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?
