Mr.. w. L. Childress. proprietor
of the City Hotel, is spending a few
weeks at Meade, Kansas.-TuCum-
carl Times.
The gentleman referred toin the
above was in Meade last week with
the Mussquawkie Medicine Co. and
was represented as being one of
their consulting physicians. When
Judge Selvidge had G. A. Knowles,
proprietor of the show arrested for
practicing in Kansas without a IL
cense, Mr.. Childress informed the
Judge that he did not claim to be
doctor, but was an attorney and
asked to appear for Mr.. Knowles.
The case against Knowles was taken
before Justice Stamper, and set for
Monday, the defendant being placed
under SIoo bond. But Judge Sell
vidge permitted him to telegraph for
some money and nothing further
was done until Sunday afternoon,
the Show Company agreed to leave
town and not practice medicine, so
the defendant Knowles was dis
charged. The Company left for
Beaver, Okla. During their stay
in Meade their medicine sales were
not enormous.

Blaeklisting Drunkards.

It isn't the man who sells rum who
makes trouble, but the man who drinks IL.
Provided the rumseller seIls the right kind
of rum to the right kind Of people, his
business need not excite much comment.
It is with the man who drinks-drinks to
his own dctriment and the public ~inconve-
pience-that the public has a bone to pick.
Heretofore laws for the diminution OF
drunkenness have been concerned chiefly
with the sellers of liquor. American liquor
laws either prohibit or restrict rum selling.
Few OF them aim at preventing or d'mih.'
ishing drunkenness by Furnishing the
drunknrd and depriving him of liquor:
Few OF them discriminate between qualified
drinke.s and drinkers who are not qual-
fed. The new British licensing act which
went into operation on January ] aims to
make Just that discrimination. Drunken
ness heretofore has been comparatively
pleasant for the drunkard. and very disa-
greeab,e for sober people. This new licens-
ing act is designed to make drunkenness
disagreeabie to the drunkard. Heretofore
it has been the glad and lawful privilege
of n British subject to get drunk at any
time and anywhere. The police could not
touch him unless he was also disorderly.
The new act regards drunkenness as itself
q form of disorder, and provides that my
one found drunk in a pablo place NAV be
arrested. prosecuted and punished. Three
convictions within twelve mouths cntitle
the offender to be rated as an habitual
drunkard. The prescribed treatment is to
scnl him to prison for a month: photo
graph him while there. and to send a copy
OF his photograph to all the licensed liquor
sell FRS in his district. with a notice not TO
give OF sell him any liquor for three years.
That is called blacklisting the drunkard.
II a publican is caught serving liquor to .
blacklisted man it may cost him ten pounds
for the first ofFensc and twenty pounds for
the next. That tends to make the rum
sellers very careful whom they sell liquor
to.-Harper's Weekly.
