Tilted, Stringent
Blue Laws Killed
The Sunday lid, clamped down with a vengeance in Dickinson a few weeks ago as a result of the Attorney General Langer's enforcement of the Blue Laws, was tilted on Sunday last when news came that Senate Bill No. 81 had been passed by both branches of the legislative assembly. Governor Frazier signed the bill the fore part of the week, and as a result North Dakotans are again free and independent people on Sunday.
The new law provides that all work of necessity and charity may be performed on Sunday, including the operation of steam railroads, street railways, telephone and telegraph systems, hacks, taxicabs and busses, automobile garages and supply stations, news and cigar stands, boot blacking stands and newspaper plants. Meats and fish may be sold at any time before 10 o'clock a. m., and drugs, medicines, surgical appliances and sundries may be sold at any time, also milk, confectionery, cigars, sodas, magazines, etc.
The bill providing for the playing of baseball on Sunday between the hours of 2 and 6 in the afternoon also promises to become law.
