The "original package" decision does
not interfere with the enforcement of
the prohibitory laws against the saloons.
It does allow a person who wants
intoxieationg liquors to send to another
state ami got all he wants, but after he
has got his original package he can
neither sell nor give any part thereof to
any other person, without making him
self liable to go to jail tor the first offense
and to the penitentiary for the second.
Treating is strictly under the ban. No
drinking places can be maintained with
out incurring the penalties of the law.
Bro. Volkmar stired up the animals

self and then refused to pay what be

enough to steal acorn* from a blind pig.

aiticle on enforcement, takes undd

Bro. Battey should have gone on the

this department have services berating
the occasion. Let us not forget the
fallen, and those who fill the "unknown
grave," that while we live, the lives of
hundreds of thousandsof the bravest and
best went out in early manhood. It Is a
small tribute we can pay by strewing
their graves with spring's brightest flow

Sunday, May 25, a special memorial ser
mon be preached by soma minister sel
ected by the post in the town or city in
which the post is situated, and that *11
old soldiers, whether members of the
order or not, be invited to be present on
that occassion. It is also suggested that
the W. R. C. and the Sons of Veterans
be invited to participate in those services
and aid on memorial day.

Our late esteemed Commander in
Chief, Gen. John A. Logan, whose noble
deeds will never be forgotten by the
members of the Grand Army of the lie
public, said in the first general order
issued concerning memorial day in 18*18,
"We are organized, comrades, as our reg
ulations tell us, for the purpose, among
other things, of preserving and strength
ing those bind and fraternal feelings
which have bound together the eoldiers,
sailors and marine who united to sup
press the late rebellion." What can aid
more to assure this result than cherish
ing tenderly the memory of our heroic
dead, who made their breasts a barricade
between our country and its foes?
Their soldier lives were the reveilk of
freedom to a race in chains, and their
death the tattoo of rebellious tyranny in
arms, we should guard their graves with
•acred vigilance." If other eyes grow
dull and other ands slack, and other
hearts cold in the solemn trust,ours shall
keep it well as long as the light and
warmth ot life remains in us. Let us,
at the appointed time gather around
the'rgacred remains and garland the
passionless mounds above them with the
choice flowers of spring, let us raise above
them the dear old ting they saved Irom
dishonor.
We extend this general invitation to
parsons who can contribute flowers for
the occasion to bring them to church be
fore 10 o'clock, May 30, for res. assured
every old soldier is gratified for flowers
strewn, for garlands prepared, and for
every teur shed on these solemn occasions.

with the sale of any liquors imported into
any slate from another state or foreign

places ol resort and destroy the profit ot

there will be no money in it lor them.
Judge Henderson, ot
IO.VJ,
hag summar­
ized the decision accurately aud as con
cisely perhaps as may be necessary to
cover ail points. He states them as* fol
lows:
1. "That saloon keepers can
into this state from another slate or na
tion, any kinds of liquors in any kinds
of packages, however small, and sell any
packages, without regard to age, sex, col
or or previous condition, oven the veriest
sot without let or hindrance, so far as
any law to tho contrary is concerned.
It oughtn't be so—if they have differences
they ought to settle them without bring
ing reproach on the religion which they
profess. To them is entrusted more
than merely their own reputations— their
quarrels tend to make a mockery of sa
cred thing.- which are far more import
ant than the persons eugaired therein.
1» there any of these bickerers whose
heart is never stirred to a prajer like this:
"Heavenly Father, 1 pray thee that in
all I may say or do in settlement of the
import differences which have arisen iu this as
sociation of thy servants, I may have no
thought of anything but promotion of
thy holy cause. May I be constantly
watchful that no desiro for mere selfish
and personal triumph shall become dom
inant in mv heart. Lead me to regard
in all brotherly kindness those with
whom I may differ in this matter, and
inspire us all with the sole purpose of
strengthening thy church and make it a
constant power for good in this commun
ity. Bless this contreversy and make it
the means ol extending thy kingdom
upon the earth. If in anything which 1
may do there shall be forgetlulness of
Christian charity, restrain me and keep
me always humble and my heart turned
constantly to thee in ready willingness to
do only those things which shall glorify
thee. Preserve us all from any spirit or
conduct which shall be a reproach on
thy church and a stumbling-bkx'k to our
neighbors. Help our weak humanity
by thy divine grace, ami keep us free
bom the sins which do so easily beset us.
Amen."
