The Wisdom of the Courts

The Wisdom of the Courts.—The Supreme Court of New York has decided the Sunday law of that state to be constitutional. The United States Supreme Court has decided the same with reference to the wicked Sunday law of Georgia. But the Supreme Court of California recently decided the Barbers' Sunday law, very similar to the New York provision, to be unconstitutional, and Illinois Supreme Court follows with a like decision with reference to the Cody Sunday law of that state. Were it not for the religious element, there would be no such dissonance, and it all shows that no such laws as a Sunday law ought ever to exist.
