' r,r . It'waa admitted that they had bed souio wine during the day, but whether v they were under its influence at the time of the trouole we are not certain, yet one - .V talc; we are rtertaln of and that is that we . consider ths venders of wlue, especially without a license, culpable before the ' law. for the Ordinance reads: "Sec. Hi. . ' , No person shall manufacture, sell, bar ter, deal out or otherwise dispose of any spirituous, vinous, malt or other intoxl eating liquors, without first obtaining from the City Council of this city, a license li-cense as hereinafter provided." (See context,) Although we are tn favor of everybody complying with the law, yot we are confident con-fident that it would be much better lor the community if tfee sale of wines and liquors were entirely prohibited, oxapt in cases where it Is required for medicinal medic-inal purposes, under extreme penalties. |
