The time will soon expire within which under

the old liquor licenses must be made. The
liquor dealers are disregarding the boards
notification, and are refraining from applying
for the new licenses 1t is absolutely essential
both to the public interest and to the excise
boards reputation for faithful and courageous
performance Of its duty that the appellate
courts decision in the Busch case, when made,
II favorable to the District, shall be practically
applicable to the cases Of all tie liquor dealers
who are now selling without the new licenses.
II these dealers do not apply for such licenses
and no cases Of Illegal selling are made up
against them, . delayed decision in the Busch
case would be practically ineffective so far as
they are concerned. 1t would be easy to post
pone the Busch case until the beginning Of
the next license year, and in the
event Of this deferred decision Of
the question it would be too late
to enforce the law against several hundred
offenders, against whom no evidence had
been previously collected. Even if it should
be made certain that the Busch case will be
speedily disposed Of by the appellate court,
there would be no reason why the alternatives
should not be enforced against the liquor
dealers of applying for the new licenses or Of
being taken into court. so that the appellate
courts decision might be Immediately ap-
plicable to them. It might not be fair,
II this decision were soon expected, to
push cases in the Police Court to final
action, since there is now no appeal from the
Police Courts decision, and the liquor dealers
would be thereby deprived Of the benefit OF
favorable opinion in the Busch case. The ex-
else board might delay action for a few days on
applications for the new licenses, 50 that the
application could be refused and the money re-
funded il the appellate court should decide that
the new licenses are unnecessary. And liquor
cases in the Police Court could in fairness be
held up few days with their disposition sub
ject to the Busch case decision. But the ex-
else board and its legal advisers have not the
slightest anticipation Of reversal Of Judge
Miller's decision, and q policy Of indifference
and inaction, which may result in serious pub
lie injury. is neither in accordance with their
own wishes and tendencies, nor with public
