Petition Checks Sunday Legislation
WE learn through Elder J. O. Corliss that the fact that sixty-eight thousand signatures protesting against Sunday legislation are on hand at Sacramento, is evidently holding in check the advocates of such measures. The San Jose Times says:— “There is a Sunday bill floating around the assembly, and nobody has been found yet willing to introduce it. The bill comes from the Sunday Rest League, and several of the members have been importuned to sponsor it, but so far no one is willing to introduce it, even ‘by request.’ The terms of the bill are very strict, placing an absolute prohibition on the opening of any place of business except hotels, restaurants, and cafés on Sunday.”
