 The penalty for selling intoxicating liquor to Indians, although apparently a pretty severe one is practically too light to stop the traffic entirely. The savage nature of the Indian is thoroughly aroused under the sti- mulus of strong drink, and under such cir cumstances he becomes a dangerous beast. Even those Indians who have been peaceably inclined and friendly to the whites for many years, return to their savage and warlike impulses when thus aroused, and often com init outrages as bad as the hostile Apache are guilty of. The -rerson-who furnishes them the liquor toproduce this savage frenzy. becomes morally, party to the crime and should be compelled to share the penalty for any resulting crime in addition to the pre- scibed penalty for merely selling the liquor against the law. Nearly every crime com mitted by the many otherwise quiet and friendly Indians can be traced directly to influence of strong drink surreptitiously fur nished by depraved and mercenary white men.-Tucson Citizen.
