MORNING, DECEMBER 10, 1928

We copy the following article from the Sa'.
timore American, edited by gentleman well
known AID esteemed in Alexandria.
Having come to tho determination Of closing
our Office, and of suspending all labor in !! on
the Sabbath day, we deem it proper to INFORM
our readers and advertising friends OF Inc iac'.
The custom OF working in morning newspaper
Offices upon the Sabbath, il we mistake mol, had
its origin in this country at those evenliui Pc
RODS or our history, when our existence as
nation was involved in doubt, and when the re-
CENT of important intelligence presented plea
of necessity for an occasional encroachment on
that dav. But whatever may have given rise 10
the custom, il is melancholy truth that OF
late years il has become so common, that at
present the ordinary labors OF the morning
newspaper Office are prosecuted as regularly on
the Sabbath, as on any other day OF The week.
Now we apprehend, anG, indeed, feel confident,
that every reader who bps'ows moments re-
Election on the subject, will agree with US, that
there can lie no necessity for such state Of
things; no plea nor excuse whatever Tor 'hls
habilual and regular violation OF the Divine
Commandment which e1joins US 10 keep holy
The SABBATH day," and 10 "do no manner of work"
thereon, as plainly as it declares "Ihou shall do
no murder" We have endeavoured, Tor some
time past, SO to arrange affairs that as little
labour as possible might be performed here on
Sunday; but the attempt has proved as might
be readily supposed, futile and unsatisfactory;
and we have therefore come to the conclusion
that it is only by an entire and conscientious
suspension Of the ordinary business OF this oi>
fee ON the Sabbath, that we can he just either
TO ourselves, or those in our employ. Acc ord
ing 10 this determination, the paper which is
sues on Monday morning, will be closed on the
preceding Saturday night, instead Of being
kept open for the mails which arrive on Sunday.
Thus enjoying the privileges Of the Sabbath in
common with all other classes Of the commu-
nifty, we shall come to our duties at the open.
ing Of The week with renewed energy and zeal
for their efficient and faithful discharge. This
arrangement, we wish our readers to be assur-
| ed shall not cause them 10 be in arrears with
any intelligence OF interest which The Sunday
mails may bring; as j, is our intention 10 issue
| such intelligence in an extra-sheet, al an early
hour on Monday morning.
Our readers must agree with us, that this is
an example worthy of imitation. We know
no, whether we could with safety pursue the
| same course: we would like 10 know what our
subscribers think Of it. There is one suggestion
we would take ,hi, opportunity Of making, and
tina, is the proprie,y of our advertising custom
crs handing in their favors on Saturday, in the
day time, ii they wish them to appear on Mon
day. Printers are compelled to WORK ON THE
SABBATH constantly. We hope our friends
will consider this.

CONGRATULATIONS.
For the Lancaster Gazette.

Wh& has Governor Lincoln done, that
attempts are making to set him aside? Is
| it becaise he has fearlessly and independ-
emily exercised his honest opinion? A man
who would do otherwise is unfit for so high
a station l gave him my vote last year, and
if / am able to attend town meeting, he shall
have it tbs year. The Warren Bridge Bill,
about Which there is SO much talk, was last
year Objectionable, for there was no provi-
sion madb that 1t should euer be bniH. The
bill this year was presented in different
shape, andfor that reason the Governor sign
ed it, and put an end to further waste of mo-
ney MUSCLES debate on that subject. 1.-THE
governmentsee cause to grant q charter for
a bridge to one set of men, for their profit,
as well as for the public good, does it follow
that Others should not be INDUCED, who are
willing to build one free OF tolls! Talk
about violating the public faith--it is all idle.
Did the Legislature stipulate with the pro-
prietors of the old bridge that no other
should ever be made over Charles River, or
that no other Bank, Turnpike, or Cotton
Factory, should have charter but the first !?
If there are men who will undertake to
make bridges and turnpikes, they do it at
their own risk. My neighbour complained
bitterly to me, about his concern in turn
pike road, that it was made at a great ex-
pense, and it was of no kind of profit, for
short time after it was finished another
turnpike was made near that. The conse-
quence was, that he experienced a great
loss, and others were nearly ruined. Not
withstanding, told him the charter remain
ed good, and without any violation ofpublic
faith
Let those who are disposed make free
bridges and free roads; the farmers who
have to use them to carry their produce to
market will be very grateful for their public
spiritedness, for really they have trouble
and expense enough to get there without
paying tolls.
Now, if the farmers are all of my mind,
they viii turn out at April meeting, and
gives their votes for our old Governor, LEVI
LINCOLN. AN OLD MAN.
