He also stated that he did not belong to any church and sometimes would think he would go and unite with a church, but when he would go and see some of the head leaders of the church be so pious and appear so sanctified, and the next day in their business transactions, not hesitate for a minute to tr ick and rob some poor man of his entire life's earnings, and chuckle with glee to hear him beg,—and that churches composed of such professed relegion alone, held him back.

The Supreme Court has held the Beardsley law valid and knocks out Breweries from selling direct to the consumer. The present Judges in the Supreme court are not taking very much into consideration a mans thirst or his pocket-book.
