LIQUOR LEGISLATION

Already schemes are talked Of
to avoid the necessity of the
General Assembly granting to
the people the right vested in
them under the Constitution to
say by a majority of the voters
of each Constitutional district,
whether license or no license of
the sale of intoxicating liquors
shall prevail in the said districts.
We do not think that any such
schemes can defeat the will of
the people. The Republican
State platform boldly accepted
the principle that such a major
ity vote should decide the ques-
tion. The matter. however, is
in the hands of the members of
the Legislature.
0ne of the plans is to provide
an Excise Commission to pass
upon the qualifcationfor licenses,
and to make the price for the
license high, ranging from 81, 900
in Wilmington down to $500 in
smaller towns. We have no
doubt that. the Court would be
pleased to get rid of this ques-
ton. THE TRANSCRIPT believes
in the proposed plan as an ad.
junctof the so-called local option
law. That is, if a majority Of
the voters in any-district decide
il il ffsarreerf ef license license, that that
mission of this kind rather than
the Court should decide. OF /
course if the majority be for no
license, there would be no need
for a commission in that district.
But, whatever is done, the So
called "Bottle Laws" by which
the holder Of a retail license, on
of a small additional
fee, can secure the right to sell
in bottles to be carried away and
drank off the premises. This
law acts as a shield for large
amount of illegal selling, minors
and habitual drunkards getting
some one else to buy liquor for
them and men who have already
had too much, getting a bottle
to enable them to continue the
aebauch the next day. This law
IS almost entirely responsible
FOR the Sunday drinking. No
retailer should be permitted to
sell except in small quantities to
be drunk on the premises.

HIGHER PAY

All over the country labor Is.
getting advanced wages. The
cost Of living has materially I'D I
vanced and it is necessary that
the man who works for wages
should have more Of them The
railroads. the large corporations,
and the manufacturers have all
recent y given noticeof increased
pay, some to take effect Decem-
Der 1st, and some to take effect
January 1st. About the only
persons who do not share.in the
advance are those who work for
fixed salaries. They have not
generally been so kindly treated.
Among this class will be found
the school teachers. In the
larger cities these are moving
for a raise. They should have
it, and their brethren and sisters
of the country should share in it.
There is no occupation SO impor-
tant as the one that directly has
to do with the education and
training of our children. And
there is none that is so lily paid.
To become a successful teacher
requires years of study and a
special adaptability to the work.
Let them be paid accordingly.

tics" then let Us hail the day and the
event which marks the fact that the
old order giveth place to new and
let there be no uncertain note OF hearty
commentator from those who heartily
endorse the Governors contention that
the bench should be kept distinctly sep
arated from politics, and that the high
est duty the Executive owes to the
people is to appoint to that exalted OF
fee only men OF competent ability and
OF incorruptible character. When the
Governor declines to deprive the peo-
pie oi the services of such man bv
declining to reject his appointment,
simply because OF some measure OF
personal resentment. or some sense OF
party zeal. he is to be congratulated
upon the performance OF public duty
in accordance with the best ideals OF
good citizenship.
