Bill for Stricter Sabbath Observance

By Editor

We take the following paragraph from the Washington Post of December 6:—
More strict observance of the Sabbath is sought in a bill introduced in the House yesterday by Representative Allen, of Maine. It provides that all places of business, except news stands, drug stores, and undertakers' shops, shall be closed on that day, and that no baseball or football games shall be played. A fine of from five dollars to fifty dollars for violation is imposed. Those who observe Sunday on another day do not come under the stipulations of the bill.
We shall have something to say about this matter later.
