saw another man staggering across

much he had in him. And as
came home | saw that man on the

have often wondered how it was
that the men of the court could
pass sentence on man for sell-
ing whiskey and the State guilty
of the same crime. 1 want to say
that the State is as guilty in the

tence is passed upon.
