First. We must consistently con-
tinue to influence the retailer to so
conduct his business as to eliminate
those features that may be open to
criticism. 1t was Daniel Webster who
said that liberty exists in proportion

Secondly. We must endeavor TO
educate the American public to the
great evils that statutory prohibition
creates, so as to build up sentiment in
favor of license, regulation and con-
troll.
Thirdly. We must be able and pre-

 The fund for the relief of the fire sufferers now exceeds $15,000 and is growing rapidly. Arrangements are being made for number of theatrical benefits for the fund while many store keepers on the East Side have an nounced that they will donate to the fund.
 The unidentified bodies now in the morgue are merely charred embers and it is unlikely that any of them will be identified.

 There were nearly a dozen other al- legged victims of Manchester in tha spectators benches in the city court. The case was continued until Friday owing to the absence of important witnesses for the State. Manchester formerly resided at 355 Carroll avenue, but lately he moved with his people to Stratford and Union avenues.
