place, but no provision Is made TO
the revocation OF the licenses in cas-
OF the open saloons on the Sabbath
and il is this breach that Mr. Curti
will now endeavor to 6ll up.
Presumably such an ordinance viii
meet with favor among the othel
councilmen, providing Il be a com
prehensive one. II the ordinance i.
made to compel revocation only
on conviction in police court il might
possibly be of little use, and might
even be harmful. The charter in III,
four cases cited above provides for
the revocation in case Of conviction
in police court or circuit court, and il
would seem as If the proposed new
ordinance would be best il made the
same. AT present the police ignore
the laws in relation to the saloons.
If the city Sunday closing law was
made much more severe by adding a
revocation clause the police might
then be even more reluctant to make
arrests, because then the punishment
would be 50 much the greater on the
saloon men--thus putting a premium
on the shuttleeock game that has al
ready obtained between the police
and sheriff's Office. But of course if
the revocation clause is made opera
tive in case OF conviction in either
court, the sympathies Of either de-
partment could not be so easily play
ed upon, perhaps.
No leading citizen appeared before
the grand jury in direct relation to
the saloons, according to the state
ments of those who ought to know.
A certain package was left for safe
keeping in one of the banks, and
probably testimony was given to
trace and identify this package, but
only the grand jury and those who
left it in the bank know what it con-
tained. 1t is just such domineering
talk that has raised the temper of
The people to its present pitch. A
.ew Of the saloon men in a certain
'art Of the city don't seem to realize
hat the time has gone by in Astoria
when their threats and villifcation
will be stood for, and it is just such |
