In New York Governor Smith has
done what he was expected to do and
what a vast majority OF the people
wished him to do in signing the laws
recently passed providing for a more
liberal Sunday. Whether lesalizins

profitable to baseball and m otion pic

that is quite aside from the question.
There is no harm in either amuse-

THE LIBERAL SUNDAY BILL.

Rumor around the capitol at Hart

Intends to veto the bill extending To-
cal option to cities and towns on the
observance OF Sunday. The Governor
has not revealed his intentions but il
is feared he does not look with APP
prevail on the measure.
Both House and Senate passed the
bill by large majorities and as both
are supposed to represent the people.
the reason for a veto would be OBJ
scure. The object of the measure is
simply to permit local governments
to determine whether com ercial en-
tertainments shall be conducted on
Sunday. There is no question that
the people in large communities dc
sire q more liberal Sunday and it is
hoped that the Governor will realize
the truth of this statement.
