THE TIMES AND THE SUNDAY
LAW.

The Caucasian is pleased to note that
the Shreveport Daily Morning Times is
in favor of the Sunday law. All doubt
as to its stand was cleared by the edit
Orial in its issre-the Sunday Morning
Times of January I. 1903. Indeed, there
should have been no doubt. especially
when it is recalled that the Shreveport
Morning Daily Times was persistent in
its advocacy Of law and order and the
enforcement Of the Sunday law when
Mr.. Lake was chief Of police and Mr..
Holman WAS mayer. 1t is true the
Times has not since then been so ag-
gressiVc nor persistent on the vigorous
enforcement OF the Sunday law, and
therefore, it may be said in all candor
that its recent silence, cOntrasted, in a
retrospective sense. seemed peculiar, at
least TO some people who had anticipate
ed its encouragement Of Mayor Queries
and of Chief Of Police Jones, who have
been striving to enforce the laws in the
spirit and to the letter, as was then sug-
gested and advocated by the Times :;
but we beg pardon. we have depressed
somewhat and as this reticence may be
in line Of policy it would be indicate
to pursue it further, and we drop it
right here We started by saying that
the Caucasian is pleased to greet the
Times as champion of the Sunday law
and congratulate all the advocates of
this law on having so strong an ally as
the Shreveport Times. No doubt the
Journal is on the same line with the
Caucasian-Well, the Caucasian never
straddles or cvadcs an issue, and the
people always know where to find ii and
how it stands. 1t is never on the fence.

sentiment about it. But whatever be the
fate of this ordinance let no man vaunt
its defeat as a black eye to Mayor
Queries; nor let it be couse for re-
joicing ON the part Of the 1aw-breakers.
The sentiment in favor of the enforce
ment of the Sunday law is becoming
intense and its continued defiance viii,
only lead to the most radical measures
for its enforcement. Mayor Queries and
the police: supported by the people, and
the saints and sinners MO favor their
Sunday as a day Of rest, will. exert
greater vigilance and energy in reaching
the law-b breakers. When the great ma
jority speak in thunder tones, there will
be no mistaking where they stand. The
people will stand by Mayor Queries
and the law regardless of any effort to
discredit, him as mayor or to cast po-
litical odiun on him, III a political
sense, OF in partisan factional spirit.
Who of the classes specified in the
ordinance are the complainants and
