Tate the Sunday observance laws. Shops sell freely flour, sugar, bread and what not, and the business man who respects the law is penalised. Customers i transfer their trade to places who will supply them on Sunday. If Simdiiy trading is to be jallowed, then amend | the law and let nil who wish to open . i their businesses, but tho author]tins j aro certainly under an obligation to protect those who to-day aro trying to J observe the law. Some months ago tho writer disposed of tho business he was then in at a sacrifice because, ho either had to open his business 011 Sunday or turn informer on his opposition. Tho evil habit seems"'to be spreading afc a great rate. It seems time somebody, moved in tho matter. Wake Up.
