High License Movement In
Terrebonne.

A meeting of citizens was held
at the courthouse last Sunday eve-
ming to discuss the question of Pc
titioning the police jury to raise
the liquor license. This move
ment was inaugurated from a
source where it was expected the
greatest opposition to high license
would come-from the country
merchants, as few if any of the
country merchants would find. it

cense was raised to $1,000 or $500,
as proposed.
The country merchants favoring
the movement claimed that in
stead of being injured they would
be benefited by high license, as
the abuse of liquor would not be
as common on plantations as it
now is. labor on the plantations
would he improved, and that the
laboring man would have more
money and spend less for liquor

life than under the present low IL
cense system. They do not claim
that high license would prevent
the use of alcoholic stimulants;
but do claim that it would mini
mize their use. They also claim
that under the present system a
country merchant is forced to keep
liquors whether he wants to or
not, or lose his trade, for if one
merchant stops keeping liquor and
another merchants in the vicinity
continues selling liquor, the pa
irons of the former would go to
the latter for his whiskey and
while there would get his other
supplies.
Dealing in liquor, the high IL
cense country merchants claim, is,
strictly speaking, not in the pro-
vince of the merchant and ought
to be left entirely to the saloon
keepers, or men who are exclusive
ly engaged in the liquor business.
One of the strongest arguments
raised by the advocates of a high
license, and one that is borne out
by the results of high license in
other places, is that it would be
followed by decrease of crime,
and tightening of the criminal
docket at each term of court. In
other words, that much of the mo-
ney paid by the law-abiding citi-
zens of community to prosecute
criminals, would be saved, and
could be used for internal paro-
chial improvement or other pur-
poses that some benefit would be
derived from.
Sheriff Connolly was asked what
per cent of the crimes committed
in this parish did he think could
be attributed, directly or indirect
ly, to the use or abuse of liquor.
The sheriff stated that he thought
at least eighty per cent and posi-
bly, ninety per cent of the viola
tons of law committed in this pa
IRISH since he has been sheriff,
could be traced to liquor.
This statement of the sheriff
who has had a wider experience in
dealing with the law-breskers than
any man in the parish, and who is
therefore in a better position to
study the evils that follow an in
discriminate abuse of the liquor
habit than any one we know of,
carries weight with it, and fur
nishes food for the, law-abiding
element of the community, who in
the long run have to "pay the i'd
dler" when the violators are
brought to the bar of justice.
On investigating, the Courier
learned that Sheriff Connolly has
a material basis for his opinion,
for on Monday last there were
eight prisoners in Jail, seven of
whom were held for offenses that
whiskey was at the bottom of.
The condition of affairs here
finds echo in every parish of the
state, and in every state of the
union where the liquor license is
low enough to permit of inumera-
BILE grog shops where the meanest
and most harmful grades of liquor
are dispensed.
