Sabbath Observance.
To the Editor Of The Journal.

To the Editor OF Inc Journal. ~ ~
The question is often asked: Why do SO
few Of the young people attend the church
service?
p We cannot compel people to be religious.
neither can we expect any set rule to
govern all conditions and circumstances.
It is an easy matter for those Of leisure,
with six days in the week to be spent in
pleasure and enjoyment, or as their tastes
may dictate, to observe the Sabbath in
quiet meditation and to attend the church
services. 5
There is another class. Put yourself In
the condition to look on the other side,
and see the laboring people, the bread
earners, going to their offices, or behind
counters, or In the more laborious walks Of
life, toiling early and late for six days OF
the week, with barely the one day for
pleasure and recreation, which Of neces-
sity they must spend in Gods pure air
and sunshine.
Some would put restrictions on them
and undertake to say they must not play
ball or enjoy the day with their families
and friends In relaxation and pleasure.
How can we be so unreasonable?
When T read an article in one Of the
late papers, Of a woman enfolding herself
for protection within the flag and under
taking to stop the game, I thought she
was desecrating the Sabbath more than
those participating in the game. They
certainly were not injuring any one and
| they might otherwise be spending the day
| in much more harmful ways. Until the
government sets aside one day In the week
as a legal holiday for those obliged to
|labor six Of the seven, can we expect
them to give up this one day Of liberty?

follows:
The small grain season. beginning April

binary weather conditions will begin about
July 20.
The present stage of growth above
ground is about the same as year ago,
but conditions are in every way more
favorable now than one year ago, as we
have stronger, deeper root, a heavier.
more uniform growth above ground. The
uniformity Of growth is marked over the
entire line.
The prospects are excellent. In no To-
cality has there been an excess Of pre-
cipitation.
There are two critical times in small
grain production-May and July. We re-
gard May as the most important. A
drought In May has not been unusual, it
has left grain weak and stunted. Partial
recovery with favorable June weather
would leave 1t too weak to Withstand

WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK
The Czechs.
To the Editor Of The Journal.

10 tne EQltor OF Inc JOurua1 Z. "a
take liberty to write to you about Boz
hemianism and Bohemians, as I've read
In your columns something concerning
them. To begin with, the proper name !.
for this people (so-called Bohemians) is
Czechs, Bohemians being nickname.
They are the oldest family Of the Slavic
race, and the word Czechs means the be-
ginning. Their language Is strong and
pronounced by linguists the most COM
pletely developed Of any Slavic tongue and
the one Of all European languages which
can best render Greek and Latin. John
Huss' translation of the Bible did for 1T
what Luther did for the Germans.
But in the seventeenth century, when
the Czechs rebelled against ruling powers,
their literature and language were abol-
ished and books by the thousands de- !
stroyed, and many Of the people were BAN
ished from the country.
Even Sweden, today, has In the Stock
holm library, books printed in the native
tongue, Indicating that the Czech Ian
guage was not born to die. Not only Is
the Czech literature a feature Of the Boz !,
hemian university, but, since the year OF
American independence, it has a. chair In
the University Of Vienna.
The Czechs today are the most intelli-
gent and Industrious of the Slavic tribes
They are the manufacturers Of Austria;
their glassware being noted the world
| over. and their cotton, linen and WOODEN
goods are of very superior quality.
+ They are not only manufacturers and
agriculturists, but musicians and poets OF
no mean order. Today England has a
| symbol the three ostrich feathers, taken
from the blind king Of Bohemia, when
lying dead on the battlefield. The Black
| Prince took them; the blind king was
helping France against England.
Previous to July 6, 1855, the English
pound was in use. On that date the con-
tinental congress established the dollar.
altho the exact weight was not fixed until
| Aug. s, 1856, when it was made to equal
\ a Spanish dollar. The dollar did not origi-
nate with the Spanish, but was first coined
| at Joachinsthal, a mining town in Bo-
| hernia. =. --s. -gg
The Czechs were a prosperous people
and are today, altho not so strong in num-
bers. When they were overthrown, every
other nation came and stole their gold and
took away whatever they could lay hands
on. The Czechs you will find historic
| people. s.. -s.,-. ~. H. ...
/ You also stated that the French asso-
| cate the so-called Bohemians with the
| gypsies. have found out Of my own ex-
| perience that If you go and ask a French
man for the Bohemians you will be taken
to a large gypsy encampment, but ask
for the Czechs and you will be taken to
one of the finest places in France. The
1 French gypsies have nothing to do with
| the Czechs, so-called BohemianS.

men out to bring in the registration
for the republicans and these charges
are said to be well founded-so much
so that some of the workers are al
ready declaring Floyd Daggett to be
as good as elected
1t is also to be proved that Ed
Sanders is a candidate selected by
Chairman Dick Nuzum of the demo-
cratic county central committee. The
Nuzums are credited with handling
the primary campaign for Sanders
and it is to the democratic county
boss that Sanders goes for his advice
and political tips.
The sensation of the day, however,
was the announcement that d. T.
Ham had passed up w. Fl. Acuff and
that C. p Lund had been selected in
Chairman Hams stead to manage the
campaign of the Spokesman-Revie
candidate.
Chairman Ham was due for talk
at the meeting of the Acuff people
last night describing the small
chances of the Spokesman-Review
candidate being elected, if nominate
but for some reason the speech was
not made and Mr.. Hams name was
not among those present.
1t was reiterated today that w. H.
Acuff would withdraw as soon as
he arrived, which will be some time
this week.

