must go?"
The speaker then related several in
stances of crimes committed by drunken
fathers, and said the liquor dealers had
their arms in crime up to their elbows.
They were responsible for the drunken acts
of those to whom they sold the POISON.
He again referred to Clunie Opera House
secret session of saloon keepers, denouncino
it as conspiracy to buy bummers' votes
and provide means
TO FRAUDULENTLY
Carry the election against high license. He
said he did not believe in licensing the
selling of liquor at all. 1t legalizes and
throws sanction of the law around the
crime. The city and State becomes a
partner in the business. He said Jerry
Paine would be justified in hanging either
OF the following signs out in front of his
saloon Jerry Paine Il the City of Sacra-
mento;" Jerry Paine IL the State of Cali
fcrnia." That licensing the liquor traffic
is in the interest of revenue is all a delu-
sion. As matter of fact, it does not paw.
Its only known result is the debauching OF
young men, the ruination of happy homes.
Suppose the $50 saloons in this town should
pay $50 per month. That would not paw
one half which they cost in crime
and poverty. Licensing the business makes
it look more respectable, makes it more
alluring and allows them to refer to it as
legitimate business. However, we have
license laws, therefore we must enforce
them. They were rebels who put it to
vote in the secret meeting at the Clunie
Opera House the other night, whether
they should
KEEP OR BREAK THE LAW
On election day. Some say of two evils

choose neither. / shall vote for high
license, for it has a prohibitory
element about it. We don't expect
1t to close up all the saloons right away.
1t IS claimed it will close a portion of them.
Ii that IS the case it is very desirable A
half loaf is better than none Partial
prohibition is better than none. In Omaha
the license was put at $500 month and it
prohibited. A little bird on the house top
heard the liquor dealers in secret council
say, Poor Sacramento, there will only be
90 saloons left. Hard times must surely
follow" Close up all saloons in Sacra-
mento for two weeks and there will be
such revival in business as Sacramento
has not had for years. Hard times what
makes them but their nefarious business :?
he said they reminded him of the boy
who
MURDERED HIS FATHER AND MOTHER
For their money After he was convicted,
the Judge asked him. before passing SEN
tence, if he had anything to say. 4" Yes,
your Honor" he replied ~ wish YOU
would bear in mind that l am poor
orphan"
The speaker then referred to the good re-
suits attending the passage of high license
ordinances at Los Angeles and elsewhere.
He referred to the action of Pope Leo Kill,
Bishop Riordan and the Catholic clergy.
They say to their congregations " Keep
out of the liquor traffic." Horace Greeley
was once asked for a recipe for making
good coffee. He gave it as follows: Go to
the cheap restaurants and find out how
they make it, and then make it the other
way. Show me what the saloon keepers
don't want, and that is what want. They
see the handwriting on the wall; they
know their doom is sealed they know
that public sentiment and public feeling is
against them. They are parasites in the
bodies of the body polite. Let them know
how bread tastes that is honestly earned.
Let them go to dirt hauling as their
President says they Will have to do. Bet
ter men than they are daily engaged in the
more honorable employment of hauling
dirt.
