At first the petition was rejected. It was opposed by the saloonkeepers, and the board claimed that there was no pub- lie demand for the change. It also Ques- toned whether increasing the cost of the license would decrease the number of sa- looms, as many of them were owned by breweries which were amply able to stand the increase. Changes occurred in the personnel of the board. A tentative in- crease was made, then revoked, then adopted at $300. It is now $4vv and w4n probably be raised to $500.
 The committee does not claim credit for these changes. Public sentiment has grown, but the committee is always there | to voice public sentiment, and to keep it's first demands from being forgotten. The next feature of the work Is in regard to infractions of the law.
 All police complaints are brought to the attention of the board at its monthly meetings. Soon after the organization of the committee a conference was held with the executive committee of the Liquor Dealers association of Orange. The mem- bers told the committee that they pledged themselves to obey the law not to sell to minors. not to sell to habitual drunkards or disorderly persons, and also to discip- line any member found guilty of such in- fractions. They have also volunteered to assist in the prosecution of those guilty of these offenses. Nothing was said at this time about Sunday closing. Sunday selling behind closed doors was all but universal.
 The bishops law" so-called, has changed all that. simple clause requiring all screens to be removed from doors and windows. and a further clause forbidding the sale of liquor In back rooms with penalty of revocation of H. cense, stopped the Sunday business at one stroke. The Orange Liquor Dealers as- sociation promptly passed a resolution re- quiring obedience to the law.
 This is not the place to discuss liquor laws the only object of this paper being to show that public opinion being active- ly expressed and kept before public offi- cials, these officials are reinforced by the unofficial expressions of organised good citizenship, and the burden of proof Is placed upon those who wish to see a dif- ferent state of affairs.
 Why should not this be done in any locality by specialized committees, not viz ilanoe committees looking for wrongdoing,
