MARCH OF COMMON SENSE. The world moves. A Supreme Court Judge has decided that there {9 no vio- Jation of law in billlard-playing on Sun- day. Judge Ingrahzm decides that the sec- tion of the Penal Code which provides | that all public sports, exercises or shows, and all noise disturbing the| peace of the day shall be illegal on| Sunday, does not apply to games not in public view or which are not thrown open te the public. This is a wide de cision and may cover much more than billiard-playing. It is, at all events, an indication that the spirit of fanaticism is being curbed | and that more libera' views of the peo- ple’s rights are being entertained. If the Legislature will have the sense to pass a well-regulated Sunday liquor Jaw so that men who have no other holiday can take their families to a Jager beer garden to listen to music and singing on a Sunday evening, in- stead of spending their time in side- door bar rooms, a step will be made in the direction of right and of good order. The Sunday will be better for such innocent privileges, and so will the | people. The defeat of the whipping- post was a good contribution to com- mon sense and respect for popular sen- timent. A discreet Sunday opening- | opening law will be another. | ON THE WARPATH.

To the F:litor: A few lines to the editorial writer who is of the opinion that a free country should abolition of laws that have been fram people to do the right, No man is free to do and if buying and selling on the Sabbath day Is not an evil, then God's laws have passed away, end all laws should pass away, That ‘would be giving the people the freedom that ‘The World” desires, It 19 a disgrace to seo any store open on Sunday in this clvilized land. It is a direct viclation of the law of God, and we are Dot aware of bis giving any mortal instructions to have that law altered. When « newspaper ad- Vocates Sunday work, it is evident that the devil the 4 to force in scratching the editor's back, and when any official gives @ man the power or privilege to sell goods on this day he has given something that was never his to give. Fast times and free coun tries do not alter the Ten Commandments, There ia no law against drinking beer on the Sabbath; people are free to drink if they wish; but those people should buy their beverage on Saturday, as Orristian people do their beef. If there is a law prohibiting one man from selling or working, that law should cover every man and every trade. f am a little surprised that a pertodical that has got ax high on the ladder as the New York World would be so unwise as to advocate @ change im the Almighty's Decalogue.
