St. Paul Lid.

st. Paul-The enforcement of the
law is a matter of duty which is not
affected by public sentiment either
for or against the law. This is the
position taken by Attorney General
E. T. Young with relation to the en-
forcement of the law requiring saloons
to be closed at II pm. and he so in
formed a committee of St. Paul citi.
Zens who called upon him. The COM
mittee consisted of B. L. Goodkind
L. S. Gushing, c. w. Gordon, Eli S.
Warner, Albert w. Lindeke and Jacob
Dittenhofer.
The members of the committee in
formed Mr.. Young that the sentiment
in St. Paul is against the II o'clock
closing. They believe that closing the
saloons at midnight, as required by
the city ordinance, is favored by a
large majority of the citizens and
would meet all requirements of good
morals and be better from a busin ess
standpoint.
