THE saloon question at jackson is
settled-for the time being, at least
Judge Riley having affirmed the action
of the county court aud the city coun-
Gil is granting licenses. The Cash
RoOk makes few ''ejaculations" upon
the decision, which we copy in part:
.'But the strongest point urged against
the validity of the license was that the
petitions were based on the assessment
list of 1886, instead OF upon the list
of 1S96-97-the last previous annual
assessment required by law. On
this point the judge took the position
that as the last annual assessment
that of 1S96-97-the one required by
law. was not certified to the county
court in time by the assessor on &C
count of Sickness, the saloon keepers
should not be deprived of their license,
aud the county court did right in grant
ing on the old 1926 assessment. OF
course Judge Riley acted in accordance
with the law. But we had thought
that the granting of license to keep a
saloon was in law regarded merely as
a privilege, and as such the right
thing for the county court to have
done was to require the saloon keepers
to wait little while until the proper
assessment list could be obtained. But
we were mistaken, as according to the
judges's decision saloon-keepiug is not
merely privilege but right which
the petitioner should not be deprived
of on such trivial ground as not hav-
ing the assessment list required by law
quite ready. In other words, an emer-
gency seems to have existed. We
were mistaken also in regard to an
other thing. We thought that a resi-
dent taxpayer had as much right to
say by his refusal to sign a saloon Pc
tition that a license should not be
granted as party who was on the old
assessment list of the year before and
had moved away has to say that it
shall. But then the court knows the
law. We would not for a moment
think oil criticising the court, or doubt
ing the justice of its decision.

The Priceless Boon of Liberty.


Respect for the liberty of the indi-
vidual is so marked in this Republic
that many persons prefer America as
a place of residence to bureaucratic
France, monarchicaI England and des-
potic Russia. 1t is true that we are
not so unwise as to let liberty degener-
ate into license, and are careful to pro-
tect the individual from the consequent
ces of his inability to exercise his free
dom wisely. In this metropolis. for
example, the citizen is relieved by law
of the responsibility of deciding for
himself what he shall do on the first
day of the week, and he is saved from
the evil of intemperence on that day,
and during a stated portion of every
other day. unless he can corrupt a
publican or is so forehanded as to lay
in a jug to tide over the dry periods
covered by the laws beneicent inter-
dict. In some other parts OF the coun-
try the free citizen is sent to Jail should
he be so rebeIlious against decency as to
work on Sunday, and the law pre-
scribes what sort of headdress his wife
shall or shall not wear when she at
tends the theatre. As in New York,
the time at which the citizen shall go
TO bed is dictated, either by curfew
enactment or by tho equivalent closing
of all places OF entertainment at Civ
en- hour, which renders 1t impossible
for him to enjoy himself should he
elect to remain abroad and awake.
But it is in the capital OF the Repub-
lie that this lawguided liberty reaches
its most admirable development. In
Washington, now. if the American
citizen or wandering foreign visitor
chooses to ride the bicycle the law
kindly assists him. In its solicitude
for the welfare of his spine it will run
him in should he be so refractory as to
refuse to sit upright on the machine,
as every liberty-loving and sensible
man ought to do. 1.-The District Com
missioners,' it is telegraphed, '.have
dealt death blow TO the obnoxious
low handlebars and humpbacked
scorchers. They have made a rule
that all riders shall ride with their
heads up"
OF course, there are some drawbacks
to American liberty. Poverty is placed
at disadvantage. The rich man can
hire lawyer by the year to keep him
posted on how to escape fine and i'm
prisonmeut, and he is able to afford
liberal tips to the watchful police.
But this inequality could easily be re-
moved at the public cost by having
proper instructions given in the COM
mon schools. Each day after "Ameri-
ca" has been sung the teachers might
justly be required to impart to their
classes accurate information on the
highly important and practical branch
of American education, What to do
to keep out OF the hands of the police. :"
