Following is an ex planation of this brunch of work.

If the decision is upheld by the higher courts it will I close every sa loon in the state. Judge Art man held that the retail liquor business has no legal stauding, on the ground that it is not one of the inherent common law rights of citi zenship, since the business is danger ous to public health, public morals, and pohlic safety. LEGISLATURE CAN'T GIVE RIGHT. Tho legislature, Judge Artman de clared cannot make lawful for a price that which is unlawful, because that contravenes the fundamental principle fo government In other words, the legislature caunot legalize a meuance to publio health, nor can the state, under the guise of a police regulation looking to the public morals, license the saloon business. A wealth of opinions from the higher courts of many states and of the United States Supreme court bearing on these contentions was quoted in the decision. ' Some of the decisions, quoted showed that both federal and state courts had ruled that no form of gambling, such as lotteries, eto., cculd be legalized, since they are a peril to the welfare of society. In this connection Judge Artman pointed out many of the same courts had held that the sale of in toxicants was a menace to the wel fare of the community, and held therefore that if it was right to de clare gambling onlawfal it also was right to declare liquor selling unlaw ful. IS MENANCE TO SOCIETY "Can the legislature," his decision says, "legalize the destruction of the publio health, the public morals, and the public safeyT Can the legislature make lawful for a price that which is unlawful because it contravenes the fundmaental prinoiple of govern ment? Surely not. In the absence of a license the polioe power of (he state regards any bosiness, the in herent character, tendency and effect of which is to destroy the publio health, the publio morals, or the publio safety, as immoral and unlaw ful This is what the cases hereto fore cited mean by holding that the right to engage in the fale of intoxi cating liquors is not a common law privilege, inherent in the rights of citizenship. "It is not a right of citizenship he cause, as the casts hold, its existence is detrimental to society and dan gerous to publio and private morals and to the peace and good order of sioctey." AS WELL LEGALIZE CRIME. In summing np, Judge Artman said "In view of these holdings, haned as they certainly are on good reason and sound common sense, it must be held that the state caunot, under the guise of a .license, delegate to the saloon business a legal existence, because to hold that it can is to hold that the state may sell and delegate the right to make widows aud orphaDs, the right to break up homes, the right to create misery aud crime, the right to make murderers, the right to produce idiots and lunatics, the right to fill orphanages, poorhouses, insane asylums, jails and peuiteutiaries, and the right to furnish subjects for the gallows." It goes without saying that this is a most remarkable and far reaching deoision. If it is sustained by the higher courts, it will preseutly be pos possible to eradicate the saloon with out resources to the slower methods of local option and prohibitory legis lation. Moreover, it is difficult to see how the decision can justly fail of oonSrmation in the higher courts, since the Uuited States Supreme Court has already declared that the privilege of selling liquor is not an inherent right of an American citizen. It would seem, therefore, that the only contention remaining to be es tablished is that "the effect of the saloon is to destroy the publio health, the public morals, and the bublic safety" a fact certainly susceptible of proof 1 The Union Signal.
