"The position of the Sunday law
men" said a well.known citizen to
the ctrner man, "is neither logi.

following of three thousand. Ad-

population of the city to be $4,000,
then there must be AZ, 900 opposed

would control the big majority,
and make it walk the line it has
chalked for it. 1t is true that it
is a law, but law is not always JUS
tice and the Sunday men admit
that there is no necessity for the
law, as San Antonio is as orderly
and good as any other city where
no such absurd and tyrannous laws
are inflicted upon the people. If
there was any reason for enforcing
the Sunday law the twenty-five
might be excused for their actions
but they admit there is none, and
per Sc their action must be capt
ious and persecutive. Then again
the movement is headed by stran
