The Sunday amusement bill of the
House came back from the judiciary
committee with two reports. The ma
jority asked that 1t be referred TO the
committee of the whole without rec
concentration. This was signed by
Messrs. Hammond, Murray, Hollen-
beck. Ballinger and Bartels The mi
nority report was lengthy document,
as follows:
"The undersigned members of the
committee on judiciary. to which was
referred Ii. Il. No. 81. n bill for an act
declaring the first day of the week,
commonly called Sunday, legal holi-
day and day of rest. recreation or
amusement. TO repeal all laws In con-
| fiict herewith and providing penalties
for violation of the provisions of this
act beg leave to submit the following
| minority report:
I'VE recommend that further consid-
Grafton of the said bill by the House
be indefinitely postponed. because
"First-It is against the general and
social welfare of the people.
"Second-It would destroy the value
of the Sabbath as day for rest.
''Third-It is against the interests of
the laboring masses of the people,
tending TO ultimately rob them OF their
only day of rest.
"Fourtll-lt would bring day of ex-
cess and exhaustion rather than day
of rest.
''Fifth-The opening of all places of
amusement would ultimately result in
the opening of all work shops and 9th
er avenues of toll and bring all to n
common level of universal profaneness
and continuous toll
"SiXth-lt would be injurious to and
have malignant influence ON society.
"Seventh-lt would encourage and
promote unbridled license and open
wide the gates of immortality.
"Eighth-The result of the holiday
Sunday in other lands has been detri-
mental to the general welfare. the NOR
al and physical condition and prosper
ity of their people.
"Ninth-The physical well-being of
the people of the state justifies the le
gal protection of Il day of rest and
their moral welfare justifies the guard
ing of Il day of rest
"Tenth-Religlon and morality being
indispensable supports of popular gov
ernment. without which the political
institutions of this country can long
be sustained. the abolition of our Sab,
nath would be the beginning of their
decay. Respectfully submitted.
