A Licensing Question.

Strong Remarks by a Magis v trate.

United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph Westpost, Sept. 19 At the Licensing- Committee meeting ap plication was made for a new license at Millerton, a colliery township, to take the ' place of a license which had lapsed in another part of the district. Mr Hawkins, S.M., chairman of the Bench, spoke in the strongest terms of condemnation of any increase in the number of licenses. He forcibly opposed the application, and B»id the traffic in licenses was allowed by a slip of the law, but the practice* was certainly- ■' never intended by the Legislature. If - applicants bought licenses in this way and '" took the risk of getting them transferred, that was their look out. The committee. - : had nothing to do with it. The duty of the committee was to deal honestly with the business before them in the public interest. To grant this application would give one license to every hundred and fifty people at Jfillerton. He was sure that was nerer Intended by the Legislature. In England one license to every 300 people was con sidered a very high? percentage. He was - . ! convinced that some day the Legislature would legislate on the liquor question on a popalation basis from the point of view of the people, not from the point of view of the brewers. The publicans' position was that in the Buller district there was now a license to every hundred men, women and children. If all these public houses - were really maintained by the people it meant that there was an enormous waste of money. As chairman hie duty was to. oppose a further increase of licenses. He appealed to the committee to refuse the-application.. They should not allow the planting of licenses wherever the publicans wished. It was«intended to catch men as they came out of the coalpit, and tempt them to drink. The committee adjourned the application. '

KITCHEKEB AND THE SUBALTERN—Th« stories which are flying around with Lord Kitchener as their hero are countlesß, but; tfee following is both new and true. Juat before he quitted South; Africa, " X, of X, " was asked by a young and rather dandified subaltern to write his ' autograph on hw, the subaltern's, haudkerchief. Kitohmer jeadily consented, and the hankerchief was produced. It was a dainty piece of cam bric, more suitable for a Society - belle than for an officer in His IVtajesty'a Army. The general eyed the pretty trifle for a moment, and then said, "Whose hankerchief is that, your sister's ?" "No," said the youog* ster, "it is mine. I have rather a pretty taste in hankerchiefs, you know." " In deed" was Kitchener's cutting rejoiner, " and what is your ta3te like in hairpins ? " For Asthmatical troubles of any kind th« only .certain specific is Evans' Mountain. King Asthma Powder.
