NEW ENGLAND BLUE LAWS.
Detroit. Mimi. Herald1


Back in the days of the old New
Haven colony, a certain estimable
clergyman. Samuel A. Peters by
name, introduced what have since
come to be known as the blue
laws" According to this code, a
mother could-not kiss her child or
the Sabbath; housewives could not
cook. sweep or make beds on the
Sabbath: men were net allowed to
shave on the Lords day, and the
law even decreed how they should
trim their hair. Married persons
were compelled to live together or
go TO Jail
History. however. throws some
light on Mr.. Peters case. He was
born. IT appears. before his time.
He was a humorist. but the stern
New England fathers couldn't under
stand his humor He drafted the
blue laws as a joke. His code was
intended as a satire on the Puritanic
laws then in existence. He meant
to reduce the blue laws ad alb
surdum. But. an the irony of fate.
The straight-laced magistrates of
those narrow and bigoted days inter
preted his laws literally, and en-
forced them literally. To them. I'M
gifted with the saving grace of hu-
NOR, the laws were reasonable and
good.
We have made some progress since
then. but there are too many earnest
reformers Of the present day who.
like the old New Englanders. lack a
sense Of humOr. They take them
selves and the world too seriously
and il is these later-day Puritans
who are responsible for much of the
foolish and unnecessary legislation
with which the country has been
burdened
