Sabbath Observance.
Communicated

Communicated
We find people now who carry
their religious scruples so far
that they will not give their
neighbor the right to worship
God in harmony with their con-
victions. Religious liberty is one
of the fundamental principles of
our country, The U. S. Consti-
tuition says, in Article 1: "Con-
gress shall make no laws respect
ing an establishment of any re-
ligion or prohibiting the free ex-
ercise thereof" The constitu-
ton of North Dakota is in full
harmony with this. 1t says in
Art. l, Par. 4: "The free exer-
else and enjoyment of religious
profession and worship without
any discrimination or preference
shall be forever guaranteed in
this state, and no person shall be
rendered inas .etent to be a
witness or juror on account of
his opinion on matters of relig-
ious belief"
In our state we find a mum Der
of earnest Christians who believe
it their duty to keep the seventh
day OF the week as Sabbath. See
Ex. 20, 8-11. Our laws gives
them a full right to keep that day
and work on.Sunday. Our Penal
Code says the following In regard
to the Sabbath:
Par. 684O. Sabbath Breaking
Enumerated.-The following are
the acts forbidden to be done on
the first day cf the week. the
doing of any of which is Sabbath
breaking:
l. Servi1e work.
2. Public sports.
3. Trades, manufacture and
mechanical employment.
a. Public traffic.
S. Serving process.
Par. 6S41. Servile Labor Pro-
hibited.-All manner of servlle
labor on the first day of the week
is prohibited. excepting works of
necessity or charity.
Par. 6842. Defense of Other
Day Observed.-It is sufficient
defense in proceedings for SER
vile labor on the first dav of the
week to show that the accused
uniformly keeps another day of
the week as holy time, and does
not labor on that day, and that
the labor complainedof was done
in such a manner as not to inter-
rupt or disturb other persons in
keeping the first day of the week
as holy time.
Par. 6S43. Public Sports Emu
merated.-All shooting, horse
racing, gaming or other sports
upon the first day of the week
are prohibited.
May this help us to see that
our neighbor has as much right
to his religious ideas as we have
to ours.

The business man who does
not advertise does not alone lose
in the long run, but he is not
helping his town to any extent.
1t is not so much the benefit he
Immediately derives from his ad-
vertising, but there is a much
higher object in view. Not long
ago, while in another city in this
state, the writer was talking to a
business man who had recently
come to that state to 20 into busi-
ness. He was asked why he
came to that particular town, and
he said that he had gotten hold of
some copies of the local papers
and was instantly struck by the
large representation of the busi-
ness men in the advertising COL
umns. He made up his mind
that town that had so many
progressive business men must
be a good town. lie forthwith
went there and esta blished him
self. He swelled the advertising
columns of the papers, and at
last reports was doing good
business. And that town spoken
of is'a hummer, and every week
families are moving there to
make their future homes. The
advantages that it offers are not
above those that other towns en-
joy, but it is constantly adver-
tised through it's merchants

Watkins made several bad breaks
at Benton in his first tilt with an
opponent, his belittling the press
being particularly ilLconsidered.
His attack on Blanchard was alto
gether uncalled for, and while
Blanchard was perhaps justified in
hitting back, it was not necessary,
as he could well have afforded to
ignore it. The candidates have al
said they would conduct the cam
paign on . digni6ed plane, and we
hope to see them keep to this prom
Use. If there are any flaws to be
found in candidate the press will
probably let it be known, and the
candidates had better leave that

State Superintendent Calhoun.

State Superintendent J. v. Cal
houn was in Colfax yesterday, and
while here interviewed the editor
of the Chronicle relative to the
comments in our issue of August
9Th, wherein we stated that he
should at once proceed to explain
and refute certain charges alleged
against him or step down and out
of the procession as q candidate.
We stated the information on which
we based our comments. He ex-
planned to us that the charges to
which we referred we're but the
echo of a matter that occurred four
years ago, and which had already
been investigated, and proven to be
without foundation. He assures
us that the subject has been refer
red to Gov. Heard and others in
authority, and that they have been,
or will be thoroughly satisfied as
to his conduct Mr.. Calhoun i'm
pressed rs as being sincere and
honorable in his statement, which
we believe to be true, as it can be
verified by any one disposed to in
vestigate the circumstances.
We have no personal feeling in
this matter, and no further interest
than to discharge our duty in pro-
tecting the public welfare, and feel
sorry that our comments which
seem to have been based on very
small foundation should have caus-
cd Mr.. Calhoun SO much concern
and trouble.

uesday, the 9th inst. The capital
stock Of this company consists Of
400 shares. OF these 851 shares were
represented at the meeting either in

this special meeting was to increass
the capital stock, and the advisabili-
ty Of increasing the Capital stock was
fully discussed in the meeting. The
company realized some time ago that
the cost Of constructing and equip
ping the plant would be about $780,

whether II would be better to 60 IN
debtor the amount in excess of $4O,-
600, or to increase the capital stock
and in that way pay for the plant
outright. A very decided majority
OF the stockholders were in favor Of
increasing the capital stock for the
reason that they wanted the mill to
go into business free of membranes.

BAR OBJECTS
TO CHANGES
Protests Against
the Mitchell
Bills.

The Bar Association Of Hawaii will
forward to Washington a protest
against the passage Of the Mitchell
amendment to the Organic Act which
provides that writs OF error and APP
peals from the final decision of the
Territorial Supreme Court shall be al
lowed and may be taken to the Su-
preme Court of the United States in
the manner and under the same regu-
lations and in the same cases as In
judgments and DEGREES Of the Supreme
Courts of the territories in all cases
where the amount involved exceeds
$4,000. The opinion of the Bar Asso-
citation at it's quarterly meeting held
yesterday afternoon was practically
unanimous, only the objection Of F. NJ.
Hatch, presented by S. M. Ballou, be-
ing recorded directly against the pro-
test. with a tentative objection by Mr..
Ballou.
The Bar Association also took the
same course of objection with the Nit
chell amendment which provides that
judges on the Supreme Bench shall be
citizens either of the Territory of Ha-
wall or of some state or territory of
the United States, instead of the ELI
gibility being confined, under the Or
ganic Act, to citizenship in the Islands.
The Organic Act provides that APP
pointees to the bench shall be citizens
only of the Territory of Hawaii.
The first protest will be made by the
Bar Association only. That against
the amendment on appointments to
the bench will be made by commercial
bodies of the Territory, the Bar Asso-
citation taking the initiative. The
Chamber of Commerce. Merchants AS
ISOLATION, Builders and Traders Asso-
citation, will be included as the signers
of the second protest.
