me crime OF Licenae.

/ AhG VI Lh@GuSG
The policy of licensing the liquor
traffic in this country is colossal
crime. 1t is one method OF securing
revenue to build and support our gov.
ornamental machinery. 1t is an easy
method. 1t is safe-safe for the polite
ian. The legislator turns to it be.

increased extravaganza and graft in

legislator turns To this easy victim
I easy because it is immoral and there.
fore illegal ard shears it yet again.
A few good people foolishly talk
about this license plan as 'lessening
the evils" Of the traffic by increasing
It's burdens, which in fact only sets the
ingenuity OF the vendor at work to de.
wise new means for robbing his de.
bauched patrons. No license has ever
been made high enough to "lessen the
evils" OF the traffic
We invite the attention OF the
doubling Thomases" to the cities and
states where the license Is high and
compare them with other cities and
states. In every place in this country
where the evils are lessened IL is the
result ct the prohlbtory feature OF a
restrictive law, whether il be in states
that have high or low license.

not seen more drunkenness and lawless-
ness in any town OF the same size with
twice that number of saloons.
The keeper of the hotel at which |
stopped over the Sabbath was keeper
Of one of these saloons, and the devices
to which this man and his clerks re-
sorted to sell liquor on the Sabbath
almost to real genius. Sleep
was practically impossible on Saturday
night owing to the brawling drunken
ness about the place. The town 10
small and the surrounding country is
sparsely settled, and the proprietors of
these grog shops work necessarily to
make sales.
The license system lays the burden
Of revenue upon those less able TO bear
It, as in the Vermont village referred
20. Four fifths of the patrons of these
saloons were laboring men-granite
md marble cutters. Those who had
antilles were taking the very necessi-
lies from their wives and children, and
pouring them into the treasury OF the |
yillage and state, and in addition max
ng possible a lazy living for the law
breaker who sold them liquor.
What a spectacle 1t is for the city |
Ind state to collect revenue from the |
weakness and wickedness of the more |
gnoraht and depraved of their citizen

my endorsement of Peruna is

IF a man is sick he looks anxiously

and Peruna will do the work.

ship! The schoolhouses we erect, the
streets We pave, and the waterworks
we build with this money that drips
with the very hearts blood of the help
less, will be looked upon by coming
generations as monument OF the
nations chief sin and shame-the
cruelty of halfcivilized people. Woe
to him that buildeth town with blood
and establisheth city by iniquity."
We are told that this traffic should
aid in bearing the burdens of its owu
ravages. How can 1t do this? How
can it bear the burdens of the father
and the mother when the SON Is brought
home drunk or stabbed or shot, or,
worse still, himself murdererl How
can 1t bear the burdens OF the wife
when her husband, who at the altar
plighted the sacred VOWS that made
them one, has become cruel, soddep,
and imbruted, and in whom every
tender word, look and act has been
etfaced?
How can ii bear the burdens of child
hood starved, frozen, unschooled and
unloved, robbed OF q fair chance Ia the
race OF life? How can few worse
than tainted dollars help bear the
burdens of these stricken ones2
10" exciaims the high taxist,
"that is sentiment" 1t is not senti-
ment 1t 10 relentless, cruel, awful
truth.
"Well, says another, "the license
builds and maintains asylums and in-
tirmaries.n Yes, and 1t fills them, too
But where is the Misunderstanding in 1t?
There is not much comfort TO the wife
whose husband has been slain BY
bandits 10 know that his executioners
saved her any doctors bills and paid
funeral expenses. Nor does ~ comfort
the friends OF the insane, who were
made so by drink, TO know that the
state which has taken the victims
money in form of revenue pays back
a part OF IL in looking after his wreck
ed life? But even arguing as cold
blooded dollars-and.cents proposition,
it does not bear one quarter OF the
burden it creates.
The traffic shortens life, weakens its
vic Tins and lessons their efficiency
while they live; 1t creates paupers and
breeds criminals; 1t impoverishes the
nation ia manhood and morals wher-
ever it touches IT.; 1t is q pirate upon
the high seas OF commerce which lives
by happening every honorable BUSH
ness and leaves in its train exhibition
Of withered and spoiled beauty.
The most unjust feature OF the whole
license system Is that 1t compels mil
lions of people TO be partakers OF the
license, blood money, who do
not want to be partakers OF IL. They
IRE forced by governmental policies to
leach their children to be sober while
hey are schooling them In a building
every brick OF which Is marked with
the saloons tribute, and they are
taught by teachers who are compelled
20 receive part OF their pay from 1t.
The church itself is forced TO teach
for and loyalty to govern
nent which every hour OF the day
violates the hottest sentiments it |
breaches.
What is the remedy? Let the men
and woman OF America who are un-
willing participators IN this crime lift
their voices and spare not, for the
most radical repression and the speedi-
Est ultimate suppression OF the beyer-
sge traffic in intoxicating liquors. -

The tax suit brought by Frank Lu-

Ayer-Lord Tie company to collect
personally taxes for the boats of
the company, was decided
by the United States supreme court
in favor of the company. Both the
county and circuit courts upheld the
contention of the company that its
property, on which IL pays taxes In

versed the lower courts. Then the
defendant went into the federal
courts and won. All the company's

'The people of fredericksburg want
