law may require that the licensee be
person of good moral character, but that
requirement amounts to simply nothing
at all unless some person or persons be
empowered to determine in each case the
question of moral fitness. And who is
better qualified to exercise this power
than twelve men elected by and respon
sible to the people of the community?
The board should also possess the sole
power to revoke license. On the com
plant of any citizen that certain
liquor dealer was violating the law or
that he was maintaining nuisance of
any kind, it would be the duty Of the
board to hold a public trial of the mat
ter, summon and swear witnesses, and
give the accused person an opportunity
to defend himself. After hearing all the
evidence, the board should have power
by a two-thirds vote to dismiss the case
or suspend or revoke the license. And
there should be no appeal from their
decision.
OF course it will be objected that this
plan places too much power in the hands
of the excise board Well, if you give
men in this position so little power that
they could not possibly do any harm.
YOU make it impossible for them to do
any good There is not the remotest
likelihood that such a board, elected by
the people could be unduly influenced to
grant a license to a man of known I'M
fitness or to drive a decent, law-abiding
liquor dealer out of business. There
would certainly be far less likelihood OF
abuse of power under such a system
than there is now under the local-option
system, For, under the latter system. a
bare majority of the voters can. at one
stroke, revoke every license in the town
without trial or hearing or reason The
most reputable liquor dealer is no safer
than the dive keeper The proposed plan
is home rule of the right kind. It gives
the people all the power they need to
regulate, but no power to destroy and
confiscate Under this system, the
liquor business would be placed on
permanent footing. Every dealer would
be absolutely sure that his license was
secure as long as he obeyed the law and
conducted his business decently The
only persons that would be put out of
business would be the disreputable
liquor dealer and the prohibition agita-
tor.

be left to the decision of a majority
vote at a local election. On the other
hand, the state, after establishing the
legality of the liquor business every
where within its borders, should grant
to the local community the fullest free
dom and power in the matter of regula-
ton.
Starting with this general principle of
state rule in matters of general policy
and home rule in matters of local adj
ministration, the following is a rough
outline of the plan OF regulation that
the writer has in mind as a substitute
for the present local-option system.
That the people in each local com.
munity (the township is probably the
best unit) be empowered to elect their
own board of excise commissioners,
twelve in number, to serve for term of
say two years. This board should have
power to determine the amount of the
license fee within maximum and mini
mum limits fixed by the state); to de-
termine how many licenses should be is
sued within maximum and minimum
limits fixed by the state); to determine
the question of prohibited days and
hours and all other questions of
purely local nature. The board should
have sole power to grant and revoke
licenses, subject to certain rules of pro
cedure. The applicant should be required
to present to the board a certificate of
good moral character signed by twelve
reputable persons, who should be prop.
erty owners and residents of the com.
munity. The board should be required
to hold a public hearing on all applica
tions for license, and an opportunity be
given to remonstrants, should there be
any, to present their objections After
this hearing, the board should have full
discretionary power by majority vote
to grant or refuse any application And
there should be no appeal from their de-
cision. This power to grant licenses is
the most important of all 1t is the key
to the whole situation. And this key
should be placed in the hands of the
people most nearly affected. If we can
prevent unfit persons from getting into
the liquor business, -,e have, at the very
outset, solved nine -tenths of the prob
lem of regulation The trouble now is
that almost anybody that has the price
whether he is morally fit or not, can
get license and start up a saloon. The
The labor journal. [volume] (Everett, Wash.) 1909-1976, 1909-09-03

The question to be determined at the
outset is, what kind of excise law, I'M
der given conditions, with men as they
are in their individual and social life.
and with political standards as they are.
will effect the best results. The trouble
with much of our legislation is that it
has ignored limitations imposed by ac-
tual conditions Legislation is not the
expression of ideals nor of moral yearn-
ings. The law should represent the
nearest approach to the ideal that pre-
sent conditions will admit of. Another
equally important consideration, follow
ing on this is that the same legislation
is not adapted for all communities.
Hence, liquor legislation should provide
for very large measure of home rule.
But there is right and wrong kind of
home rule. The so-called local option
system that now obtains in many of the
states, is the wrong kind. 1t is I'M
sound i'll principle and demoralizing in
its effects. 1t is at variance with the
general policy of regulation. 1t is part
of the policy and program of prohibition.
1t is an instrument placed in the hands
of prohibitionists to enable them to gain
their end little by little. Now, all the
features and provisions of state liquor
law should be mutually consistent and
harmonious. All parts of the law should
have the same general intent and con
form with the same general policy But,
under the present localoption system,
the state is following two opposite
policies at the same time. This kind of
local option gives the local community
too much power and too little power.
The people have no power to say who
shall receive licenses and what moral
and other qualifications shall be re-
qured. They have no power to deter
mine the question of prohibited days
and hours; no power TO determine the
amount of the license fee, nor to set Il
limit on the number of licenses to be
issued. There is no option on any of
these matters of practical adminstra-
tion that properly come within the scope
of local self government. The COM
munity has option on only one question
whether the liquor traffic shall be
legalized or prohibited. This local-option
scheme reverses the true order of po-
litical administration. 1t withholds from
the local community those minor but
important powers that the people in
the local community are in the best
position to exercise wisely, while it con-
fers upon the local community that Sill
preme power of life or death over the
liquor traffic which ought to be re-
served in the hands of the state Under
this system the liquor dealers and the
public are in constant state of I'M
certainty as to the fundamental ques-
ton of regulation or abolition. At every
local option election there is the pos
sibility of complete revolution of
policy. Today the liquor business is just
as legitimate as any other business; to-
morrow, it may be under the ban of the
law The question is never settled.
Neither side wins a permanent victory.
The state alone should settle this all
important question of the legality of the
liquor traffic. A question like this, in
volving the fundamental rights of prop
erty and of personal liberty, should not

