THE SUNDAY LAW,

For the first time in "a month of Sun
days" the state Sunday law was en-
forced here yesterday. Dallas has had
an admirable Sunday law, and so far as
the HERALD knows but little dissatis
faction was expressed against 1t in sny
quarter. But the county attorney
thought that he WAS compelled to enforce
the state law, and yesterday the city was
sealed up and laid away to rest until II
o'clock midnight Sunday.
This policy of enforcing this state Sun
day law Is questionable at least. II pub
lie sentiment here had demanded such a
step on the part Of the county attorney,
he could not have done otherwise than
to at once respond, but In the absence OF
complaint, except from few, he might
have done as he has done in tie past
allowed the municipal law to control

THERE is a feeling prevalent that
those who have the management of the
projected Dallas d Northwest rail-
road are delaying operations too long.
1t was expected that an engineer corps
would have been in the field before this
time. The different towns in the north
west are anxious to secure this road,
and will offer some tempting PROPOSE
tons TO secure it. As an evidence of
this, the Decatur Tribune, in several
paragraphs, says to save Decatur, aid
must be given Dallas to secure the
road. 1t hopes corps Of engineers
will soon be placed ON the line. "Give
us feasible chance for railroad to
Dallas" 1t asks again, will the people
of Dallas put up money as freely for this
railroad as for other loss important en-
terprises to the material prosperity OF
Dallas? Another paragraph is as fol-
lows: "The people OF Wise county can
hardly estimate the value OF railroad
from Dallas to Decatur. Competition il
the only solution to the problem OF the
carrying business. A new road from
here to Dallas will compete with the
road to the Fort and the saving in
freights alone to the people OF Wise
county win be thousands Of dollars
each year. Recognizing this fact, the
people of Wise county VIII give the
Dallas outlet all the encouragemon
possible" All this goes to show tina
the officers of the Northwest railroad
should not be sitting idly by when the
harvest is ripe, and when material ait
awaits their efforts.
