Saloons Closed

Dispatches sent from Hot Springs, Ark tell
ing of the fire that swept the city and caused
carnage OF millions of dollars, said that the
mayor had ordered all saloons closed.
If the saloon Is the poor mans club. why
should the mayor have issued such order?
If the Saloon is evidence of personal lib
erty why should the mayor have taken that lib
erty away?
If closing a saloon through authority is max
ing morals through laws why did The mayor
have such authority?
If the saloon is not a dangerous institution,
why should its doors mot remain open9
If Hot Springs crushed by calamity, finds
closing the saloon necessary why should it not
he closed elsewhere all the time?
Lastly IL the saloon make calamity
a greater calamity, why Is 1t not a calamity
within itself?
These are simple questions. and each of them
- easy to answer. In fact, they can be answered
in one statement.

saloons probably would mean riot and footing
