Guest ) ORGANIZED SABBATARIANISM STRICT Sabbatarianism seems to be organizing ir. a very comprehensive way in all parts of the country. The Rev. Wilbur F. Crafts of the International Reform bureau, an active lobbyist and propagandist at Washington, is in the fore- j ground, but the principal agency seems to be the Lord's Day al liance, whose secretary is the Rev. Harry Bowlsby. The Rev. Bowlby asserts that sixteen denominations indorse the move ment, while a seventeenth, the Lutherans, "are with us." "Only the Roman Calholics, the Unitarians, the Seventh Day Advent ists, and the Jevrs are outside this movement," he told an inter viewer for the Philadelphia Public Ledger. In this interview, which appeared last fall, the Rev. Bowlby was quoted to the following effect: " "We are well financed. Our lobby at Washington will be an effective and experienced one. We shall work in every con gressional district in every state. We shall agitate and spread propaganda and cause voters to write unceasingly to their lep rcsentatives in congress until no congressman who cares to stay in congress will dare refuse to vote for our measures. These were the methods used by the Anti-Saloon league, and they were effective." A hint bf easy and rapid organization is here given. The men and women who had paid employment in the prohibition move ment find that occupation gone, but the Sabbatarian movement can take them over and make use of their skill and experience. Thus a complete organization, nation-wide, is available at little effort. The W. C. T. U. has taken an interest also. The spirit of the movement seems to be expressed in the inter view with the Rev. Bowlby already quoted. Here is the pro gram as reported in the Ledger interview :. "We propose to pass no blue laws. There are no such things as bluelaws never were. And we propose, by legislation, to make it easier for people to go to church. In other words, we shall try to close the baseball parks, the golf links, the motion picture and other theatres, the concert halls, the amusement parks, the bathing beaches and so on. We shall fight all amuse ments where an admission fee is charged. We shall oppose golf, tennis, baseball, football, and other sports, even if purely amateur and void of financial cost to those watching or taking part because they set bad examples for children who might oth erwise be content to go to Sunday school. We shall seek to re strict the sale of gasoline for pleasure automobiles, and urge other measures that will stop Sunday automobiling and joy rid ing. This will not brine the old fashioned horse and buergy back, because we believe that the Lord's day should be a day of rest for man and beast. Excursion steamer rifies on Sunday will be opposed by us on the ground moral welfare of Christian America. We also learn that the Rev. Bowlby sees no reason why pub lie libraries or art galleries should remain open on Sunday, and not only are Sunday newspapers to be abolished but "we shall seek to establish a censorship over the stuff that gets into them on other days." The reader who is inclined to smile at this as a' futile fanati cism is not wise. There is a very large part of our population which does not have access to Sunday recreations, newspapers, libraries and art galleries. In rural districts and small towns this is the case where tradition and social custom are yielding but slowly to modern conceptions of what is wholesome and permissible. Men are usually willing to prohibit to others what they do not care for themselves, and it is easy to rouse our moral enthusiasm for imposing upon our neighbors a code which is satisfactory to us. Respect for freedom of conscience ha3 not marked our history at all times since the men and women who left England in the seventeenth century ior the freedom of wor ship in their own way persecuted those within their gate3 who asked no more than the same freedom. This is the twentieth century and not the seventeenth, but the disposition to tyrannize over our fellow men under the guise of religion and morality has not disappeared. One would think that freedom of conscience needs no defense in America in our day, but it does, and the Sabbatarian movement proves it. That defense cannot be allowed to rest with the public intelligence. It needs as thorough organization and as active propaganda as Sabbatharianism is employing.

(BT LOUIS P. KIRBT. International News Service Staff Correspondent. MEXICO CITY, Sept. 26 Econo mists in Mexico are flmVng that ex periments in protection call for ns much caution as experiments In chem istry. The latest experiment to fail was protection of the flour mills. The gov ernment has now decided to remove the new import duty on flour, begin ning October 1. Millers, among whom are many In fluential men in Mexico, a few months ago appealed to the government for relief, saying that because of the high price of wheat In Mexico they were unable" to operate with a profit and compete with the cheaper flour ship ped here from foreisn mills. Accordingly ,a decree was issued re quiring importers to pay duty on ship ments of flour. This proved satisfac tory to millers and wheat growers, but was not so pleasing to bakers and con sumers, especially as Mexico's crop shortage threatens high food prices this fall and winter. Conviction that Mexico will need foreisn flour and from the bargain counter this winter, it is said, has caused the decision to remove the import duty. Many other steps have been taken to prevent. If possible, d stress during the coming winter and to stimulate in dustry, one of these was the reduc tion of the export duty on homorimn from six to two cents. This was in the ! ho;e of improving conditions in Yu catan and neighboring states, where there is at present great depression, due to stagnant industry and the agi tation of radicals. Oil Crisis. But the government has refused to reduce the export tax on metals, and this has caused surprise, as hundreds of silver mines, which made efforts to r?sume operations during the past year, have been closing down because of alleged inability to meet expenses and pay the present taxes. When the refusal of the government was announced at the office of Secre tary of the Treasury de la Tuerta, it was explained that both Germany and Rusaia were preparing to coin vast amounts of silver currency and that this gave assurance of an advance In the price of the metal. If the advance in silver comes and is large enough to stimulate active production on a large scale, it will be a great relief to Mexico, as thousands of miners are reported to be in idle ness in the mining states. Still another advance is needed, and that is in oil. The present suspension of industry in the oil fields in the vi cinity of Tampico has had a far reaching effect and will he felt more poignantly as winter approaches. Practical suspension of oil exporta tion has deprived the Mexican govern ment of an important source of reve nue, and this revenue :s badly needed. With the income from the oil fields, the Mexican government has been able to do much to relieve conditions in many sections by carrying on pub lic work. And it will be hard to con tinue this work without the returns from the oil fields and at the same t ine meet other expenses. Tampico and its surrounding terri tory have also given employment to thousands who have been unable to get work in their own sections of Mex ico, and if these thousands mwt acat ter through the country it w'.u increase local problems, which are already se rious enough in many cases. In addi tion to this, Mexico is not so far re moved from the days of revolution that It need not feel uneasy about hav ing a large element that Is idle, dis contented and needy. Americana Vind'catpd.

COMEDY ej shipments the cry was raised that it was unwarranted action by Ameri can oil producers to force terms from the Mexican government, but now that Dutch, English and other foreign producers in the Vera Cruz fields are unable to ship it is admitted here that the shutdown was due to economic and not political causes. Oil men here say that the big com panies in the region of Tampico are showing their honesty of purpose by continuing development and drilling new wells in preparation for the time when it will be possible to resume shipments of oil on a large scale. Complaint has been made here and in other cit es that collections are be ing made for famine sufferers in Iluy a and other countries when Mexico has problems which will tax the intel ligence and generosity of the nation, unless great changes take place be tween now and the coming w inter. j -National Ix-aguc SlnmllnSM W.
