THE SALOON QUESTION.

The board of supervisors took nc
action in the liquor license question
at its last meeting. They probably
realize, as do the thoughtful business
men throughout the county, that il
is not the simple matter to deal with
as some are inclined to believe The
Ledger has always been, and will
always be, the advocate of morality
in public as well as in private life.
1t recognizes that the instructors of
religion and morality are engaged in
a noble work for the uplifting Of
humanity, and every encourage,
/ ment should be afforded them in the
prosecution of their mission. AT
the same time the Ledger does not
believe in legal measures which have,
or are intended to have, a prohibi-
tory effect, in the interest of refor-
nation. That the number of SALOONS
in the towns of Amador county is
beyond the necessities of the. popu-
lation scarcely any one will deny.
1t does not follow from this ad-
mission, however, that any and
every attempt to reduce their num-
Der or regulate the liquor traffic
must necessarily be commendable
or wise. The object sought to be
attained may be worthy of encour-
agement, while the means used to
accomplish that end may be deserv-
ing of censure. The liquor habit is
the greatest curse that affiicts the
civilized world. In the United
States it drives more victims to dis
honored graves every year than
were killed during the civil war.
How to lessen the evil without tres
passing upon individual liberty is a
problem that has occupied the minds
of philanthropists and statesmen for
generations, and is as far from a
solution to-day as it ever was. 1t is
easy to talk of suppressing the man
ufacture and sale of intoxicants; it
is quite a different thing to carry
out such program. The stuff is
manufactured because there is de.
mand for it. 1t stands on the same
business footing as any other indus
try. The industry thrives when the
demand increases; it will decline
when the demand decreases. When
the moralists succeed in so changing
human nature as to take away the
appetite for strong drink, the prob.
lem will be solved probably not till
then.
The supervisors of Amador are
asked to try to curtail the evil by
limiting the number of saloons; by
making it obligatory upon the ap.
plicant for license to first secure
the signatures of a majority of the
residents of the neighborhood where
the proposed saloon is to be started;
also to increase the license to such a
sum as will close out the saloon mer
of small means. These are radical
departures from the methods which
have been followed in this county
ever since it was organized. 1t is
well for the county managers to pon
der these propositions well before
taking action. People look with
disfavor upon nything in the nature
of a monopoly, especially if the
monopoly is VICIOUS in its nature anG
tendency, and fostered by legislative
enactment. Those at the head Of
affairs have to consider the subject
from its many-sided view points, not
from the exclusive standpoint of alb.
stract morality. We can easily
understand how iDjudicious action
might work serious injury to the
county at large, without accom-.
plishing any appreciable benefit.

Had swiftly passed us by.
| If loyal heart still beat as warm,
Or love still lit the eye,
| Or they who in our happy youth,
Was quick to speak our praise;
! Should make us feel in our old age,
The joy of those young days.
Would we regret the spent up years,
Fain live them oer again. >
E'en time vouchsafed to give US more,
OF pleasure than Of pain;
Would we not let the past remain
A memory sad or sweet
If love still knelt devout and true,
Still constant at our feet;
With well kept promises fulfilled.
Youthful vows unbroken,
A gentle kiss still lingering giv'n
The old, old sweet love token.
What matter that the form is bent,
The laughing eye grown dim:
Do hearts grow old or love grow. cold,
Is it short iiveds thing %'&k

Or looks for captives new;

Thou hast more for thy portion
Than gold crowned king or lowered queen
Upon exalted throne. ~

And blooms within thine own.
