" The l.problbitlon j law,; plainly says that any law abidingcitizen may ship in two quarts of spJrituouas,or vinous liquors and? 2 quarts of ma.H t liquor every four weeks if he wants to', but Who ever heard of, beer or whiskey being used" .for .sacramental purposes? There is a cute; Uttle- clause-jIt Is just a little things in the affidavit to which eve ry.pfrson, must subscribe be fore a. railroad company 'or' any' Other common. carrier may deliver -a package of intoxicants to' the consignee. This clause says: r "That said (whisky or bear or wine, as the 'case may' he) is to be used for .aacraznantal . purposes only." s Attorneys - who have been running their eyes over the new dry law say that such a clause-must' be a part of every : affidavit, made by a, person re ceiving a-shipTnent j-Of liquor after January lj 1916., They say it looks to them like : intoxicants r cannot be shipped into the fEtate "for any pur. poses except for; saeramentat use. Superintendent R'. P. Hutton of - the Anti-Saloon . league says he knew this clause was-in the affidavit 'form and he called it to the attention of Rep resentative E. V. Llttlefield, who' was chairman of the house committee on alcoholic traffic. ' Mr. Hutton says he believes the clause- means Just what it says and that it will' be unlawful' to import liquor -for any -hut sacramental purposes. ' ' Judge Llttlefield was out of the city yesterday, but Mr. Hutton said Mr. Littlefleld contended t that the - clause would not apply except in1 cases where intoxicants were being" purchased by a church or some other organization for sacramental purposes. , . However,-it is pointed out that only one form of affidavit is .prescribed. This affidavit must be signed by every person receiving liquor from a common carrier. ' " "Anyone who shall swear falsely to any matters or things contained in said affidavit," says section 12 of the law, . "shall be deemed guilty -of per jury and subject, to the penalties pro vided by the general laws of the state of Oregon." - - " - ? ' The . next 'sentence says that' "it shall be the - duty . of the county clerk is each county of the state to prepare and keepr on hand blank affidavits in form hereinbefore set' forth." ? . .There appears to be no provision aui thorizing the county clerk to drop the sacramental . clause from any . of the affidavits.'-The county clerk is to fur nish the blank affidavits to the agents of -the railroads, before whom they are lo be sworn to by the persons : receive ing the intoxicants. - . , - - ', The more a law abiding cltisen reads of the law the drier becomes the out look for 191- ..
