We strictly believe in local option. If the people of any village feel that all must go to church or be expelled from the community, then let them be the judges. To place a viscious law of this character upon the statute books is nothing less than criminal and will result in no good. We would like to ask Representative Shelley, why small cities chained with blue laws never increase in population! Why do not the touted good people flock to such places in order that their souls may be saved! Surely, every one wants to go to heaven!
