much earnest interest taken in the ques-
ton Of the Sunday closing of the saloons.
Numerous persons have appealed to the
Board of Fire and Police Commissioners
expressing n desire that they take some
definite action. Yesterday Rev. James Wise
Of ST., Martins Episcopal church wrote a
public letter to the board setting forth
his view. of the matter. He argued for
the benefits OF the movement in all its
phases. Speaking OF his letter he said that
he appreciated the position of the board
i'm this place and its expressed desire to
wait until the board in the big city had
taken some definite action. He said Il was
only natural that the South Omaha board
should hesitate IN the matter. Neverthe-
less. he thought the time and the senu-
inent was ripe for radical move In this
direction. He said he found the greater
part Of the temperate classes enthusiastic
ally in favor of the move II was his belief
that not only should the Sunday closing
be as ordered by the brewers; but that
the board should make the closing doubly
SECURE by putting the order on record
