I will not consume the time of this committee. but I do want to say on this particular matter. much as I regret toand I do regret it profoundlyI shall have to break away from the leadership of my distinguished chairman and vote against the amendment and vote for the amendment offered by the gentleman from Kansas [Mr. BowEisocK]. If it be true that it is necessary to stimulate emigrants into this country by inviting them to a glass of beer or by putting it where they may get it while on Government property. I. for one. think that we had better do without emigrants. I am in favor of prohibiting in the most rigid way that the law can be framed the sale of liquor in any form under any roof owned and controlled by the United States Government. and if that should drive it from this building I would welcome it. I believe every gentleman here will.
