Remembering this we have restrained our first impulse to take issue with Mr. Purdy when he says, as in our Friday issue, that "the 'blue laws' were never the laws of any state." It may be that "blue laws", as he defines them, never have been laws, but there is no doubt but that in some jurisdictions there nave been statutes to which the name "blue laws" has been given. And, indeed, we are inclined to believe even that "blue laws" as he defines them have existed. Mr. Purdy says that "blue laws" were originated by Dr. Samuel Pet ers and never actually existed. An other authority says that was the first belief, but that confirmation of the Peters statements has been found. We quote: "Formerly these laws were supposed to have been mostly maliciously invented by Pet ers, but nearly all of them have now been found in the New Haven sta tutes or in the works of one Neal, an earlier writer than Peters." However, it is immaterial whether the Peters "blue laws" have or have rot existed. Certain so-called "blue laws" have been in force. There is no doubt of that, nor of the fact that they have related chiefly to the re ligious observance of the sabbath day. And there has been, as Mr. Purdy says a widespread idea that an attempt was to be (made to re introduce them. We trust that he is correct in his statement that there Js no such plan under contemplation. The manner of the observance of the sabbath day has gotten way be yond the churches. For them to seek to Impose their rules on all the peo ple would be a fatal mistake. The fact is that the church has lost its old authority. Great numbers of people whose standards of life and conduct are as high as those of any persons are not guided by any church. They spend their Sundays in ways which to them mean rest and recreation and if the attempt were made to force them Into church going or into the doing or not doing what the church commanded the church would be the loser. We agree with what Mr. Thorp said in The Bulletin on Saturday: Let us be tolerant. Harding says that Hughes, as sec retary of state, will speak for the state department under the new ad ministration That's getting back to normalcy, to say nothing of striking a new note in state department af fairs. A Harvard man has been elected president of Yale. Football at New Haven ought to begin to pick up now. It will not do you any harm to keep on with that prune eating. COMMUNICATIONS CITIZENSHIP UPHELD Bend, Ore., Feb. 21, 1921. To the Editor: In answer to the letter in your issue of the 18th, signed "H. G. C. The writer states that the man arrested on Florida ave nue is a foreigner. As I know him a little, I Bay he is a good American citizen, he being an American citizen n before I ever was born. The undersigned happened to be born abroad also, but I call myself Just as good American citizen as anybody, I being nationalized American citizen as a good many of us are, I wish "IT Q. C." would find out the right thing before making his statements public. I am not writing these in cyder to protect anybody, but to give the old man fuir justice, which we are all en titled to. I do not know what the writer means with "a certain for eigner," when he has been a U. S. citizen for more than 30 years, or does "H. O. C." call us all foreign ers? A BEND CITIZEN. RipplirigRhijinQs A y Wall Mnton :J?b : fe' The Money Flies The money goes in many ways, for things we really do not need, an eight-day clock, a pair of stays, a package of geranium seed. The girl next door has bought a hat that shuts out all the fairest viewrmy "datighter Jxilia weeps thereat and says she'll have to have one, too. My son Augustus comes from school and says that Boggs boy has a bike, and he wants one that he can tool in triumph up and down the pike. My aunt remarks that Mrs. Jones has bought a poodle just from Perth, and she must have a hundred bones to buy a pup of equal worth. We watch the neighbors eagle-eyed, as they watch us, with jealous mind, and if they walk in pomp and pride, we surely shall not lag behind. And so the money goes for frills and curleycues and furbelows, and when I come to pay the bills, in rivulets the briny flows. If I were living in a dell, with neighbors many miles away, I might be doing passing well, and saving kopecks every day. But when some other hermit scout might come there and disturb my plan, and I'd go broke, I have no doubt, to make him seem an also ran. TWO IDEAS OF CIVIL LIBERTY Difference Between Governments of Greece and Rome and Those of the Gothic Tribe. There was this radical difference be tween the governments of Greece and Rome and those of the Gothic tribes. In the former the stute was every thing, the individual nothing ; the state was thought to bave a perfect right to the property, liberty, and even life, of its citizens. In the lat ter the Individual was everything anil the state comparatively nothing; all rights were thought to exist, to Inhere by nature In the individual ; and the state could demand nothing from him for public use without giving him an equivalent. Here we find the funda mental principle of civil liberty ; that principle which has been'so carefully guarded in the EngllKh nnd In all the Anglo-American constitutions,' and which was so happily and tersely ex pressed by Jefferson In the Declaration of Independence. Our rude Siixon an cestors, though under a kingly govern ment, had more real liberty, and a more Jnst appreciation of the true dig nity of man, than had the polished cit izens of the republics of the Mediter ranean. The legislative authority was vested In the witennse-mote, or assem bly of wise men. Pexter A. Hawkins. Remorseful Ghost. A pathetic story Is told of the ghost of Blshum abbey. It Is snld that the wife of Sir Thomas Hobby was un naturally severe with her son. who. it seems, bad a peculiar aversion to wr't Ing, and in his obstinacy would wl'fnl ly blot his copybooks. One day his mother, enraged at his pervernerpss. lost her self-control and beat the pcr hi? so unmercifully that he died from bis Injuries. Since then" one of the bedrooms In the abbey bus been haunt ed by the specter of the cruel woman, who glides through the chamber In the act of washing the bloodstains from her hands. It Is stated that some years ago, when an old window shutter of the slx teeuth century wug remov?d,""a packer of antique copybooks of that period was discovered pushed Into the wall between the Joists of the skirting, and several of these books, on which young Hobby's name was written, were cov ered with blots." Movie Theaters In Rio. It Is at the cinema theaters that the