BEFORE the Kansas Legislature a bill is pending providing for the prohibition of baseball on Sunday in that commonwealth. Many petitions and counter-petitions have been sent in. Rev. Walter Burr, pastor of the Congregational church of Olathe, in a letter to Senator Hodges, opposes the passage of the bill on the ground that it savors of religious legislation. He says, according to the Wichita Daily Eagle of Jan. 26, 1911:— I do not believe that the bill ought to pass, particularly because Sunday observance is peculiarly a church affair, for and not agreed upon by all churches. The passage of such a bill seems to me to approach legislation in the interest of the promulgation of denominational or sectarian beliefs.
