The Rocky Mountain News devotes nearly a column to an editorial review of some Sunday-law talks recently given in Denver by W. F. Crafts. It cites the fact that the most of the Sunday laws in the various States are not enforced, as proof that public opinion does not sustain Sunday legislation, and then ruthlessly pricks the civil Sunday bubble, as follows:—
"According to the best estimate, less than half the population of the United States have any kind of association with the churches. Would it not be just to consider the rights of the other half in formulating laws for Sunday observance? Is not this especially true if Mr. Crafts is correct in basing his proposed legislation wholly on civil authority?"
