ONE DAY FOR REST.

"Sixsdays shalt thou labor. and do all
thy work, but the seventh is the Sab
bath of the Lord, thy God. in it thou
shalt not do any work, &c.
Not only is this command imperative
for mans spiritual good, but for his
mental and physical well-being. Efforts
have been made from time to time by
legislation in various states to enforce
by law more general observance of
the Sabbath, commonly called Sunday.
the idea being to carry out the Biblical
injunction quoted above Resolutions
recently passed by the convention of
the Protestant Episcopal church of the
Diocese of Maryland, assembled in Bal
timore, while strongly in "disapproba-
ton of the increased disregard for the
Lords Day, commonly called Sunday, F."
seem to relax strict insistence of the
Biblical command by laying -ess upon
the need of zone day in every seven for
day of rest, whether that day be the
Sabbath or some other day. This infer
ence may be drawn from the following
clause IN the resolutions:
THAT the members of this convention
exert their influence to persuade all cor
porations and other employers Of labor
to reduce to the lowest possible point
of necessity all secular work on Sunday
and to see that all persons necessarily
employed on that day be given some
other one day in every seven for dav
of rest.
This may be regarded by some as a
compromise; if so it is a happy one.
The idea of mental and physical repose,
aside from its spiritual feature. is a
wise intendment in God command. In
the great plan of His creation He has
provided periods of rest for all animate
things. The necessity of rest permits
of no discussion. 1t is admitted bv all
sorts of people that one day in seven
| ought to be set apart as a day of rest.
Many believe that this ought to be done
in the interest of bodily health, good
morals and religion. The argument in
favor of both phases of the resolution
could be extended to a great length.
The subject admits of no contravention
The plan of the convention, as embodied
in its resolutions should be pursued and
have the cooperation of all religious
and secular bodies and all classes OF
citizens in the state. 1t may be posi-.
BILE to secure Legislation along the line
of 'some other one day in every seven
for day of rest.

THE ROOSEVELT GUN.

Beyond question sort of surprise
wave has swept over the country fol-
lowing the spread of the information
that the president carries a gun in his
right hip pocket. But surprile will deut-
less subside upon'due reflection. The hip
pocket shooter is entirely in accord with
the Rooseveltian ideals of speak softly
but carry a.big stick" ''the surest,guar-
antee of peace is to be constantly pre-
pared for war;" etc. That TIE Presi-
dent himself is constantly prepared for
war must not be taken as sign that he
is not, all the same, an lardent lover of
peace. 1t is sign, however, that he is
not an acceptor of the Tolstoi doctrine
of nonresistance. He is not the kind OF
peace advocate that is disposed to turn
the other cheek. Early experiences
have much to do with forming habits OF
thinking. Possibly during those years
when Mr.. Roosevelt was ranching and
living under social conditions that rend-
cred the seven-shooter a necessary i'm.
plement in daily avocations he had in
delibly impressed upon his mind the wis.
dom of the Western saying, ''You may
never have use for your gun, but if you
do need it, you will need it awful bad. -

the suggestion that the president OF

WILL TEST THE ELECTION LAW.

Leaders of the Democratic party
have agreed that it is advisable to have
the courts passl .upon the question
whether or not the so-called legalized
primary election law is applicable to
the counties of Maryland as we'll as
Baltimore city, and arrangements are
new being made to have a test case
brought before the courts. It is proba-
BILE that this will be done in Carroll
county and that Mr.. B. Frank Grouse
and Mr.. Francis Neale Park win take
the initiative
1t is understood that the legalized
primary act does not apply to the cleo
ton of delegates to the state conven-
tons to the two parties. 1t is assumed
that those counties which have special
primary election laws-which are Mont
gomery, Allegany, Hartford and Balti-
more-are not affected. The other
counties, according to Attorney General
Bryan, are required to hold their prima-
ries under the provisions of the legallz-
ed primary acts.
Mr.. Parks will probably make de-
mand on the Supervisors of Elections
in this county that the Forthcoming
primaries be conducted in accordance
with the provisions of this law and they
will decline to do so. Then Mr.. Park
will file petition for a mandamus
against the Supervisors alleging that
it is their duty to hold the primary
under the law and praying that man.
damus issue requiring them to do so.
The Supervisors will demur to the petit
ton, and on hearing of this demurrer
the court will pass on the whole cues
ton. The proceedings of course, will
be wholly amicable.
The Democratic leaders are anxious
to have this question passed upon, be.

SIMPLY A GIGANTIC SCHEME.

1t is doubtful if any human intellect is
capable of fully approaching the mean

of money have but a meager idea of the

the sight of them. Anybody can talk,
for instance, of billions; but is there
anybody whose mind really perceives

many lives of working men are coined
into billion dollars? Indeed take a

Are Patent

We are often asked the above

yariably been that no medicine
that gives satisfactory resats
gould be fraudulent. We could
not afford TO sell fraudulent medi-
ciHes- Our business depends on
pleased customers in fact any

would take an enormous risk did

pleased customers. Mucu-Tone
is a positive cure for internal
scrofula or what is commonly
called Gatarrh. 1t is without

any one who is suffering from a

from the more plainly described
symptoms of Gatarrh-such as

II must be remembered that Ca.
tarrh is not confined to the nose
and throat. II usually starts
there, but it leads more often TO
serious trouble, particularly the
wasting of tissues, as in the case
OF Little Miss Dillon, Of Albany.
There is a letter from her father:
