met with little adverse criticism, we can
not regard it as good law. If it were
crime to sell liquor, then it might be right
to punish him in whose possession it is
found. Iowa. Maine and Kansas, where
the sale of liquor as beverage is a crime,
might have such a law with some show of
right on their side; but state that legal
ICES the public sale of intOxicants. it seems
to us, should not punish the person who
simply partakes of them. There were laws
before to punish the drunkard if he inter-
fered with the rights and comfort of sober
more to swell the expense bills of jailors
than for the cause of temperance and good
order.

1t is too often the case that the private
detective is scoundrel of the deepest dye
He is scarcely ever a man of good reputation.
He bores his way into the secret troubles of
families and individuals like deadly worm
into the heart of a tree, and becomes
blackmaller. He is in no way solicitous
about the peace, security and welfare of the
community in which he lives. He is per-
jurer and cares nothing for the majesty of
the law. and is often a greater criminal
than the man his oath sends to prison. JUS
tice, being blind, does not see who is in the
witness box, and can only judge from what
she hears. Generally. these men are ex-
perts on testimony and usually know just
how much the truth must be stretched in
order to secure the reward dependent upon
conviction. Many an innocent man and
stainless woman has sat in court and lis
tened to one Of these private detectives
swear his or her reputation away. These
are not mere assertions, but often verified
truths. Detectives are necessity in these
days of trickery, but they should not be
tricksters themselves. No man should be
allowed to act as a detective save under the
direction of national state or municipal
government, and should receive fixed sal
airy. An honest man makes a better de-
tective than does scoundrel.
