Enforcing the Sunday Law
By Editor
Strenuous efforts are now to be put forth in San Francisco to enforce the Sunday Law. The Chief of Police has issued the following order:— "Captains Douglass and Short: Instruct your officers to enforce the Sunday law. Arrests will be made of persons who may violate this law next Sunday. P. CROWLEY, Chief of Police." On this the Chronicle says:— "Should the order be carried out to the letter, the city prison will not be large enough to hold one-half of the prisoners, and a dozen Police Courts will not have time to try them from week to week." The same paper contains the following item:— "The Sunday law was made the chief issue in the local election at Salinas yesterday, with the result that the opponents of the measure scored a sweeping victory." To all of which we can say in the words of the old song:— "The cry is up, the strife's begun."
