Never before has this country demand
ed higher ideals among its citizenship,
never before have we been confronted,
as a nation, with as grave and impor-

Standard Higher.
There is a world of difference be-
tween the man in public life, who is
trying to conform TO an opinion about
him. and the man who is trying to
bring his living to a high standard.
A world of difference between the
man who is trying to do right when he
thinks the people are looking at him,
and the man who tries to do right be-
cause he believes the eye of God is
ever upon him. The man who is try
ing TO do right when he thinks people
are watching will find the time some
time when he thinks the people are
not looking and then he takes a vaca-
ton and falls.

of the poor that il may understand
their needs and help them to a larger
life. Fraternalism converts punish
ment from a process OF revenge to a
process of reform, turns the prison
into a penitentiary, the county Jail
into reform school, and makes the
judge upon the bench the guardian of
the unkempt, unframed boys who are
brought before him. Fraternalism
joins the hands of labor and capital,
OF employer and employe in a cordial
grasp and makes them partners in a
common industry for their common

Petition Moot an Election.
1T is plain that the court did not
mean to hold that the procuring OF
signers to the petition and that pres
entation thereof to he county court
was an election, for the law, as it
then existed, permitted adult females
as we'll as adult males to sign petit
ton praying that the sale Of intoxi-
eating liquors be prohibited by the
court. The court had already held the
act constitutional. If such proceed
ing was an election, the court could
not have held. the act constitutional,
for under our Constitution only male
persons over the age of twenty-one
years with certain other qualifications
as to residence are allowed to vote.
The court only said that the proceed
ing was conducted in like manner as
an election. To say that proceeding
is analogous to or like an election is
quite a different thing from saying 1t
is an election.
Cites Pine Bluff Case.
Counsel for appellees rely on the
case of Leon levy ex parte, zine

their position that the act under con-
sideration denies the adults OF the col

inhabitants and is therefor vioiatlve

Not Analogous to Election.
Judge Grace held that the proceed

proper for the county court to permit
the petitioners or plaintiffs to en.er

eat the last preceding general cleo
ton majority of the voters of the
county and of each ward in Pine Bluff
had voted in favor of license. The
county court granted the license to
Levy. The court held that while the
court might have refused him license
for good cause it could not adopt the
policy of granting licenses to others
and arbitrarily refuse him, for such
action would deny him privilege
given to others and would be in vio-
lation of the state Constitution.

Duties Of County Court.
at will be noted that the county
court is not required even then to is
sue license, but it may do so if the
conditions prescribed by the statute
are complied with. AS We have al
ready seen the statute requiring that
| license should only be issutd on the
recommendation of property holders,
| taxpayers and heads of families. etc.,
have been sustained.
"'If the position assumed by the
counsel for appellees is correct such
statute would be open to the objec-
| ton that the class of signers which
are designated are given privileges
and immunities which are not granted
to other citizens. The lawmakers are
presumed to be familiar with moral
conditions as they exist in this state
and to know what class of citizens
could best give proper information as
to the evils that might result from the
liquor traffic. The lawmakers doubt
less thought that the class designated
in the statute knew best whether the
granting of license to sell Intoxicating
liquors would be dangerous to the
morals of the community and likely
to result in injury.
"Such an action on the part OF the
Legislature did not give the persons
designated in the statutes privilege,
but only imposed a condition upon the
traffic in intoxicating liquors.
1--WE are of the opinion that it is
we'll settled by the courts of the
country that the statutes imposing
conditions on the business of retailing
Intoxicating liquors, though such con-
ditions may be more onerous than
those imposed upon other businesses,
and though such conditions may be so
burdensome as to render the business
improbable, and on that account IN
it's practical results to prohibition,
may be sustained because the business
of selling intoxicating liquor more
seriously affects the health. morals
and general welfare of the people
than another business.
therefore we are of the opinion
that ethe act under consideration is
