bylaw prohibiting the sale Of alco-
holic liquors as beverages on all its

company owns estates equal to those

West Indies, important interests in
Cuba and at other places For some
time past, the general manager has re-
fused TO allow any alcoholic liquors in
the company's business. The results
are instructive. People living near its
properties are coming more and more
under the company's influence, trust
ing rather than contending for good
treatment, and disturbances are rare.
Among the Indian tribes. where the
company is establishing relations. sat-

success with the Indians can be had

though they want rum. arc learning to
have respect for a company that Is not
