Law Officers Aroused.
The juvenile court officers have at
last awakened 60 The fact that there
are more girls and women ruined, more
boys and young men led astray through
the indiscriminate sale OF liquors at the
yesorts in and adjacent to Salt Lake
;han through any other agency,
hence most vigorous crusade is to be
inaugurated.
1t will be remembered that story
was printed in these columns more
than year ago when it was shown
hv interviews with eighteen girls, then
inmates of the state industrial school
~ Ogden that their downfall was di
rcctly due 10 the fact that they had
been piled with liquor at summer re
sort and their betrayal followed.
Ia the case at SaItair Beach it is
shown by the complaints issued that
children have DO difficulty in obtain.

AS Run in Past
Heretofore it is said that the license
issued TO Saltar Beach was not like
other liquor licenses in that the board
Of commissioners of Salt Lake county
violated the law by permitting the
management TO pay license Of so
much per day instead OF compelling
them to pay the license by the quarter
as others do and are compelled to- In

gins on May 80. This is in the second
quarter of the year. II closes On La

Ter of the year, so that instead Of pay.
ing as other saloon men have TO 10
the Saltalr management has, il is said,
only beer paying a three months il
cense. This, no doubt, is due to the
fact that one of the Saltair Beach
management is Joseph Nelson, son-in-
law OF Joseph r. Smith. president Of
the Mormon church, and the county
officials of Salt Lake county kow tow
always 10 the church influence.
