THE LIQUOR LAW.

From the bench it has lately been
decided that no endorser of a liquor
petition has place thereon unless he
had been registered ten days before
the last election. In Duval county
it has been held that the name musQ
have been on the registration list
when this was last revised by the
board of county commissioners. Our
board has held that it is sufficient if
the name is found among those duly
registered. But Judge Kings rul-
ing supports the opinion expressed
by our circuit clerk which caused so
much comment and feeling in many
quarters.
We give to-day communication
from one of our most prominent cit
izens suggesting another amendment
to the law giving the right to sign
only to the holders of real estate in
the precinct wherein the sale of IL
quor is asked. This suggestion is
most valuable, and we doubt not,
will be found to eliminate some OBJ
jectionable features from the practi-
cal operation of the law. We agree
so entirely with the doctrine that
government should lie as near as
possible to the fountain head that
we are 10th to see any law giving
local option replaced by others. Let
the people, wherever practical, ad-
minister their own rules, and we ed
ucate public sentiment, encourage
thought, and train the citizen by the
exercise of neIghborhood govern
ment for intelligent participation in
national affairs. If any amendment
to the local option law can make it
effective for good ends give us local
option. Let the law have a fair
trial at any rate.
