Talk of the Times.

The following editorial from the Gree
ley Tribune, regarding Sunday ball
games, appears to be worth reading:
The matter of Sunday base ball is
worrying some of the good people of
Greeley this summer, and an effort is
being made by the ministerial alliance
and others to have it suppressed The
writer has never attended Sunday ball
game nor Sunday theater in his life.
They have no attraction for him on that
day. But he comedies to Others exactly
the same privilege of enjoying themselves
that he exacts for himself This is free
country. The saint and the sinner have
equal rights. So long as the one does
not. encroach upon the liberty OF the
other, both may enjoy themselves in the
manner that suits them best. When the
ball games were played up town near
the stockyards the Tribune opposed
them because they disturbed the peace
and quiet of the vicinity. In obedience
to the popular demand the boys moved
their ball grounds to point north of
the city and farther out, where practi-
cally nobody is disturbed. Having done
this they are as much entitled to their
sport as is the preacher to expound the
gospel as he sees it.
There are people who think the world
would be better off if there were neither
preacher, churches, bible or religion
There are others who feel that the man
who doesn't attend church twice on Sun
day and prayer meeting Wednesday
nights and believe the bible implicitly
from cover to cover is eternally damned
in this life and the life to come and that
the man who doesn't accept the ortho-
dox religion has no rights nor privileges
which others are bound to respect They
would gladly re-enact the old blue laws
OF the Puritan days here in Greeley
Both are wrong. The Master of the
Universe in His wisdom gave each OF us
different mind. No two people hold
exactly identical views, even among SO
called orthodox church members. How
futile then, and how unjust, for part of
US to attempt to force our views and our
beliefs and our plan of living upon the
rest OF mankind. II we believe we have
message for man, let Us tell it and tell

Lightning's Queer Franks.

Lightning Saturday afternoon struck
Jacob Epler's house, giving Mrs. Epler Il
bad scare. The guy wires attached to a
tall stovepipe distributed the electric
current all over the. building. Follow
ing one wire nailed to corner of the
house the lightning tore through the
siding and plaster and split the head and
footboard of bedstead standing in the
corner of the room. Following another
wire it jumped to and ran down wire
window screen and split the window cas-
ing but did no damage to the interior of
the room. Mrs. Epler was the only oc-
cupant of the house at the time it was
struck.
