Some prosecutions for violating the Sum- |
day Law in regard to delivering milk. have
Just occurred In Biddeford a. the result Of
the local conflicts in that city. Ii must be
frankly admitted we think that these ar.
rests have resulted from the development |
Of dad blood" and = spirit of getting
even" or of retaliation which is surely not
commendsble. Every good citizen doubt |
less regrets to see 80 much business tran
sacted on Sunday as il the case in most Of
our large cities. We are living in an age,
however, when g system has grown up
which includes street car travel, as well As
several other forms Of traffic which seem
necessary, like the delivery Of bread. milk
and other necessaries. To attack feature
Of the system which may be, In part at
least, . necessity, aad which would so dis
arrange aud interfere with those features
which are public necessity that the effort
to suppress 1t must in the end fail, seems
to be thing that should not be attacked
from any such motive as that which has
been shown to be the case with the farmer
who intends to stop the sale of milk on
Sunday. MIX quickly changes in char
acter In hot weather. all do not have ice,
the health of children often depends upon
its being delivered fresh each day, Sundays
included, and il will be found hard work to
suppress its delivery on that day in our
large cities
