"What do you think of the proposed
Sunday law asked Around About of
prominent citizen this morning.
''Well, now, before [ say anything L
want to warn you first not to use my
name. While am law abiding man
| am unalterably opposed to the abrO-
cation of the peoples rights: l think
| there should only be few laws that
| would take away the rights of men, and
[ certainly am opposed to the proposed
Sunday law All people cannot believe
| alike and while some people think it is
right to do one thing. others think it is
right to do something else. l, for my
part, see no objection in going to ball
game on Sunday afternoon: other peO-
pie like to walk or ride around: others
go to the country and watch the jack
rabbits chase themselves: others still,
and they are numerous, enjoy them
selves at churches, Christian Endeavor
| meetings or at the Y. NJ. @. a. L be
| lieve that each should be allowed to act
as he best enjoys himself and if he

not believe the proposed Sunday bill
will ever become law"
There was a Iull in the proceedings
of the county court, new jury had just

wrapped in his ermine chewing the end

aiming the OutsideS of worn out law
books, or looking over the new gaudy
pictures of the court house. AT last
| he stiffness was broken when one of
the learned counsel began to arise from
his seat. He looked at the judge in his
glory and asked: Has the jury been
empanneled on their 'vo,r dire yet?"
The Judge sat a. mum as a mouse and
answered nit. The opposing attorney
jumped into the breach to assist the
Judge and explained: The learned
gentleman means has the jury been
sworn" An elephant could be heard
