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.
