Csc TO 81 m FAVOR
CLOSING SUNDAYS
Willmar Postmaster Has TakeI
an Expression Of Patrons
Regarding Sunday Mail.

The movement inaugurated by the
post Office department for the closing
Of post Offices on Sunday is meeting
with favor generally. Many Of the
Offices in the large cities have been
closed on Sundays, apparently with
out detriment to the service, and the
movement is being gradually extend
ed to take in the Offices in smaller
towns. Some weeks ago the post
master at Willmar received letter
from the first assistant postmaster
general which said, in substance:
There is a very strong. sentiment
throughout the country in favor of
closing post offices on Sundays as
gious organizations and commercial boz
dies, by numerous letters and petitions
from the general public and by COM
ments Of the press. In large number
the discontinuance Of Sunday service,
where the sentiment was favorable and
seemed to: justify such action. It is
believed, therefore, that the discontinue
ance OF, the Sunday delivery can be eff
fected without Inconvenience to the pub
lie and with great benefit to the officers
and employees Of the post offices.
'"The Department asks for your ear
nest cooperation in bringing about this
Sunday closing, and suggests that If
you have any doubt as to the attitude
of the public on the subject you take
the matter up with the press Of your
city, with the ministers and religious
ASSOCIATIONS, and commercial bodies, and
that you report to the Department
the result
AS the proposition of the Depart
ment involved a very radical change
in the handling Of mail at Willmar
on Sunday, the local postmaster
thought best to take steps to ascer-
tain just what public sentiment
would be in the premises. A letter
was addressed to all the clergymen
in the city, and also to the newspa-
pers, stating in some detail the plans
of the Department and asking for a
written expression Of opinion there
on. The following letters were re-
ceived in reply:

Mr.. Alton Crosby,
Wfllmar, MINI.
My Dear Mr.. Crosby
reference to the Sunday closing Of the
Willmar post Office, I beg to say that
Operation. I believe that everyone ought
to have a. day Of rest if possible. The
getting Of mail on Sunday does not ap-
peal to me as a necessity The present
practice is largely one of custom. be-
lieve it will be no detriment but help
to business to keep Sunday mail out Of
the hands of business men, You can
count on all the influence can WELD in
public and from the pulpit. am,
~ Yours cordially,
E- .. B. Spencer.
Dear Mr.. Crosby
Yes, favor the closing of the post
office on Sunday, and the due observance
of the Lords Day.
