KEEPING HUBBY AT HOME. THE BLUE LAWS. Well wager that more than one Vernonia woman is watching with in terest the announcement that the \ . orgia legislature is .•'bout to pm a 'Jw whereby every husband wou’d iiave to secure the consent of his wife before he could leave the house at night. Such a law is being dis cussed and may, it is said, become ef fective within a short time. Under this system, no doubt, friend wife would.have to issue a passport to hubby when he wanted to go down-town for awhile in the even ing, and maybe, too, she would put the exact hours on that pass, the same becoming void if he failed to get back inside the house within the specified time. If she wanted to en joy his companionship in the evening all she would need to do would be to issue an edict to the effect that ‘’you’re not going bye-bye tonight," and that would set him down at home for the entire evening with his news paper or his book. We can't help wondering how far this new reform will travel—and how many domestic fights it would cause if it actually became a law. Neither can we help wondering how far law makers in the future would go, if this one is passed. Already our state legislatures are making pretty good headway at minding other people’s business, but if a law like this was passed where would they stop? If Georgia passes this bill and enforces it. then we are going to realize just what the old fellow meant when he s.iid away back years ago that "hell's broke loose in Georgia.” Divorce lawyers will flock to Georgia. Daily papers reaching Vernonia are chronicling numerous instances in which the old time "blue laws” arc being enforced. Quite a few of the smaller towns of the country, and especially those where citizens are not on the very best terms with each other, are bringing the old blue laws into effect, with the result that every thing is being closed tight as a drum and life made as dull and monoto nous as it is possible to make it. Sunday observation along sane lines must be encouraged. No one who has the interest of his communi ty at heart is going to argue in fav or of or do anything to promote Sabbath desecration. And yet sens ible people realize that there is such a thing as going to extremes. When business men of a community cease co-operating, and start fighting, it is the worst thing that could happen for the whole town. Just because one makes a dollar needn't excite jeal ousy, because that dollar usually stays right around town and all the others have a chance at a part of it. But to send out word that a stranger is helpless if his auto breaks down or he runs out of gasoline while he is traveling on Sunday is a bad ad for any town. Strangers soon learn to shun that town, to grow sarcastic in their remarks about it, to belittle the enterprise of its citizens and in a dozen other ways give the ntire com munity a black eye. We want to urge church attend ance—even greater than now. We want a quiet, peaceful, law-abiding j community not only on Sunday but the other six days in the week as well. But we don’t want any of our citizens to quit co-operating with each other long enough to lose their heads and imagine that the only way to make people good is to make them unhappy.
