The Sunday Law.

By Editor

It seems that all who, in the coming election next fall, do not vote for a law that will allow a Police Court to sit in judgment on a man’s conscience, are to be branded as “lewd fellows,” “incapable of understanding and appreciating our most cherished institutions,” and “indecent people.” This is what the Home Protection Association says, in a circular issued recently. It says, further, that “in the coming political campaign, the decent, law-abiding portion of our citizens,”—by which remark reference is made to the Home Protectionists,— “propose to vote for such legislative candidates as are pledged to sustain an efficient and judicious Sunday Law, be they Republican or Democrat. No former party affiliations can possibly influence us to vote for candidates not thus pledged. If neither party places such candidates in nomination, the Home Protection Association of California will put Sunday-Law candidates in the field, and in such case we expect and believe that all decent people will vote with us.”
