straddle all questions is what puzzles them.
There is a Sunday closing saloon ordinance
which requires no open doors, front or rear,
from midnight Saturday till ) a. m. Monday
morning. and they must be closed all night
from midnight to 5 a. m. To curry favor
with the saloons and their habitues this
law was nullifed by the president OF the
board giving instructions to the willing mar
shal quietly to allow the ordinance to De
broken in any manner those intereste1
might wish, and there was no Closing so
long az there was chance to sell drink,
either Sundays or nights Then'came the
other side be pacated, and the officials
winked the other eye, and gave it out pub
,licly that the ordinance must be enforced
to the letter, but private orders" were IS
sued to enforce only the Sunday portion
and not to be obtrusively officious in this.
Carrying water, politically, on both shou[
ders is not to be sneezed at even in city
election.
