THE LIQUOR TRAFFIC,



A member of a local temperance organ
ization, speaking to Star reporter today.
said he hoped the cause of prohibition
would make an advance of some kind dur
ing the present session of Congress He
was speaking more particularly about the
laws governing the liquor traffic in the
District.
I'm the first place." he said, there are
entirely too many drinking places in the
city, and the number, 1 think, should pe
lessened. OF course I know it is difficult
to reg ilate the traffic except to make the
business prohihitory: but a higher license
tax would be Of some assistance. The tax,
l think, should be made about S1.0OO. and
while this might result in a monoply. it
would also result in a monopoly of the
drinking. A monopoly or whisky trust of
this kind would certainly not be objection
able to law-abiding citizens. for it would
decrease either the quantity of liquor con-
sumed. or the number of consumers and
either reduction would be a benefit.
suppose, for instance" he continued
''the increase in the license should result
in an increase in the price of liquor poor
people certainly could not buy the same
number OF drinks and a man who goes
nome under the influence of two drinks is
not calculated to make his family quite so
miserable as he would if he had many more
drinks in him.
"A change in the law regulating the Sum-
much needed, as the report of Mai Moore
will show" The speaker referred to the
part of MAJ Moore's last annual report
which reads:
THE police were long puzzled to know
where SO many intoxicated persons pro-
cured drinks on Sundays The mystery has
been revealed, and despite the fact that our
breweries have extensive sales throughout
the week, they sell to customers on Sundays
In quantities of an eighth of a keg or more
Of beer without fear of molestation or
prosecution. There is no law which will
reach this class of sales. In some sections
1t Is no uncommon sight to see an individ-
ual carrying sack containing a keg of
peer TO some suburban lot or alley stalle
to be eagerly feasted upon by his COM
panlons in waiting. The evil is extending
ana in the absence of law to cover this
honorable body solicit such amendment to
the excise law as will enable the police to
prosecute this class of offenders
Resumlng, the temperance advocate said
he thought it was somewhat Inconsistent
to allow a brewery to sell and deliver beer
is not permitted to even enter his saloon
Under the law and the rulings of the court,
ne SAID, a saloonkeeper who goes in his bar
on sunday. II 1t Is only to get piece of
ice for sickness, violates the law, and he
thought there was no reason why the same
rule should not apply to breweries
SO FAR as the number of saloons is con-
cerned he said. there are already too
many. 1t is my opinion that there should
not be more than one saloon in any one
square. There are more than six on some
and am told that on one square there are
ahout dozen. Such a showing as this l
think. IL bad one for the capital of this
country. and although it has been permit
ted SO many years it is not too late to
make change"

Light for the LawyerS.

The directors of the Bar Association have
taken action looking to the lighting of the
association rooms in the city hall building
by electricity. At a recent meeting of the
board a committee was appointed consist
ing of Messrs. VIM. NJ. Levin, chairman
Clarence A. Brandenburg and Jesse II.
Wilson, to take the necessary steps to that
end. The committee obtained letters signed
by every judge of the Court of Appeals
and of the Supreme Court of the District
to Architect Clark requesting him to put
the lights in the library of the associa-
ton. Mr.. Clark has made reply that at
present there is no money to apply to this
purpose, but that he will at an early date
make an estimate of the cost of the work
and transmit the same to the Attorney
General that he may take the necessary
steps to procure an appropriation for the
desired improvement

There is no home for the blind in the

Blind persons, resident here and per-
