THEY have what is known as liquor
solicitation law in Massachusetts. I'm
der its provisions one can be punished
for doing anything that induces man
to take drink. A newspaper adver-
tisement which induces people to take
drink comes under the head OF solicit
ing. At the present session OF the Mass
achussetts legislature an effort was
made to have the law amended 50 as to
exceptnewspapers. The measure passed
the house but failed in the senate.
Recently at Lowell the edition Of the
Mail was convicted of violating the
law and made to pay fine OF $780, II
was the first time the law had been in
voked against newspaper and the case
will no doubt be carried to the highest
court In the state.--Butte Miner.
