Anarchists

The mere violator of law is respectable citizen
in comparison with the Would-be annhiator of law.
The mere violation of law bad as it may be, involves
an Acknowledgement OF law and does not exclude
even fundamental reverence for law. The GRIM
inal who denies all in every form OF law
and repudiates the fundamental conception OF all
authority is an anarchist and being such becomes
far worse than mere criminal.-Very Rev. P j.
OCalaghan, c. S. P.
The dister and brewer and wholesaler who per
sstenty attempt to sell their poisonous drugs IN dry
territory are more than mere violators of law At
heart they are annhilators of law which, being inter
preted means anarchists for their very apparent in
tenton is to make impossible any law that seeks to
restrain their trade.

Golfers

While the Issue dSagrees with the conclusion
reached in the following editorial from Golfers tor
September g. nevertheless the editorial shows Golfers
not only in this EDITORIAL but in previous issues OF that
paper Experience of cities under high and restricted
license does not warrant the conclusion that high IL
cense in any degree lessons drunkenness. The only
solution to the problem is saloon, with strict law
enforcement of that policy:
Making Drunkards.
Exaggeraton of figures is frequently charged
against the anti-saoon campaigners But what state
ment has ever been devised and circulated by them
as startling the report privately made to his firm
of dst1ers by of the more experienced whisky
statesmen in the country? "Regardless of population
claims" he writes, there is in this city of 100000
inhabitants saloon to every hundred people.
Allowing that per of the population adult,
liquor consuming men, this gives saloon to every
twenty customers, not females or minors" No snap
judgment careless estimate is this 1t is the pains
taking reckoning of expert out to of the
large Western cities make house-to-house
vas and report why his employers brand of whisky
was selling satisfactorily. Even allowing
more shocking hypothesis that the male adult pat
ronage of the saloon is but so per of its total,
and is equaed by the trade and children,
this up to but forty patrons per liquor store.
The inference is beyond doubt question. Only by
enormous consumption of alcohol per capita
looms contrive to live from slender clientele
Tn intoxcation lies their livelihood. They
Stimulate trade constantly in order exist OF the
making of many drunkards there is end under
American system. Fewer drunkards will be made
under high and restricted license than under that
liberal regime which permits the supply of saloons
grow vastly in excess of any normal demand.
