Curtailing the Liquor Traffic.
CHAPjrtîR I.— CONSTERNATION.
It was in Arcadia. The Couiicil of State, patriarchs with gentle eyes and
long beards, satmeditating- on measures pertaining- to the public weal.
Thé door was suddenly throwii open and a lad, breathless, with cheeks
flashéd and eyes bulging out with excitement, after several vain efforts to articu-
late, at length succceded in saying, " Your Honors,— there's a mad dôe—
rampaging the streets ! " ,• ,
In a moment alf was confusion, fîie aged counsellors sprang to their
feet and stwod silent with suppressed excitement. Then as with one impulse
they ail hastened to the front window's otthe Consilium,
•'There he is ! " cried one of them, "yonder by the cross-roads at the
- market! /
"Ah, yes! And, oh, horrors ! how he is foaming and raging I Woe to
any helpless ones that may chance to corne before hiin."
"See by the Panthéon," cried another, "th/children are just comine
from niornmg school ! They will surcly be bitten/by this mad beast ! "
And bitten they were. One and anothe/ of them were torn by his
poisonous fanes. ^ ! ■ ' ■'
"Oh, this is horrible ! " cried one of the v/nerable men at the window.
" What shall we do about it ? " /
" Ave, that's the practical question, what shall be done about it ? "
"Let us consuit the Legalia Convella."
, CHAPTER II.— CONSULTATION.
> /
The Legalia Convella were the Bc^ks of Law, the accumulated wisdom
ofmanyages, / 1*
The sages sat §oler>mly bending over the books. Day aftef day they
tuoied the leaves with no results. Meanwhile the mad dog had bitten many
s, and there wçre now scor^ of raging curs, foarying aïid lurking at
Pçorner, ready to spring upojl the passers-by.
rhe people mourned. Ihe/ca was lamentation in almost every house.
wômen and children weré bitten, and limped or were carried ta tjieir
homes, where, after weeks of ^Jngering pain, they died in awful spasms.
Still the délibérations wei^t on at the Concilium. The aged functionaries
were unwilling to do anythiné- without the autliority of law, and as yet thev
had been able to fiiid nothing. .' ^ '
■ ,^V^"J^^}^' .^^ *^^y "^T^^ pouring over the Convella, a gleam of sudden
joy lighted the face of on^of them and he cried, " I havo it ; hcar ii is ' "
They looked up eage'Hy, then bending over the book read as fbllows :
"Be ttordatned :/ That in case any beast shall so rage and rave as to
endanger the public safety, his tail shall forthwith be eut off ! "
''His tail eut off!" "What will that do? A dog don't bite with his
No, but he is/t apt to bite so harJ if his tail is eut off."
Mwi w
CHAPTER III. — REGULATION.
•* We dont believe it ! We dont believe it [ cried many voices ! "
"VVell, anyway, if we abbreviate the tails of thèse dogs, we shall
better able to regulate their doines.
" Whyso?'^
be
ovca
CURTAILINO THE LIQUOR TRAFFIC.
*• Beeause tliere won't be4o mueh of thé dogs to regulate."
... "4"';', besides we sliall lend a respectable air to the whole business in
tnis way,
" How ? ••
J'Why after cutting off their tails, 4t will be évident Ihat the law bas
nothing more against them. This wil^ make »bid dogs respectable, and
biting a legitimate business." -s»^ o r- .
" Yes, and it will increase our revenues." ^.
" Howdo you make that out ? " ,
"yVyhy. we can levy on th^ people a tax of one dollar for every tail eut dff,"
**v CHAPTER IV,-t-AGITATION.
^ f. "^^9^^^ of this nonsense, Wliat we want to do is to get rid of this
whole infernal business, A dog with his tail eut off is just as hard to regulate
as a doj^ with a; tail a yard lonj^. And it is no economy to increase the public
revenues by a dram on the people's purses. Neitiier do you gain anything by
makmg niad dogs respectable and a bad business légitimité. What we
want (o do is simply and solely to stop this rabid biting in the streets," (It
was a prohibitipnist who spoke— a fanatic).
Then tliere was silence for a long while. The Regulators could find
nothnig to say.
" ' '^^^^ '^ ^ ^'"^ve it ! " at length cried one. Then he read : ''
"Beitordai.ned: That in case any beast shall so rage and rave as to
endanger the public safefy, his tail shall forthwith be eut off. "
" VVhy, thal's precisely what we had before."
" Yes, but it is enough ; it will suppress the evil ; no need of our exceedinE-
the law. **
" How do you niakc that out ?
L^^l'^' ^°"*- y" ^'^^' '^''^ '^'^^ doesn't say where the dog's tail shall be
eut off I ■ '• Suppose we eut it off just back of the earsl"
CHAPTER V. — EXTIRPATION.
This was approved, The thing was donc. The dog's tails were eut off
just back of their ears. That was curtailing the business with a Vengeance.
It was prohibition. There was no régulation about it,
Hut this curtailing proved most effective. The mad-dog business was donc
witli (orever. Everybody said, " Why didn't we think of it before ? "
And when the old counsellor died, who had conceived the happy thought,
they built a monument over him beàring this inscription :
TO THE MEMORY OF
TEETOTALIS PROHIBITUS,
The Sage who Originated the Maxim.
" Tlie proper place to curtail a bad business is just back of the ears."
CHAPTER VI. —application.
The moral is this, thé liquor saloons are the mad dogs of our day,
raving in every street, Nearly every home is in mourning because of their
brutality, and the country is deluged with the crime and désolation which they
hâve brought about, There is but one way of dealing with tkis awful scourge,
Our laws must be madc to conform to those of ancient Arcadia as interpreted
by the wisest of^her sages. The body and soul-destroying business must be
curtailed as effectively as were Arcadia's mad dogs. How ? Through the
absolute Prohibition of the infamous traffic now and forever !
