It Is Always Religious

It Is Always Religious.—We are told that the plea for a Sunday law is not religious, in spite of the fact that the religious plea for the day constantly bobs up. Secular papers know it. For instance, the Buffalo Express of June 9, in an editorial making a mild plea for “Sunday baseball,” says: “There is little doubt that most of the cities would vote in favor of amateur games played at such hours as would not interfere with the religious duties of the community.” The editor knows that behind the demand for prohibition of sports is the religious sentiment—the voice. Everybody knows it. All claim to the contrary is to disguise unconstitutional religious legislation.
