PASSING OF THE DRAM-sHoP.

Not infrequently we hear an adj
5vocy Of the better regulation of the
liquor question by the better regula-
tion of saloons and the well-enforced
provisions Of high license system.
While there are arguments to be
made in favor of a well-regulated
system of liquor selling in preference
to system which permits blind pigs
and places with no regulation at all,
il: is a fact that jim many places the
systems for the regulation Of the IL
quor traffic do not regulate, through
the deliberate refusal Of the saloon
men themselves to be regulated. An
established organ of the liquor in
dustry, Bonfort's Wine and Spirit
Circular, has frankly announced that
If there is one thing that seems
settled beyond all question, it is that
the retail liquor trade Of this coun-
try must either mend it's ways ma
terially, or be prohibited in all
places save the business and tender
loin precincts of our large cities.."'
While there are everywhere some
-scrupulous men in the business Of
liquor selling, it would certainly be
hard to produce evidence that the
m--shop, as an institution, either
appreciates or accepts the response
bi1ity Of being put on its good be-
havior. We may Instance the cases
Of Vermont and New Hampshire.
After state prohibition was repealed
a large proportion of the towns voted
to give the saloon chance. If ever
there was an occasion for restraint
and decent conduct it was this. Yet,
after the trial, more towns every
year have gone back to a local dry
policy. .5 VI

reckoned without its guest. Marx
Twain was born In the country, OF
practically 80, and now In his seventy
second year the country entices him
again. So be has purchased farm In
Connecticut near West Redding and is
preparing to build q house there and
settle down! It is averred very stoutly
BY those who know him best that he
really means 1t this time.
The new house Will combine several
European ideas with some American
notions Of architecture.
The farm has $50 acres large enough,
for wandering around In. But Mark
Twain ID welcome to the rest Of Con-
necticut and the world outside, and no
bars win be set against his wandering.
The world is his home. His humor
and philosophy have made 1t d filter
place for human life than 1t used 10 be.
