SELLING LIQUOR TO MINORS

Lehl, Utah, Dec, 2Sth, 1899.
To the Editor
Dear Sir.-Referring to an editorial
In the News Of Dec 9Th entitled
liquor selling TO minors, | beg TO ask
you to read subdivision a. Of sec. 206.
relative to powers OF city councils.
which gives the city council power 10
punish, prohibit the selling or giving
away OF any intoxicating, malt, vinOus,
mixed or fermented liquors TO any
minor insane or idi0tlc person. etc. In
the light Of this do you not think that
city council could enact and enforce
law prohibiting saloon keepers. from
selling liquors to minors, to be drunk on
the premises with or without permit
from Their parents. BY answering the
above you viii greatly oblge
A READER.
In reply TO the foregoing, we would
refer our correspondent to the article
which appears TO have caused his in
curry In the light Of the following
quotation from 1t, We ask him whether
his question is really necessary:
There Is another provision of law on
THIS point that should be considered. II
~ mat Every person who sells or
gives 10 another under the age OF six
teen years, TO be by him drank az the
ume as a beverage, any intoxicating
drink, is guilty Of a mlsdemeanor and
punishable by fine not exceeding one
hundred dollars or by Imprisonment in
the county jail not exceeding three
months. See Section 4245. This. how
ever does not apply % parents or
guardians or physicians Of such minors.
II anything further is required on our
part we viii say that in our opinion.
under the section already quoted, and
mat referred to by "A Reader"
city council can both enact and en-
force an ordinance such as that which
seems to be necessary, in places where
parents are in the habit Of giving per-
mi's to minors to frequent saloons or
places where liquors are sold. We think
such practice ought 70 be stopped. and
mat there is ample power In the law TO
stop It. The article in our daily issue
'i Dec. 9th had special reference to a
particular city, with the ordinances OF
which We were not familiar. What the
authorities Of that city could or could
Dot do in reference TO this matter, de.
Ponds upon the ordinances Of that city.
On general principles, we gave our
opinion as We do now. We presume that
he views Of our correspondent are
similar to our own, and have no doubt
hat they are correct.

The year that has Just been closed

assurance on the strength Of which
faith rests secure that God omnlpolcnt
