We have received from the International

tracts defending the right of men to work on
Sunday, and raising quite howl because
some men have been put in Jail in Queen

would have our heartfelt sympathy, but it is
our opinion that Jail is too good for man
who has chance for a holiday and doesn't
take it. He should go to the penitentiary.
