THE CLOSING QUESTION.

The present aspect of the Sunday
closing of the Worlds fair question
does not involve its ethical aspect in the
slightest degree.
Congress passed an act regarding the
fair, n section Of which provided that
the gates should not be opened on
Sunday.
Either congress had authority to
make this law or it did not. If it had
such authority the law should be up
held with all the force at the govern.
ment's command.
The Chicago directory has squeezed
all the money possible out of the
national treasury, and has systemat-
ically ignored and thwarted the govern
ment's plans and wishes regarding the
fair.
The present status of the question of
Sunday opening involves, therefore, the
authority of congress as against the
authority of the Chicago directory, or
even the authority Of the national CON-
missioners.
There is but one course open to the
government officials. They must keep
the gates to the Worlds fair closed on
Sunday, il it has to be done at the
point of the bayonet.
After the law of the United States has
been vindicated and the authority of
congress fully recognized, the ethical
value of the opening of the fair on
Sunday may fairly be considered. Not
before.

A GOOD DEAL Of nonsense is being

the president will neither call out a reg.
