-Ths seizures of eonltrsband liquors recently sffootod off our coasts were satisfactory to all law- abiding persons. Such drunken- ness and loss as these‘ liquors would have caused, has been avoided? The money that would have been paid for them will be expended in the purchase of neces- saries or comforts of life. or in oth- er things of real value. Some of it many be deposited In the banks. now everywhere nearby, nnd be left there for “the rainy day" or to sup- ply the needs of old age.

LONDON. Sept. 19.-——'l‘he 110st- war fashion of platinum jewelry has lcd to the introduction of aub- stitutes. Which unscrupulous jewellers arc selling as the renl thing; and there is a growing demand for u hull hlnrk of th very precious metal ‘to 010w" 1119

Although such subterfuge is not, naturally, adopted by the lllorc rcputubic jewellers. those of lessor standing can resort to it with little fear of detection.

White gold in fact, bears so closc n rcsenlblnllce to platinum that it is not possible for the lzly- mzln easily or certainly to dietin- guish between the two metals.

Tili- tiiffcrcncc in weight would indicate to an expert which was thc rcnl and which was the spur- ions. fmflpintillunl is tlle heaviest of tllc precious lllttuls.

Another satisfactory point to h noted In connection with these liquor seizures is that they prove that some of the officials engaged ‘to control and diminish the Liquor Evil are doing their duty. They are not all winking at violations of the law. They are not all tacitly abetting the boot-leggers and other dealers in doing that which by law is prohibited. Those officials who perform their duty in this regard are the more to be commended he- cause their duty is not a pleasant one. It has been remarked that “duty in what goes most against the grain, because in doing it wc do only what we are strictly obliged to do, and are seldom uluch praised for it." While those officials who fail to do their duty in respect to the illicit liquor traffic are con- tcnlptible. those who, in the face of difficulties, honorably and satisfact- orily perform their duty-deserve

praise, and ought to receive credit ——lt not promotion.

DUI‘

The law in respect to the sale of

lntoxicants has, certainly, been too much honored in the breach. its

enforcement by officials, high and low, has not been in accord with all the demands of duty. Yet. the Liquor Evil, though still with us, is not nearly so great as it was hulf u century ago.
