Why Not Have a Saloon?

There is considerable quiet agitation
going on in this city over the prospects
of having a mulct saloon in Leon.
Many good prohibitionists have recent
ly expressed themselves as strongly in
favor Of mulct petition being circulated
and mulct saloon being allowed in
Leon, believing that it would result in
better enforcement of the liquor laws.
There is at the present time joint or
saloon openly run in this city, under
protection of the city council who for
paltry $25 per month have licensed
hop ale joint to run in open violation of
the laws OF the state, the proprietor Of
which less than six months ago plead
guilty and paid a fine in the district
court for selling liquor contrary to law.
Then too the enormous quantity of
liquor which is shipped in by express
and railroad companies is attracting
attention, Leon being one of the best
places in the state for travelling liquor
statesmen TO ply their vocation, to say
HoluiuS aDouI lile many pootleSSelS
who sell liquor, and it is we'll known
that these yiolators Of law do not
hesitate to sell liquor to young boys
and habitual drunkards. If a mulct
saloon was allowed the city would
receive something near $500 revenue
per year, and the business would be
conducted under the strict provisions of
the mulct law, as any violator is subject
to heavy penalties. AS long as liquor is
made it will be drank, and why not
have the revenue. There has been q
great change in public sentiment in this
) matter, and we believe mulct saloon
} would be great improvement ovel
