citizens of that township, over twenty
one years Of age, last week. The total

y The Cincinnati Gazette, ono of the
abscst Journals ia tho Nest, in recent
article advocated chat the State should
provide laws Isr taking inebriatcs into
custody. us il does lunatics, and an Ohio
contemporary. While It approves the po-
si,ion of Tie Gazette, would accompany
it by" making the seller accessory by law
and answerablc 10 tic law for all harm
4 his trafic causes, and says that these two
laws would restore society to sobricty.
In reply to THE position the Gazette
says: We are not opposing laws TO hold
the seller 10 just responsibility. bW We
insist that the man who drinks is the
principal. and we oppose the injustice
and Inconsistency o: the ideas and laws
which exempt him and prosecute the
persons from whom he bought the liquor.
II rs gross wrong which pleads the ba
bv act for the drinkcr and sues the seller
for injuring him. 1t is tho softness OF
weak relatives who make others rcspon-
sible in order to sparc him.
A little reflection will show that the
provision for holding sellers to damages
Is wholly inadequate. II comes too late.
An action cannot lie unless specific dam
ages can be proved. Is the chances OF
such suit nj, adequate remedy for
sq,.sndercd property and family left
destitute by death? Long before the in
ctriate can have made case for q suit
ut law for damages, lie will have become
a tit subject for legalcustody. This per-
sistencc in holding the drunkard inno-
cent is great moral weakness in society.
lie is not helpless. Fix over him posi-
tive consequence, such as this legal GUS
tOtly and remedial treatment, and We
shall see that he can help himself. No
ne OF the respectable dlunkards will
risk il more than once. But If he were
incapable. there would he the same reas-
on for taking him into legal custody.
We have made no progress with ON
false system Of holding tho drinkcr ir-
responsible and the seller guilty. And
all the suits for damages that arc posi-.
bic, will do nothing to restrict the sale
Only in very extraordinary cases can tho
damages bc proved that will sustain
such a SUIT. And if such vcrlicts should
become frequent, the injustice which OK
empts the drinkcr and sues u genera
trader would break them down before
