of Marguerites on their hair. .
The young ladies were Of course dis

overcome by the bridesmaids fasten-

by order Of the vicar this rule is now

went about without hats, quite a num-

church.
Some got over the difio1lty by

ULATioN LICENSE.

Minneapolis, May 90. Physicians
who prescribe straight whiskey or 9TH
er undiluted liquors to their patients
and fill the prescription themselves
are liquor dealers. This is what John
w. Yerkes, commissioner of internal
revenue, has ruled on the subject and
to make the fact more impressive he
has ordered that every physician so
prescribing and furnishing liquors to
his patients must pay the regular fed
eral liquor dealers tax of $25 year.
| Hereafter the physician who stimu-
lates his patient from his private
flask is a liquor dealer What Mr..
Yerkes says in regard to the liquor
traffic goes unless reversed by the
United States supreme court. If,
however, the doctor is wise he can
dodge the tax by mingling some drug
with the booze. If this is done the
concoction becomes medicine and the
doctor ceases to be purveyor of al
- j
coholic beverages. But he mustn't
call it a cocktail. There's another rul-
ing that would get him on that,
The text of Mr. Yerkes ruling,
which was received at the Minneap-
oils internal revenue Office yesterday,
is as follows: -s..t

quor not compounded into a medicine
with drugs or medicinal substances,
without involving himself in special
tax liability under the internal reven-
ne laws, even though he thus sells
such liquor for use as medicine only,

THE DRUGGISTS AND THE PRoHl-
BITloN LAW.

There is some discretion to be en-
ployed even in the enforcement of
laws. There have been various re-
ports in circulation as to the inten-
ton of the temperance commissioner
of the state toward the enforcement
of the prohibition law as it appertains
to drug stores.
The laws of the state fix the limita-
tons of the druggist in the sale of in
toxicating liquors. The law provides
that the druggist who has a permit,
which is in effect the bond of a large
share of the residents of freeholders
of his ward for his obedience to the
provisions of the law, may sell intoxi-
eating liquor for medicinal purposes
upon proper affidavit made by the
purchaser.
1t is not believed that the druggists
of Bismarck for instance, who are
reputable business men, tax payers
and good citizens, are in the business
2 ~ 1AiAA,o4sS4 p1so pul CS.tS5DOuUtlSSS
they are more frequently importuned
to violate the spirit of the law than
they are disposed to profit by voIun-
tarily violating it. Alcohol, whiskey
and various other liquors are not in
frequently needed and purchased for
purely medicinal purposes. When a
customer enters the store and asks
for liquor for medicinal purposes and
is willing to make an affidavit that he
needs it, it is the business of the
druggist to sell it to him, SO long as
the seller has no personal or probable
knowledge that the AFFIDAVIT is merely
a subterfuge Therefore the druggists
are entitled to sell liquor properly I'M
der their permits and it will be neces-
sary to show that they have consci-
ously violated the spirit of their per-
mits before it can be assumed that
they are to be proceeded against for
violation of the law. Is
The druggist is not naturally a
solicitor for the sale of liquor. He
occupies peculiar and, at times, dis
agreeable, position He must supply
proper necessities and at the same
time avoid the suspicion that he is
selling liquor solely for the profit
there is to be gained This is not al
ways easy. The Tribune is inclined
to believe that the average druggist
would prefer to have the sale of
liquor SO hedged about that it would
not be possible to put him in false
position. There are, no doubt, drug
gists who see in the prohibition law
only an opportunity to traffic in
Illegal wares at a high rate Of profit
There are other druggists who realize
the position they occupy and who
seek to do their duty to themselves
and to the community. The Tribune
prefers to believe that the local drug
gists are Of this latter class, and 1t is
believed that an agreement to sell
only to customers who present primo
facie cases of legitimacy and Twins
up to such an agreement will solve
the entire matter Of controversy as tt
druggists sales. s.. 81
