A GOOD LAW.

The Legislature of Minnesota has
passed a bill making drunkenness a
crime, and it is good law. Many
men get drunk III order to screw
their courage to the point of com
mitting worse crimes, and may un-
Intentionally commit worse crimes
while drunk than they would if
sober. Yet the law does not excuse
anyone for committing Outrages,
while drunk, on the old law princi-
pie that "no one may take advan-
tage of his own wrong" One who
cannot drink without becoming be-
sotted should never touch liquor and
if he cannot see the thing in that
light he should be made to feel the
penalties of his weakness in
way which would teach him
better lesson than mere physical
suffering can do. A law
making drunkenness Il crime
will do more good in a
year, if it is executed, than all the
prohibition legislation that ever was
thought of or ever could be thought |
If, would do in forty years. The
Minnesota bill only waits the gov
ernor's signature to become Il law.
The penalties prescribed are severe
enough to take away the element of
Indifference, and are, first oflense,
ine Of not less than SO nor more
han $40, or imprisonment for not
Css than ten nor more than forty
lays; second oflense $50 or $40 fine,
n thirty or sixty days imprison-
ncnt; third oflense sixty to ninety
lays Imprisonment. aeon a
