DRINKERS LICENSES.

While scientists and reformers have
been burning the midnight oil In eHorts
70 solve the saloon problem Senator
HEPBURN in the quiet of his committee
room has evolved scheme which has
caused them TO sit up and take notice.
He advocates a licensing of drinkers III
stead of salooDkeepers-an attack on tne
problem at its root, the ultimate con
sumer. instead of in the middle. He in
sists that too much attention is paid TO
the men who sell liquors and too little 10
the men who drink them.
Those who think that regulation OF me
liouor business. like governmental inter
ference with business in general, has
gone too far. having developed into
species Of paternalism, may make up
their minds that the cure for II Is TO be
pafernal TO the consumer The theory on
which saloons are licensed is IA sort of
combination Of the revenueproducer and
pOlice-powcrs ofthe-Sta doctrines. On
either basis, or both in common. II IS
Infinitely more applicable to Senator
Heyburn's plan. If tho consumers have

TO he greater than that To be derived
from taxing the middleman. At the same
time the public. for these individual
contributions, ought TO derive dement's

there would be some sort Of grading IN

for license should have 10 pass IN cN-
animation 10 disclose his qualifications
as a drinker, and q medical examination
to prove his ability to continue TO drink.
TO prevent eyasiOns Of the law there
should be an adequate corps of inspcc-
tors. and of course each municipality
would have lists Of the duly qualified
and licensed drinkers or those entitled 10

Such system. carefully guarding the
interests Of state and individual alike,
should put the drink evil' on an entire

BRITISH LIFEBOAT PROVISION.

Two of the most suggestive remarks
concerning the loss not Of the Titanic
but Of the lives of so many of her pas
sengers and crew appear in two Of the
foremost English papers. Commenting
on the report that 'all the Titanics boats
had been accounted for" The Morning
Post" said "On the face Of it this state
"ment is not reassurlng, for it might be
"taken as implying that all the boats
carried by the liner were equal to re-
"ceiving but one-third Of the persons on
board" On the same topic "The Lon
don Times" said: Here arises a some
what difficult and delicate question.
"Had there been boats enough to ac-
"commOdate all on board II seems rea-
"sonable to think that all on board
"mfNht have been saved. The
question will have to be met. whether
enough 10 take all who were on board >
Obviously the idea had prevailed in those
newspaper offices that vessels carried
enough lifeboats 10 carry all their pas
sengerS aud crew.
What ground there was for this. as
sumption may be perceived through ref
erence TO the rules prescribed by the
merchant shipping act, as cited by The
Morning Post" These provide for the
number Of boats which vessels must
carry, beginning with two boats on a
vessel of 100 tons. up to fourteen on one
of 5000 tons. Thereafter vessels of
10000 tons or more must carry sixteen
boats; and there is no further prescrip-
tion. OF course, at that time there was
no thought Of a Titanic of 5000 tons
The rules were made in 1894, when the
Campania, Of 1880 tons, was the "last
word in shipbuilding" and when there
were probably not more than half a
dozen ships on the Atlantic with as
much as 10000 tons. For a vessel of
10000 or even 1900 tons sixteen boats,
with cubic capacity of 300 tons,
doubtless seemed adequate.
II will be said, Of course, with no lit
tie peftinence and force. that the rules
should have been revised 50 as TO keep
pace with shipbullding and that when
vessels Of 10000, OF 10000 and of $4,000
tons, successfully. appeared the number
and capacity of the boats which they
must carry should have been prescribed.
But We must not accuse the authorities
