny Son
would have thee in the cloister" In
an instant the chains which bound him
to the world were broken forever, to
be reforged into chain Of gold that
| would bind him forever to his Cruel
fed Lord on the Cross. The world

but my Father Who is in heaven.
Thou are Peter (the rock)."
Though many Protestants have
given up the unhappy attempts of eX-
PLANTATION of former times, still they
are far from admitting the primacy of
st. Peter. They go around this pas
sage in an easier way by declaring
that this passage was not in the
original Gospel, but was struggled in
after the year $50. At the same time
they assume (of course contrary to
historic facts. Ed that the promise
to Peter was not known in the early
centuries. Thus they happily set
aside all the claims of the Papacy.
We do not believe that the at
tempt to do away with our text will
have much of a future. Violenta non
durant, violent things do not last.
Moreover, this attempt strikes Prot
estantism, as far as it is still believing,
harder than the Catholic Church. For
the Catholic is bound for his faith in
the primary of Peter neither to Holy
Scripture alone nor to this one pas
sage of the Gospel of st. Matthew.
But what will the Protestant do with
his one source of faith, Holy Scrip
ture, if formal heresies were intro
duced into the Holy Book only one
generation after the death of the last
Apostle and were not recognized as
such for over thousand years." (P.
Kneller, S. J., in Stimmen aus Maria
Laach, vol 80, PIP. 1921, 2SS, 375, with
thorough REPUTATION of this theory)
