The right OF municipal corporations
OF the states TO forbid the sale of liq-

who is the owner of a saloon and who
had opened Il winerOom for women.
The record shows that he asked for
an injunction 10 restrain the city from
enforcing It's ordinances prohibiting
the maintenance OF such a place for
females, claiming that the law is I'M
constitutional because it discriminates
against women and also because ii de-
prives him of property without due
process OF law. He cOntended that he
had as much right to sell liquor to
women as 10 men and that they have
as much right to drink as men have.
He also referred to the circumstance
that equal suffrage prevails in Colora-
do and argued that since women had
been given the right Of suffrage they
stand on the same footing in all re-
spects with men and hence are emit
tied 10 the pursuit of happiness and

brothers"
The district court upheld thi, con
tention. Lut the finding was overruled
by the state supreme court.
