In G, .aor's Message, will be introduced
eli en- INTO the Bill. We believe a provis-
opoh IN vas made in the original bill to
Y the lave the question of granting licen
d lirst !. to a direct vote of the people in
i. several counties, towns and cities,
ion ) .,corling to the law now in force in
Their Illinois, and which has already proved
i IN o,;,e saIutary, but it was Stricken out.
ar ~, We are inclined to think that this Lee
pass. r,)ature will hardly pass any law the
o,osent session either to abolish the
b. = license system or to leave the subject
reso ,bere we think it ought to be-in the
nnt Of hands Of the people.
rectly There seems TO De a wrong I'M
nression in regard to this subject
bsta, The idea of raising a considerable
n ma revenue from this traffic presents a
Com. temptation that frequently SO far daz-
les the perceptions of our law max
o. ers that they lose sight of the pauper-
mma ism and crime and family distress and
Owe. consequent expense, that necessarily
1on;,. follows in those communities, where
,l;z;n, the traffic in Intoxicating drinks is thus
O con egalized. Vendors are in this way
i Bnr. encouraged By lam to spread distress
West and woe around them. And the high
ion Of er the license, the more respectable
Public the traffic. But take away all icen-
,quire sses let there be a real GROCERY in
nd the every other house; and then the peo-
laof pie, who are otunder their influence,
CON- will soon realize the baneful effects Of
Of the use Of ardent spirits on the com
e ,,sr. munity, and act, in view of such
Com. state of things, promptly, wisely and
hts in theoretically.

passing the following resolution
