Canton Clergymen Demand Sunday Law Enforcement

EIGHTEEN clergymen who recently called upon the mayor of Canton, Ohio, with a demand for the enforcement of the Sunday-closing law, received a promise that he would do all he could to secure an “orderly Sabbath.” But he took occasion to censure one of the delegation for turning his church into a hotel on Sunday while demanding that other places be closed. It seems that clergymen and churches (that is, Sunday observers) are deemed to be exempt from the penalties of such laws.
