It is much to be hoped, as indicated In

would inform the enemy of the condi-

Sunday Observance Laws.

In Yesterdays Times Dispatch reference
was made to a law in North Carollna
which prohibits fishing on Sunday. There
ss a similar statute in New York which
provides that .n'al shooting, hunting
fishing, playing horse racing, gaming
,pr other public sports, exercises or
shows ON the first day OF the week ana
NIL noise disturbing the peace OF the
day are prohibited"
Under this statute certain baseball
nlaycrs in the city of Brooklyn were re-
Gently arrested and the case came Tor
trial before Justice Gaynor. who dis
missed II and delivered a lecture on
Sunday observance laws In general.
Justice Gaynor took occasion to- remind
the prosecutors that by repeated deci-
sions Sunday recreation was not a crime
unless it interrupted the repose and rell-
Eious liberty Of the community. Many
neople make mistake just here IN their
Interpretation CT Sunday observance laws.
lThese laws are neither enacted nor en-
l1orced as religious observances, for the
government IS not disposed TO Interfere
Il
srensons Sunday has been set apart as q
DAY Of rest and persons arc prohibited
INV law from doing those things which
tend TO disturb the repose of the day,
as, of course. they are prohibited from
doing anything that tends to disturb re-
sicious worship. The government does
not deal with sin as such, What may
uIpf from
religious point OF View may be
entirely innocent from the govern
ments point Of view. and that Is
point which Judge Gaynor has empha-
sized Further discoursng on the sub
feet he says that II Sunday baseball is
an offense, 1t is an onense of minor de-
gree which should be left for redress
to the coming forward of private ac.
cusers before the magistrates or other
authorities, as our laws and the proce-
dure of our court contemplate" and
not meddled with by constables or police
men," and he says further;
