SUNDAY LID IS LIFTED (Continued from Flrat !.) Jaw, section 1988. Is attacked as un constitutional because of showing dis crimination among tradespeople and amusement people of the same class. It Is branded aa obsolete because of applying to conditions that existed 60 years ago. Enforcement of the law la declaimed against as a denial of equal protection and. a confiscation of prop erty without due process of law. And finally the contention Is made that the business of the various parties affect ed are conducted, not against, but In accordance with the purposes of the law namely, Sunday recreation. All these points are elaborated upon In great detail. Much Is made of the last point, the Idea being put forward that the day Is one of recreation, since the law recognizes no religion, and that In ministering to the lawful and normal wants of the public the caterer are acting In furtherance ef the very law Itself. - Violation Is ot Crime. No arguments on the question were heard yesterday. Judge Gantenbetn read the complaint and Issued the order en the basis that violation of the Sun day law in this case Is not a crime In Itself but merely a law of order or a pellrs regulation In Its nature. The plaintiffs named In the complaint are M. A. Gunet, the Hart Cigar Com pany. 61g. Slchel Co., C E. Ernst and Mrs. R. A. Van Garden. The Injunction, in applying to these people, reaches all others similarly affected. The law pro 's Idea that where there are a multiplic ity of plaintiffs all asserting a common right, names of all need not be Includ ed, but may be Indicated as similarly affected by the Issues of the case. Hence, all those retailers who have Joined the anti-Sunday closing organ isation are affected by the Injunction. The list Includes cigar dealers, shop keepers, a few bootblacks, poolroom and billiard hall keepera, several real estate agents, druggists who deal In ln- Identals. fruit stand owners, confec tioners and bathhouse keepers. In order to take no chances of having the law enforced by some person not affected by Injunction, Messrs Logan and Bristol overlooked none In the of ficial line. Not only were Cameron and the Chief of Police restrained, but all Cameron's deputies, all the captains and aergeants of polloe. Municipal Judge Van Zante and Sheriff Stevens, ba loons Are Not Affected. Saloonkeepers, of course, are given ! no opening by the Injunction. The law i regards saloons Is under a aeparate section, and It Is unmistakable clear and concise. The police will exercise their usual vigilance over the saloons of the city today. Much depends on the outcome of the hearing-tomorrow afternoon.- If the re tailer fail to secure a permanent In junction. It Is possible that District At torney Cameron will proceed to have warrant issued against those who have kept open. He said last night he might follow that course, although he wasn't sure. Should the retailers fail in estab lishing that the law is unconstitutional they will be In a predicament. Indeed, should Cameron see fit to have the law enforced. - The only remedy would lay with the coming Legislature., which could be asked to repeal the law. Essential allegations of the retailers' complaint follow: rlats Made by tU-tallm. That the buainrases. trades, avocations and pursuit- of th plaintiff e.nd all oth ers similarly situated are lawful in purpose and not for any purpo of labor but for lawful traffic In Ihos class of coramodlttoe only which make for. contribute and con duo to th rM-ratton, so lacs and nourish ment ef th Individual cltisen.

Speaking; Day of Real Old fuslitoncd -Campaigning. EVAXSVIL.LE, Ind., Oct. S. Long distance records for stump speaking during the present campaign were shattered today by James S. Sherman, the Republican Vice-Presidential can didate, and Congressman Nicholas Longworth. who traveled through two states delivering speeches. The party Journeyed almost from the Mississippi River, across tile northern part of the state,, thence soutu from Chicago to Egypt, the so-called Democratic stronghold, winding up a day of real old-fashioned campaigning here In the Hoosier state tonight. In his addresss here tonight Mr. Sherman replied to Mr. Bryan'a ques tion, "Shall the People Rule?" Speak ing In part as follows "Shall the people rule" Is declared by the j-temocrstic platform ana candidate to b "the overshadowing Issue of the rampalRn. Seemingly It ha. displaced usuei declared to be paramount. why are those other cues of recent years omitted from Mr. Bryan'a present platform? Why haa he forgotten? vi ny seemingly so anxious that the people should forget his silver Issue, his auMiult upon th. courts, bis Issue of Imperialism? Are any of these Issues embodied In our statutes? If not. why are they not found In his present piatiorm? ir botn Honest ana wise a ae cade ago. why are they now relegated t the political scrapheap? In reference to all these iMues Mr. Bryan la sphynx-like and he startle an attentive people with this new query. "Shall the people rule?" In his own personal experience Mr. Bryan furnished proof that the people do rule, tin candidacy now Is a protest against the pop ular verdict twice officially recorded. Ha 1st arraying his soaring ambition against the repeated decision, of -the millions of electors. Three Times and Out. In '1904 a sort of truce waa entered into and Bryan retired for the nonce as his party's candidate. Tha approaching cyclone drove the Nebraska! into the cellar of temporary re tirement and Judge Parker led the forlorn hope of that year. Mr. Bryan Invokes the old rule of three times and out. This and hi. own wishes control. His Droteat and ap peal are heard abov. every other sound. He Is hi. own advocate, his own witness, crowds blmselr upon the bench aa his own Judge, and lh.n Innnlra. "Shall th. nODle rule?" The answer already twice given will be repeated in November and once again, in my judgment, Mr. Bryan will know that the peo Dle do rule. The people know their own minds and know how to make their wishes effective. Against all these adverse decisions Mr. Rruti enter, hki nrot.Ht and for the third time appeal, to th. people to nullify their deliberate Judgment. H. Insists that tne people do not rule unless they rule through him. H. practices all the art of tha trained n.ni.r w. will sell his wares and will nnt tnk. no for an anawer. He keeps his own supply of lime-light and wraps it about him as a garment. No get-rlch-qulck' .heme was ever pushed with more Industry than he devote, to his canvass. In pulpit, on platform and stage, at fairs and picnics, he parades himself. All themes are alike to him. for the sum of each and aJL is the gen tleman from Nebraska. His grand conclusion from every promise, from every argument, is that be muot be master. ele the people do not rule. Like the French King who aald. I am the state." he Insists that his title shall be absolute. He will not admit that the people rule unless hla caneu.y Is approved Raises try of Corruption. Mr. Sherman recalled that Mr. Kern bad been twice defeated for Governor of Tnrii.fio. and continued: tn thla manner, at least, he la fitted for the association with the expert In partisan . , u- haa halt ,Via same privilege to pmtest and appeal and the duet from these skilled art I si a. enau m ivi- be their approximate requiem. The pretext of thU- protest is that the Ballot-box does not pronounce the true Judg ment of the electors, but that votes are bought and the result Is tainted by corrup tion.

Mr. Duque Is visiting bis brother In this city. He has been in Panama 32 years and bases his discouraging statement on expert knowledge of the natural condl- tlons there.
