The Canadian Sunday.

The tendency to grow away from the
Puritan Sabbath has been very
marked in this country in recent years
and the changing condition has filled
thoughtful minds with regret and ap-
prehension. The old time blue laws
touching on Sunday observance re-
main on the books in most of the older
states but for a long time they have
been generally honored in the breach
rather than in the observance. Over
the line in Canada, however, the regime
Of strict Sunday observance is just be-
ginning.
A new, strict Sunday rest law has
gone into effect throughout the Domin-
ion of Canada, except in one province.
The expression, "gone into effect" is
not merely a way of speaking. The law
actually was observed last Sunday, and
no violations were reported. Practi-
forbidden, together with fishing, hunt
ing. playing ball, selling foreign news
papers, working or hiring another to
work, selling cigars on Sunday, or IL
quors from p. m. on Saturday to
a. m. on Monday.
A peculiar feature of the law is that
it is to apply only in those provinces
which do not substitute a Sunday law
of their own. But the law meets with
such general approval that in one
province only, Quebec, has the Legis-
latpre substituted milder law for the
drastic law of the Dominion. Such a
provision allowing any one province to
nullify the action of the Parliament of
the Dominion is in the spirit of John
G. Calhoun's doctrine of the right of
South Carolina to review the acts of
the national government, but that doc
trine never was enacted into the law
Of the country on this side the line
Quebec is so different in blood and ira
dition from the rest of Canada that it
might have been expected to reject
such a Sunday law, but the homo
gencity OF the other provinces is adj
mirably shown by their acceptance of
this law, or, rather, their demand for it.
Canada, with the exception of Quebec
has been settled mainly from England,
Scotland, and the north of Ireland.
The old reverence for Sunday still has
{. strong hold on the people. It is the
in5ular, not the continental, Sunday
which is the model for the legislators.
In the United States the element of the
popula ton which has brought other
ideas with it from the continent of
Europe is so large that it has affected
The treatment OF Sunday especially in
the cities The Canadian voters seem
to want strict Sunday legislation and
now they have it. The province of
Quebec will continue to hold its merry
making on Sunday, but elsewhere the
day will be given up to church going
and pleasures Of a quiet. domestic kind.

THREE SUBJECTS DISCUSSED.
Scope of Projected Treaty Between Co

Senor Don Enrique Cortes. the Colombian
minister to this country, called at the State
Department today to discuss with Acting
Secretary Bacon. who returned to WASH
ington last night from Oyster Bay, some
unfinished details of the projected treaty
between Panama and Colombia. The new
treaty deals with only three subjects, viz.
the recognition by Colombia of the inde-
pendence of Panama; second. the adjust
ment of the boundaries between the two
countries. and third. the agreement on the
part OF Panama to assume a proper proper
tion of the national debt of Colombia as 1t
stood before the separation. Progress is
being made in the adjustment of all these
questions. but owing to the absence from
Washington of Secretary Root, and the
difficulty of accomplishing much during the
heated season. the minister, while hopeful.
Is not confident of his ability to bring the
matter to a conclusion before he leaves

London.
The present Colombian legation quarters
at 1872 2lst street have been found insult
hcient. and a new home has been secured
at 112S n street. which will be occupied
next fall. Senor Don Jose Maria Pasos

Conductors Accused of Overlooking

The police Of the Anacostia station have

The police regulation was put into force
about two years ago, when the old Anacos-
tia bridge was condemned, and at that time
there were many clashes between passen-
gers, conductors and policemen over the en-
forcement of the regulation. Several cases
were filed at that time, but they were not
pressed. Since then there have no arrests

NOTHING WRONG, SAYS TAFT.
Interprets Bells Assertion Regarding
Affairs in the Army.

In his address to the army officers at Fort
Leavenworth. Kan, Maj. Gen. j. Franklin
Bell. chief of staff, is credited with having
said:
There is something wrong in the army
1t is known in Washington. and an effort
will be made to correct it."
Commenting upon the newspaper report
OF Gen. Bells speech. Secretary Taft said
There Is nothing wrong in the army as
far as the officers of the War Department
are aware. While not informed as to the
meaning of the remarks attributed to Gen.
Bell, 1 have no doubt the explanation Is
simple and relates to an increase in the
army. AS conscientious chief of staff
Gen. Bell favors larger army, and his
enthusiasm probably led him to make the
statement quoted. Having had numerous
conferences with him on army matters,
am aware of his sentiments in this direc-
ton. This is the only Interpretation l can
put upon the remarks Of Gen. Bell. in whom
the War Department has the greatest con-
fidence."

Receipts.
COURT DECISION IS AWAITED
Little Uniformity About Observing the
Law-Absent-Min Patrons
Will Suffer.

NORFOLK, Va, July None Of the rail-
road ticket offices in Norfolk were today
selling two-cent mileage passenger tickets. In
compliance with the order of the state cor
poration commission enforcing the two-cent
passenger rate on and after July 1. The
Norfolk and Western, Atlantic Coast Line,
Southern and Chesapeake and Ohio railways
began this morning. however. selling tick
cts with a receipt rebate thereon. The pur-
chasers of tickets will hold these rebate
receipts, and in the event the appeal made
by the railroads from the ruling Of the
Virginia corporation commission fails and
the two-cent law is declared to be constitu
tional the holders will upon presentation
receive refunds for the face value of their
receipts. The Seaboard Air Line and New
York, Philadelphia and Norfolk railroad
has given no instructions on the question.
and the Norfolk ticket agents were selling
at the old rates today without the giving
of rebate receipts.
At most of the ticket offices reference
was made to the fact that Judge Pritchard.
who. at Asheville Saturday, continued the
temporary injunction against the enforce
ment of the reduced rates ordered by the
North Carolina corporation commission un-
til the taking of evidence is completed and
the case can be determined upon its merits,

cision of the court on the Virginia ap-
peals.

Two-Cent Fare in Illinois.
CHICAGO. July 1.-The two-cent fare went
into effect all railroads in Illinois today.
The General Passenger Association and the
Western Passenger Association, which in
clude nearly all lines in the state, an
nounced that the rate provided by the law
will be effective on all state traffic. Inter-
state rates now in effect however. will be
maintained under the federal rate law until
a new tariff has been prepared.
The delay and litigation so freely pre-
dicted at the time the law was passed will
at least be delayed. as far as the railroads
are concerned. until the new rate has been
tried for several months.
1t Is said that the officials Of the various
roads affected by the law have agreed to
submit to the new rate for several months.
and then to carry the law into the courts
with a showing of deficit should there be
any, that will support plea that the two
cent rate is a loss to the roads.
There Is grain of comfort in the Illinois
law to the railroads, as 1t gives the COM
panies the right to charge at a three-cent
rate where passengers have neglected to pur-
chase tickets at stations that are open for
the sale of tickets at least half an hour be-

Several witnesses for the defense nave
sworn that at the time the soldiers came

up an opportunity for the state TO show.
and counsel for the prosecution assert they
can show that assaults and murders mad

the strike and that non-union men VINO
