What the Legislature is Do

Passes Stringent Gambling
Bill--O Other Matters.
Columbia Record :

Mr.. Sanders bill against
gambling dens and blind tigers,
to require magistrates and police
officers to diligently proceed
against them under penalty was
passed to its third reading. The
Dill requires police officers to
make trequent,diligent investiga-
tons and report to their mayor
or intendant once a week the
presence Of any gambling place
or blind tiger, together with the
names of the persons running
the place, those doing the gamb
ling or buying. The mayor or
lntendant is then required to
turn over this report TO the near
est magistrate, who is required
TO issue warrants and have ar.
rests made. If either the DO
mayor or the magistrate
fails to do his duty he is guilty
of a misdemeanor and is to be
fined or imprisoned in The dis
erection of the court. The bill
is evidently directed at graft in
municipal police circles.
Mr.. Sanders bill relative to
correcting errors in ridges
charges was the only other bill
much discussed, and it was kill.

from the dispensary. The bal

a few days ago by the Dispen-

some of the funds. The Comp

ceived a notice of a stay in the
proceedings pending an appeal
to the Federal Court.

Ed. News: Old Noah had his
forty days of rain ; and now we
are underg ing a shower of bills
in our legislature. 1t seems that
a majority Of that body think
they will be unable to face their
constituents unless they intro
duce and push some silly stuff
for enactment. Years ago they
undertook to make aJaw on tres
pass, which was greatly disre.
garded. Many of them seeming
ly had failed to read their Bibles
and find out that trespass had
been punishable as common law
ever since Abraham and Lot
Parted their cattle, each taking
unto himself certain territory
Hence Legislation was useless on
that subject.
1t appears that members are
not running over themselves and
each other to fix up that rotten
structure call the dispensary.
This is indeed a difficult subject
to handle but . IS to be hoped
that some Scion will be found
equal to the occasion who will
ignore prejudice and offer a bill
on broad, common sense lines
Our people, as has been amply
demonstrated since the dispen.
sary was voted out, will certain
ly have their liquor to drink: it
is perhaps the greater part Of
their religion to exercise this
precious prerogative. 1t cannot
be kept out of the state by legis-
lation on the part of our Assem-
bly, and, so long as it is import
ed, all the money paid for liquor
and its transportation Tor nearly
all is sent out of the state never
to come back except in the shape
of liquor to be quickly consumed
but, if this money were spent at
home, a goodly portion would re
main there.
Under our constitution as little
as a drink Of liquor may be sold,
if Legislature so enact so we can
have dispensary bar rooms, if
so desired, operated under the
same provisions and restrictions
as have prevailed for years.
Why not have them and coIlec,
a heavy license and exact heavy
bond for compliance with law
ETC.? Then let the seller buy
where he pleases but send an
inspector around, who shall, on
finding liquor impure beyond
certain limits, pour out the stuff
or destroy it in some way. These
sellers will watch blind tigers
1tore effectually than state con.
stables; thoy may buy blockade
liquor, but will not allow others
to do so.
Physicians agree that wine
made of apples, peaches, berries
and so forth would be less hurt
full than the vile stuff often i'm.
