Destroyers Of Sunday.

New York's law and order forces
started promptly to inaugurate a de-
cent observance of Sunday ut Coney
Island this year. Naturally there is
sharp protest against drastic regula-
lions and harsh enforcement Of them.
The Sunday question is of interest to
the whole country. and in most Sec
tons it turns upon the claim Of the
few that they have a right to destroy
the Sunday Of the many. The few.
however. are not always the law and
order people.
1t is often said that If put to vote
strict Sunday laws could not be main
tanned. But in New York. where the
people have chance. reckless and
dlsorderly pleasure seekers are held in
check on Sunday. Nearly all the sub
urban communities, some of them
neighbors Of Coney Island and others
ten to twenty miles distant. suppress
Sunday ball playing and beer drink
ing. Each neighbOrhOod looks after
itself. and it may be that the people
would not vote to suppress Mt Coney
Island what they do suppress around
their own homes. BY going too far
Sunday pleasure seekers invite sup
preston Of their pastimes. They are
the real destroyers Of Sunday. Plead,
ers for an open Coney Island claim
that it is the only resort of the poor.
But 1t Is the poor who suffer most
from a wide open Sunday.
