Sunday Laws and Religious Legislation
By Editor
THE advocates of rigid Sunday laws for both State and nation are not meeting with overwhelming success in their efforts to persuade people that such legislation is purely civil, having no bearing on religion. The editor of the Daily News (Denver) writes thus: "Dr. Crafts has studied his subject closely, and has become an adept in presenting it in plausible garb. Conscious of the incongruity of attempting religious legislation in this stage of United States history, he has earned diplomatic honors for the cleverness with which he maintains the proposition that his idea of Sunday rest, enforced by law, would not be religious legislation." We do not expect to head off such legislation; but we want those who may vote for it to know for what they are working.
