Sunday Enforcement in New Jersey

“The subject of religious liberty is a live one in this State at the present time, as the movement for so-called civic righteousness is gaining ground rapidly. The question of enforcement of the Sunday-closing laws is being widely agitated. The governor of the State, having taken a very decided stand on this question, has threatened to remove from office any one who does not comply with the directions in this matter; and there has been talk of sending State troops to certain places to compel the closing of places of amusement and everything of similar character on Sunday.”
