From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for July 1, 1911:

• “Patrons of the Lawrence post office have had no complaint to make regarding the order which keeps the carrier windows closed on Sundays. Very few persons go to the post office at all on Sunday, though it is understood that if notice is previously given it is possible to obtain one’s mail at the general delivery window, which is open for two hours during the day. Even business firms have found that they can wait until Monday. Going to the post office was popular more for the stroll it afforded than for anything else. The mail itself was not important. Since the current post office order, persons returning from church have found it just as cozy to take their walk in some other direction. The only two persons who asked at the general delivery for their mail Sunday were Sunday School Superintendents, a statement that is printed as news and not as criticism.”
• “J. R. Greenlees has just returned from a several weeks’ visit in England and tells many interesting things about that country and the life and affairs of the people there. He was much impressed by the old buildings of England and says that to a westerner it is all very interesting. Mr. Greenlees says that the people are very hospitable and that he was well entertained during his stay there.”
• “Quiet reigns supreme at the police headquarters this morning. Not once during the long night did the phone ring urging some brave exponent of the law to hurry out to a certain number to disburse a band of robbers. Yes, the entire night passed without a robbery, at least there were none reported.”
