One of the bad features of the dram
shop chapters of the new code, as it
came from the commissioners, and we
have seen no notice of it's amendment
in either house, is the clause requiring
the wholesale dealers to pay the high
license with the retailers. This is a
bad feature, not so much from any
reason, per Sc, that the wholesaler
should not be taxed as heavily as the
retailer, as from the effect of such a
law. 1t gives to the wholesale liquor
establishments outside of the State a
big advantage over the home establish
ments that pay the high license.
Bless your innocent soul, the Prohi-
bitionists are not seeking to legislate
in the interest of either wholesale or
retail liquor dealers in Mississippi.
They do not desire to build up such
concerns in Mississippi, or raise reve-
nue. from their business, and the
sooner they can drive them all out of
the State, the better they will like it.
Don't you understand?

Abraham Lincoln said ''Of the peo-

the Union and the liberties of this
country, truly may it be said, The

them.'" In the name of liberty, then,
let every patriot arise and trample un-
der foot the shackles OF King Alcohol.

The present arrangement of leasing
the convicts is claimed by some to be a
solution of the evils of the old leasing

The Aberdeen Examiner recites the
fact that the liquor made and deposited
in the government bonded warehouses
last year amounted to one hundred
and sixteen millions of gallons, the
largest quantity ever received. And
yet some people are simple enough to
believe the way to lessen the consump-
ton and evil of liquor is to place the
license high.
