BLUB LAWS AND SUNDAY
Most, if not all, argument to be In
telligent depends on the definition of
the terms used. 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.

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

"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. John Iluskln.

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,

"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." Benjamin Franklin.
