. . . some action is being taken by our officers in regard to enforcing the law regulating the sale of intoxicating liquor to minors. Of late, it has become a common spectacle to see boys, barely in their teens seated in Beer Saloons, handling dirty cards and guzzling beer with all the gusto of mature gamblers. Every saloon keeper who derives profit from such a source should receive the severest punishment that the law inflicts.
