The Ltcenscs.-Shall they continue 10 be
granted by our corporation for the purpose of sell
ling intoxicating liquors as a beverage This was
the question which came before the voters in June
last, and was answered in the negative by ma
jority of nearly two-thirds. The time is near at
hand when the licenses which have been issued
will expire, and the applications for new licenses
will be made unless something is done by our
councils TO carry out the wish of the voters. II is
difficult TO how licenses can be granted when
so large a vote has been given against license. II
is difficult to see how any good citizen can sign
an application (aher such vote) TO sell intoxica-
ting liquor as beverage There are good citi-
zens, whose kind feelings may lead them astray on
this subject, unless they pause and reflect before
they sign the papers presented to them. do hope
that they will not act unadvisedIy in this matter
and that no one will sign application for licenses
10 sell intoxicating liquors beverage until
they shall have determined in their own minds
that the f-le is for the benefit OF the community,
and calculated 10 promote their present and future
welfare. matter involving SO great consequences
should be well considered.
If upon reflection you can deliberately make up
your minds that the present and future good Of
mankind is better promoted by the traffic than by
its suppression, then sign; but if upon reaectoa,
you should feel that great evils are consequent
upon the traffic, and that you must account for the
part you act, then do not sign. do hope the
councils may act in time, and if | should not be
regarded as out of my place, would suggest that
they repeal all acts granting licenses TO sell intox
icating liquors beverage, and make it PEN
atty to sell intoxicating liquors beverage.
Then appoint certain persons, in as many places
as may seem needful, for the purpose Of supply
ing spirits and wine for mechanical, medicinal, and
sacramental purposes, under certain instructions.
These suggestions made with desire to do
good, by an old citizen who is conscious Of having
laborsd, and does still labor, in his humble way, TO
benefit the human family in general, and particu-
larly the community in which he lives.
