AN ANCIENT ACT
IDAHO ENACTED STRIN-
GENT LAWS YEARS AGO
Sunday Closing Was Made Compul-
sorry in the Territory in 1S7S-Law
Was More Stringent Than the Pres
ent Sunday Closing Ordinance of
Boise City.

The agitation in Boise over Sunday
closing has brought out the statement
that such change was an entirely
new thing in this part of the state,
and, moreover, that at no time had
an attempt at Sunday closing been
made during the history of the city,
says the Boise Statesman
This claim has been disproved. The
legislature of the territory of Idaho,
at the seventh session, passed a far
more stringent Sunday closing act
than the existing Boise ordinance. 1t
was a special law, enacted for Ada
county alone, and more particularly
for Boise 1t was approved January s,
1873, Jackson day.
Mayor Hawley was chief clerk of
the house in that session and clearly
recalls the passage of the law al
though he admits his mind is some
what hazy as to the manner of its
enforcement He is inclined to the
belief that it was more honored in the
breach than in the observance. Yet,
it was the law and so far as known.
was not repealed until the statutes
were revised in 1878. Mayor Hawley
points with pride to the fact that the
law was enacted by a legislature that
was so completely democratic that
even republican spectators were not
allowed to even view the building
where the sessions were held until
nightfall.
Some OF Laws Provisions.
The act was put on the statute boks
Ito provide for the better observance
of the Sabbath" Some of its more
important sections are herewith repro
duced. They reveal purpose to close
everything in Boise, excepting drug
stores. They follow:
Section l. No merchant, shop
keeper, or other persons, except apoth-
ecaries and druggists, shall keep open

on the subject Of tho public finances as
In dcplorable condition from their point

sion over the fiscal departments OF the

hard on the record or the Democratic

and cited from statistics the declining

was the friend and founder of the free

the enemy of the system as manifested
by their bad condition after years OF

same to the Improvement In the public

Mr. W. L. Bib. county Democratic
chairman, introduced Judge Sims, who

lr this campaign. Judge Sims declared:
a revolution has been effected In tho
government of Virginia. A. peaceful! rev.,
as momcntous results and possibilities as
any which history records, though won
by the shedding Of blood.
We have reached new turning point
in the progress of good government In
Virginia We hace clothed ourselves with
n new constitution do not claim for 1t
perfection. All that is made by man has
in 1t measure Of mperfection. But our
Republican friends do not object to the
new constitution, because Of It's imperfcc-
lions. Indeed, they commend Its results,
hut take Issue in their platform only,
The truth IS that one new constitution
was the result OF peaceful revolution
in Virginia. and It's proclamation Is justi-
fed BY the fundamental principle, upon
which Eli free government rests by the
assent to and asquiescence of free peo-
ple.'
Judge Sims entered into o. detailed ex-
animation Of the Republican platform.
showing that its one Distinctive Issue OF
free books Is a Wcakl1ng as n deliVerance
Of a supposed great party, and the putting
such a scheme in practice would be q
