Can the American people be taught to drink Liquor and alcoholic beverages sanely, and not to any excess? Brewers, distillers and wholesalers should be putting more thought to that question, instead of thinking up ways to increase consumption by Offering inducements to persons to open beer parlors. Os course with the tremendous tax thgfr is placed on liquor and beer by* thT various governmental units, an immediate burdensome overhead is placed on the dealers* business. This burdensome overhead causes some retailers and wholesalers to stretch the liquor law to the limit and even break it. But that is not the real issue. For no matter how liberal minded the ( person is, he is not going to toler- < ate conditions in beer and liquor handling as they exist at present. When young girls, 16,years of age ( •nd less are seen on the streets and lying drunk in the gutter of a Syracuse street, as happened Wednesday night last week, it is time something should be done. I Regulation and education will help, but the real issue is up to those who dispense alcoholic bever- i ages. In other words they are “on 1 the spot.” A great many people are 1 ing that the new fashioned beer establishment is worse than the old ’ time saloon. Even those who believe that the purchase of beer and liquor should be permitted, when not drunk to excess, are wondering, if liberalism meaning the right to get drunk, tied to Democratic politics can long exist. 1 HE’S DEAD; AND THAT’S THAT Someone was made happy last Thursday evening. Because the strychnine which he or she put out,: or handed to the editor’s pointer, Four Bucks, was eaten, and after an hour of convulsions, he died. He was taken immediately to a vet, after the editor, who had taken the dog for a walk, first saw him double up, at Butt’s Landing on Front Street. But he died after an hour of agony which, it is too bad, could not be viewed by whoever put out the poison. Four Bucks was a highly bred bird dog, with a line of ancestors. He was born Feb. 10, 1933 and died June 7, 1934. Neighbors near here put up with much, but did not harm the dog. He was quite a pest to Mrs. Wm. Watts, seeming to enjoy running through her flowers and garden. One hot day the week before he died, he appeared over there and she turned the hose on him. But he thought that was fun and stayed for more. He enjoyed swimming as though he were a fish instead of a pointer. Just one week before his death he had trampled flower* in the garden at the home of Dr. and Mrs. C. R. Hoy, when not swimming in the laka th*re; but Mrs. Hoy just put a fence »around tLo flower bed. That same evening, while thought to be seated beside the editor near the benches in front of the Syracuse Auto Sales, in five minutes. Four Bucks dug up the rose bushes that Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Hoopingarner had taken all afternoon to plant. But they said they supposed he was

digging for a cool spot in which to lie. . Storekeepers were annoyed at Bucks because he always followed the editor or wife and scratched screen doors when not admitted. But no one poisoned him. The only screen door he actually went through was the one on the Journal office. It didn’t open as rapidly as he expected when he pushed on it one day, so he just went through the bottom of it. He was hard on clean windows, enjoying putting his nose against them just after Roscoe Howard finish ed washing them. But Roscoe put up with a lot. Perhaps Bucks really did a good turn when he ate the strychnine—if it had been placed for just any pet and not handed to him. Some child might had eaten it. Then there would have been an investigation. As it is, he was only a dog, so there is no need for people to stop planting poison, until some human is killed. But people, if they don’t ; approve of pets, could shoot them ' and save them a lot of agony, in- . stead of sneaking, using poison. Os ■ course, shooting takes courage. Four Bucks* last week of life was i spent chained in the alley near the office, to save property of those who live near the office, except for those times when he trustingly went for a walk or a swim with the . editor. I When the Journal office was moved to its present locaton, Mrs. Eu- ! gene Holloway presented the editor ' and wife with two black cats, Amos and Andy. In a few months, one was missing—either was stolen or died and was never found. The other was poisoned, coming back to the office to die. Earl Menzenberger gave the editor the bird dog when he was a sixwee ks old puppy. Now Four Bucks is gone. The press, fortunately, is fastened to the floor, never goes outdoors, and is not likely to trust a stranger. In spite of the heavy advertising some of the county papers do about their exclusive service, after all, The Syracuse Journal was the only paper with a representative at both Republican and Democratic state conventions, or either one of them. Commenting on the recent birth of quintipulets in. Canada and quad- , rupulets in lowa, Dr. C. R. Hoy ; said" it was just nature compensating birth control practised these days*. i j I TrvmOttrßeaders t s-J7~*V= s ’ To The Journal: What has happened to the Syracuse Band? Syracuse sSould be able to organize a band made up of hotpe talent. New talent is available each year from the High School. There should be no need to go out of town for players. At the present time the band is made up of players from Milford, New Paris, North Webster, Ligonier and Syracuse. The business men and The Chamber of Commerce should see that I they are supporting a Home Town ! Band, a band they could be proud • of, made up of familiar faces.
