OF this kind is made, is it any
body's business to prosecute? II
the same official had accused some
clerk of stealing ten dollars worth
OF stamps the clerk would have
been arrested long ago. Does
anybody believe that example of
lawlessness and immunity at the
top OF Government will not stimu-
late lawlessness in lower circles?
The most powerful men in this
country have all the money they
really need now. They could get
along without stealing the peoples
money for a little while, without
continuing to gouge them out of
their mercantile fleet, or otherwise
arouse public Indignation. The
easy old times have gone for the
present. There is restlessness and
danger.
Some men ought to take their
eyes of the ticker, take their hands
out of the national pocket, and
read up on the recent history of
Russia. 1t is full of enliphten-
ing little suggestions. The grand
dukes also stole too much.

LIQUOR
MINISTRY LIKELY

LONDON. Aug. 5.-Great Britain
may have a new ministry as a result
Of the war; a ministry growing out
Of wartime restriction on John Bar
leycOrn. which were forced by neces-
sity.
Lord d'Abernon. chairman OF the
liquor control board. a wartime de-
vice to keep England more sober,
says that only liquor ministry can
meet the present situation.
The main question now" said
Lord d'Abernon, "fs not how to de-
wise measures to effect further i'm
provement, but to maintain the
ground gained without infringing
personal liberty"
Temperance advocates are anxious
that no further relaxations in war
time restrictions. such as non-treat-
ing. shorter drinking hours. less in
toxicating beverages, be ordered IN
tit Legislation can be framed to make
such restrictions permanent.
There has been loud public out
cry, especially from labor, against
the weakness and insufficiency OF
beer. the notf-treating order and short
hours that notifications
have been made all around. The

far greater interference with his
