OMAHA. Feb. 1S.-To the Editor Of The
Bee: The supporters of the blue acts have
defeated by a margin OF four votes the
bill to permit Sunday theaters and base
ball. This is a victory for the staunch
blues. but does one victory end a war? 1t
seems TO me that the campaign is but OPP
ened. and that the action of the senate has
simply put the issue for the time clearly
before the public. The question now goes
to the people, and who can doubt what the
peoples answer will be? Outside of Blue
Bonnet circles, is there anyone who be-
lieves that the people give any support to
this demand for a blue Sunday The peo-
pie have had little to say on the subject
thus far; they have been unorgauized and
without leaders; they have until now
trusted that these laws would not be en-
forced; but the senate's eighteen yeas TO
eyes. The closing of the saloons on Sunday
was well enough, but in taking up this the
alter and base ball question the blue-apron
statesmen have gone a step too far. The
sentiment OF this community does not sup
port them. II only remains for the advo-
Gates of common~sensibleness ito call upon
all right-thinking citizens 10 assist In an
effort to have the laws repealed. by sup
porting and voting for such candidates as
would pledge themselves TO vote for their
