NOTES AND COMMENTS

There seems to have been some
ground for the serious criticism re-
Gently administered by pulpit and Mes
senger regarding the wide open Sunday
saloon in Canon. One saloon keeper has
since been arrested and fined $50 for
violating tie Sunday ordinance.
This is right. So far as Sunday
saloons go Canon will not become
wide open town. These places ought
to be closely watched and the man
who endeavors to do business Sundays
should be pinched and pinched hard.
i. + +
This is not merely sentimental
matter in which only the preachers
and the W. G. T. U. are interested.
The better element of all parties in
Canon City have something at stake.
This is essentially a law abiding COM
munity and the people will not see
their laws trampled under foot by
avaricious swine whose greed for gold
has seered all consciousness of
righteousness, decency and justice.
The better element of this city should
see that the last violation of this
character has occurred without being
followed by speedy punishment.
r + +
The ADMINISTRATION of the city laws
are at the present time in the hands
of those who favor the licensing of
saloons. In fact the enforcement of
the laws against the saloons are in
the hands of the friends of the sa-
looms. But this ought to make no
difference about the strict enforcement
of the Sunday ordinance. We were
promised by the saloon party that
strict laws would be enacted and en-
forced to restrict the liquor traffic.
The people expect this promise to be
kept. at Ine prtstHt tiHit DdIt
majority of the voters of Canon may
be in favor of licensing saloons. But
great majority of the people are
most emphatically opposed to the
violation of law and to anything that
might tend toward open saloons Sun
day. Some of the most radical talk
has recently been made against this
Sunday opening business, has been
made by men who voted in favor of
license.
r + r
If the powers in authority desire
the license policy to continue in force
they would do we'll to strictly enforce
the Sunday ordinance. They could
not help the cause of prohibition more
in any other way than to be lax on
this point. 1t is undoubtedly fact

that the Taxpayeri ticket was elected
by church votes. Some of the Tax
payer church people have dim con-

extremes to which they will not go,

the majority of them We're orderly
middle aged people from the hard
working classes of the district. They
were mainly people who could not
afford to take a week day off to enjoy
the ordinary fare of trip out of
town. They were people who see
much of the strenuous life, with few
of its luxuries. They live among
the mountain peaks and see little of
the beauties of nature, fragrant
flowers and the luxurant verdure so
question worth considering, if these
people are not better off to spend their
Sunday in the quiet peaceful influence
of Sunday town like Canon, than
the sin cursed streets of Cripple Greek.

Anyway they will continue to come
