In Appeal to Mothers and Fathers.

THE SALOON KEEPERS AND LIQUOR
i dealers of Sacramento, not satisfied with
running our boys and decoying iato paths of
sin and shame our daughters by their ''ladies'
t?) entrances have brought to bear their in
fiuence against one of our faithful co-workers,
Z. M. Leitch (truckman}, whose only offense is
his active efforts to suppress gambling and other
vices in our midst A petition has been pre-
sented by the liquor interests asking for the
discharge of Mr.. Leiteh from the employ of the
Sacramento FIGURING Mills {elso known as the
McCrearys Mills as drayman, because of his
participation in the reform measures indicated.
Yielding to this arrogant demand. Mr.. Leitch
has BEEN dismissed from the employ of the
above-named firm and man favorable to the
saloon put in his place.
Shall we, without protest. submit to the
power of the dive, the saloon and the not less
dangerous corner grocery, whose aim has been
to debauch our homes to control our politics
and now seeks to drive American citizens from
honest and honorable employments?
II we submit to this, the end is not yet. Let
US say to Mr.. McCreary and his grocery-saloon
friends: Make your -four, and employ whom
you will to haul it, but it shall not come into
our homes nor will we patronize those that
deal it. Signed
