WASHINGTON, May 26.-Opinions
here in official as we'll as unofficial
circles is that the Worlds Fair is to be
open Sundays despite any obstacle
that may be interpoSed. The religious
assemblies in convention here-the
Presbyterian assembly and the
Methodist Epwor h ieague-are con-
WINGED that despite al their protests
the fair Will be opened Sundays. They
are preparing to adopt resolution
or memorials for presentation to
the President and will no doubt
m IKE an aFpeal to him to exercise au-
to ratio authority in the matter.
They are averse to the plan of
submitting the question to the
courts and talk as if they expect the
federal authorit es to resort to force to
prevent Sunday open ng. But their
addit onal appeals will not avail. At
torney-General Olnev is being deluged
with protests against submitting the
con reverted question to the courts
and most of these protests come from
religious leaders or bottles.

Iberville South, Of Plaqnemine :
Some parents have q habit of keeping
their chrildren from school upon
every little pretext. They should
remember that in keeping their
chrildren from school, they not
only injure the child, but also the
child's class. Children, who are
often absent from school, never learn
anything and parents who want their
chrildren to remain at home four
days of every week to chores, should
keep them their altogether.
