ORLANDO TRYING IT AGAIN

And now Orlando is experiencing
one of those sporadic epidemics OF
Sunday closing movement that af-
fiicts the communities of this state
every once in a while.
A number of very good women,
members of an organization that has
charge. of the morals of the COM
munity, have discovered that the an
cient laws of the state prohibit the
sale of anything but actual neces-
stiles on Sunday, and they have dis
covered that a number of people in
Orlando have been in the habit OF
selling certain things, and they have
complained to the governor that the
county solicitor is not fulfilling his
duty in prosecuting those who are
violating the letter of. the law.
Hence, discord, disorder and trouble.
Many Of the business men of Or
lando are meeting the situation in
characteristic manner. They an
rounce thath they do not wish to
complicate the situation by permit
ting their business places to remain
open on Sunday until the matter Is
settled, therefore, they will close.
The list of businesses involved in
this voluntary closing movement is
a large one and indicates that the
ordinary resident of Orlando is to be
during the enforcement of the blue
laws of the state, Drug stores will
remain closed except for the sale Of
. drugs actually needed by a sick
population. Cigar stores will close,
as will soda fountains, grocery
stores and butcher shops. Garages
are named in the list, and it will be
impossible to get an automobile IN
, or out of one of these institutions
on Sunday, and Of course, no repairs,
however necessary, will be tmade
And the list goes on through other
lines of business.
The ludicrous thing about the
hituation will cause untold incon-
venience and perhaps suffering. for
as an instance. the ice factories an
nounce that they will also close
down on friday, is that the good
women are exactly correct about the
matter so far as the state law goes.

than a half century ago, which now
