The licensed retail liquor dealers of Luz
crnc county, through their state organization,
have wagcd an active warfare against those
places where liquor is sold without the form
ality Of a license, commonly known as
'speak-easios.' Detectives were engaged
and many y~iOlators of the Brooks high
license law were aruigned. In Lackawanna
county they nave adopted an entirely
different plan, and have decided to boycott
all local and other brewers who refuse to
pledge themselves not To sell beer or other
malt liquors to unlicensed dealers. Accord
ing to the Scranton papers only one of the
brewers Of that city was willing to give this
pledge, and consequently all the Others come
under the boycott. This is virtually holding
the brewers responsible for the existence
Of the "speak-easics." While this plan
may not appear to be fair to the breweries,
who are naturally disposed to sell their
product to all who have the cash to pay
for it, nevertheless if the brewers could be
induced to assist the licensed dealers in this
respect the "speak-casy' would be a thing of
the past in IA very short time. Schuylkill
county has its full quota of unlicensed
dealers, and from the returns to court made
by the constables, who are apparently un-
mindful of the existence Of these shebeens in
their bailiwick, the machinery Of the law is
inadequate for the proper enforcement of the
Brooks law, The brewers Of Lackawanna
naturally resent dictation as to whom they
shall sell their product, but the proposition
has brought out at least two facts, that the
"speak-easies'' still thrive and that if they
are to be driven out of the business the
Legislature must furnish more adequate
machinery for the enforcement of the law.
The existence of the 'speak-easy' is an in
justice to those dealers who have paid for and
received their licenses, and who make an
honest endcavor to obey the law.

One of the chief functions
Of these banks relates TO the distri-
button of the currency. This could not be
done in another name without an enormous
cost TO the government. In order to secure
as uniform a distribution Of the currency as
we have, the government would be compelled
to create thousands Of assistant treasurers,
with the outlay for salaries that such a crca-
ton would involve. Under the national
system the Secretary of the Treasury can
designate any bank as a depository, and in
such cases the bank becomes an agency of
the treasury. When Mr.. Bryan attacks the
banks, he not only attacks the rich aud poor
alike, who have their money invested in
these institutions, but he strikes at an
institution that the people consider a necessity
rather than a burden.
