California Sunday Law Opposition

NEWS comes from several towns in California where the agitation on the Sunday law caused a closing up of all business places on that day, that last Sunday witnessed a general re-opening. Several cases prosecuted have resulted in acquittal, which shows that the "average juror" is an "unknown quantity" on this subject as well as on others, and that it will not be so easy to carry the law into full effect as was anticipated by many of its friends. But all concede that the strength of feeling developed in favor of the law was far beyond all expectation for this State, and serves to animate its advocates with the hope of future success.
