In an- other bill he seeks to amend the Sunday code to permit baseball games between amateurs Sunday afternoons, Assemblyman Gluck would al- Jow Sunday entertainments for the benefit of charities and education. | Assemblyman Cuvillier would let the Board of Aldermen regu- Vate Sunday theatres, concerts and baseball games of all kinds, This is only the beginning of the ses bills will be numerous. Among them will probably be amendments to the Excise law to permit Sunday selling during the afternoon and evening hours. The present Sunday laws do not fit metropolitan conditions and should be revised, but before they are altered there should be a thorough understanding of what Sunday laws there are and why they are. The Penal Code now prohibits {All shooting, hunting, fishing, playing, horse racing, gaming or other Dublic sports, exercises or shows upon the first day of the week. All trades, manufactures, agricultural or mechanical employments upon the first day of the week, except wen the same are works of necessity, ‘All manner of public selling or offering for sale of any property on Sunday, except articles of food before 10 o'clock in the morning, and meals, and prepared tobacco, milk, ice and soda water, fruit, flowers, confectionery, Dewspapers, drugs, medicines, surgical appliances, Pen All service of legal process, ri ae All processions and parades, excepting only funeral processions, The performance of any tragedy, comedy, opera, ballet, farce, negro minstrelsy, negro or other dancing, wrestling, boxing with or without ®loves, any circus, equestrian or dramatic performance or exercise, It is a mistake to entitle these provisions as does the Penal Code, Crimes Against Religious Liberty and Conscience.” The strongest reason for the observance of a day of rest and recreation every week is economic and not religious. The Penal Code recognizes this in providing that where “the defendant uniformly keeps any other day ef the week as holy time and does not labor on that day” such an observance isa suflicient defense to a prosecution for work or labor on Sunday. ‘Tame.
