SELLING LIQUOR To BoYs-The Wood
land Mail of yesterday had an article re-
ferring to boys being allowed to frequent
places where liquor is soda matter which
applies equally well to Sacramento. The
Ndl says: We have seen in saloons in
this town mere boys fifteen and sixteen
year of age passing hour after hour at cards
and other games of chance, drinking, etc,
when at their age the time should be passed
with their books, or some other method of
Selt-lmproYement In Colorado
Wyoming, Montana, and several other
States and Territories in which the writer
has been, this point is met by legislative
enactment. saloon-keeper forfeits his
license if he permits minors TO frequent his
place. In those commonwealth a callow
lad shows his face inside of a saloon and
he is Immediately shown the door In the
absence OF such regulation in California
the remedy for this evil rests with the
liquor dealers themselves and we ask of
the salo0n-keepers of Woodland to take
this matter into consideration, and firmly
and politely notify all youthful would-be
customers that their presence is not want
ed The Mail evidently has lost sight of
the section of the Penal Code, which pro-
Vides as follows: Every person who sells
or gives TO another under the age of 16
years, to be by him drank at the time as a
beverage, any intoxicating drink, is guilty
of misdemeanOr, and punishable by a
hne not exceeding 800, or by imprisonment
IN the county jail not exceeding three
months. Nothing in this Act shall be
deemed to apply to parents of such chill
dren, or guardians of their wards, or ply
sicians."
