Noouiber SO, lOOS, The city attorney in his written opinion has put it up to the coun cil to either grant or deny a license to sell intoxicating liquors in St. Johns. The city council will alone be responsible for the evils which may follow the restoration of the saloon, because they have the pow er in their own hands to keep it out. It is a fearful responsibility to assume. 1 hey are all perfectly aware of what those evils are, the suffering of the little children by the poverty stricken, rum-crazed parents, the wives beaten by bru tal, drunken husbands, murder, arson, all the crimes of the deca logue are the direct consequences of the saloon, everybody will con cede this. It is then directly up to the city council to say whether or t ot they will bring these evils upon St. Johns, Can they afford to assume the responsibility? 1 1 A trip Sunday over on Alborta street showed a wonderful growth of tho city In that vicinity within tho past year or two, Wholo blocks havo boon built up in that tlmo. On sev eral of the streots will be seen a string of houses costing from $2000 to 350O that look as though they wero Just from tho builders' hands and all of them filled with contented busy people.
