Step by step the liquor truffle approaches its
doom. Once it possessed the world tor its ter
ritory with no restriction upon it- operations.
Xow restriction exists where liquor is sold, and
prohibition reigns over many broad acres popu
luted by hundreds of happy people where liipior
selling is outlawed. Now, Kus.-ia. saitl to be
slow, comes into the ju'ohibitioii column so far
as the governinont's own interest in the busi
liess is a fleeted. Heretofore, the ' 'znr luis allow
ed and. no doubt has been in favor of his gov
ernment selling liquor, as lie seems now to have
the authority to stop such sales. The hot fea
ture about the new innovation i- the fact that
the decree of the emperor came from the Czar
as a result of popular sentiment in its favor.!
We pledge ourselves now and here to never
pass an opportunity between now and next fall
