The Legislature of Nebraska has
passed law imposing penalties on
ANY person who treats another in a
public saloon. This plan of controlling
the evils of intemperance has been
urged by moderate temperance people
for number of years past, aid its
effects will be watched with interest
by people in number of other States.
With due respect to the Legislature
that passed the law. we predict that it
will be beneficial to no one and will
not in the least cheek the evils of in
temperance.

Last Tuesday was the last day that
our law makers could draw three dol
lars per day, and the probabilities are
that the present session of the Legis-
latue will close this week. Like for
mer Legislatures of Kansas it has been
numerically abused and unjustly
criticised. It has been better than
many of its predecessors, and perhaps
as good as the State has had. 1t nee
essarily leaves a large amount Of
unfinished business, which is perhaps
no great detriment, as we are apt to
suffer more from too much legislation
than from the want of it. Our Sena-
tor and Representative have been
faithful in the discharge of their duties
and are entitled to the appreciation OF
their constituents.

The Commonwealth opposed the
constitutional prohibition amendment
and also the passage of the law that
was enacted for the enforcement OF
that amendment, but since the amend
ment.has become part OfOur consti-
tuition and the Legislature passed a
law for its enforcement, it advises that
the law be enforced. 1t says: "As
long as there was any hopes of defeat
ing the Prohibition Amendment, Or,
what we considered, harsh legislation,
the Commonwealth earn estly worked
against both, believing that it was a
mistake and would work injury to the
temperance cause. But the Common
,DedLM has always been in favor of en-
forcing all laws after they became
such, or were declared to be in force by
the Courts. This for the reason, it
was demoralizing and could only work
disastrously to the State to allow laws
to be on the Statute Books unenforced.
We believe that an honest attempt
should be made to enforce all laws, in
Guiding the one in reference to the sale of
liquor" Ifsome other leading journals
in the State would take the same man.
ly position, instead of Dragging that
the temperance law can not be enforc-
ed in their cities, they would be held
in higher esteem by the great mass of
the law abiding people of Kansas.

The Leavenworth Times and the
Atchison Champion, both live, enter
prising journals by the way, are as
mournful over the passage of the tenn
prance law to enforce. the prohibition
amendment as were the Democratic
papers last fall over the defeat of their
party in the Presidential contest And
the Times is especially aggrieved that
the Churches are not allowed to use
fermented wines at the communion
services. It makes one smile to think
of the editor of that daily as the
champion of the churches, and of that
paper being the great religious daily OF
the State.
