DREW RESURRECTS BLUE LAW Sends Letters to AH Cigar and Confectionary Dealers . in the City Must Close Their Places of Business on Sunday or Suffer the Penalty W. P. Drew, professor of Latin, and Greek In the Willamette university, and a member or the Antlaaloon League, ha? served notice that cigar and confectionery stores must keep closed on Sunday. The notice cornea In the form of a letter on the Univer sity letter head1, andi Is dated Juno 10th. It readls as follows "I would call your attention to the fact that to keep your cigar stand open on Sunday Is a violation of tho law. See Bollinger & Cotton's code, section 1968. Yours truly, "W. P. DREW." The letter was received by all tho (jar dealers and confectionery stores !n the city, an! created! Indignation everywhere. While it was known that ;Mr. Drew would1 follow the saloon (men, It was not generally thought he ould attempt to enforce the en tire category of "blue laws," and' hlB ore In that direction was a surprise all. This Is the first time since Salem as been a city that anything of tills haracter has been advocated, and tho lerchants nro justly indignant. W. P. Drew, who issued tho letters, resided in Salem1 for about two care, but his name coes not appear a the tax roll, city directory or public rds. Ho la not known by very y of the local people, and his pur- In calling Into vogue the obsc- e laws In question la hard to deter- ne. Wlllametto University Is veryun- ortunato In connecting that noble ln- tatlon with tho affair, find many of ie patrons feel very much Injured aggrieved by the action of a ember of tho faculty. A Journal reporter called on ya ws reclDlentsi of the letter, and tM9M8t3 You Cannot Get Value Without Quality U Isn't what you pay, but what Wu get that makes a bargain.

One said: "Wo wlllkeep our place openj, and If arrested will fight it before a jury, as I do not be lieve that six average men will ren der a verdict of guilty against any man or house receiving the letters." One cigar dealer said that ho would close, and hoped that all others would do the same. He said that ho did not Intend to rush into troublo, and1 if the people wanted to back up Drew In hla Puritanical ideas, he believed In lotting things go. Tho section under which Drew acts 19 as follews: "If any person shall open any store, shop, grocery, bowling alley, billiard room, on tippling house, for tho pur pose of labor or traffic or any place of amusement on the first day of tho week, commonly called "Sunday" or the "Lord's Day," such person, upon the conviction thereof, shall bo pun ished by a fine of not less than f 5 nor more than $50, provided1, however, that tho above provision does not ap ply to theatres, tho keepers of drug stores, doctor shops, undertakers, liv ery stable keepers, butchers and bakers, and all circumstances of no nesclty and mercy may be pleaded In defeiiso, which shall be treated1 a8 questions of fact for the Jury to de termine when the offense Is tried." Tho statute la an old one, but was amended at tho session of 1903, Grave questions aro presented by tho law, as to Its constitutionality, and it is doubtful whether it can bo enforced A California decision holds a simi lar statuto in that state to bo uncon stitutional on the grounds that It is special legislation. Courts look with disfavor on laws enacted for tho pur pose of restricting trade In certain blanches. Tho Oregon statuto pro hibits a grocery store to keep open, but bakers and butchers- are exempt from its operation. COLORADO MINERS BANISHED CHAMPION OUT Of BUSINESS STRIKERS STRUCK KANSAS.
