The city authorities will have our
unqualified support in their efforts
10 suppress the blind tigers and any
and all lawlessness in our city. How
ever, We oppose the passage of city
ordinances, which smack of fanaticisn
and which embroil our people in con-
troversy and prevent the very OBJ
jects sought by those who have the
enforcement of the law in charge. We
do not believe 1. wrong no keep open
drug stores, or livery stables on the
Sabbath. Neither do we believe it
wrong to sell a cool drink of
lemonade or a cigar on the Sabbath.
Nor do we see any justice in pre-
venting some poor man, not able to
own a horse and buggy, from hiring
one to drive on the Sabbath while
the man who seeks to enforce such a
raw deal" drives with his family in
contertment throughout the Sabbath
afternoon in his own carriage and
with his own horse. We are also in
clined to think that harmless games
should be allowed our boys and that
the playing of marbles, the oldtime
pastime of the street urchin, should
be allowed to live, at least until we
forget that we were once boys.
