A SUNDAY SALOON PRODUCT.

I n a BUILDING owned by the mayor
Of salt Lake City and John c.
Lynch. his political partner. a saloon
was open yesterday In unblushing vio-
latlon OF the law. AS the result OF a
quarrel over a dice game and other
matters. in that saloon. one man is
lying dangerously wounded in
hospital. while the man who attacked
him occupies cell In the county jail.
For nearly half an hour the wound
ed man lay on the sidewalk In front Of
the mayors Office. whittier he had
staggered half dead from the saloon.
Blood sDurted from his CHASTITY
wounds. telling in crimson color the
story OF salt Lakes shame
II Mayor Thompson had compelled
Chief Of Police Paul TO enforce the
law against the sale Of intoxicants on
Sunday yesterdays all but fatal brawl
could not have occurred. Mayor
Thompson has the power to stop the
sale OF whisky on the Sabbath. and. as
responsibility goes hand in hand with
power, on his shoulders. In the court
Of public opinion. viii be placed the
blame
But the compact between the Re
publican party and the lawless ele-
ment OF the community must be car
ried out. no matter whose blood Is
shed. no matter whose feelings are
outraged. The saloonkeepers, who in
sist that they are more powerful than
the law; the gamblers, who have open-
" and shamelessly resumed their ne
farious calling, must be protected. Did
they not vote the Republican city
ticket in the last election with that
distinct understanding?
Not since this city assumed the nro-
portions Of a metropolis has there been
such carnival Of vice as has existed
here during the last few months. With
the opening Of the gambling houses
and the Sunday saloons. a gang of
desperate criminals has been operat-
ing in Salt Lake. They are here IN
der the impression that # is a wide
open town." and il is a wide-open"
town, so wide-open to thugs and GRIM
mails that decent men and women will
soon be afraid to venture abroad by
day as well as by night.
Existing conditions may be traced
directly 10 the Sunday saloons and
the gambling houses. Such places
breed crime and criminals as open
cesspools breed disease. Mayor
thompson can wipe them out Of ex-
istence with stroke of his pen.
In the light Of yesterdays expert
ence viii he have the courage to do |
il?
