what needed.
"All my unpleasant symptoms, the
heartburn, the inflated feeling which
gave me so much pain disappeared.

The Law and the Saloons

There il a noticeable agitation among the papers of the state con-
corning the Sunday closing law of the saloons. This is certainly a
move in the right direction-to make the saloons obey the law, but if
we make the saloons toe the mark why not make everybody else obey
the law also? The saloons r not the only places of business that
have no right to keep open house on Sunday. Section 1919 pro-
vides for the closing of saloons on Sunday IS well as on election day
and then comes the following section:
"Section $3.50. 1t shall be unlawful for any person OF persons
company @ corporation to keep open any barber shop store, shop or
other place of business for the transaction of business therein, upon
the first day of the week, commonly called Sunday. Provided
this section shall not apply to newspaper printing offices, railroads,
telegraph companies, hotels, restaurants, drug stores, livery stables,
depots, farmers, cattemen and ranchmen, mechanics, furnaces
or shelters, glass works, electric light plants and gas works, the ven
.ders of ice, milk, fresh meat and bread, except as to the sale of liquors
and cigars. Any person, company or corporation who shall violate
the provisions of this section, shall on conviction thereof, be fined in
Il sum of not less than twenty-five dollars, nor more than one hundred
dollars, for each ofense."
The Sun presumes that every town in the state of Wyoming is
much like Saratoga in respect TO the enforcement of the above law.
Some of our stores an open for at least a part of the day on Sunday
and you can step into any hotel, drug store, O r restaurant and buy as
many cigars as you want. Yet, according to the above law it ii not
only unlawful for the saloons to keep open on Sunday but it is just as
much a breech of the law If a merchant opens the doors of his store to
the public on that day, or for a barber shop to keep open i for any
one to sell you a cigar on Sunday. Note the exception at the close
of the provison-"Except as to the sale of liquors and cigarsr'
The Sun thinks the saloons should obey the law and close their
places of business on Sunday, but it does not believe that the saloons
should be singled out and the stores and shops be allowed to go IN I'M
molested. What is fair for the goose is fair for the gander. If
we are going to start out to make any kind of business in the town
live up to the strict letter of the law, let US make them all do it. 1t
will be mighty inconvenient not to be able to get into a store OIL Sun
get used to it, You will have to buy your cigars on Saturday night.
to last you over Sunday, but that is the law.
The Sun wants to see the saloons obey the strict letter of the law,
and close up their places of business on Sunday, and it would be great
.y in their favor if they would take this matter into their own hands
and voluntarily close their houses at midnight Saturday until mid
night Sunday. But if you are going TO start out to enforce the law
enforce it all along the iDe-don't make an exception of the saloons
and let every other business go on breaking the law alb lbitum.

The above ticket is not a temperance ticket.
1t is not a"W. c. T. U" ticket.
1t is not an "ant-saloon" ticket.
Iii simply a Citizens Ticket, notwithstanding all that the op-
position may say against it, If elected it will simply enforce the
ordinances it finds on the Town Statutes and endeavor to s. conduct
the affairs of the town that it will meet with the appreciation of every
lew abiding citizen in it. 1t has not been put in the field to put
the saloons out of business" as has been asserted by it's enemies, for
the town officers have nothing to do with the saloons, beyond seeing
that they maintain order on their premises.
The men who have been nominated on the above ticket, if elected
will work to forward the interest of Saratoga in every way in their
power. They will maintain law and order. They have no new
to advance In the government of the town. They ire all
