to. the use of motor cars because of the magnificent distances
here and for the further reason travel conditions are favorable
during the greater portion of the year. The automobile and
the truck are here to stay and tlj.ey are going- to stay. like some
other lines of business the industry has gone through a period, c

THE ELUE LAWS
(By Dr. William E. Barton)
JUST now there is frequent reference to the "Blue Laws."
These references are often accompanied by the "assertion
that in Puritanical Connecticut, and perhaps in other colo
nies under the Puritan regime, it was a penal offense for a man
to Kiss his wife on Sunday. . 1
''. There is. indeed, a record in the Massachusetts courts of a
man's having been accused of kissing his wife in public upon
the Sabbath; but the code of laws which made it an otlense lor
& man either privately or publicly to kiss his wife upon the Sal
&ath is supposed to have been a Connecticut creation. It is as
sumed to have been a part of the original law of Connecticut in
1639. ' ;
It is.snfe to say that no one who makes these affirmations or
allusions has. ever done the very simple thing of looking in the
nearest general law library to discover whether there ever were
any such laws. x .
J There were no such laws.
1 ! The so-called "Blue Laws of Connecticut" were first publish
ed, not in New Haven in 1639, but in London, 142 years later.
We know the name of the liar who invented the so-called "Blue
Laws." Among his 4-5 statutes were: .
' ".. "IB. No one shall run on the Sabbath-day, or walk in the
parden or elsewhere, except reverently, to and from worehip.
"19. No one shall travel, cook victuals, make beds, sweep
house, cut hair, or shave on the Sabbath-day.
"20. No wortfan shall kiss her child on the Sabbath or fast
ing day.", .
There was more of this sort and there were people m Lon
don in 1781 so devoid of a sense of humor thaf they believed
this nonsense to have been genuine Puritan legislation.
The colonial laws were admittedly severe, and the Sabbath
3 observed there was rigid ; but the "Blue Laws" owe their or
igin to malicious falsehood, and their preservation to unpardon
able ignorance.
ONE of President Harding's first acts has been to prepare
a message to the senate urging ratification of the treaty
with Colombia under which we pay that republic $25,
000,000 for having taken the Panama canal zone. This treaty
was urged upon the senate by President Wilson for several
years, lt'calls for a simple act of justice and fair ; play. The
treaty should have been ratified long ago and would have been
ratified save for a misguided notion in the senate that the senate
should play president as well as senate. Let it be hoped the
new executive will have his way upon this subject. : Our gov
ernment cannot expect to carry due prestige abroad so long as
the senate follows pettifogging tactics with reference to subjects
vitally affecting our international affairs. ' ' ,

rT ins is a queer world and some queer things are revealed in
I the day's news. For instance, at a, time when business is
stow and starving people in various parts of the earth are i
trying for food, a 15,000 funeral was held in New York City.
The chief figure in the ceremony was laid to rest in a $4000 ,
silver casket a room in the funeral chapel was banked to the
ceiling with flowers that cost $2006; there were 150 carriages1
in the funeral procession and they cost another $2000 and two
bands provided music.for the occasion. In view of such an out
lay of cash it would be easy to surmise that some millionaire had
passed away. Not so. The man upon whom all this grandeur
was bestowed was the son of an Italian shoemaker. Can you !
beat it? - ,
AN EXECUTIVE DUTY
1
rn HERE are reports from Washington that a group of sena
, E tors desires to prevent the appointment of Col. Harvey as
ambassador to England. But the constitution gives the
president the power to name his ambassadors. That power is
not lodged in congress and the senate Should not try to infringe
on the plain duties of the executive. Whether or not Harvey is
a good man to be sent to England is not the question. If Tresi
dent Harding wants him as ambassador. he should be named.
The senate has ample duties of its own to attend to without try
ing to run the executive department of the government. .
