and such. Now while this old law has been cuscarcieci,
there are still many things that cannot be done on Sun
day that in themselves are harmless. For instance:
plays that are clean and gladly attended on week days
are taboo on Sundays. There is an exception made in
business affairs as to those whose religious beliefs cause
them to observe some day other than Sunday, but for the
fellow who has little or no religious belief, and there are
many of them, there is no exception. We are not finding
fault with these things but simply calling attention to
them.

not even convince the fellow whose head is punched,
and in this case Lawson might prove the superior punch

The action of those misguided women in Washington
who are picketing the white house and making a show of
themselves, brings the blush of shame to every real
friend of suffrage. Last year at election time these same
eastern women came out wrest to tell the women who had
achieved suffrage what they should do to achieve it for
those back east, who by their actions are demonstrating
they are unworthy of it.

The famous "hone dry" bill has at last materialized,

representative Anderson. It has an emergency clause,
but at this writing it being sent to the printer cannot be

however, that it does not contain a search and seizure
clause, but has an emergency proviso that will make it
effective so soon as it is signed by the governor.
The pope will not make any efforts toward peace other
than to pray for it. The warring nations do not seem to
object to interference in their affairs so long as no other
power than God is asked to take a hand. Evidently they
are not strongly impressed with the belief that He will
pay much attention to prayer, as both sides are, and have
been since the war started, asking divine blessing on the
work of killing the other fellows.
After the prohibition bill has been passed maybe the
work of the legislature will not seem so dry.