a very fine brand of whisky manning
the brandt that we should like to intro
duce in your town. We shall be glad
to extend to you the usual courtesy OF
ten per cent. commission on all sales
that we may make through the list you
send u.s." Well, the hotel man thought
he would have a little fun, and 80 he
made list of about thirty five of the
most rabid prohbitionists in the place
and sent the list to the whisky firm. He
thought it would be fine joke on the
prohbitionists to have them deluged
with whisky circulars. And it turned
out to be a better joke than he thought
For, at the end of three months, he re-
ceived letter from the whisky people
thanking him for what he had done, and
inclosng a check for twenty seven dol
lars commission. This story throws
light on the curious circumstances al
ready referred to, that, as the prohi-
bition movement spreads, the consump-
ton of liquor increases.
FIX President Eliot of Harvard sums
up the whole case against prohibition
in its effects on the social and political
life. He says: "The efforts to enforce
it (prohibition) during forty years past
have had some unlocked for effects on
public respect for courts, judicial proce-
dure. oaths and law, legislatures and
public servants. The public have seen
law defied, whole generation of habtu-
al law breakers, schooled in evasion and
shamelessness, courts ineffective through
fluctuations of policy, delays, perjuries,
negligences and other miscarriages of
justice, officers of the law double faced
and mercenary, legislators tImrd and in
sincere" Such is the character and the
record of prohibition.
The writer of the present article does
not wish to minimize the evils and ab-
uses that have been allowed to grow up
and intrench themselves in the liquor
traffic. There is no doubt that some
liquor dealers have condoned and en-
couraged conditions repugnant to moral
sense and destructive of decency and
good order. They have encouraged
other vices, such as gambling and the
social evil. They have catered and
pandered to the worst passions and inn
pulses in human nature. And they have
done all this in cold blooded desire to
increase the volume of their business
But the number of such dealers is COM
paratiyely small. At the same time, one
such man in the business is one too
many. Liquor laws should be so framed
that it would be extremely difficult, if
not impossible, for men of this stamp to
get into the liquor business, and the law
should also provide simple and easy
way to drive out those that have gotten
i'm.
The limits of this article preclude a
lengthy discussion of the question of a
legislative remedy for the evils con
nected with the liquor traffic But il
will not be amiss to suggest plan
of regulation which, in the judgment
of the writer, would be a step in the
right direction.
In formulating liquor legislation, We
should be guided by two fundamental
principles, The first is practicability

A Trained Nurse Discovered Its Effect

No one is in better position to know
the value Of food and drink than a
trained nurse.
Speaking of coffee, a nurse of
Wilkesbarre, Pa writes: 81 used to
drink strong coffee myself and suffer-
ed greatly from headaches and indi-
gestion
while on a visit to NIX brothers
had a good chance to try Postum, for
they drank it altogether in place Of
ordinary coffee. After using Postum
two weeks l found l was much bene-
fitted and finally my headaches disap-
peared and also the indigestion.
Naturally have since used Postum
among my patients and have noticed
marked benefit where coffee has
been left off ana Postum used.
81 observe a curious fact about Pos
tum used among mothers. 1t greatly
helps the flow of milk in cases where
coffee is inclined to dry up, and where
tea causes nervousness
Il find treble in getting servants to
make Postum properly. They most
always serve it before it has been boil
ed long enough. 1t should be boiled

NAMING Of
TEACHERS
Meeting ofthe School Board
Held Last Night
APPLICANTS ARE NUMEROUS

The city school board, the members

met last night and elected the staff
of teachers for the ensuing year
There are thirty-six teachers in the
ordinary course of study and foul
special teachers of drawing, domestic
science, manual training, and music
respectively. 1t is expected that sew
eral additional teachers will have to
be employed in the fall TO meet the
demands of the increased school pop
ulation, but the board last night
went no further than to employ the
usual number.
There were several vacancies, caus-
ed by resignation, and these were
filled from a list of perhaps a hun
dred applicants. Following is the list
of teachers who We're re-employed:

The new teachers on the staff will
be: Miss Helen Duval, Miss La

Francis Hickman, Miss Maude Alice
Wilson and Miss Julia B. Dunnica,
teacher of music.
A successor to Superintendent Still
well has not yet been selected by the
board, but the members say there is
already in sight such a list of appli-
cants that there will be no difficulty
in selecting a high class man for
the position. 1t is recognized that the
superintendency of the Phoenix
schools is one of the most desirable
positions in the country, and applica-
tions have been received from some
of the best educators in the United
States
For the next year the salary Of
the superintendent will be $4,000. The
board decided to raise the salaries of
grade teachers to SIS per month, an
increase of SO.
The board will meet again Satur-
day night, when it is expected that a
statement will be given to the public
as TO the views of the board con-
corning the need of new buildings. 1t
is well known that the schools are
already crowded to an unsanitary de-
gree, and it is understood that some
twenty additional rooms will have to
be provided. AS it will be impossible
to complete the construction of new
buildings before the beginning of the
new school year, it will undoubtedly
be necessary to rent rooms for the
first part of the year to accommodate
the pupils properly.
