incut of till laws against the liiiior

il earucrtly requests future legis
latures not to incorporate small
towns with the privilege of licens

the attention of ImiiipIs of cominis

his fortune by bribery, tbe cost of
his success is the undermining of

The I'acl of pronipl mid certain

have n costly iiiliuiiiistralion of
justice al nil. It is certain that

placed by the ai t dividing murder
into two decrees punishment is
very far from certain. Men do
not fear the law enough to it liiiin

This should be plainly said and if
the only relief is iu legislation, law

that a sound public opinion may
apply the remedy.

ed tu leave no ruins along the line

that the citizens who then lived and

benr me out iu the assertion that

in nil lives when old hopes depart
