The manufacture, Importation. exportation, transportation and •ale of all alcoholic liquors as a beverage shall be, and hereby is, forever prohibited In the United States snd every place subject to their Jurisdiction. 810- 1. Congress shall enforce this article by sU needful legislation. In submitting this favorable report upon the eforeseid Joint resolution ll Is proper to say that there are members of reoommendlng the submission or the proposed amendment to the States who do not, by such scllun indicate their approval of the adoption of the amendment as s part of the Constitution, nor that they would thrmselvos advocate iu ratification by Ihe legislatures of the States; but In reference to the lmmcnte mass of petitions far this amendment ol the organic lew, coming from the peo. pie in all parts of the country, and heBering that an opportunity should be given to them lo be heard upon the merits of their cause in Ihe form of the States, where alone it can be heard and decided, the majority ol the committee would deem a refusal to submit the proposed amendment to the Suites for consideration analogous to the denial of the right of a pxrly to be heard In court upon a question of private right. The method provided In the Coastilu. lion for iu own peaceful amendment would be destroyed by failure lo submit the proposition for amendment in cases of crave moment Involving the approval and prayers onuultltudes of the people, for where the remedy sought is admitted to be without the lurisdictlon of the fundameatal law, the petition ta really addressed to the only tribunal which can enlarge that Jurisdiction, thai la to say, to the States theumelvea Should, then. Congress In such case refuse to submit the popoaals to the States, such refusal would constitute a substantial dental of the right of petition itself. The changes In the National Constitution made indispensable by the developmentor the nation ean only be peacefully tooompllahod by a Judicious and liberal exercise of the power of Congress to propose amendments tn the Status upon the petition of those who desire to be heard In the great court of the people exercising their sovereignty through the Stales as in the formation of the Con. •motion. Il is well known that, hut for the belief in the conventions of the Stales that , Uon'SSSdhe most liberally afforded by ! Congress in accordance with (be forms . provided in that instrument, the original • ratification never would have been ob- , tallied. Some of thb Slates ratified only , because it was (Irmly believed that, , whatever might be the opinions of Don- • Kupon the modifications desired oy f who considered the Instrument < proposed for ratification as fatally do- , recti ve without them, the suggested , amendments <«uld be submitted to the ■ subsequent action of the Btalcs almost , While the committee would by no" , means Justify the submission of trifling } or unoaHed-for propositions for the con- , •(deration of the Butes, yet they firmly ,

bellevs that the perpetuity aad peace of the country under the forms of const - rational government demand that there be no captions or arbitrary denial of Ihe right of petition for She amendment of Ibe fundamental law through the forms of Congressional submission to lbs tribunal Of the people in Ihe Stales. .

From i ihe very nature of the liquor evil can o i not be controlled by the feeble efforts of s the Steles. From their juxtaposition p 1 they could hardly protect themselves d 1 against each other even if they were absolutely Independent nations.

The store is a sight, that's fact ; working up to-day to its capacity; "a great and 1 interesting occasion," as the reporters would put it. The life of a year of prepar- 1 ation blooms out in these few 1 days. We have but little to about it, as what wc are , doing day by day is what we ' in business for ; keeping ■ the best^f the best goods and j serving our customers in the of the best ways.