Carlocas (citizens of Itlo de Ja neiro) know real comfort; for, un like our moving-picture houses, those in Itlo have spacious waiting rooms, where you sit, listening to ex cellent music, until the hour for the first reel comes round. The pioneer house of the kind Inaugurated this custom, and now the people refuse to stand outside waiting for the even hour to arrive or to enter after the film has started. With so murb profit able spate taken from the auditorium, the movies In Klo Janeiro are not as greut money-makers as with us. The American favorites are popular, quite outclassing Italian and Brazilian film stars. Harriet Chalmers Adams In Na tional Geographic Magazine. Inspect Moths by Machine, An elaborate machine cnlled the choselkl Is used by the Japanese In the Inspection of silkworms for dls eose. The machine In the Inspection house Of Nagano prefecture requires 2.000 microscopes and a large corps of workers. Moths are made to lay their eggs each on one square of sheets of card hoard bearing 28 numbered squares. They then are killed, their bodies pul verized and examined. If the bacilli are found, the squnre containing the eggs laid by the diseased moths Is cut ont and burned. Japan Advertiser, Potato Flour Mixed With Wheat A fifty-fifty mixture of wheat flour from the United States and potato flour of domestic make has been or dered by the Netherlands government for Its ieople with the hope of keeping down the price of bread. Unless some thing Is done to keep down the price of Imported wheat It will soon be out of the reach of the populace, says the Chicago Journal. Potato stnrch was used a great ileal during the war for the purpose of piecing out the wheat flour supply, and It was not generally acceptable to the people, but potato flour will not be open to the siiine criticism, and It Is anticipated will prove more palatable. Begone Dull Facts. Two friendly little neighbors, aged respectively and 5 years, recently seated themselves on the curbstone near my windows for a religious dis cussion. It seemed they had over heard some grown-ups repenting a recent prophecy of a certain sect ns to the imminent end of the world anil werje greatly exorcised at the report. The elder child, n falr-halred skeptic from a northern state, scornfully de clared that he didn't believe the story; but the swarthy, dark-eyed little Texan solemnly asserted :-"Yes, It's true; I know It's true; foh this mo'uln' I read It In mnh Iilble." The midget doesn't know one letter of the alpha bet from another, but be refuses to he pinned down to vulgar facts when his spirit wishes to soar. Are children of the period brighter than their pred ecessors? At his age I am sure I could not have fibbed with so solemn and convincing an air. Los Angeles Times. ' Malignant Ghost. Last Christmas, a house In Leeds was visited by an 'amazing ghost. A woman, returning home, went Into the kitchen to warm herself at the fire. Suddenly she was startled to see two long while arms emerge from the (lames. Nearer and nearer they came, until they gripped her arms above the elbow. The-touch-was like red hot Iron, and she fell fainting to Qe ground. When she recovered she was surprised to find that there had been no fire In the grater She visited a doctor, who ex amined her arms and found distinct signs of burns. This wns afterward corroborated by another doctor. Lon don Mull. "The Right Kind of Child." Give a little love to a child, and you get a great deal back. It loves every thing near It, when It Is the right kind of child would hurt nothing, would give the best It has away, ttlunys, If you need It does not lay plans for getting everything In the house for It self, nnd delights In helping people; you cannot please It so much as by giving It a chance of being useful, In ever so little a way.

Wuildlngton writes from Algiers to Scrlbner's. It Is quite In tho coun try, five or six kilometers from Al giers, very high up In tho bills. Very few people live In the town nnd the whole hillside Is studded with vl.ln. Moorish almost all, dazzling white, flat roofs nnd narrow windows. Quite at the top, where we ure, there lire some very comfortable Eastern modern houses. I am writing at my window, which gives on a terrace, from which there Is a divine view of the sen and the snow mountains of the DJurjurn, miles away In Kabylle, and from one comer through the faded drooping leaves of the eucalyptus I have a glimpse of the town of Algiers, lying a long, whitu streak far below. The drawing-room Is n delightful room runs all the width of the house, with windows on three sides, so that we always have the sun. The furni ture Is sketchy, not much of It, nnd what there Is Is very ugly, but when the I'urls cases arrive, with a few tables and chairs nnd silver, the room will look very different. There are some carpets In the house, which are absolutely necessary, us all the floors are tiled. However, Charlotte has done wonders with the meager iniite rlal she hits. NATION'S DEBT TO PILGRIMS Their Famous Compact of Government Rightly Treasured as a Great State Document. v In the harbor at the tip of Cape Cod occurred the first birth nnd the first death among the lilgrlms In America. On hoard the Mayflower, as she lay at unchor, was born I'ure grlne, son of William and Susanna White. Here wns unother child for the ship's nursery, ulreudy occupied by little Oceanus Hopkins, who first suw the light of day fur out at sea. The death was that of Dorothy May, wife of William Bradford, future gov ernor of Plymouth colony. Hhe was drowned. First of importance, however, of all that occurred here, and ulso In the sequence of events, was the draw ing up and signing of the famous com pact of government, originally desig nated by liradford In his history as "a combination." And so It wus, In the most literal sense, a combination, This agreement, made in writing by a little group of Kngllshmen who had been dismissed by llielr mother coun try us "good riddance to bad rubbish," Is now treasured hy the nation In America, lo which they contributed as much as one of three greut documents. The other two ore tho Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States.

"Friends, the taxes are indeed very heavy, and if those laid on by the government were the only ones we had to pay we might more easily dis charge them; but we have" many others, and much more grievous to some of us. We are taxed twice as much by our idleness, three times as much by our pride, and four times as much by our folly; and from these taxes the commissioners cannot ease or deliver us by allowing an abate ment."
