IieInf and Darkness.


 To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 Men, and corporations of men, love dark ness rather than light. Their deeds are evil, and that's the reason why. This is gospel truth. Witness Apostle John, chapter 5, 19. Think of it again. Good is the light. It is conservator. Whoever saw, in broad day light in the midst of city full of living men, such rascally attack of the respectable woman who utters her complaint in last Sat urday mornings CoURIERs An, no! well | lighted city makes us all watchmen. A well lighted city is the very best auxiliary of our city police. Without such light che dark places of our city are a refuge for the perpe- trator of cruelties And there are such places in our very city centers. Witness even within our ancient nine squares. See High street right in the rear and adjoining the col lege grounds of the Yale dormitories. It Is | one of the darkest streets of the old squares l And those very college grounds are no bet ter. If our electric light were not fearfuily exaggerated symbol of the light written, it's | lightning flash would long since have chased | the darkness out from the hiding places of | what may yet be known, in many an 1ndl- vidual history, as the dark and bloody ground. Has Yale no sympathy for the re- | lief of such thoughts OBSERVER.

A saloon-keeper on Gratiot street sat at hls door the other afternoon, wondering why 1t was that so many men in Detroit preferred buttermilk to beer, when two strangers came along. One of them placed his right heel on the penny, and then bent over to see how far he could reach and mark the flag stone with nail. As he reached out he lifted his heel off the penny, and the other man picked up the coin, slipped it into his pocket and winked at the saloonist.
 ''That's long reach," said No. 1, as he strengthened up.

STATE RIGHTS.


 The full reports of the inaugural address
 was not such an alarming affair as some have thought. In fact it was plain ana striking presentation of some of the dangers which
 the people of this country must face and a plea against the growing tendency to central | ization-against "a sentiment which not only | acquiesces in the diminution of State powers, but demands stronger and yet stronger government at Washington in proportion to our material advancement, the multiplied 1 tion of States, the increase of population l and the birth of new and perplexing prob lems."
 Governor Gordon states the problem be- | fore the people of this country as follows: In | our effort to preserve peace, property and national life, are also involved the integrity of States, the life of the republic and the ex- istence of citizen freedom. The work before us in the future is the most stupendous task ever imposed upon the statesmanshipo of any age. It is to save liberty and yet govern a, country with two hundred millions q people l with its vast area; with varied reeds and conflicting demands; with it's capital GO pro tect and its labor to encourage, with its so- i cialistic problems to solve, ani yet to leave | its citizens free; with it's giAntle corpora tions and mammoth monop2es measuring arms with the people themslVes-ln a word it is to survive the certain perlls ot the fu- ture and still to live aft them at once a united nation and vet republic of States, | sovereign in their sphe1s, independent, equal and free
 He points out ths stability obtained by progressive accretic.s to federal power must end at last in absAutism or centralization, and continues: stability thus secured is the death ot our duplex system. It is the de- sruction of tn. State independence. It is the doom of free government in America. There is one way, and one way only, to secure in our momentous future both stability and liberty. That way is to depend, as perils in- ,ro4-~, soJ arss to trust more to local adjustm enUs.- What sver may have been the wisest policy in the our greatest safety, progress, permanence and freedom lie in the direction of enlarged local administration The freest government is that which is most controlled by homogeneous and the strongest government for country like ours is that which devolves upon the States the largest responsibilities. As population becomes dense, as industries as interests conflict, as creeds crash and the discord of jarring theories increases over this wide-extended country, the more and more difficult will become the problem of government through central administra- tion at Washington, and the greater will be | the necessity for intrusting to the States all | questions with which they may constitution | ally deal.
 Surely there is nothing alarming in this. | It is timely and calls attention in forcible l way to some matters which need attention.

 A great many people in Vermont, where prohibition has had a thorough trial, want high license. At public hearing before the legislative committee one witness declared that there are thirty or forty places where liquor is sold in Montpelier, so that the present law is a dead letter in the capital of the State. Another witness said that as to the licensing of the liquor traffic Vermont had been in the business over thirty years, furnishing the capital and the rum and 241 agents to do the business, and that there were 47O,000 dozen bottles of lager beer brought into the State last year. The Mont pelier Journal admits that there has been an ''almost unrestricted sale of liquor in some of our larger places during the past year or two." A committee of the Senate reports that "public sentiment sufficient for the enforcement of the law exists in but few of our towns and villages, and in nearly all of them the sale of liquor is pra ;ticaliy free and D
