The Newark Advertiser, commenting
upon an editorial that appeared in the
columns of the Newark Sunday Call in
which the latter paper declares that
amy return to the running of saloons
on the go as you please plan will not
be long tolerated. . but. admits that ..the
outcome of the prtsent saloon agitation
win be law authorizing the sale of liq-
uors during certain hours on Sunday"
has this to say:
'.The Call takes the rational view of
the question and correctly foretells the
compromise that is bound to BIT effected
in a matter that lies between two irrec
oncilable sentiments in the community.
The back room" with its evil influences
must go. On that point there is practi-
cal unanimity of opinion, and at hast
two-thirds of the proprietors of saloons
are heartily in favor of their suppression
every day in the week.
Whether consciously or not, the ex-
else question, as far as it rtlates to Sum
day closing, has been misrepresented to
be an issue between the moral sentiment
of the community and tht saloon-keepers
1t is coolly assumed insconHoversy that
everybody who is not engaged in the
business or who does not belon~ to the
criminal classes gives ardent support to
the new excise law.
There ae good pepole who believe that
assumption to be true and who scout the
idea that there can be any moral senti-
ment on the other side of the question.
They are egregiously mistaken. In the
Mayoralty election campaign in 1879 the
same extravagant claim was made, and
when the city gave a majority of about
three thousand in favor of liberal en-
forcement of the Sunday laws the logic
of the election. according to that claim,
was that the criminal element was in the
large majority in Newark's population
The political revolution in the Legsla-
ture of 1889 and the repeal of the local
option law by mandate of the people
was, by the same token. an evidence of
the preponderance of the criminal ele-
ment in the State.
