THE SUNDAY CLOSING MOVEMENT.

We understand there IL u move
ment on foot in this city looking To-
ward the closing of all business
houses on Sunday, except drug
stores. II is desired by the pro-
iectors of this movement that no
business houses except drug stores
be opened during the Sabbath day
There is an ordinance on the books
now which provides for this Sunday
closing business. Section three
article two of Ordinance No. IL
says: "Any person who shall, i'll
this city, keep open for business
his or her place of business at any
time after 10 o'clock a. III. on sun
day except drug stores for the sale
of medicine only. shall be deemed
guilty of a misdemeanor, and ON
conviction thereof, be fined i'll any
sum not less than one nor more
than ten dollars"
Doesn't this cover the matter well
enough: But it should be remem-
bered that during the winter months
some people have nothing to do
and must of necessity, so they I'M
aginc, mcddle.
We understand this movement
originated with the women. We
hope not; but if it did, they must
bear their share of the criticism.
We do not want to he understood as
making war on the women. Not at
all; but if they are going to put
themselves on business level with
the men they must expect TO stand
the shaking up which is liable to
follow: they mrst not expect better
treatment than men when they
minglc with men.
A few weeks ago the mayor was
requested 10 close the hop tea joints
on Sunday This was done, but the
busy-bodies are not yet satisfied
Now they want the bakeries. meat
markets, groceries, oyster parlors,
and in fact everything but drug
shops shut up on Sunday. They
want to make il crime to sell any
thing on Sunday except quinine
and pills.
This thing is being carried too
far. The petition which we under
stand is being circulated should be
laid on the table when il reaches
the council chamber, and we have
faith enough in the city council to
believe it will not do anything det-
rimental to the interests of the
business men of our city.
Take il in the hay season when
hundreds of men are employed i'll
the hay fields and every moment is
prccious-when they work every
day excepting Sunday. These
laborers in the hay fields are COM
PEELED to have supplies, and if they
come TO town during the week, ex-
cept when il rains. they suffer ma
terial lose. So when Sunday comes
they come TO town and lay in their
weeks supplies. Shutup the stores
and sell nothing on Sunday and
they will go somewhere else
where common sense in all things
is used.
The merchants OF Baxter Springs
are compelled to resort to all honor
able means to hold their trade and
certainly selling goods on Sunday
is not dishonorable.
We are sorry there are some peo-
pie in this town who are always
kicking, In this case, however,
they would better quit right where
they are lest the city council repeal
the ordinance now in force. Let
well enough alone.
The city election will be held in
April; not now.
