CLOSING LAW
Dr. Tufts of Portland Addresses Lo
cal ConBrcoatlons In Regard to
Work of Lord's Day Alliance
Started Postofficc Closing.
Hr. G. h. Tufts of Portland nd
drcSHed a Inrpj audience at tho M
K. oliuroli Sunday iiijiht. Ho nls(
upokc at. the Hnptit church i tin
morning. Dr. Tufts is secretary o
thu Iionl's day alliance for Orvgoi
anil California. Tho nllianoe is
national orjiunirnlion, with its head
quarters in New York city. It start
ed the movement for the Sunday
closing or jiostofficcs which ha
Mvcpt the country from ocean U
ovenu. It is working for Sundn
closing of all unnecessary business
and common labor. The speaker sah
in part :
The most fundamental rcforn
needed a Oregon is a Suiulny res'
law. The present law ot the stati
has been declared to bo unconstilu
tionnl by the circuit court at Port
land, nnd it is n poor law at th
best. Two legislatures have rcfuse
to enact nn efficient statute' so tin
friends of the cause arc advocatiin
an initiative vote nt the next genera
election.
Man is so constituted that he re
quires one full day of rest in. seven
It is a sanitary measure, a hygienu
law to which every American citize
is entitled as n natural right, a
much as ho is entitled to his nights
of rest. Men nnd animals can d
more nnd better work laboring onl
six dnys out of the seven, is the die
tium of science. The grocery ston
on Main street which 1 saw open to
day should be placed rindfcr ban, o.
law to protect the rights anA inter
ests of thoso which were closed. Tin
druggists of the stnte are asking t
have their hours for Sunday openinj
confined to about three, frUih 10 tt
1 o'clock. And if the grocer am
mcrchnut close their places of busi
ness, there is no good reason wh;
the proprietor of the theatre am
moving picture show, which are nu
for commercial gain, should not fol
low the same rule. In the light
the history of all southern Europ?
these places of Sunday amusement
aro demoralizing the public consciene
nnd undermining the safeguards o'
our republic. Said De Tocqueville
Franco must have the Americai
Sabbath or, she is ruined.' Under tlu
leadership of her statesmen, Frunci
has re-enacted her Sunday closin1
law which she repealed a quarter id
century ago.
Then there arc 4,000,000 of seve:
day toilers in this free land of ours
Many of them aro compelled to laboi
on Sundays to hold their jobs foi
Monday. Slnves to toil they are, un
der tho lnsh of their employers, am
longing for some Lincoln to striki
their shackles from them and set
them free. To do this is the work
espoused by tho Lord's day alliance.
And in the name of good business
andgood morals1 to restore in tin
public mind tho sacred character ol
this holy day of our forefathers, and
thus prevent its being merged into
the continental holiday Sunday.
OPENING DAY AT LAKE
THROUGHLY ENJOYED
10 ELECTRIFY
MANY FARMS
Griffin Crcckcrs to Join Hands With
County In Construction of Power
Line Over 40 Places Will Receive
Electric Power.
In an enthusiastic gathering at the
district school house recently the
residents of Griffin creek voted
unanimously that their farms should
oo cicciniicu. iiie piau is lo co
operate with the county in the con
struction of n polo lino up Griffin
creek. Tho county rock quarry re
cently opened on the property of the
Griffin Creek Orchard company re
quires electric power to run n crusher
and for lighting purposes.
A committee- composed of Messrs.
Judy, Andrews and McPhert.uu, was
appointed by acting Chairman Rose
to negotiate with the court and Kn
sineer Harmon as to division of the
expense of line construction.
It Is figured that 40 families can
be reached by the proposed polo
line. About 'JO of these were repre
sented nt the meeting nnd all were
unanimous as to the importance of
electrifying their farms.
At the meeting, the telephone sit
uation was also discussed and dra
tic action taken. The two Griffin
creek party lines known as Company
No. 1 and Company No. 1 have been
the eau-e of t.he rise of hud blood
among the Griffin ereekers. Com
pany No. 1 agreed, for n certain an
nual payment, to keep No. li's line in
good order, No. 12 to furnish material
promptly. Members of both com
panies claim that they have not been
treated fairly. As a solution of the
difficulty the line was given over to
a different central company to both
furnish switchboard connections and
keep the line in repair.
