Ii Is to be hoped that the attempt TO supnress
the violation Of the Sunday liquor law i'm this
District is not one of those periodical move
ments which result in occasional raids on bawflv
houses, gambling houses, and illegal LIQUOR
houses; after which things 20 on in the old way.
Inc war must be unremitting to accomplish
anything. Nothing leads to more breaches of
tne peace than Sunday tippling, as has been
proved In nearly every city in the country In
lineage, for instance, the recent closing of the
saloons on Sunday has resulted just as a similar
embargo on the sale Of LIQUOR did i'm New York.
VIZ rsaneed the number of arrests nearly one
half. From August IL to October 20, 49,. when
the saloons were open, there were arrested Oh
SUNDAY, 40 persons for drunkenness 402 for
being both drunk and disorderly, and for disor-
der ~; total of 1,552. From October ao 70
december 20, the Saloons were shut on SUNDAYS.
anu the total number of arrests fell to s3. OF
these 10 were for drunkenness 2o3 for drunk
enness and disorderiy conduct, and 3iJ for sim
PIE disorder. This diminution was effected
though In some parts Of the city the law was
hot thoroughly enforced. During the perioa
..-st the sa,c-'ns rere open there were several
murders and m1rderous assaults, while during
the time that the saloons were shut only one
murder has occurred. Such facts and figures
speak for themselves.
