Modern Glue Laws Stir Debate Over Sunday Recreation
The San Antonio mayor opposes enforcing laws that would close movies, ice cream parlors, and other Sunday amusements, arguing recreation is vital for the poor. The piece contrasts Puritan zeal with modern restrictions, noting how bans affect parks, theaters, and newsstands, and defends the public’s right to Sunday leisure. It also touches on political scandals involving Mr Sulzer and Tammany Hall, plus Texas pride tied to San Antonio and the cradle of Texas liberty.
