High License in two Cities.

All accounts agree that high license
is failure in Pittsburg. ''SDeak
easles" or unlicensed groceries have
multiplied in every section of the City
until now it is believed that the num-
Der of places where liquor is sold is
considerably greater than it was two
years ago under low license. These
speak easies" are thinly disguised as
soft drink" places, cigar shops and
restaurants. They get their supplies
of liquor in the dead of night and sell
without hindrance or regulation when
they please and to whom they please.
This is deplOrable state of things,
and to large extent offsets the great
benefits which the high license law
has brought to Philadelphia. The
reason for the great difference in the
working of the same law in these tv o
cities is not far to seek. Here the law
was enforced by the license court in a
natural conservative spirit, so as to
carry out its purpose. Public opinion
IN consequence supports the law and it
IS enforced with all the rigor which
the circumstances permit. There is
good ground for the belief that there is
very little illegal liquor selling in this
city. In Pittsburg the high license
law was accounted a good deal of a
success the first year of its operation.
The number of saloons were reduced
from 1900 to 2l4 which is probably
quite as large reduction as the condi-
tions warranted. There was no popu-
lar reaction against this reduction, nor
was there any such notorious and open
violation of the law as there is this
year. High license in Pittsburg had
therefore twelve months of practical
success.
This year, however, the duties of
License Court Judge devOlved upon
Judge J. W. F. White, who argued
that if a reduction in the number of
Pittsburg saloons from 1900 to 214 was
beneficial, still further reduction
would be even better, 80 he inconti-
nently reduced the number to g3 for
the city, and 180 for the entire county.
including Allegheny City. Some of
the city wards and many of the coun-
try townships were allowed no saloons
at all. Judge White is, we believe, a
prohibtiOnist, and in awarding licenses
he aimed to get as near prohibition as
he could under the law, but he now
acknowledges that he made a mistake.
and that if he had it to do over again
he would grant more licenses. Phila-

Stick To 1t.

A farmer cannot justly abandon an
important part of his routine simply
because it happens not to pay satis-
iactorlly at the present time. He ia
enlisted in a war in which defeats are
mixed with victories; and if, on the
whole progress is made, he should be
satls1ed. A ship owner may find the
carrying business so poor that he has
TO lay up his ships. He does not burn
them or sell them at auction for what
they will bring to break up, and vet
1t costs him money to keep and care
for them. So the farmer, finding his
flock of sheep or growth of wheat or
the rearing cattle not satisfactorily or
profitable cannot abandon these sta
pie pursuits and sacrifice his stock for
next to nothing, in pet, as it were
ana turn his hand to some other pro.
ducts in which he has little or no
experience without making a costly
mistake. Aud yet thousands do this
very thing. And many of the COM
plants are due to this error in iudpe-
ment. The best policy for farmer is
to cut out his line of business as seems
most suitable, whether it be dairy.
grazing, sheep raising, or any other.
