ALsroNs LIQUOR ORDINANCE.

ALSTONS LIQUOR ORDINANCE.
At the adjourned meeting of the
City Council, Mr.. Aston introduce
ed an ordinance forbidding, as
we understand it, the sale of liquor
on Sunday. If this ordinance en-
braced nothing in it's prohibitory
mandates but the sale of liquors,
The Progress thinks it q bad law.
It must not be lost sight of that
the State statute has nothing of
the moral or religious sentiment
in it's provisions, but was proposed
as a police regulation, and as such
the city must likewise consider it,
if public opinion is expected to in
dorse it. Before the law the ven-
dor of liquors stands in the same
attitude as the grocery and dry
goods merchants All pay q tax
and license on stock and to carry
on business. All stand on the
same legal platform, all have the
same position in the courts.
Therefore why attempt to discrim-
mate with a police regulate on
simply against the liquor dealers?
The Progress is not in favor OF
Mr.. Alston's ordinance, unless he
will make it embrace all that the
State statute does. Having done
this we will support it to the very
best of our ability.
AS matter of fact we believe
that the merchant who will sell q
pair of socks, collar, shirt OF
such things on Sunday-in viola
tson of State LAWS guilty OF 8
graver offense before the moral
bar than the one who sells liquor
Because the latter knows that his
avocation is under the moral ban
and in that sense the former place!
himself above him.
Let Mr.. Aston make it viola
ton of the city ordinance to sci
cigars and all other things that i
is unlawful under the Act of tSS
to do, or let the entire matter fall
But let us have no discrimination
in matters declared to be purely
police regulation.

To the Editor Of the Optic.
SANTA FEE, N. M, March 3rd, 1897.
Governor Thornton's energetic and
righteous action hardly seems to be re.
ceiving the pronounced public support
it deserves from the good citizens OF
this Territory. Certainly it is an es-
tablished fact that only q small, noisy
clique are manifesting sympathy with
the condemned. assassins, but it be-
hooves the well-disposed, who form the
enormous majority of the community,
to make their voice heard against the
evil-doers, liars and s%landerers, and
not to permit the rabid rawlings of a
bad lot to be foisted On the country as
the public opinion Of New Mexico.
