WHAT WILL
PEOPLE THINK?

f"1 WO young men-with homes
in Brownsburg and Cler-
0 mont-were arrested by
police the other night after holding
up an Indianapolis filling station.
They confessed the job and an
other a few nights before.
Neither man had a previous
police record. They worked but
were dissatisfied with their work
and dabbled in banditry because
they wanted to do something diff
ferent." Their chief concern when
arrested was over what the home
town folks would say.
What will people think? 1t is
easy to jeer at the power of public
opinion. But the desire to impress
neighbors and hometown folks is
the motive for some glittering sue
cesses in the world. Likewise fear
of what people will think restraints
many from following their in.
clinations to elope with the cook
or abscond with the banks assets.
It's too bad the two young filling
station bandits didn't worry about
Main streets opinion sooner.

No Transient Permits

Recently the commission abolished
the Temporary" permit which was
intended to enable the transient. on
payment Of so cents, to satisfy his
passing requirements in the way Of
gin or whisky. The commission felt
that it was being abused. So now
the transient must stand at the
counter of the liquor store and wait
for some local permit holder to have
the kindness to credit on his permit
what the transient wishes to buy.
This method, which found
successful, was suggested by one Of
the managers of a Vancouver store.
This province has followed the
lead of Alberta in reducing the COM
mission to one instead of three
members. There is great ad-
vantage in a commission of one. 1t

Government pay for the Philippine
Islands. Did this Government ever
promise the islands independence?
The Philippine Islands were ceded
by Spain to the United States by the
treaty Of peace concluded between
the United States and Spain on April
11,1S99. The United tSates paid

shore duty whenever there is a
vacancy and in their turn. They
are not, however, allowed to take
more than two years shore duty at

nj ANCOUVER, B. c., Canada
IlN Cby maiD.-Ever since Octo-
III Der, 1920, British Columbia
has had the government stores"
plan of liquor control. This year in
April it adopted also the '"beer-by-
the-glass" plan in operation in Al
berta. There are "taverns" in
connection with hotels-about seven
ty-eight in Vancouver-where beer
by the glass or bottle is served at
a table, without bar and without
food or music.
This differentiates the tavern"
from the old-fashioned bar. Beer is
the only thing sold and there is
nothing added to increase the con-
sumption.
1t is a very sober operation-this
drinking of beer at a tavern"
Very matter of business and unstim-
ulating; shades Of Pepys and DIR.
Johnsonl What would they have
thought Of it? No loosening of per-
sonal condolences! No meat pie or
frkin Of oysters! No rare anec-
dote! No loud laughter! No roys-
tering! None of the addenda that
were associated in ancient days
with that word tavern"
Seven Beers Limit
There is a cold punctilous observ-
ance Of proprieties at all the "tav-
ems" / have visited, and l have
tried 10 be fair to the investigation.
The proprietors are so in fear of
their licenses that a "seven beer
jagg" is verging on the ultimate.
BY that time the censor is liable to
suggest retirement. He is author
lied at any time TO refuse sale and
is addicted to the habit Of quietly
putting them out.
In Quebec they have the tavern"
too, but in Quebec one may have
beer or wine with meals. 1t is the
one province where this may be
done legally in public places.
Vancouver has the personal per
NIT" system for the purchase Of
liquors and wines, or beer by the
case. The permit costs 50 a year
and carries a number. All pur-
chases are supposed to be credited
on the back. There is no limit to
what a permit holder may buy ex-
cept the discretion Of the commits
sion.
