Selling Liquor to Minors.

Judge Reading, of Chicago, in sen.
fencing three men for selling liquor to
minors, said:
"By the law you may sell to men
and women, III they will buy. You
have given your bond, and paid your
license to sell to them, and no one has
q right to modest you in your legal
business. No matter what the conse-
quences may be, no matter what pow
erty and restitution are produced by
your selling according TO law, you have
paid your money for this privilege,
and you are licensed to pursue your
calling. No matter what families are
distracted and rendered miserable J; no
matter what wives are treated with
violence; what children starve or
mourn over the degradation OF q pa
rent, your business is legalized, and no
one may interfere with you in IL. No
the loss of O son, or sister blush at the
shame of a brother, you have a right
to disregard them all and pursue your
calling-you are licensed (! You may
fit up your lawful place of business In
form; you may furnish IL with the
lIlOSO COobiJ ahu CiCk0hO
for your lawful trade; you may fill 1t
may use all your arts to induce visit
ors; you may skillfully arrange and
expose to view your choicest wine and
most captivating beverages you may
induce thirst by all cOntrivances to
produce a raging appetite for drink,
and then you may supply that appetite
III 80 To
have paid for it-you have license.
You may allow boys, almost chill
dren, to frequent your saloon they
may witness the apparent satisfaction
with which their seniors quaff the
sparkling glass; you may be schooling
and training them for the period Of
Il, when they, too, can participate, for
all this Ia lawful. You may hold the
cup to their very lips-but you must
not let them drink-that Is unlawful.
But while you have all these privileges
for the money you pay this poor privil-
eye Of sellingtO children Is denied you.
Here parents have the right to say,
Leave my son to me until the law
gives you the right to destroy him."
Do not anticipate that terrible moment
when I can assert for him no further
rights of protection. That will be soon
for me, for his mother, for his
sister, for his friends and for the COM
to see him take his road to
death. Give him to us in his child
hood at least. Let us have o few years
Of his youth, In which we can enjoy
his innocence, to repay us in some
small degree for the care and love we
have lavished upon him. This Is
you. who now stand pris-
oners ut the bar, have not paid for;
this is not embraced I'm your license.
For this offence the court sentences
you to ten days imprisonment in the

An Eastern paper calls attention to
the fact that all the wheat Is not raised
in the West. Forty and fifty. years
ago the centre of wheat growing was
on Long Island, which shortly after
that time was transferred to the Gem
esee Valley, New York. New Eng
land, New York and Pennsylvania
were all then largely engaged In wheat
growing but the fly, and the weevil
and the exhaustion Of the land all con-
ri buted to shorten the product, and
finally the West became the principal
source Of production. For q few years
past more attention has been paid, in
he country east of the Alleghanies, to
h e culture of wheat, and the product
has been gradually senlarging In vol
ume but this year has witnessed q
treturn Of old-time fertility, and nearly
tevery agricultural county east of the
mountains has grown enough wheat
for its own sup ply, while many have o
good deal to spare. All the counties of
Pennsylvania along and east of the
Susquehanna will be sellers Of wheat
this fall. They will have all the adj
vantages of nearness to mark ct, and
hense can profit earliest by any sudden
movements in prices. Western. grow
ers therefore, in calculating the future
Of the prices Of wheat, must take into
the account the increased production
of q region which heretofore has been
purchaser of that grain, instead of a
celler, as now.

The commission was created by ar
ticle % of the Treaty of Washington
to decide whether any and what COM
pensation should be allowed Great
Britain for the alleged superiority in
value of the advantages conferred by
the British concessions upon citizens
of the United States over the advan-
tages conferred by the United States
concessions upon the subjects Of her
Britanic Majesty by the Treaty Of 1871,
and It seems to be conceded equally by
the two governments that the award
must be n unanimous finding Of the
three commissioners. The case as
made by Great Britain claims: First
THAT the difference between the con-
cessions of the old convention of 1918
and the privileges conferred by the
treaty of 1871 are the subjects OF com.
pensation. Second-That the. . are,
the right to enter the great bays like
those Of Fundy and Chateau within

fishing, the right Of fishing within
the three mile limit from shore, the

Moderation in One is Excess in
Another.

In the Nineteenth Annual Report
of the Washington Home, Boston, we
find the following. which Is well de-
serving of confederation:
fortunate Is the man who, when
drinking, loses the power of lOcomo-
ton. When he drinks to a certain ex-
tent, the voluntary muscles cease to
obey the will, and the man staggers
and falls. He can drink no more,
while the man whose nerve and brain
has stronger affinity for alcohol than
the muscular system, will walk erect,
and go crazy, never, in the common
acceptance Of the term, being drunk.
We are told, and we often use the
term, loss OF will power, In describing
the condition of inebriates. or assign
ing reason why they will not or do not
exercise control over their appetites
and desires for int0xicants. Mental
health, observes q writer, consists In
that state in which the will Is free, and
In which It can exercise its empire
without any obstacle Any condition
contrary to this is q disease of the mind,
whether It manifests itself in drunken
ness or standing on the head as d.
version. When once thepower of voli-
ton Is lost, the mind runs riot, and
may develop a thousand forms Of crime
and folly. A mental condition COM
monty called depression, when con-
tinued for long time, will often seek
relief In the use of intoxicating drinks,
and will almost surely lead its victim
to excess. He obtains temporary re-
lief from its use, but the remedy Is
worse than the disease. The stimulant
effect of the alcohol having passed
away, the depression Is increased, and
the patient is again driven to seek re-
lief In stimulants, but he finds larger
potations are necessary, and intemper-
ance results. It thus appears that
drunkard may begin to drink because
he has the nervous condition necessary
for insanity, and In seeking to relieve
his depression, sets fire to train of
rve-disorganization. Opinions are
much divided on the subject, but ex-
cesses are to be regarded in the light
of symptoms, rather than causes. One
thing Is certain, viz: that what Is mod
Grafton in one man is excess I'm an.
