tdE National Model License league
is an organization whose active
and associate members are men
interested directly and collaterally in
the legalized manufacture and sale of
alcoholic beverages 1t exists for the
avowed purpose of advocating the
enactment OF laws designed ITO take
the liquor question out of politics and
to put the law-breakers out of the
liquor business"
The model license law was formulated
at a meeting of 10 men in louisville
in October, 1907, and was submitted to
the trade and to the public at con-
vention held in Louisville in January.
1908 The latest meeting Of the league
was in ST. Louis last week
Dealers Out of Politics.
The leagues official solution of the
liquor problem" comprises four prin-
cipal clauses as follows: Permanent
licenses, automatic suspension and can
collation. of licences for w-breaking,
limitation Of licenses in proportion to
population, and moderate license fees
The first clause is the most radical Of
the four, and is the most difficult TO
advocate successfully in view of the
fact that IL is so readily branded as an
attempt to perpetuate the liquor bust
ness. The league officers say that the
automatic renewal clause has but one
object and that Is to take the liquor
dealer out of politics by making him
Independent of political licensing
boards.
1t is contended by the league that
whenever a mans right to enter and
remain in business is subject to a great
extent to the goodwill of a politician,
that man must necessarily take an ac-
tive interest in politics. 1t is suggest
ed that the licensed liquor men who
violate the law do so for profit. and
that IL law breaking is made unprofit
able these offences will cease. Much
stress is laid on the desirability of pass
ing no laws except those that have the
loyal support Of all citizens. In other
words, If the law is fair to both the
dealer and his customer, neither will
have any desire to break IT.
Number OF Licenses.
The theory OF the league is that the
operation of a model license law would
prevent the continuance of an undue
number Of licensed places by giving
full play to the law of the survival o<
the fft1est-
According to this view the number
OF permanent retailers would adjust it
self. If too many licenses were issued
the surplus number would be forced
to withdraw for lack Of patronage. II
some yielded TO the temptation to vio
late the law they would be forced out
of business by the operation of the
mandatory clause compelling the sus-

"A LOCKER on in Vienna"
Scores Authorities of Val
ley Town-Declares They
Are Living Under Old
Laws.

Editor FL Paso Herald:
1 have noticed lately several instances
of difficulty between the town authori-
ties of Socorro, Texas. and the road
contractors and others
To most persons these evidences of
authority on the part of the Socorro
authorities will appear as inexplicable,
but not so TO the ranchers of that To-
cality.
In the spring Of 1903 and under the
advice of the officials of the water users
association and for the purpose Of
adopting plans to harmonize with the
Democrats of the redemption service,
the Socorro ranchers got up a petition
to the mayor and council TO grant them
permission 10 divert water from the
main canal into the old system of ace
quias. This petition was signed by
three-fourths of the acreage, served by
these ancient acequais, and was so rea-
sonable and just that it should have
met with prompt and unhesltating ac-
ceptance and the prayer granted imme-
diately.
Demand an Interpreter.
What was the result?
A demand was made upon the petit
TONERS for the payment of days sal
airy TO the mayor and each councilman
before they would consent to hold a
meeting to consider the petition, and
this was complied with.
A demand was made that the petition
should be translated from English into
Spanish, at the cost of the petitioners.
This was refused with just indigna-
ton.
A demand was made on the petition
ers to secure an interpreter to trans
late the petition from English into
Spanish, and this was done.
What a commentary, that in these
days of enlightenment officials elected
to execute the laws. are utterly unable
to read a word of the language IN which
they are printed.
Live Under Old Laws.
The council CD finally met. and after
mature elaboration denied the prayer
of the petitioners on the ground that
1t would be an innovation and contrary
10 the customs Of their ancestors.
The final result was that AT heavy
expense the petitioners were forced tn
construct an entirely new canal or ace
auia in order to irrigate their lands
Those Sorocco MeXicans are still liv-
ing under the old Mexican laws, and
they seem TO imagine that the strong
arm of Diaz yet reaches across the Rio
Grande. and they ignore the results OF
the 500 that formed the Lone Star re-
public and eventually the state OF Texas
after the subse1I rut war between the
United States and Mexico.

