Show ;:. i - Hl" '.J DON'T BE SILLY. l I The going-wrong of a bank employee causes a BKr'l H contemporary to cry out for a raid upon the Tli! H'f saloons and gambling houses. It is a hypocritical Kfvj,i ;ry, for that same contemporary wants the licenses HfsL' paid by those houses to go into the City Treasury. H i For quite forty years it has, while denouncing HjW ' the vices with one hand, held out the other for IW'l ne cen8es K' I. Tne ner day a man was convicted of murder tatyfj n tna Arst degree for the wilfull killing of a man IHf ffPf I for money. The murderer has all his life been HMsri'ti apparently a devout church man. Would it be a BPP'itt g00(1 dea to cry out for ttl0 Polishing o tne HPiffiW churches because the man has all his life been a 8iIi!V liar and hypocrite? m Hif A man was acquitted by a jury at Nephi the m t'V other day who murdered his wife. Would our iJri;Jf contemporary have that verdict put down as a m $&w f precedent to be plead in justification for killing HRj ,' wives generally? There would be just as much Blv'rO' sense as it manifests in denouncing saloons and ly gaming places as having ruined Robertson. He did ffili h nt learn to either drink or gamble in this city, fSilliv! and had there been, no saloons he would have 1 Hjlj 1 1. drank, had there been no gaming houses he would H; f') have started one. No fence can be erected high H:: y't) ., enough to compel men to forego their vices. |