If hoops do not come off of
that Sanders barrel tonight there is
likely to be new chairman of the
republican city central committee
after the meeting of that body called
for this evening. -.
The movement to depose Chairman
Ed. Sanders was started yesterday
and based on two things. One was
that Sanders was not using the
money with which he is blessed as a
good candidate should, and the other
was that he, as chairman, was hold
ing back the organization in an effort
to throw the whole machinery to
himself as candidate for the nomina-
ton for mayor.
The workers of the committee start
ed in for a meeting last night but
the chairman, learning what was
about to happen, switched the date
of the meeting to tonight. Even at
that, if there had been a quorum
present the chairman would have
been deposed.
Tonight the people who are aceus-
ing Sanders of sacrificing the party
work in order to boom his own cam
didacy are determined to bring him
to account and try to put in another
chairman.
The charges to be made against
Sanders include his laXity in getting

Y. w. G. A. JUBILEE

LONDON, April 4.-There will be
notable demonstration at the Royal
Albert hall tomorrow when the arch
bishop of Canterbury and other dis
tinguished persons. clerical and lay,
will gather to celebrate the jubilee of
the Young Womens Christian associ-
alton. Just SO years have elapsed
since the establishment of the associ-
alton in England. 1t began at the
period when a great impetus was be-
ing given to all movements connected
with women's work by Florence
Nightingale's unselfsh devotion to
the sick and wounded in the Crimean
war. During the absence from Eng
land of Miss Nightingale and her
band of helpers, the idea occurred to
the late Lady Kinnaird, a personal
friend of the angel nurse" that a
home would be desirable for them on
their return, and accordingly one was
mad ready From caring for nurses
to providing for other women in
other fields was a natural transition,
and the idea grew into the develop
ment of that remarkably interesting
organization which has carried its
operations into every part OF the
British empire, and into the United
States and several other countries.

of Harlan. This is not due to any
understanding with Harlan, for he is
a municipal ownership man. 1t is
because his program would prove
most helpful to them. 1t is Har-
lan's plan to simplify the problem
and give the people their first great
need, an improved service, by max
ing terms with the traction compan-
les. He would do this by giving them
a short term franchise on condition
that they would provide a first class
equipment at once and agree 10

that franchise would expire. Inc

the. belief that before the expiration
of that term they would find legis-

them longer grants.

FRANCHISE TAX
FOR FLORIDA

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, April A.
The Florida legislature is expected
to pass at the coming biennial ses-
sion a franchise tax bill which will
seriously affect the telegraph and ex-
press companies and all the railroads
doing business in the state. 1t is
said that the governor has been as
sured by a majority of the members
of both houses that they favor the
bill as it will compel all foreign COR
porations to contribute materially
to the expenses of the state govern
ment.

fused to sell he would proceed to
seize their property through legal
proceedings, just as he would APP
propriate property for park or other
public uses.
AS to the time required to carry
| through such a suit there is wide
difference of opinion. Judge Tuley
and some other high authorities have
| expressed the opinion that the mat
| ter could be cleared up within a
year, A large number of other peo-
pie, also eminent, declare it would
take from five to ten years. The
mayoralty term is for two years.
There are strong indications that
the traction companies are going to
hang on if they can. They recently
| made a bet of s25.00O,O00 that they
| can. That was done few months
ago when the interests back of the
Union Traction Co., controlling the
North and west sides, brought the
Chicago City Railway Co, which has
charge of the streets on the South
side. Many, some people say all, Of
| the franchises of the city company
have expired. The equipment is old

j. Pierpont Morgan and some other
| wise and rich men paid 25,000,000
| for the outfit.
Their scheme was thus to bring all
/ the lines under one ownership and
| first class service in return for a
| franchise. They calculate that the
people have suffered so much and
so long that they will soon be will
| ing to give up a franchise in return
| for a decent service. 1t is probable
| that an offer of this sort will be
made at some stage of the litigation
| that will follow the election.
The franchise question is badly
| mixed because of the conflict of old
grants and their extension and more
recent franchises awarded by the
| city. The companies claim they hald
| all the trunk lines for 80 years. They
| admit that the franchises for cross
| town and connecting lines have ex-
pired. Neither the trunk lines nor
| the others could be operated alone
with profit to the operators or salts
| faction to the people.
| Harlan would smooth out this
trouble by giving all to the companies
| for limited time. if they would sur
| render their 99-year elaine.
Dunno is for war. If the com
panies refused to sell out he would
| condemn their property. Then the
people would learn from actual eX-
perience whether municipal owner
ship in this twon means good SER
| vice in a short time or a perpetual
| lawsuit.