MODEL LICENSE LEAGUE
ITS PLANS FOR REGULATING SALOONS.

pension and cancellation of the licenses
of law-b breakers.
The league holds that if the retailer
has political independence. and profit
able business which he can retain 50
long only as he conducts it according
to law, he will be most anxious 20
obey the law.
Cleanliness of Breweries.
The handbook recently published by
the liquor interests contains a summary
of every argument that may be advance
ed by the anti-temperance people 1t
claims that nowhere else can such
cleanliness be found as in the brewery
and distillery, and says that the dairy
people ought to visit an uptOdate brew
cry for an object lesson in keeping
things clean.
Every bottle is sterilized in very hot
steam. all water is filtered and distill-
ed. and the beer is then pastuerized to
catch the stray germ that might other
wise survive. Then the bottle is made
air-tight and goes to the consumer
about as germ free as anything can
be.
Since London committee of scien-
lists declared beer to be a food. the
brewers claim to offer the cleanest
food on the market.
This book also claims that in Italy,
where men, women ana cNllOTen uIIHh
wine at their meals, there is less In
temperance than in America Exam
bassador White is quoted 10 this ef-
feet, and he declares that he found the
same true in Germany, where every
body drinks beer
The book also claims that the men
engaged in the manufacture Of beer
and whisky are the best paid workmen
in the country, and offers statistics
from the census office to prove its
statement
The liquor interests claim TO pay in
state and federal revenues the annual
sum of s25O.OO0. 900. with an added s70,-
600, 600 for taxes. They claim to repre-
sent an investment OF nearly billion
dollars. The capital tied UP in the man
ufacture of spirituOus and malt liquors
amounts to more than $780, 100000, and
the retail business represents the rest
Consumption Increases.
II is declared that while nearly $4,000
retailers and some 700 wholesalers were
put out of business by restrictive leg
islation last year, the government fig
ures show a heavier consumption or
liquors during 1903 than during the
previous year: and that the temperance
legislation simply is restricting the
number of dealers but not the number
of consumers. However, the previous
year was the panic year, and probably
that fact was not taken into the reck-
oning.

THE WHITE SLAVE EVIL.
Editor FL Paso Herald:

Editor FL Paso Herald:
see so much said about white
Slave Traffic" that I want to say that
a large amount Of this bad state OF
affairs comes from genuine laziness-
men and women are brought up to do
nothing to speak Of no trade what
ever, nor would they use q trade II
they had one.
So as time rolls on, it is time soon
for them to have to look out for them
selves; they have been reared only In
moderate circumstances, but at the
same time waited upon at home as
though they were helpless babes; have
been taught that work was disease
and that they might get their hands
soiled II they did that; they must have
somebody at every beck and call
boys could not even make themselves
q fire; girls could not clean their own
rooms Somebody else must do all that
for them.
When the time comes for them TO
look out for themselves so many will
choose the road 10 their own destruc
ton rather than take to honest toll.
Now. the whole trouble lies at par
ents' feet; they are to blame; those
children were given them TO rear and
train, not pamper. To pamper a child
Is the worst thing in the world for its
own good.
reared to indolency Will hunt girls and
women 10 take care Of them in these
most miserable dens OF vice and sin.
And the girls. 1 have known girls
in socalled Christian homes to tramp
out at night and stay out till midnight
and past with boys OF the town that
a respectable girl should not be seen
with in the daytime.
Our young people have too much
time for lettering around and not
enough time for good, honest work.
Next thing they know they have done
something that they know is not right.
Then they see where they stand: then
they go from bad 70 worse TIL their
lives are as black as torment and they
resort TO those houses Of i'll fame. to
suffer shame and disgrace the rest Of
their lives.
Every child should have a reasonable
amount OF work TO do and should be
made 10 do that whether It's parents
want If to work or not: the early train
ing is the best: there IS too much CAD
ding about and not enough work for
the good Of the people.
II you don't give people profitable
employment they will have unproht-
able work: they are bound to have
something to take up their time. They
will either serve God or Mammon-
have been a practical nurse for sew
eral years and / tell you the greater
part of this trouble is that there are
too many grown babies; too many
grown people helpless, simply because
they want to be. They think the world
owes them a living; the world does not
owe them anything unless they get up
and get it.
