to the point, Says the. Hayti' Argus
1t is as follows:
"Section l. That drunkenness
in any public place in this state is
declared to be an offence against
the laws Of the state of Missouri" j"
"Section 2. Any person who
shall be convicted of the crime of
drunkenness in any public place
shall be deemed guilty of a misde-
meanor and be punished by fine
not less than 81 nor more than S25
for each offence"
That sounds curious. To license
a person to do thing and then if
he does it, punish him. Some peo-
pie are so constituted that they will
get drunk even if they know 1t will
be their ruin rdeath. * y *-Cape
Progress.
UNDER such circumstances it oc-
ours to us that drunks are going to
come mighty high, and the whole
thing does look mighty inconsistent
but maybe it will help keep some
poor fellow sober.
