- The Red Wing Argus speaking of the
Sunday law, says:
If il is attempted to close all the beer-sell-
ing establishments in the city on Sundays,

beer-drinkers, mostly business men or me-
chanies, and not churchmen, consider that
Sunday is the the only day in which they
have leisure and can have pleasure. and that
the day would be dull one indeed if they
could not have their beer. They look upon
the Sunday laws consequently as an infringe
ment upon their rightful liberty. and will
not submit to them if they can help them
selves.
This is damaging admission. Our Ger
man citizens and others here who use beer.
are ready to respect and obey the law.
