We detest high license for the fol- u lowing reasons: It increases the ac- ta tivity of the saloon-keeper in politics; w it is unjust legislation, for it says a te poor man shall not have a chance to In engage in this very remnunerative at traffic, getting the curses but none of m the compensation; it is adding to the public revenues from the purses of those least able to bear it-th)e weak. and the ignorant, for from the pa trons of the saloon, not from the W saloon-keepers themselves, comes the to license fee at last; it is an addi- as tional premium upon evasion of the th restrictions of the law; it debauches 81: the public conscience and makes it s harder than ever to reach ultimate G prohibition, placing a money barrier by before us twice as high and twice as ca strong as it now is; it Is, finally, a th compounding with felony, a coin d promise with the devil, in that it at- he tempts to respect,abalize what is in. his herently a devilish occupation, and Hf continues to set before the people w a legal standard of right and wrong in which is utterly at variance with w right moral standards. v High license must go. a Dr. Crosby and the Tiger. al New York Star.ti At the Academy of Music meeting hi in Brooklyn last Thursday night su (and a magnificent meeting it was, as nc our account shows) Dr. Crosby used M that wel!-kuown illustration about b( the tiger, and the necessity, if we n couldn't kill him, of restricting him N to one-half the city.
