THE sABBA1n-oR SUNDAY nOL.
IDAY

IDAY
We have had some rather unns-
ual rains this spring-in and
around Forest City, we mean-in
that while there has been an alum
dance for all crops, there has been
no foods, or enough to interfere
with the mails. And thereby
or thereto ''hangs a heavy edito-
rial"
There was somewhat of A good
rain Saturday night, so much SO
that We Editor was surprised at the
number of picnic and excursion
parties visiting us next day. Two
OF three different times we watch
ed our windows to try to make out
who they were; but as they flew by
every few minutes. we finally gave
it up, and gave vent to the feelings
which actuated this aforesaid
"heavy editorial"
Sunday picnic and fishing parties
are now getting TO be the main
feature of Forest City's summers,
and, in the natural order of things,
probably would make a column OF
"Persouals" if the Editor was dis
posed to mix with the different
pageants that come and go,-in
other words. if he was to get out
and boost the Sunday picnic idea.
But do the deserving, enterpris-
ing business interests of Forest
City imagine that The Press is.
going to give up its Sabbath; aban-
don the Sabbath of the Church for
the Sunday of the sportsman and
"joy-rider;;" make the Sabbath a
day of work or employment our
selves and then say that the civil
law and the commandment in re-
gard to the Sabbath should be. OBJ
served by others2
Several weeks ago The Press
challenged those of our citizens
who believe in. and uphold the all
night dance, to write us something
for publication in defense of their
stand, also, those who believe that
gambling is an innocent recrea-
ton. But The Press has not been
favored with any such communica-
tion as yet.
Will some of these folk please
enlighten us as to whether All all
night dance without the accompan-
iment of liquor becomes respecta-
bles But do not write and say
that The Press is opposed to dane
ing; for in that event the whole
thing will be fred into our waste
basket.
If we remember correctly, Get.
tysburg's city ordinance requires
all dance halls to close at two to
three O'Clock a. IN.
Asdance where liquors are serv-
ed is. described by the dictionary
and the courts as q "carousal."
And an all-night dance comes
very near being the same thing.
