THE SUNDAY OBSERVANCE LAW
IN NEWPORT NEWS.

I'm NEWFOhI NG"O.
Since Newport News has been an
incorporated city the drug stores,
which practically are required to keep
their doors open seven days In the
week to administer to the needs oil
the suffering public. have been allow
ed to sell soda water. cigars, tobacco.
etc. on Sunday as they do on other
days. And the news-stands. handing
as they do what the public the coun-
try over seems to regard as neces-
sity, also have been permitted to dis
pense cigars and tobacco and TO work
their bootblacks on Sunday. All OF
these things probably are In violation
of the letter of the sabbath obser-
vance statute of the State. which
makes 1t misdemeanor 20 do any
labor on Sunday other Ian work OF
necessity or charity The local au-
thorities and public appreciate that
IL was never contemplated that there
should be a literal enforcement of the
letter of this law, and apparently
have been satisfied that the drug
dists and news dealers have not been
guilty of violations of the laws spirit.
There have been some complaints.
A few would-be reformers have at
infrequeut intervals called upon the
authorities to require the sale OF
drugs and newspapers only. but no
such call ever has been backed by
respectable show of public sentiment,
and in every instance the complaint
has been forgotten almost as soon as
made. The public. il surface indica-
tons mean anything at all, has been
satisfied, and of late there has been
no urgent protest even from those
ultra-good regulators OF morals who
hardly will be content with the con-
duct Of affairs In heaven. IL they ever
get there The ministers OF the gos-
per. or at least a majority Of them,
hardly can believe that any great
moral wrong has been done BY the
druggists and news-dealers. otherwise
there would have been a concerted
movement on their part long ago TO
remedy the evil. For the dealers have
not attempted secrecy. What has
been done has been done openly with
In plain view. and apparently with

Virginia cities that might be mention

Is made by the dealers: curtains are
