ANEW PAPER
The first number of the Anti-Saleon
League Standard has made it's appear
ance, and as the name implies it will be
the relentless foe of the baneful traffic
which threatens to invade Pasadena, as
well as all other local option communi-
ties, through the operation of the pro
posed state license law. The Standard
Is bright little paper, and under th.
energetic management of that veteran
temperance advocate, DR.. H. A. Reid,
will no doubt be able to accomplish
much In the way Of educating people UP
to proper understanding of the unmiti-
gated evil which liquor saloons work in
any community that tolerates them. But
az for being able to prevent the passage
of the general saloon license law which
the liquor dealers have decreed shall
ornament California's statute books,
that's another matter. The genera,
opinion seems to be that the present ier-
islature has shown itself to be Composed
of just such material as the saloon ele-
ment delight in, and the edfct Of the
liquor dealers will be promptly obeyed
