Detroit dispatch: The decision of
the Supreme Court declaring the liquor
law invalid causes great deal Of jubila-
tioa among the saloon men. There are
1000 of them in Detroit, and the decision
means gain of $500 per year to each Of
them and loss OF 100000 10 the city
Besides. the old law, to which the city
must now revert, en- lbles the saloonkeep-
er who perfumes himself TO take out a beer
license alone and then sell all kinds of
liquors under it. he new law was de-
signed to prevent this kind OF work, be-
sides securing higher license. The old
law, except in its low-license principle,
worked we'll in country towns, but in
Detroit it placed premium on rascality.
Thus the city, in the difference between
the high and low licenses and the evasion
of the whisky licensa, will lose heavily
before the Legislature can make a new
law.
