Member of the Untted Preas, Pub- Mehed Gaity by The Star Publiah- tag Oo, * On the Saloon From a California subscriber comes an inquiring letter con cerning a series of articles which appeared in The Star dealing of saloons in Sea The inquirer is in doubt with three types attle as to whether ‘The Star was attacking or defending the saloons} particularly, and generally as to the object and purpose of thes¢ articles. The Star was neither attacking nor defending the saloon, On the contrary, The Star was attempting to picture in words as closely as possible the saloon, without prohibition bias or liquor leaning, to show whatever good or evil there may be in it with out exaggeration, favor or malice—in a word, to portray the saloon as it actually exists and operates. That some small measure of success attended The Star's } efforts is made obvious by the protests received from both pro Anti-saloon correspondents assert | hibitionists and saloonmen that the saloon was dealt with too leniently; have more than a drinking interest in saloons aver that they were treated unjustly. that some-| where between the two extremes lies accuracy and fact At the present time, the saloon in Seattle is a legal institu | tion. The Star, as it has frequently in times past, will in the future, as the occasion warrants, protest loudly against the evils which arise therefrom. Whatever The Star's feelings may be in the matter, it is plain that no inconsiderable number of | persons look upon the saloon as a convenience. Until the time when there shall be a greater unanimity of objection to the saloon, the saloon will continue to exist, and as long as it exists must be regulated THE PROPER REGULATION WILL NOT COME FROM PREJUDICE FOR OR AGAINST THE SALOON, BUT FROM A CLEAR, UNBIASED UNDERSTANDING OF FACTS, OF THE PART THE SALOON PLAYS FOR IMAGINARY GOOD OR POSITIVE EVIL IN THE LIVES OF EVERY CLASS OF CITIZEN. If the saloon is ever to be wiped out of existence, it will be by calm, cold logic, an unheated knowledge and an accurate appreciation of intrinsic facts TO PRESENT THESE FACTS WAS THE SOLE OB- JECT OF THE STAR. subscribers who It is reasonable to assume Anyhow, Gov.
