TT MEYER KNEW.
When healthful roses decked her cheek.
And giriish giadness filled the day, ,!
My heart scarce dared in dreams to speak
% That they were planted not to stay:
But when upon the ligltnng's wing,
Flew tidings that my Pet was ill,
That Death perchance had poised his lance.
And plucked her roses at his will,
My heart was toned to stronger beat,
A latent strength it never knew.
And calmly steeled itself to meet,
The worst that frowning fate could do.

EXECUTING THE LIQUOR Ia Ws.

EXECUTING THE LIQUOR Ia VS.
Elsewhere will be found an account
Of several recent prosecutions for SELL
ing cider in. violation Of the provisions
of our village charter. We publish al
so the section Of the charter under
which the prosecutions were made.
After six or seven years Of cider sell
ing by our merchants and restaurant
keepers, it has been discovered that un-
der our village charter no Intoxicating
liquors of any kind can be sold or given
away. ~!
The several prosecutions for liquor
selling, therefore, leave Worthington
in this attitude:
l. No Intoxicating liquor can be sold
for any purpose, not even by druggist
on physicians prescription, and our
druggists claim that they will not sell
any more for any purpose.
2. No wine can be had for commun-
ion purposes. Under our charter any
person giving away wine for such pur-
pose is liable to fine of s25.
3. No cider can be sold even by the
barrel for vinegar or any other purpose.
Farmers and others who want liqu-
ors for any of the purposes named above
cannot procure them in Worthington
and will have to 60 elsewhere.
Concerning this we repeat what we
said u few weeks ago, viz: that such a
rigid enforcement and strict interpre-
tation of the liquor Jaws is fanatical
and ruinous to the business interests
of the town. The reaction of which we
spoke is gradually coming and the re-
suit will be open saloons in Worthing-
ton.
But We say, # this is the la,o; let the
law be enforced. What we complain
of, and what every fair-minded man
complains of, is that the laws are not
impartially enforced. Certain persons
are selected and prosecuted for personal
reasons, for spite, or for some other
reason, while other persons who are no.
toriously violating the liquor laws are
allowed to 90 untouched, and every
thing that church rings, political rings,
or social favoriteism can do to shield
them is done.
We assert that the injustice which is
shown in liquor prosecutions III our
midst is very much worse than the )iq-
uOr traffic would be.
The charter makes it the duty of the
City Marshall and of each member of
the Common Council to make CON-
plaint against any person known to be
selling cider or other liquor in violation
of law. We wait to see whether or not
they will do their duty.
