WHEN a MAN IS INTOXICATED.
tt'rom the Bellows Falls Times.)

Judge Hoyt H. Wheeler of the United
States district court has added an i'm
port2nt contribution to the current dis
cussion of when Is a Man Drunk"
The point arose in connection with an
insurance case in which the company
refused to pay the policy on the ground
that the person insured. who had stated
in his application that he never was in
toXicatcd, had frequently been seen IN
that condition. In an elaborate opinion
the court defined three degrees of intoX-
icatiou: % where the Individual is un-
commonly vivacious but retains the pos
session of his senses; 60 where the man
SUN retains the use of his senses but
has lost memory and Judgment; Cd i'm
this, the last stage, the man not only
lcscs possession Of his scnses but he is
no longer conscious of his external rcla-
tons,
Commotiug on this decision the Chi
cago Rccord-lIerald says:
1t isn't the first time that court of
law has Knocked out the dictionary and
the sCientic men. Even the justice
courts in Chicago have done that What
the ctymologists and photographers de-
eide is one thing; what the courts decide
may be quite a different thing. \ man
who is under undue or unnatural elatiol,,
cNhilaration or excitement, as result
Of drinking alcoholic stimulants is sup
posed to be Intoxicated Etymologi-
cally speaking he is Intoxicated whether
he is dead drunk" or unnaturally ok
cited or elatcd.
But this IL not the view of the Gnite'
States district court of Vermont The
man who imafines that he has acquired
a real jag on an Investment of a few
cents may not have reached the second
degree lie is laboring under an CHROME
Gus impression if he thinks he. is iutoxi-
Gated. lie is only on the bordcrland OF
n plain drunk, within the meaning OF the
law.
In other words, no man is fully intoxi-
Gated until lie has taken the third de-
gree" and he has not taken the third
degree until he is completely laid out
\ confused notion as to when man is
intoxicated has led to many disagreoabl'
and embarra ssing complications 1t is
well to have the matter clarified by tn,
learned Vermont jurist.

THE LICENSE SYSTEM.
(From the Landmark)

No one seems satisfied with the practi
cal working OF high license in Vermont.
The system has neither met the expect.
lions Of its advocates nor disproVed tn"
predictions of those who opposed its adop-
ton. The class of voters who favored It
In hopes that 1t would be enforced better
than prohibition ever was, have found out
their mistake. Those who believe that It
would restrict the sales in license towns
to logalized saloons have had their be-
lief pretty well overthrow. No matter
whether sold by the glass or the bottle
the traffic in Vermont, from some cause
| or other has turned out more misch,ev-
Gus IN its effects in proportion to popula-
ton than in other New England States
ANYWAY 1t has that appearance Thought
| full mon who are neither cranks nor be-
| levers in unrestricted sales are asking II
| there is no medium between prohibition
and the open saloon? Just as long as the
rrohts of liquor selling accrue to the
| vendors 1t is impossible to regulate the
sales as should be, Take away all in
| dividua! profit, and place the traffic In
the hands of salared agents of the state,
and many OF the evils which attend upon
license will disappear. To the objection
that the town agencies under prohibtory
laws were not satisfactory, the Randolph
