them very numerous aud besides the back
room of the drug store has well nigh

could catch on, good deal more fro

Is so notorious.
1t is the duty of the law to protect tho

community to SEQ TO it that there shall be
no breaking of the laws by drug store

THE WAY In PAWTUCKET.
Pawtucket H. l.. July Ala reporter
of tho Evening Post has 5eon making a
tour OF the drug stores, here aud although
he was a stranger TO the propriotors, or
the clerks, In charge, was able TO secure
both lager and whisky without stint.
According to reports received from
various quarters the officers are powerless
to act I'm the case Of clubs TINT violate the
law. Why? Because should the officers
take any steps TO arrest the men who run
the semi-saloons the power behind the
throne, it is alleged. is such that the case
against the defendants would be dis
missed.
So bold have the men connected with
the clubs become and SO fearless are they
of the law that they now defy any inter-
ference 10y the police oflioors.
A DIFFERENT COMPLEXION.
This appears TO give different COM
plexion To the situation. Officers do not
care TO run against the wishes Of men
who control the politics, for various rea-
sons Charges might be brought against
them that would lead to their suspension,
and perhaps dismissal from the force
Ii is believed that the officers are not
in sympathy with the clubs. 1t Is a fact,
however that officers prefer TO keep on
friendly terms with the men who conduct
saloons 1t Is not necessary to explain the
reason.

were visited. At Robinson's drug store,
on the corner of Lonsdale and Mineral
Spring avenue, no liquor could DO secured
except by the bottle.
The Post reporter asked how long ago
it was since they quit selling by the glass.
The answer was that liquor selling by
the glass was stopped some lo months
ago. This was done because IL interfered
with the regular business of the place TO
such an extent that women and children
would not icall at the store to have pre-
scrlptions filled.

clerk declined to sell any intoxieants.
He was asked when they ceased selling,
