The Sunday-Closing Question in Los Angeles
The Sunday-closing question is up in Los Angeles. It came in a proposition to prevent street contractors for the municipality working on Sunday. Elder R. S. Owen presented a protest against the measure, because of the religious legislation involved in it, and was opposed, especially by Councilman Kingery. But, according to the Herald of that city, Elder Owen had altogether the best argument, on the ground of logic and the rights of man. But in the mind of the councilman, the majority should rule in all things. But the Herald well points out that majorities have nothing to do with the rights of men, and well intimates that the logic of Sunday laws would demand laws for eating, drinking, dressing, etc. But there will be Sunday laws despite logic and right. The people will not allow reason and right to rule.
