New York to Have a Dry
Sunday

According to statement in the Chicago
Tribune of March 80 Mayor Gaynor of
that city has determined to close the
saloon in the chief metropolis OF this
country on the Lords day. In letter
to VIM. H. Baker, Commissioner of the
Police, the Mayor outlined his plan as fol
lows: After telling how the present law
leads to all kinds of graft and eXtortion,
he goes on to say that the provisions OF the
LIQUOR tax law are carefully drawn to pre-
vent all this and they have been followed
all over the state outside Of this city, re-
sulting in the reduction of extortion to the
minimum, and safe, orderly and effective
administration of the liquor tax law 1t
is now time we enforce the law as well as
or even better than it is enforced through
out the rest of the state Here the mayor
quotes a provision of the law prohibiting
bar screens, and suggests his remedy as
follows: "Let every policeman inspect
every bar-room from the outside continu
ally during prohibitive hours to see that
this provision Of the law is complied with
to the letter The captains and inspectors
must make similar inspection and see
that the patrolmen do their duty. Let any
neglect of duty on this point by patrolman,
captain, Inspector or other be cause for
DISMISSAL The Mayors next direction
is to let the state excise officers, separate
and apart from the local police, obtain
the necessary evidence, which shall be sub
mitted to the District Attorney. Evidently
the Mayor of New York believes that
patrolmen who do not go into the saloons
are better guardians than those who spend
most of their time in those places. Ii New
York can get along with a closed Sunday
saloon the city of Chicago will soon be do
ing the same thing.
