The Official Order

The following order was sent to all the saloonkeepers of Nome:
 "You are hereby notified that after Janu- ary l, 1914, all saloons within the Second division of Alaska must close on Sundays (that is, from midnight Saturday night to midnight Sunday night of each week., in accordance with Section 2021, compiled laws of the Territory of Alaska. l trust that l shall receive your earnest support and CO., operation in the observance and enforce ment of this law, and 1 would suggest, as an evidence thereof that you leave the blinds down on Sundays so that the pass ing public can have an unobstructed view into your place of business and know that you are faithfully observing the above stat ute, Very truly yours,
 F. Nj SAXTON,
 United States Attorney" "The above notice has my approval, and it's enforcement will receive my hearty sup port and cooperation.

Nome, Dec 22.-This city has been treated to a sensation from the effects ot which its inhabitants are still gasping, in the shape of an order from District Attorney F. M. Saxton, backed up by the in dorsement of Judge J. R. Tucker, that on and after January all saloons, pool and billiard halls shall close on Sundays.
 The order arose out of incidents con- nected with "Roof Garden" carnival which was to have been given on the evening ot December 20, and to certain features of which Judge Tucker objected.
 At a meeting of the carnival committee held on December 2l Judge Tucker handed in his resignation as 8 member, explaining that he deemed such course advisable ow- ing to the question of the legality of certain proposed features of the carnival. The res ignation was accepted by the chairman.
 Me Too" Jordan
 Thereupon Marshal Jordan also handed in his resignation, which was also accepted. These proceedings acted like wet blanket on the meeting, and Dr. Sloan moved that the committee tender its resignation as whole and adjourn sine die. The motion was carried unanimously.
 Mir. Saxton has publicly assumed und- vided responsibility for his action. This declar ation was called forth by the fact that different stories had been circulated as to who was responsible for the proper enforce ment of the Sunday closing law and also for he decision that the selling of beer etc, at the carnival, being illegal, would not be rermltted.
 "A committee" said the district attorney, consisting of Dr. Mustard, its chairman, 0. D. Cochrane and Judge Tucker saw me. Mir. ochran, one of Nome's oldest and ablest lawyers, told me that there was no question as to the illegality of selling liquor in booths at the fair, and no question as to my sworn !uty in the matter. The only member of he committee who seemed perturbed was Dr. Mustard

PUTTING ON THE LID
 IN NOME COUNTRY

effects are distinctly evil, and its evil effects have been made still more evil by the evil influence that many saloonkeepers the coun- try over acquire over the constant habitues who infest them. But we are quite impar- tial in the matter, for we would not protest even if every church was closed tomorrow, and we are far from ignoring the fact that men can become drunk from religious fanat- icism just as they can become intoxicated by more artificial means, and not always has humanity been bettered by the undue influence of the preacher over the members of his congregation But between the two we may surprise some in saying we unhesi- tatingly prefer the influence of the church i; we patronize neither the one nor the other today although having had an intimate ac- ouaintance in days gone by with both. This order, therefore, we take it, will also be issued to all vacations covered by the statute in the fullness of time, else there would be no earthly reason for en- forcing it against the saloons, which have been in Nome as 8 general rule well con- ducted and orderly for many years. The mere fact that an official has a temperance or prohibition bug in his brain is no more reason why he should con6ne the operation of Sunday closing statute to saloons and billiard parlors than it would be justifca- ton for the editor of newspaper turning 1t into prohibitionist propaganda sheet, and we suppose the same result would follow in both cases"
