Whiskey Tax is
Held Unconditional

Kentucky laws levying special
tax on liquors withdrawn from the
bonded warehouses were held invalid
Monday by the Supreme Court. Sew
eral millions Of dollars in taxes al
ready collected by the state were in
volved.
The court sustained lower courts
which had granted an injunction to
the Kentucky DistilIeries and Ware
house Company and the J. and A.
Frieburg Company preventing inter-
ference by the state authorities to
withdraways Of liquor in which the
tax had been paid.
The Supreme Court upheld DEGREES
of the federal district court for the
Eastern Kentucky District that the
law under which the taxes we're col
lected violated both the state and
federal constitutions.
The state argued that there was
no competition in the liquor bust
ness now and that the tax therefore
could not be considered confisca-
tory.
The decision of the Supreme
Court that the Vance bill, imposing
50-cent- gallon tax on whiskey is
demonstrations lost Kentucky 49,
1855 for road construction. Since
the bill became effective 4,949,000
gallons of whickey we're withdrawn
from bonded warehouses, and under
the decision of the Supreme Court
the state lost a tax of 48 cents. on
each gallon. Under the old law,
which imposed a two-cent gallon
tax on Kentucky, the state will re-
ceive $9s,9sO on the 4,949, 900 bar
rels withdrawn.

AS many children's are;
Within her heart she kept light
Brave.burning, as a star.
With dawn she laughed, and knew the

For magic dreams afar.
With beauty sweet as Heaven;
There was glory on her face,
Like roses hushed at even.
She lost not sanetifying grace
Her virtues, they were seven.
And nightly round her hallowed bed
The Angels came to sing;
Unknown, they wove about her head
: A mystic blidal-ring.

eShe wears, to- greet her King"
And one spoke: "See, her hands, how
still
They lie upon her breasti -s,
From her dear brow we shall distill
For Virgin-Mary blest,
A lily-bloom whose incense will
Give some poor sinner rest"
Nay, Womanhood was not for her,

She who was long Gods chofister,
Gladly took Death for guide.

With love divine af1ame for her

Consider, in the first place, that, as
soon as man is known to be in
danger of death, it is the duty OF
those who are responsible, to make
the fact known to him. There is no
greater want of true charity than to
conceal from a dying man his real
condition. Now, once he is aware OF
the serious state in which he finds
himself, he will Cf he is properly

the Sacrament. He already knows
that he is in some danger OF
death. But he also knows that this
Sacrament has been especially insti
tued to free the soul from the langOul
and infirmity produced by sin. and
to comfort and strengthen it, amid its
sufferings, and also to restore even
bodily health, if God see that this be
for the good of the sick person. Il
he be a man of any faith, these mo
tives will inspire him with hope, an6
will fill him with strong desire tt

still hope of recovery. Indeed, the.

to anoint the sick, are accustomed t.
wait till all hope Of recovery is at al
end, and the dying have become I'm
