LEGATION to the agent of the associa-
ted press:

A physician, writing to The Journal of
Health In speaking of Browns Iron Bitters,

The Pint Law Question.

The Columbus Index takes the
position that the net repeating the
pint law went into effect the day it
was approved by the Governer,.
ssand was operative at the time as
to all licenses which had been at
tanned from the State under the
pint law even though such licenses
may not have expired" If this be
true, every person selling whisky by
the pint from the day of the appro-
val OF the repeating act, has violated
the law. The index further says
that ''the Supreme Court of Missis-
sippi, and the Supreme Court of the
United States, hold that license
to sell liquor is not a contract bind
ing on the State; and that, such
being the case, the State has at any
time the right to annul, abrogate
and make void any licenses issued
to sell liquor, Notwithstanding the
State has received a valuable con-
sideration." Then the decisions are
against common sense and justice
We are no advocate of whisky, and
would rejoice to see the last drop Of
it destroyed, but when a man pays
a license to sell the vile stuff one
one year, he ought to be protected
in his rights, Or the money should
be refunded.
