Denver Protects ParochiaI School,
In the decision of the commissioners
not to grant saloon license to man
who was preparing to open bar-room
less than 200 feet from st. Patrick
parish school, a precedent is set that
is a signal victory for the parochial
school system in Denver. Several
weeks ago, the Rev. David T. O'Dwyer
pastor of st. Patrick's, began strong
fight against the granting of a license
to the saloon, on the grounds that it
would have a bad moral influence on
the youngsters. He argued that the
very existence of the school was jeop-
ardized by the existence of the saloon
so near. The city ordinance prohibit
ing the opening of saloons within 400
feet of schools refers only to public
schools, and for time it was doubtful
if the priest would win his victory.
