Grocers and Sunday Closing

The Kansas City “World,” in commenting on the Sunday-closing question and retail grocers, truly says that “the grocers themselves are best qualified to judge of what they should do.” And this is true of any and every class and their relation to the Sabbath. They deserve a rest once a week, and there is no law to prevent their taking it. On the other hand, as the World points out, there are many who wish to get fresh groceries Sunday morning, and who ought to have the privilege. The best way, the only true way, is to let both parties adjust it themselves instead of demanding that the law interfere.
