I saw at a glance that the chap at the wheel also was tight. He, too, got out and, meanclered off. After a while; two other chaps got into the car, carry- ing a carton or two or beer, and the crowd drew away. The beer was none of my affair, I presume. It was purchased le itimately and was as lawful merc andize as if it. had been boots. But the driver} was drunk, and in charge of a car. My ire rose at once at the thought or what might happen before he got home. What might happen to himself or to other people too. He had a silly senseless smirk on his face. I saw him try to spit a; couple of times, and he could not land it past his chin. What would you have done under the circum- stances? Would you have called the police? That was my first impuls’e. too, but I didn’t do it. \Vhy? Well. to be perfectly frank. I suppose it is because I am. a moral coward. And it is because you are a moral coward. and your neighbor likewise and the whole lot of us, that the liquor question is so hard to handle. I guess the fellow got home all right, forI heard of no accidents. Had he got into a mixup and someone been killed. mightn‘t I have been charg- ml with being what they term in legal phraseology, “an accessory bo'l'nl‘tfi‘ the act?”â€"\Viarton £8118.- olian Echo.
