The wedding last night, at the
Cumberland Presbyterian church. Of
Lovic p. Law and Miss Mamie Stowe
was brilliant affair. and was Wit
messed by very large number OF
Ardmore's people
For fully thirty minutes before the
arrival Of the bridal party, the hand
some, appropriately decorated church
edihce was filled 70 its utmost capac-
ity, attesting the popularity OF the
contracting parties.
Promptly AZ s.i5 the organ, under
the guiding touches Of Mrs. F. G..
Barry, pealed forth the beautiful
strains OF the wedding march. to
which Miss Graham sang with her
. characteristic sweetness Of voice.
three stanzas appropriate TO the oc-
casion.
During this time the groom and his
blushing bride entered, attended by
A. L. Gregory and Miss Fannie Law
and r. II. Law and Miss Laura Reed.
They separated az the door, the
groom and his best men marching
up the south and the bride and her
maids the north aisles, bride and
groom meeting in front OF the altar
beneath floral arch bearing the sin
gle word Law, 7 while their attend
ants took position on either side.
Thus arranged, Rev. ". r. Law,
father OF the groom, according to
the ritual Of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, South, proceeded with the
impressive ceremony, after which he
pronounced the benediction that con-
stituted the twain now one.
/ Immediately after the performance
Of the ceremony, accompanied by
number of their intimate friends. Mr..
and Mrs. Law repaired TO their home.
where they were the recipients OF
many warm congratulations and
handsome presents, the latter consti-
tuting list too lengthy for publica-
tion.
Both bride and groom belonging to
Ardmore's elite are too well and fav-
orably known TO require any intro
ductiOn az our hands.
The ARDMoREITE, in common with
their many friends, extends its most
hearty congratulations, and wishes
= them a hlissiul continuation OF
sei h~ppy union throughout a long,

Not only should there be one or more

| The Trae rrimcfpIe OF sunday Laws.

r CThe New York Times, EdtorlaL)
The vigorous Efforts Of the Police Board
to enforce the provisions of the excise
law, which forbids the sale OF intoxicat-
ing liquors en- Sunday by holders OF
saloon licenses, have brought into dis
cussiOn, not only that provision, but all
legislative enactments that relate 10 sun
day Observance. The chief fault with
what are called our Sunday laws IS that
they had their origin in a desire to en-
force religious or moral observance.
rather than 10 protect the rights OF citi-
zcns and the interests Of the community.
The former is not sound basis OF leSis-
laton.
So far as laws relate especially to
Sunday, they should have other than re-
ligious grounds. Not only religious
teachings. but the custom OF centuries
in Christian lands has established the
first day OF the week as a day OF worship
and Of rest, and there Is no need OF ar
gument 10 support OF its maintenance.
Those who desire 10 use IL for worship
are entitled 10 protection from any dis
orders or disturbance that would inter
fere with the fullest enjoyment OF their
right In that respect. Those who desire
70 use it for rest and recreation should
be protected against any coercion of en-
ployers or others to compel them TO
forego that privilege against their will.
How far legislation may be necessary
for these purposes, apart from making
Sunday a dies non in those matters of
business under public control, II is hard
to say, because Sunday laws have here
tofore had for their main purpose a COM
pulsOry observance OF the day as sacred.
a kind OF observance that cannot be COM
PEELED, and IS not proper subject Of legis-
latiOn.
Interference with business on Sunday
should be for the protection OF those
who desire freedom from labor, and not
for the oppression Of those who minister
to the convenience and comfort Of the
community in matters that are essential
even on a day OF general rest.
The liQuor-selling question does not
sand on the same footing as the ques-
ton OF other occupations any more on
Sunday than on other days. During tho
week il IL under regulation and restric-
ton in the interests OF good order and
the protection OF society against the
evils which II promotes. There may be
reasons for greater restriction on Sun
day. on account OF the idleness Of the
people. and the greater liability 10 *
cesses and disorder. In making laws re-
lating 70 the subject the true purpose
and scope OF legislation should not be
lost sight Of 1t is not 10 coerce any
body into a religious observance, but 10
protect all in their reasonable rights and
liberties as citizens. and TO protect So
ciety against evils injurious to the gene
raj body OF citizens

As rule. oar state Democratic ex-

addressing ourselves to the work OF elect

AS the incoming Legislature VIII have

except those Of basement or Capitol Of

Constitution by convention or otherwise,
reducing criminal expenses, simplifying
the system of procedure in criminal cases.
