Continuous Prohibition of the Liquor Traffic
By Editor
An ordinance for the closing of the saloons on Sunday has recently been very strongly advocated and urged in Stockton, Cal., but was defeated by an adverse vote of the city council. The advocates of the measure say that they will make it an issue in the next municipal election. And incidentally it is stated that the leader of the movement is about to take his stand for total prohibition on all days of the week. This is the correct ground to stand on. This paper believes in and advocates the prohibition of the liquor traffic. It is the greatest curse of all the ages. But in order for prohibition to be effectual it must be continuous. It must not be confined to some particular day of the week.
