It Is Forbidden.
(Meriden JOurnal.)

If those conservatives who oppose any broadening of the Sunday laws in Connecticut would study the laws that are now on our statute books and real lze how closely we are bound down bv the rules that have been in force for many years they would welcome 8 change at once. For instance it is just as illegal for good church mem Der Of Mer1den to go to the post office for his mail on Sunday as it is for him to sell liquor in lis parlor It is just as much an Offense against the laws of Connecticut to buy a bottle of milk from the milkman as 1t is to open up his business on the Sabbath It is as heinOus a crime to drive to church in an automobile or behind 8 horse as it is to get a shine or shave.
 The Waterbury Republican, which has made an exhaustive study of "ver- bOten' laws prints a list of the things which are forbidden on Sunday calls attention to the many things that one cannot do and still not become lawbreaker. If some of these agitators against healthful outdoor amusement on the Sabbath would only realize that they are all law breakers they might think more sanely about these things.
 Here is the Republicans list of the things that the people of Connecticut are forbidden by law to do on the Sabbath:
 The purchase not only of meat and groceries, but also of milk, bakery products, ice cream, candy, cigars and tobacco, matches, toilet articles, writ ing papers, magazines, books and sta stionery, newspapers, camera films soda water, soda fountain drinks, gas- Oline, tires, oils.

children regarding certain pictures
 shown at different times, the com pIainants having having the erroneous idea that as chairman of the public amusements committee MT. Prior has supervision of the commercial amuse- ments. MT. Prior does not intend to set himself up as censor by his act of the present week, but he thinks, as do many other people, that the time has come when certain classes of picture, void of any moral lesson or particular point, should be eXclud- ed. But while the picture may be eX
 cluded here, such action only helps to make advertising capital for the
 producer and in the next city the photoplay will be heralded as the one stopped by the New Britain authori- ties. With this spicy information to whet the appetite, there is no doubt that the picture will draw larger crowds, anticipating a rude shock to their sensitive modesty that it would
 otherwise.
 The action of the board of public
 works at it's meeting Tuesday eve ming, when a petition for sidewalk from Beaver to Allen street on Pennington avenue was turned down because the petitioners were not resi- dents of the thoroughfare, has caused some dissatisfa ction among property owners in that section. Prominent
 people directly responsible for the de- velopment of this locality have ex- pended large sums Of money naking improvements and now that these are completed, they feel that property owners at the entrance to the street should justly come forward and do a nart of the work With the vote of the board to allow the petitioners permission to withdraw, the matter does not end and some interesting ar guments may be put forth by the resi- dents of that section to force others to place their sidewalks in passable condition. The signers of the petluon are heavy taxpayers In the northern section of the city and feel 1t Is about time steps were taken to eliminate the poor conditions that exist, and end the traversing through ankle deep muo' to reach their own homes and prop erty.

True, the board recommended that the chief detail him to do regular duty so that he will still have enough work. but what will that regular work be?

IL would appear that the loQuaclous "Denny' will have to hang around waiting until some officer wants to take day or night off and then do his work, or else do special work at dances, weddings ball games, etc. In any event it is hard to see where he will have any steady work or reg ular hours, but will have to take what is tossed him and be thankful that ne has not been fired entirely.
