GRESHAM DAY AT

AGITATION OVER
SUNDAY CLOSING
By L. H W ELLS.
PORTLAND, Nov. 1.— S pecial.—
S enator Dan K ellah er is a crim in al,
a law -b reak er and a friend of a n a r ­
chy, according to th e sta te m en t m ade
by Itev. G. L. T ufts, su p e rin te n d e n t
of th e Rest Day League, in his ad ­
dress Sunday m orning befo re th e
congregation of the E ast Side llap-
tis ch u rch , for th e reason he keeps
his grocery sto re open on S unday in
open defiance of the law he o u g h t to
help enforce.
Rev. T u fts spoke in b eh alf of a
rest day in the seven of th e week,
and was u n sp arin g in his d e n u n c ia ­
tion of S en ato r K ellah er and som e
o th ers, whom he said had been co n ­
victed of violation of law, an d of th e
ju d g e th a t had been "friendly to
these c rim in a ls.”
Rev. T u fts, said th at th e m ovem ent
for one rest day In th e seven was a
n atio n al-w id e m ovem ent, n ot only
for a day se t ap a rt for w orship anil
q uiet, hut for rest for th e business
man and the lab o rer, and d eclared
th a t th e Sabbath day was m ade for
man. lie said th a t it was n o t in ­
tended to in frin g e upon th e opinion
of any one class and th a t th e m ove­
m ent would not conflict w ith the
Seventh Day A dventists who hold
S atu rd ay as th e ir Sunday nor with
th e Jew ish S abbath, and will be in
no wise a union of ch u rch an d sta te .
"T h is m ovem ent will not in frin g e
on th e civil o r religious lib e rtie s of
any o n e,” said Rev. T u fts, " b u t in
accordance with th e co n stitu tio n ot
th e sta te , th e fo u n d atio n of w hich is
religion, m orality and ed u catio n , the
co rn ersto n e of th e s ta te ."
‘‘We have seen th e past week th e
spectacle of a m an elected s ta te sen
a to r convicted of v io latin g th e S u n ­
day closing law, a m an elected by th e
people to m ake and enforce th e laws
of th e s ta te , openly defying th e law ,”
declared Rev. T ufts.
T his man was
a convicted crim in al and receiving
a m inim um sentence by a friendly
co u rt, who denounced the men who
w ere try in g to enforce the law a-
stool pigeons.
T his is certain ly a
critical condition in th is sta te when
men who a re try in g to uphold anil
enforce th e law a re c h a racterize d ¡is
stool pigeons by th e co u rt. T his man
ad m itte d th a t he had broken th e law
and was a crim in al. It would be a
g re a t ca lam ity to b reak down th is in ­
s titu tio n of th e one day rest in the
seven. It would seem th a t h ere is an
o p p o rtu n ity for th e use of th e recall
when a s ta te s e n a to r b reak s th e law
