ILicnses for the sale of liquor in New York City and state expire an nually on September 30. October 1 of this year saw an extraordinary falling off in the number of licenses renewed. In Manhattan alone, 27 bar-keepers decided that the business had eased to be profitable and pullea down their blinds. In the Bronx, 150 saloons, and in Brooklyn. 215 cloased for good in more senses than one, last Saturday night. In other cities throughout the state the sus pension of retail liquor houses and cafe and cabaret bars was proportion ate to that in the chief city. Many causes contributed to the conviction on the tart of the liquor seller that .his business had seen its best day. The general trend of public senti ment againt the traffic constitutes perhaps the most potent factor. It is coming to be realized by those en gaged in the manufacture and sale of alcoholic liquors that public op inion in hound to crush the industry as they still like to call it. But the more immediate causes of the rfr- t.rpat nf tVi linuor traffic may tot. found trie in the higher cost of doing business m the inhibition of the sale of liqu or to men in uniform; in the increase of general taxes; in the state surtax law, and finally, in newly enacted am endments to the state liquor-tax law, which provide that, after September 30 of this year, only one saloon can be licensed for every 500 inhabitants in political subdivisions having less than 55,000 people. The operation of this legislation alone, it is estimat ed automatically drove more than 2,000 saloons' in the state out of bus iness. The truth of the matter is that the retail liquor business, even m so- called wet states and districts, has for a number of years been steadily growing unpopular and unprofitable. The places themselves, once witn some reason described as neighbor hood resorts, have long been largely changed in charactor. Formarly, the neighborhood saloon was a ren dezvous for politicals and others. The proprietor was a person in touch with local sentiment and affairs. His was a common gathering place, in a sense, a dub house. With the growtn in strength of the temperance mov ment, the better class of customers fell away; the saloon ceased to be deemed respectable, it was because it became entirely commercial. It passed into the hands of syndicates composed of brewers and distillers. It lost its political influence. Jt came to be treated by the lawmakers with out sentiment and for what it real ly had become, a purely commercial enterprise. As such it had to stand or fall. ' s such, owing to changed social conditions, it was sooner or later bound to fall. In the average community of the United States a few years ago, the saloon expressed the most offensive ntiosn. rrf a-nerinl tyrivileee in ItS 6V- fery pane of glass, its every bottle, this it used to its own eventual u. struction.
