All that was lacking in Georgetown yes
terday to transform it into an inhabited
graveyard was an array of whitoned tomb
stones. 1t was Sunday, and the old George
town blue law was in force. 1t was impossi-
BILE to purchase either cigars, tobacco, or ice
cream, and those who sold soda water had to
be very sly about it, The result was that the
young folks and many Of those advanced in
years mado pilgrimages to Washington,
where they could get a cooling glass of soda
or harmless cigar without violating law.
THAT law is simply barbarous" said an
old resident of tho town to REPUBLICAN
reporter. ut is fanatical relic of the
period when tho New England blue laws
were imposed upon people who lived in
deadly fear of the devil and his birthstone.
1t is slavish oppression, and our citizens
are about organizing q movement to ask con-
gross for its immediate repeal"
