Mondays with Mencken: Sunday Laws pt 2
The wowsers of the Lord’s Day Alliance, of course, are fond of denying that it is theological passion which animates them.  Their wiskinski, the chemically pure Dr. W. W. Davis, has often given out interviews saying that they long only to preserve the poor workingman’s weekly day of rest, and have no desire to drag him to the mourner’s bench.  But that assurance is too thin to deceive anyone, and the wowsers themselves always forget it

Originally Published in 1932. Twice during the past week of so we have been entertained by amusing and instructive spectacles in the field of moral endeavor.  First a small but impudent band of professional wowsers here in Baltimore, doing business under the name of the Lord’s Day Alliance, spent three solid days in court trying to prevent the people of the town from deciding what sort of Sunday laws they want.  And then a larger and even mor
