What has been common talk for a long
time has at last reached the ears of the
Good Citizens League. That is, that
Sunday traffic has not been entirely sus-
pended in this city despite the desire of
the Leaguers to have it that way, and
worst of all is the fact that the traffic is of
a most disreputable nature, consisting al
most if not wholly in the sale of intoxi.
cants. The reputable business men, glad
of the chance to have Sunday to them
selves, submitted gracefully, with one or
two exceptions, to the request of the
League. Now the morality of the place
is endangered by an element who are con-
Quoting business that would be illegiti-
mate on their part through the week.
The League has appointed prosecuting
committee and gives warning that all Of
tenders will be given attention promptly
if caught in the act.
But there's the trouble, it seems. The
Excise Board is being censured for the
recent 'speak-easy" outbreak, as it
is claimed the Board is empowered to ap-
point an inspector to seek out and report
all violations of law regulating the sale of
intoxicants. Why don't the licensed men
organize for their own protection2 As
long as the speak easies flourish they get
the credit of being the violators and their
business reputation suffers thereby. Only
a week or so ago licensed dealer was
compelled to issue card over his name
denying charges of selling on Sunday.
