. THE - SUNDAY OREGOMAN, JUNE - 12, ISOi
TO CLOSE STORES
Salem Threatened With a
Quiet Sunday.
PROFESSOR BRANCHES OUT
Notifies Cigar Stores, Confectionery,
Stands - and Ice Cream " Resorts
That They Are Violating the
Law on the Seventh Day.
SALEM. Or., June 11. (Special.) A
Sunday closing crusade -was' commenced
against . all the cJgar stores, con
fectionery stands and ice cream parlors
in this city. Professor W. P. Drew,
who caused the arrest of 15 saloonkeepers
last Tuesday, is back of the movement.
He served notice on all the cigar and
confectionery men yesterday. So far as
can be learned, all of them will keep
their places of business open Sunday.
In his letter Professor Drew does not
say what he will do if the stores keep
open on Sunday. The course he pursued
with the saloonmen has led the cigar,
ice cream and candy men to believe that
he will have them all arrested if they
keep open. With this understanding
they have decided to keep open and. if
arrested, stand trial before a Jury.
So far as appears from his letter, Pro
fessor Drew Is acting upon his own initi
ative alone. It was supposed that in
having the saloon men arrested he acted
on behalf of the Law Enforcement
League, but his letter to the cigar men
and confectioners does not show anything
of the kind. The letter appears to be
"written on a "Willamette University letter
head, but this is not taken as connecting
the school in any way with the move
ment A sample of the letters sent out
follows:
Dear Sir: I would call your attention to
the fact that to keep your clear stand open on
Sunday Is a. violation of the law. See Bel
linger & Cotton's' code, section 1D6S. Yours
truly. W. P. DREW."
The receipt of this letter caused a
sensation which spread all over town and
during the afternoon the new crusade
was almost the only topic of discussion.
It was very apparent that although Pro
fessor Drew had public opinion in his
favor in his campaign for Sunday clos
ing of saloons, he has it strongly against
him in this movement. The section of
the law to which he refers reads as fol
lows: If any person shall keep open any store,
ebon, grocery, bowling-alley, blllard-room
or tlppllng-house. for the purpose of labor or
trafllc, or any place of amusement, on the
first day of the week, commonly called Sun
day, or the .Lord's day. 6uch person, upon
conviction thereof, shall be punished by a fine
not less than J5 nor more than $50; provided,
however, that the above provision shall not
apply to theaters, the keepers of drugstores,
doctor shops, undertakers, livery stable keep
ers, butchers and bakers: and all circum
stances of necessity and mercy may be pleaded
In defense, which shall be treated as ques
tions of fact for the Jury to determine when
the offense Is tried by Jury
When Professor Drew was asked today
what he will do if the cigar stores and
confectionery stands keep open tomorrow,
he declined to say. He explained his
course in regard to these lines of busi
ness by saying that he acted in a spirit
of fairness. The law, he says, forbids
keeping open cigar stores and confection
ery stands, as it does saloons. Having
sworn out warrants for the arrest of
saloonkeepers who violated the Sunday
closing law, he felt that In order to treat
all alike he should proceed against the
others.
This Indicates an intention to swear out
warrants against the cigar and candy
men if they keep open tomorrow, as they
say they will. Professor Drew also said
in answer to a question that he is not
acting as a representative of the Law
Enforcement League or any other organ
ization, but is undertaking the enforce
ment work on his own responsibility.
Saloonmen are rather pleased at Pro
fessor Drew's new move, for they believe
he has now gone so far-in the Sunday
closing movement that he will lose the
public sympathy he gained when he pro
ceeded against them.
