SALQQNISTS WIN
In the Suits Brought against
Them by Clarksburg Board
of Trade.

Suits by the Clarksburg Board OF
Trade against Thomas II. Burke and
nine other saloonists for membership
dues have been decided IN favor of
the saloonists by Justice G. II. Gordon.
While the saloonist signed applica-
tions for membership, they gave the
SIS for the first year as voluntary do
nations and did not regard the same
as stock in the board. They did not
understand that they were 70 pay two
years more. The board could not show
that they had ever been elected to
membership and there was no record
to show that they had been sent GER
tificates. They never shared in the
operations of the board nor in its ban
quets.
Judgment was given the board of
trade against James Bodkin. a grocer.
as he failed to appear and the case
of f. A. Criss was continued.

rected to the officers OF this court by
Sunday schools and other religious
organizations; from many citizens Of
certain communities and from mn

In person. Some Of the complaints

on Sunday while his next door COM
petitor runs his business on Sunday
the same as on other days of the
week.
In view of the numerous com
plants as to violations and the ap-
parent misunderstanding and mis-
construction OF the general statute
relating to Sunday observance / feel
1t my duty to instruct you particu-
larry and at some length on the same.
Sunday observance was at first
religious regulation, but in the United
States where no particular religion
church can be opposed or supported
by law, Sunday observance, under
the law, is viewed purely in secular
light, and is not religious regula-
tton.
Chief Justice Fuller in the case of
Pitt VS.. Minnesota, III U. IS. 1874. in
which similar Sunday observance
statute was being considered, said:
Its requirements are cessation
from labor. In its enactment, the
legislature has given the sanction Of
law to rule o? conduct, which the
entire civilized world recognizes as
essential to the physical and moral
well-being of society. Upon no sub
ject is there such a concurrence of
opinion, among philosophers, moral
lists and statesmen of all nations. as
on the necessity of periodical cessa-
tion from labor. One day in seven Is
the rule, founded on experience, and
sustained by science. - The pro-
htbition of secular business on Sun,
day is advocated on the ground that
by it the general welfare is advanced,
labor protected. and the moral and
physical well-belng of society pro-
noted"
The earliest regulations we find
touching Sunday, as a civil instltu-
ton. was an edict of Constantine, A.
D. 321, which declared that ION the
venerable day of the Sun, let the
mag 'strates and people residing in
cities rest. and let all work shops be
closed" but under this edlct the
farmers were left free to cultivate
their fields and harvest their crops
on the Sabbath day
Sunday observance was recognized
and required by the rulers of Eng
land for some time prior to the com
ing of William the Conqueror, ana
by statute 80 Charles II, oh. Z, It was
enacted:
That no tradesman, arttfce, work
man, laborer or other person what
ever shall do or exercise any worldly
labor, business or work of their or
binary calling upon the Lords Day,
or any part thereof, work of necssi-
ty and charity excepted"

ogndZed law of Colonial America,
and in one form or another has been
copied into the laws of every state
