Boosting is one thing, and knocking is another. The carpenters’ hammers heard during the six days of the week denotes growth and signifies that some one is materially boosting; someone is helping to make the town bigger and better. But suppose some good citizen should visit the town on a Sunday and find that cessation of work had lessened none because of the day. Do vou sup pose he would like to bring his family to the town. Why do men of worth with families ask if there is a school and church in the town. Is it through idle curiosity? Not much. They want to ¡earn the moral aspect of the town. What will they think then if the town has seven full working days in each week—no respect for Sunday. Will he expect to rind tlie moral standard of the town sufficiently high enough that he might locate there. Our opinion is that, there is no more effective way to retard the growth of a town or to knock its progress and prosperity than to do your building on Sunday. LIVE HONESTLY.

This argument can no longer hold good. The supreme court has knocked it completely out.
