PASADENA, Feb. 3.-The liquor situs.
ton is much discussed matter, aud
is in a decidedly unsettled condition.
As is known Pasadena is at present run
on liberal prohibition plan. That is,
saloons are prohibited, but restaurants
and hotela are permitted to serve wins
and beer with meals at certain hours in
the day, IL 80 to | 80 p. ~, and 5 80 to
7 80 p. m. This plan was settled on ga
a sort OF oomprom mise between the prohi-
bitioniats and the high license men, and
has worked fairly well for the past three
years. OF late, however, thers has been
much discrimination in many quarters
over the way the law was evaded.
Thrse of the restaurant men have been
arrested upon evidence worked up by
outside parties, two of whom were con-
viCted and fined heavily. The W. q. T.
u. and the churches have undertaken
to unite in the matter to see the law
enforced. On the other hand the liquor
men are combining to fight the ordl-
nance, which il is claimed is not legal.
Ii the present agitation keeps up, the
council will probably repeal it and
knock out the privilege OF selling with
meals. This would bring the matter to
o climax and the prohibitiopists and
high license men would make q feature
of 1t at the next municipal election.
SILLY HOAX.

ceived by mum Der Of Pasadenans:
