The first volley of the opposition
to the present drafted prohibition
law, H. R. 793, was fired in the Ne
braska senate Thursday morning,
When a batch of a hundred senate
amendments were submitted by Rob
ertson of Holt.
The prohibitory bill had been re
ported out on the sifting file and
made a special order of business for
Thursday. The gallery and the sen
ate floor was packed with spectators
expecting to see the issues threshed
out on the floor.
Instead of a consideration of the
bill, however, the dry wing of the
senate took Immediate steps to con
tinue the discussion as a special or
der of business next Tuesday morn
ing. The drys declared they did not
care to consider the amendments In
the spur of the moment, without first
having had a chance to study and di
gest them.
Replying to a question from Sen
ator McMullen of Gage, Albert of
Platte, who said he had the confi
dence of both sides over the bill, as
sured him that all the substantial
changes to be asked by the opposi
tion to the measure as It came from
the house were contained in the
amendments as offered.
The amendments strike out com
pletely or in part pome fifteen of tl
sitty sections of the 'aw an I ni.icncl
others to the following effect:
Removes all limits on t' - amount
of liquor that may be on hand May
1.
Tones down the most drastic meas
ures designed to facilitate law en
forcement. Allows a nyone to make wine or
cider at their home providing they
do not sell it.
Gives saloonB thirty days after
May 1 to dispose of their stock.
Permits distilleries in the state to
continue disposing of their stock of
goods outside the state, under fed-
eral regulation.
Permits the manufacture without ;
restrictions of ethyl alcohol In thej
state.
The amendments propose to strike ,
out all those sections of the bill
Which relate to the restrictions hedg-j
Ing common carriers and consignees
in the shipment of liquor into the
state, on the ground that the federal
Rood hill, prohibiting the shipment
of liquor Interstate into dry territory
will take care of this contingency.
"The bill is now boiled down 'nto
a simple, workable "dry' law, with all
red tape removed," declared Senator
Hobertson.
Senator Beal, of the dry commit
tee, on the other hand, declares the
amendments are pernicious and such
that they will positively not be en
dorsed by the "dry" wing of the sen
ate. lie says that the allowing of un
limited quantities of liquor in private
is the best inducement for bootleg
ging, which condition will inevitably
result. The amendments put fatal
hindrances In the path of the en
forcement of prohibition, he de
clares. The amendments will make It al
most Impossible to secure convictions
since It must be established to a
Jury that liquor sold is intoxicating,
according to Attorney E. E. Thomas,
of Omaha, an executive officer of the
Nebraska Dry Federation.
The Amendments
The amendments strike out these
sections and parts of sections:
Sec. 5. To allow Judge to remit
penalty for information as to where
liquor can be obtained.
Sec. 7. Clause prohibiting giving
of Information as to where liquor is
obtainable.
Sec. 8. Prohibition of advertising

Sec. 14. Filing by carriers of rec
ord of shipments.
Sec. 21. Clause prohibiting drug
gist from selling liquor who is not a
bonafide resident of state.
Sec. 30. Prohibiting county attor
ney from dismissing action, without

ney to place witness under oath, In

quor or Hquor utensils.
Sec. 51. To permit "dry" organlz
atalons to hire counsel to co-operate
with county attorney In prosecutions.
Sec. 53. Action for liquor damag

quor is illegally sold.
The Sections Amended

not "furnished."
Sec. 56. Amended to make respon
sible for penalty of law violations on
ly actual offender, striking out "by

Some of the "drys" profess to be
lieve that the liberal element hack
ing the changes is asking more than
it expects to get. merely to be as
sured that It gets what It feels the
law should provide.

DRINK HOT TEA
FOR A BAD COLD
Oct a small package of Hamburg
Hi-cant Tea, or as the German folks
call it, "Hamburger Brust Thee," at any
pharmacy. Take a tablespoonful of the
tea. put a cup of boiling water upon
it, pour through a sieve and drink a
teacup full at any time during the
day or before retiring. It is the most
effective way to break a cold and curs
grip, as it opens the pores of tht skin,
relieving congestion. Also loosens the
bowels, thus driving a cold from the
system.
Try it the next time you suffer from
a cold or the grip. It is inexpensivt
and entirely vegetable, therefore sat
and harmless.

People who feel good one day and
