According to the st. Mary Herald
''the percentage Of crime hasdecreased
nearly SO per cent throughout the
State since the Sunday law was inau-
gnrated." II further says, siberia
parish, 50 we are reliably informed, is
the only one in Southwestern Louisiana
that does not observe it,
The percentage.of crime may posi-
bly, have been decreased, but nnfcr.
tnnately the latter statement in the
above is doubtless q mistaken one.
onr observation has been that the
Sunday law is not regarded in any
town in the State, other than 50 far as
closing the front doors of barroomG
and other houses falling underitspFo.

stands Is an excellent one, and IF rigid
~ enforced would result in much good
