SALOONS TO BE CLOSED
ALL OF CHRISTMAS DAY
Liquor Dealers Take Stand Unprece-
dented in History of City and
~ Practically all Agree.

Practically every saloon in the city
will be closed all of Christmas Day, a
situation unprecedented in the history
of the city. The members of the Lii
quor Dealers Association made a mo-
ton in this direction several days ago,
and a committee which was named
has been engaged in visiting the pro-
prietors of the thirty-odd emporiums,
and all save two or three acquiesced
in the plan. The chief exceptions, of
course, are the hotels, which must
necessarily remain open in order to
accommodate guests.
The saloon keepers have always OBJ
served the Yuletide holiday in some
degree, that is, by closing for part of
the day, but this time the majority of
them took the stand to shut down for
the entire day. This is a commend
able move on the part of the liquor
dealers, who, it appears, have of late
been active along other lines in mat
ters affecting the liquor traffic AS
means of notifying their customers,
proprietors of the various saloons
have displayed on their bars large
cards bearing the inscription, "This
place will not be open on Christmas
Day" All Of which means that those
who imbibe of liquid cheer must lay in
their stock in advance
