The house has passed a bill to allow counties in which liquor dis pensaries have been set up b\ lo cal legislative acts to vote upon the continuance or suppression of those institutions. The bill is a fair one and n -1 st>res to many counties the right of self-government. These county dispensary acts arc good examples of the evils possible under our sys tem of committing local legislation the general assembly. Some da\ the people are going to become so awfully tired of that system that they will smash it to Hinders. And that day cannot come too soon to benelil the interests of intelligent and moral local home rule. R. S. SEEDS.
