DOES lT CONCERN your

In its news columns this evening
The Optic calls attention to a condi-
ton Of afiairs ii our community which
should bring the blush Of shame to all
who have any regard for the good
name OF Las Vegas. The saloons We're
closed on Sunday In this county for
some weeks, sufficiently long TO show
~eonclusiyely that they a be closed.
This enforcement OF the law, for the
first time In fifteen years or more,
which should have called forth a posi-
tive expression of satisfaction and
eeHf4f IA i 444atAipn from lhe people of this
city, wa received with apparent in
difference. Absolutely the only ex'
preston which was made was that OF
/ a protest on the part Of the saloon,
keepers and their friends and the
merchants who had been in the habit
of violating the law as well.
one is Justified In the conclusion
that the sentiment Of this community
u overwhelmingly in favor Of law
breaking and disorder, Of a wide-open
Sunday and of scenes like the one de
scribed in another column.
Our officials will not willingly en-
force a law which Is in no measure
upheld BY the moral sentiment Of the
community affected by 1t.
II the people Of this town have
any interest in this question let them
MAKE 1t known and make 1t felt.
