What Does It Mean?

By Editor

Supreme Courts of States and nation seem to be taking their cue of justice from the Dark Ages, despite the Constitution and common custom. The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania has confirmed, by a recent decision, an old blue law of 1794, relative to the publication of newspapers on Sunday.

The recent lottery decision of the Supreme Court of the United States has, by two recent decisions, blotted out the First Amendment to the Constitution, establishing the religion of the nation, and dealing a blow at the freedom of the press. Of course, they hold that the Constitution stands intact, but it does not now mean what it has always been supposed to mean. What does it mean? But more of this in our next.
