MUST OBEY LAW,

ST. PAUL, Jan. 16-Sunday clos
ing as applied to grocery stores is
legal even if the grocer is accustomed
to observe another day of the week as
mis- Sabbath If those who regard the
seventh day of the week as their
Sabbath desire to do servile labor on
Sunday they may do so but they may
not sell groceries.
This is the decision of the state SUI
preme court filed today in the case
of the state against M. Weiss, Min
neapolis grocer, against whom the
retail grocers' organization made
complaint. Weiss urged that he clos
ed his store on Saturday in accord
ance with the Hebraic custom and
transacted business on Sunday. The
syllabus of the decision says:
State Of Minnesota, respondent, VS..
M. A. Weiss, appellant.
Syllabus-Chapter 1862 of the Laws
of 1893, prohibiting the public traf-
fic in certain articles of merchandise
on Sunday is constitutional. State
VS.. Justus, 81 Mimi, 447, followed.
That the defendant was of the He
brew race and of the Jewish church,
regularly attending such church as
mis- place of worship on Saturdays or
the seventh day of each week, and
believed in the doctrines of said
church, among other things, that Sat-
urday or the seventh day of every
week, is the Sabbath or Lords day,
to be observed and kept by him as a
day of worship, does not in any man
ner affect the constitutionality of
Chapter 1862, Laws of 1908.
The Sunday law is justified as a
sanitary measure and as a legitimate
exercise of police power.
Section 6514 G S., 1894, which pro-
vides that cit is a sufficient defense
to prosecution for servile labor on
the first day Of the week that the de-
PENDANT uniformly keeps another day
of the week as holy time and does
not labor upon that day. has no
application to proprietor publicly
selling groceries on Sunday.

REBATES ARE LEGAL.

OLYMPIA, Wash, jan 16.-The at
torney general today advised the in
surance department that the charges
made by rival agents against the Nut
ual Reserve Life Insurance company,
of New York, that it grants rebates,
do not show violation of the state in
surance laws, if such rebates are
granted to all policy holders of the
company alike. The company's scheme,
which its rivals object to, is a special
provision written into policies that the
company will, annually, for 20 years,
place in special fund 81 for each
$1,000 insurance carried in this state,
and that this fund will be divided. pro-
rata, among policy holders in Wash
ington, based on the amounts of their
policies. In effect, this, of course, re-
duced the annual premium of policy
holders in this company 81 to every
$1,000 insurance from the rates of in
surance agreed upon by all the COM
panies

DURUM WHEAT.

The department of agriculture is
itself upon recent de-
monstrations of the high quality of
durum wheat with reference to its use
in the regular milling trade. 1nvesti-
cations show. it is said, that the wheat
makes excellent bread, that it keeps
fresh longer than ordinary hard spring
wheat bread, and that a majority of
consumers like it better. The north
west knew long ago that the wheat
made good bread, and there is really
nothing new in the bulletin except the
statement that a majority of consul
mers prefer it. No doubt the depart
ment has experimental sufficiently to
feel warranted in making this last
statement
Durum or "macaroni' wheat has
had a hard fight for recognition. The
department. knowing that it would
grow upon semi-a arid land, where there
is sufficient average rainfall for or
binary spring wheat, introduced it,
and pushed it along with the farmers
The wisdom of this, in the broad, gen.
eral view, is scarcely open to argu-
ment. If land that will not ordinarily
produce grain, or upon which the
growing of grain is precarious bust
ness, can be made to yield regular
crops of macaroni wheat, the benefits
to the country overshadow all the min
or disadvantage that may follow. 1t
was natural that the great milling in
dustry. accustomed to the use of spring
wheat, and not desiring to make the
changes necessary for the grinding of
durum. should not do much to encour-
age its growth. 1t was to be expected
that the trade journals, ostensibly rep
resentative of milling trade sentiment,
should have attacked the department,
and questioned the motives Of the men
pushing the area of macaroni wheat.
More recently there has been less of
this, and the millers themselves, if in
deed they ever felt as bitter about the
matter as their trade journals made
out, have apparently undergone a
change of heart.
If the department is able to show,
after several years, that it has made
wheat to grow where none grew be-
fore, it will have made good. This is
the bone and body of the whole
question.

THE RECENT NAVY INCIDENT.

1t remains to be seen whether the
navy department will have the nerve
to go after fighting Bob Evans who
commanded the battleships which
nearly ground each other to pieces in
the mouth of New York harbor Ad-
miral Evans has been a favorite hero
in navy circles. He handled the Iowa
well in the battle of Santiago and he
has since then handled the visits to
this country of Prince Henry of Prus-
STA and Prince Louis of Battenberg to
the highest satisfaction of the red tape
and courtesy departments He also
handles a line of language not carried
in the dictionaries, and this is said to
enhance his dignity as a fighter in the
minds of some VINO do not discrimin-
ate closely between fighting and froth-
ing.
1t is impossible to say whether Ad-
miral Evans was responsible for the
damage to his fleet, but the difficulty
only adds to the reasons for an official
inquiry such as was had after the
Bennington blew up An inquiry might
develop whether the alleged short
handedness of the navy which was ad.
vanced as a cause for the Bennington
disaster applies to the rest of the navy
If it is true then the duty of congress
to put itself in possession of the facts
and provide the remedies is pressing.
The United States cannot afford to
build s6,O0O000 war machines to have
them destroyed in time of peace from
lack of engineers to run them.
The present complement of men on
board ships is nearly $1,000, apparent
1y large number, but when it is con-
sidered that each of the first-class bat
tleships calls for around 1870 men the
total rapidly becomes less impressive.
There were probably five thousand
