the Evil Results.
LIQUOR PLENTY ON SUNDAY.
Meeting of the Sacred Heart T. A. &
B. Society TO be Held Tonight.

Providence paper yesterday had the
following in regard 10 "pork pie" licenses
In this town: "rhe Town Council will
soon he called upon To decide the ques
tion OF granting or not granting so-called
victualing house licenses. There are sew
eral of these licenses in force now and
several of them should be revoked.
Perhaps there never was a greater fraud
than these psrmisssons to feed the pub
lie, and, incidentally, to keep open house
when all decent people should be in bed.
Most of the licenses granted to men
who also deal IN liquors are merely
cloaks for midnight aud Sunday grog
selling. 1t is no secret to the
authorities, police and others, that
Sunday liquor selling and drinking
is on The increase. They know as well as
other people that any person, man or
woman, boy or girl, whether drunk or
sober, can buy all the beer or liquor they
choose on Sunday. The open places arc
not far removed from the thickly settled
portions OF the town, they are not on the
outskirts; they are under the very noses
OF the police and other public officials.
Why are they not compelled TO closer
Yes, why? One way TO stop the whole
disgraceful business is 20 refuse TO grant
victualling house licenses t. persons who
shouldn't have them. The members OF
the Town Council know who these per-
sons are and should make their knowledge
OF practical use to the community.
