about the strict enforcement of the Sunday laws. Various ministers ot the city are said to have made per sonal investigations and found sa- looms were operating on Sunday, notwithstanding the efforts of the police and county authorities to close them. The pastors have per sonally requested Sheriff Philpot and other county authorities to close the saloons and other business houses on the Sabbath day, and a letter has been addressed to Mayor W. l.. Toney, urging him to strictly enforce the Sunday laws. The min- isters declare that all soda fountains should be closed on the Sabbath day; that no Sunday baseball should be tolerated, and that arrests should be made in every instance where vlo- lations of the Sunday laws are found. They object seriously to the operation of a merry-go-around and a shooting gallery at Forest Park.
