The Sunday-Law Idol of Kansas City
By Editor
The great Sunday-law idol of Kansas City, Mo., is Judge W. H. Wallace. A despatch from Gallatin, Mo., to a Kansas City paper, under date of April 19, says: "The people of this city have watched with interest the developments in the blue-law enforcement in Kansas City, but received a severe shock today, when, as they returned at 12 o'clock from Easter services in the churches, they saw Judge W. H. Wallace on a stand in front of the principal hotel with two colored men diligently at work shining his shoes. The judge spoke to-night in the Presbyterian church on law-enforcement and Sabbath-breaking." Now we have no fault to find with the judge in getting his shoes shined on Sunday, nor with his colored brethren for doing it; but he ought to be consistent. His own blue-law condemns him.
