of home rule FOR this city settled down 10 one o.
granting greater freedom in The sale ~ hquor Ahu
omen saloons on SUNDAY. This was opposed by an
upstate leaders ANA was not strongly uTgeu 10y
NeV--York It Was finally decided not 10 give a
law that would bring about so styled Cont
mental sunday" on the other hand. some oi me
more pouerfal leaders are urging that the poor
man has just az much right 20 get ms glass OF peer
on Sunday ns the rich man has 20 60 10 MS clu'
or a big hotel and get liquor. As a result IL Is
being urged that a law bc enacted winch VI" Ieriili'
any one who operates restaurant Win Ai'I-.,
tables and proper equipment, 10 sen lis1oi O'' Gun

and for the rest OF the year they are made 10 ear
what IS possible from immoral use.
