SUNDAY DESECRATION.

(To the Editor). Sir,—Some time ago several of the local Chinese were brought before the local Justices at the Police Court, and mulcted in a fine for plying their usual avocation on the Sabbath. Be this justice or persecution, I am not in a position to say. It seems to me very like persecution; or, is it that there are two laws—one for the rich, another for the poor. For instance, one has only to walk out on a Sunday morning in the vicinity of a motor garage, and what meets his gaze? why, half a dozen motor cars with full steam up, and the engineer following his daily avocation with impunity, driving cars for trial spins along the street, dressed in his overalls. Why prosecute the Chinese and allow Europeans to break the laws right in the centre of the town? Surely there is something wrong? Perhaps you can enlighten me, Mr Editor? By inserting this in your valuable paper you will greatly oblige.—l am, ate, '■ AH SIN. Akura, April 2nd, 1909. -
