The strict closing of business houses in Eugene, veBterday, has provoked ctsiderablo discussion, and some indignation. So far as could be seen, however, there was no differetOJ from ordinary Sun days, except, perhaps, a larger number of )cople on tho streets. It is well to enforce the laws but a reasonable construction should bo placed on them. BiuincsOis mt generally carried on of Sun days, and a closing law certainlr fY'ver contemplated that a men cMnt should not he 9llowed to supply a customer with stime urticle the purchase of which was neglected on wet days.0 Courts and jurie have almost uniformity taken this view of the matter. Municipal law s cover a wide variety of sub jects, almost af? implying to K?tty offences, anQit is a well established rule that strict and unusual appli cation should not be made. While the authorities are expected to pre serve the dignity of tiie law, reason able discretion should be exercised. There is not a town of any im portance in the state where the laws are not technically violated every day, yet as no intention of offense exists arrests are not made. Take for example ord injurs pro hibiting fast driving, which are g-ncrally found in city laws. Any one knows that a team that does not move oyer six miles an hour when trotting is not worth having, and that the law is set at naught daily, yet no interference result) except w lien some onO becomes too reckless. Quher laws como in the same list, and a liberal con struction must he allowed. Any other course of action cannot but result in perpetual turmoil, un seemly strife between neighbors and citizens, and great injury to the town. n Kast Oreeonian; The Eiokse iri'AHD is advocating tin construc tion of a steamer foo the upper Willamette.
