sheriff, or for return of warrant by lin. I suggest, therefore, that the law be amended, giving the treasurer a certain, specified num- ber of days in which he may receive the tax, giving to the sheriff not exceeding 30 days in which to collect and five days additional in which to make his return. When his return is made he should be required to furnish a copy of it to the prosecuting attorney of the county, whose duty it should! be to commence proceedings at once in all cases where the tax has not been paid. The treasurer should also furnish monthly lists of persons who have failed to file the bonds required under the law, to the prosecuting attorney for prosecution.
Summary process for the absolute removal of any officer neglecting his duties under this law should be provided for. These details of administration ought not to be needed, but there seems to be something peculiar regarding this business, and it requires tying up tight. The police regulations, in my opinion, should be so amended, as to prohibit the sale of any kind of intoxicating liquors on election day, and after II o'clock at night. There is a vast amount of liquor sold in drug and confectionery stores, without the payment of the tax. The only remedy that I can suggest is to place them under the provisions of the law and tax them. I believe that with these amendments the law will be found, year by year, more and more restraining in its tendencies, and more productive of good to the people. It has already closed over 2,000 places where liquor has been sold, and has put into the common treasury $1,- 000,000 from the traffic.
The spring is no higher than its source. and no law that has not the sympathy and sentiment of the people acting with it, will ever remedy an evil. If a community do not regard temperance, sobriety, and good morals as a necessity to their well-being, the law will do them but little good,-while to the friends of good order, public peace and private content, it will prove a blessing.
Intemperance is the danger of the hour. It feeds prison and poor house ; destroy- morals and manhood, and cancer-like, eats away the life of the individual and nation. Law will not stop its ravages, but it may be made an instrument that will lessen its evil work, and this, I believe, our present law is doing. It should be strengthened and im proved, bearing in mind that its provisions should be kept within the pale of public sentiment, and within the range of the com mon sense of justice that so universally prevails in the minds of the people.
The sullden and severe illness in my family that calls me away, has prevented me from
