Canada's Sunday Law.

The Sunday observance law OF Canada is out
lined in recent article on that subject by an Ottawa
correspondent. One OF its main provisions is that
nothing which, If done. would be a violation of the
Sabbath shall be advertised. This provision of the
law even prohibits the advertising in Canada Of
Sunday baseball Sunday excursions and the like,
which are to take place in States bordering on Can
ada,
The law contains numerous exceptions under the
head of works OF necessity and mercy" and Of
these the work of clergymen, Chorisers, etc, lead
all the rest. Physicians may minister to the sick,
as may nurses and ambulance drivers etc. but
druggists it is held may sell only drugs, medicines
and surgical appliances A Toronto magistrate
recently decided that cigars were drug, and while
the anttobacs hold that they arc even poison
Gus drug, the magistrates decision did not please
the Lords Day Alliance and that organization will
appeal the case to a higher court.
Hotels and restaurants with liquor license may
sell drinks with meals on Sunday, and in many
places has been witnessed the introduction of a
prototype of the Raincs law sandwich, which under
similar laws in New York made possible the shaking
of thirsts on the Sabbath.
But a Vancouver Judge has ruled that sandwich
is not a meal within the meaning OF this law and that
dodge has been outlawed.
The Lords Day Alliance workers are kept pretty
busy seeing that the law is enforced and they even
go so far as to discourage Sunday funerals. The
Lords Day Advocate says on this subject:
Inquiry shows that no troubles have resulted
and the public are not in any way Inconvenience
by preventing funerals on Sunday"
The prime purpose of the Alliance is to make
Sunday in fact well as in name, a day of rest, and
that is the prime purpose of the Sunday law in Nr-
ginia No pretends that our statute is re-
lglous ordinance-an enactment OF the Fourth
Commandment Our statute does not command
men and women to keep holy the Sabbath day.
That is an affair of the church The State does
command, however, that men and women shall
Sunday and that they shall abstain from all
labor, works of necessity and OF charity. The
law enacted in the interest of morals and health
and was made to be enforced

Colonel Massie and cider Bill.

Editor The Richmond Virginian:
Sir: In your issue of February s.
concerning the Byrd liquor law bill
now pending before the House Com
mittee on Counties, Cities and Towns,
yonr reporter says:
''Dr. Cannon called attention to the
fact that Colonel Massie voted in 1908
for the very provision concerning
cider, which was now proposed, and
that he now appeared as the attorney
for the cider factories against the

This Is inaccurate. as l did not APP
ear as attorney for anyone, but as
citizen In behalf OF what / believe

EFFECT OF LOCAL OPTION
UPON BUSINESS IN LYNCHBURG

Of Delegates Mr.. Byrd declared that
he had conferred with both parties
that the bill was chiefly codifica-
ton of existing statutes, and that its
new features were acceptable to, or
had been accepted by, all parties. My
opening statement to the committee
yesterday was that. in view of this
fact. / did not concern myself about
the details Of the bill. but voted for 1t
without question. Your reporter took
no notice of this statement, and there
by gave Or. Cannon the opportunity
of which he availed himself to rep
resent rle as occupying inconsistent
attitudes. But even If this were true,
/ would prefer to be inconsistent
rather Than to persist in a course
which phad found to be wrong. My
convictions are clear that the Anti Sa-
loon League will never be satisfied
with anything short of absolute pro-
hibition; that this is the only logic OF
the Byrd bill and amendments now
proposed, and that the adoption of
these amendments would cause great
err evils than they undertake to rem
edy.
With reference to the remark that
TIC former is being used as a stalk
Ing horse"s in opposition to the sale
of cider. my reply Is that the so-call-
ed Byrd liquor bill Is nothing more
than the gigantic stalking horse of
prohibition. In my opinion, Demo-
Gratis should stick to the Democratic
donkey; and those who are ashamed
I of the principles of the party should
come out openly under the banner OF
prohibition or whatever they may con-
slider better.
