MR. EDITOR :- Amid all the rumors of license before election, and the agitation of the curfew law there are some things difficult to understand. For instance, when a man says " I shall vote no-license aud for the curfow law" his position is saky to understand. He believes In the home, believes In defending it, believes the beet place for clilldren is In the home. But when a man tells me he sliell vots for licenee, and for the ourfew law his mental condition is incomprehensible. What! Vote to compel children to go liome at n certain time, and then vote to license a man to use all his best efforte to destroy that home? What kind of sense la that? There are homes that are not as safe for the children as the public streets. The man who votes for license is the enemy of the children though he votes for all the foolish curfew laws that ever were invented. 1 would not be un- deretood as thinking that It is a good thing to let children run wild on this streets, but when government Assumes the duties belonging to the parents it is well to consider how the duties are to be performed, and what the effect upon the cbildreu is likely to be. As far as my experience goes, children have the same disposition as "grown ups" and resent any oppressive interference with their rights or liberties that older people do. If you desire to Incite a people to revo- lutiou enact oppressive and tyrannical
