| i j THE STAR—-WEDNESDAY, APRIL 14, 1909, THE SEATTLE STAR |AILEEN MAY, THE ACTRESS, IS BY STAR PUBLISHING CO, eh NNT 1307-1908 Seventh Ave a | EVIRY AFTERNOON EXCEPT SUNDAY. | pees at the Postotiies at Seattian Washingtan, as second-class matter =r aero aha KEEP FAIR OPEN ON SUNDAY The Star believes that it we vale be a erving shame to close} the gates of the exposition on Sumday. Many months ago ‘The } Star made known its position on this’ matter, and it has found The Star believes the fair should remain open on Sunday, | just as it believes that the young man who works all week) perculean task should be permitted to play ball on Sunday if Ne « to holler himself hoarse at a league ball game, if it-so happens that there is a game on the home grounds Briefly stated, The Star is opposed to “strict Sunday clos-| ing,” which has long been a local issue in Seattle, and which | a all important municipal affairs. }? It is a good thing to have one day's rest in seven. Tt is | an al and economic calamity to close ! ces of amuse | comedy ment on Sunday Even theologically there is a chance tor an Rument on the “Sunday question but that is another story } 1¢ Sunday amusement This is merely a plea for founded on a belief that Sunday a ements of the proper sort | are of immea able value to a people who no longer spend six | tne days a week in hard, physical out-of rs. pursuits A law that « on Sunday and indulge in pious meditation, could not have yg and Indian much of a hardship after six days of tree felli shooting. On the other hand, if we day—if there is to be any—should |, advancement, the law of compel every inside we sible on Sunday, play baseball or some similar game, or at least watch one, or even—yes, even go to the thea sity here for upholding it. It is the other side—which is evaded by most newspapers—that we defend. | One contention of the champions of strict Sunday observ ance is that the Sunday amusement is the ally of the saloon The Sunday amusement is the foe, not the friend, of the saloon It is equally the foe of the liquor traffic—eliminating th ld atically befuddle t loon. Few men sit down and syst selves if they have even one day of outdoor recreation or other hygienic amusement. The desire to keep himself in condition for the Sunday ball game between two shop teams has kept many a young man from too much drinking, too much s ing, too many late hours. | The workingman who likes to take his family to an amuse- ment place on Sunday isn’t liable to be sleeping off the Satur- day night effects all day Sunday. His desire for Sunday amuse- ment should be encouraged—not frowned upon. As for the theatre, the conventional cry that it is immorat | is founded upon a lack of knowledge of the world some seek | to reform. As a general rule the theatre, even the melodrama, | is deeply moral. The argument that ball games, theatres, | | amusement parks, excursions, ¢tc., keep people away from the} churches isn’t worth considering. John Wesley woul not have feared a ball game There ‘may be something in theology, but there surety is} nothing in religion, that is opposed to Sunday enjoyment—to health of mind aad body. It already has been said, though, that | “Christ invented religion and the devil invented theology.” There is plenty of time on Sunday for both a sermon and the } exposition. | ' It would expedite matters greatly | to a Califorsia white woman, if the city council would state just aged 490. } how many persons must be killed ie “ by slot gas meters before they are fhe box score and percentage declared officially to be ansafe. columns will be alongtin a few ————__—_= | days, reviving the mooted question The next Chamber of Commerce |as to whether figures lie or Hare | report will chow that Seattie leads | figure. | fm bank clearings. stamp sales, a | school attendance and deaths by Because there are a great num Quarterinthe-slot meters. ber of babies bora in this. city _ — every month is no valid reasoo| * The poor man, tolling over his for killing grown-aps with slot! stack of hots ou his breakfast table,! meters.
