 Is there any reason why members of the Panama Club should be allow ed to drink whiskey without paying the same revenue 10 the govern ment that other and more law-abid- ing drinkers have to pay?
 If the members of the Panama Club are at liberty to drink in an unlicensed place just because it is called a club" what is to prevent every saloon keeper in the town from organizing his business as a club" initiating a few members. and then sending them out to tout for friends" to come and spend money?

 But if it is illegal to sell liquor without a license on the Row. it must necessarily be illegal to sell liquor without license elsewhere in the city.
