mittee In regard 70 the victualing licenses
il the cause OF much comment among the
business men. The reason OF their ap-
parent timidity IL beyond explanation. In
the meantime every viotualing place In
town is running 40 usual, but naturally
every proprietor II conducting his busi-
ness with considerable worry, az he does
not kuow what arrangements to make for
the future. The delay Is supposed to be
, on sccount OF the trouble the authorities
have had In preventing liquor dealers
who have held victualing licenses from
breaking the provisions OF their licenses.
II this is the reason IL is only confession
on the part of the government that they
are not able or do not dare to enforce the
law.
It would prove conclusively that the
people had made mistake In their choice
OF representatives, and that instead OF
eIectiug body of leading men with abil.
ity to carry out their oaths of office, that
they have chosen lot oftrembling poll
ticians whose only object Is to trim their
sails to every gentle zephyr that lmight
blow them safely to the port OF another
election. Surely there can be no harm In
giving every liquor dealer an opportunity
to serve food with his liquors. In fact 1t
is generally advocated by physicians that
as a rule It Is not good for q man to take
such beverages except In connection with
food. ,H
The law of Massac husettg compels every
liquor dealer to first hold victualing
licenee and to have thorough provisions
made for carrying 1t out. There does not
seem to be any sound argument against
granting q victualing license to every
liquor dealer who asks for 1t. II he breaks
his liquor license, take 1t away from him.
To pursue any ether course Is simply
confession of weakness, an acknowledge
ment of inability to act, an invitation to
every law breaker to soon and jeer at the
laws of the State and the executors chosen
to enforce them.
