BUFFALO, Jan. 30-Bishop Cotton
of the diocese of Buffalo has announced
himself as strongly opposed to the meas
ure now pending at Albany for the
Sunday opening of saloons in New York
city AID Buffalo 1t is the first time
that Bishop Cotton as bishop has felt
called upon TO make statement
through the press on public question.
The statement says in part:
From my standpoint as Catholic
bishop the opening of saloon or place
where drink is sold on any part of Sun
day is Objectionable. 1t is the spirit of
the Catholic church TO keep the Lords
day day for rest :"h spiritual observ-
ance, and anything that would clash
with the religious observance Of the
day is something that the Catholic
church in this country is opposed to.
'There have been in Europe sad re-
suits from the allowing of the sale Of
intoxicants on Sundays 49, namely, 1t
broke in on the religious character Of
the day, and instead OF seeingfSas we
do here in America, quiet, restful and
religious day it takes the character Of
day given up to pleasures of every
kind and which are ofttimes sinful.
I'VE should take warning by them
and not give way to the small minority,
for once our American Sunday is lost
to us we shall never, like them, be able
TO regain II"
