Some Workings OF High License.

In response to our request for facts
on this point, prominent Chicago
business man sends the following
information: SIN cook county. out
side the city of Chicago, which is
situated therein, thirty-one saloons
are running without paying any
state tax. They pay United States
tax, but do not pay the five hundred
dollars required by state law. Hence
they are not included in state re-
ports, and help to make up the de-
crease of saloons under high license.
But they sell just as much liquor as
ever, and it causes just rs much
misery as though they fulfilled
every condition of the Harper law
and no less.
A careful examination Of the re-
cords discloses this state of things:
Most of these saloon keepers pay
their state license quarterly; the first
quarter was promptly paid, perhaps
the second the same. Then some
one of them, with an eye to business,
took out a beer license, which costs
only half as much as one for sell
ing whisky; but he sold whisky just
the same, and nobody objected. If
his fellow dramsellers found him
out, instead of bringing him to
justice, as we were assured they
would do, they said nothing, but
followed his example. The next
quarter somebody was a week late
in paying his license; no harm came
to him, and the next time he was
month behind, with tie same re-
suit, and SO it went on till the license
was not paid at all. The records
show the facts in the case-we can
draw our own inference.
Immunity from punishment
always brings disregard for law, and
this immunity the dramseller en-
joys. We have seen that his fellows
are not going to assist in bringing
him to justice, for they all dwell in
glass houses. The local officers
whoes duty it is to enforce the law,
dare not do so, because he controls
votes they may need in the next
election, he therefore goes 'scott
free" and grows more defiant of law
with each succeeding quarter. This
explains the undeniable fact that
the number of saloons selling with
out complying with the high license
law is largely on the increase.
A significant fact in this connec-
ton is that each of these thirty-one
saloons paid its United States tax
promptly. The reason is obvious;
internal revenue collectors do not
depend upon the saloon vote or any
other vote for their positions, and so
are not deferred from doing their
duty by the fear of losing it; where
as the state tax must be collected by
men who know their election is
largely dependant upon that vote,
and do not wish to risk it by gain
ing the ill-will of the saloon keepers
and the proverbial ten whose votes
each saloon keeper controls.
Herein is strong argument for
national prohibition, and a national
and state party composed of men
whose votes are not for sale over the
bar of saloon.-Union Signal.

Recognize temperance as an impor-

to attempt to convince a man of his
spiritual needs while his body is

their agony they rush again and

drown their sorrow, stifle their re-

Yes forget all, all the sacred claims
that are upon them. Sad picture, but
sadder still the drunkard's home,
where the anxious ones await the
coming of the once kind, loving

return and yet dreading to meet
him.
God pity the drunkard's wife and

Is it not enough to hunger for

Is it not time to put forth every
