A vigorously pressed assault on American Sunday observance now Under-way in the press aitd in the motion picture theaters makes hi* dustrions use of he term "blue laws." Every device of the sa- J i J **-?_ * 1 iirivui wrnrr uuu me comic cartoonists has been used to create a condition of mob hysteria on ^ the subject. Ravs Henry Ford's paper, the Dearborn Independent. There are assumedly intelligent people who will tell you that a strong organization of fanatical and puritanical reformers are determined on imposing "their 17th century notions" on the modern people of free America. Under the threatened enactment by Congress of these "blue laws" we are told everybody will be compelled to go to church on Snpdny on penalty of fine and imprisonment. Autoinobiling is to be banned. Pleasant country walks and the innocent recreations in the green places of our city parks, or trips to the woods nnd the seashore, are to be forbidden. ThiR is the Rort' of preposterous guff ladled out to the public* in the movie films and the newspapers without measure. Discrimination is almost as rare a.? a white black-bird. The very blackness of the smoke screen barrage sent up |n this publicity stunt should have made it Ruspect. \ in the minds of intelligent people. And a little honest inquiry shows "that the whole attack is based from first to last on mendacity. So outrageously audacious, in, deed, is this mendacity that it is 1 art* insult to public intelligence to } assume that any thinking man would be fooled by it. Apparently the anti-rent day propagandists count on lack of ejteactly such intelligence. What are the facts t Simply that certain commercial associations in the United States, with utter disregard for everything but their own pockets, have set out to destroy the American Sabbath to CAntllPo nn nvti-u iliiu In tlio week for vampire films und prize fighta, incidentally seeking to dis credit all laws against bootleggers and gamblers and indecent exhibitions. As-a smoke screen for their actual objects, these Avid Appetites obtained wide publicity for the statement that a "national Sun.. day law'," designed to restore the Puritan "blue laws" in all their archaic asceticism, was pending in Congress and was backed by various reform organizations. The fact is that the only law concerning Sunday observance before Congress is a bill designed to bring the city of Washington into line with 47 of our States to piotect the American Sabbath against invasion by commercialized amusements in the national capital. It is a local measure, backed by local interests and has been pending for 42 years. It has only local scope and has no national significance. Reform organizations of national scope promised to support it on general nrinninlao Pint it iu lint rlaninl but protection of every man's right to Sunday rest that is the aim of theRe reformers.
