Arrested For Working.

A dispatch from Whitebird says
that ]. Blanchard, farmer, was arrested
last week for building fence on Sunday.
The Peck Sun, commenting on the
case, says:
They have jagged a rancher at
Whitebird for working on Sunday
The farmer was putting up a wire
fence, probably to keep his neighbours
cattle from eating up his grain, on the
day that he should have rested, and
the neighbor had him pulled. What

stand the law plain everyday work on
Sunday, when absolutely necessary, is
not prohibited.
1t is hard to see, after reading the
law over, how they are going to make
the charge against Mr.. Blanchard stick.
The law says nothing about labor on
the Sabbath, referring to only the sale
oil merchandise, the running Of saloons,
and some other lines of business. The
law is said by many TO be unconstitu-
tlonal and when there is an effort to
inflict it on individuals as in the case of
Mr.. Blanchard it is time 10 ask the
supreme court to pass upon its con-
shtutonality. So far as it relates to
saloons the law is good, and no one will
object to its strict enforcement, but
there are some, at least, who will OBJ
ject when the law begins 10 regulate
their actions on Sunday or any other
day. So long as Mr.. Blanchard did not
interfere with the rights of Others. or
disturb others with his work, there is no
law on earth that can, in justice, inter
iere with him. AS just would it be to
pass law designating Saturday as the
legal Sabbath and fining all who failed
TO observe it. How many would
comply with such law, and how many
will say that such a law would be lust
and reasonable3 To the disgrace of
those who passed this law it NAV be

why don't you follow your own
good advice and paint your own house, J"
said reader Of the News to the editor
the other day. Well, we knew just why
we hadn't painted, but modesty made
US little backward about telling the
reason. We didn't have the money to
spare, and did a little investigating.
We looked over our subscription ac-
counts and there it was. The very
fellow who had asked the question was
something like two years behind on his
paper. Owed the editor Of the News
a little more than 81, and which, if
paid, together with all the other little
bills due on subscription, would enable
us to not only paint every building we
now pretend to own but leave US
enough over to paint at least part Of
Troy red" il we cared to do so. The
News has something like 800 subscrib-
ers. At dollar a year it amounts to
about $500. We are now well along
on the third year since taking charge
OF the paper, and there are several who
have taken the News all this time without
paying a cent, and have ignored seve-
raj invitations to call and even matters
up. Some were several years behind
when we bought the paper, and this is
also due US, for we bought all accounts.
Some where plid in advance and we had
to send these the paper the balance OF
the time necessary to complete their
time, so that we had 10 rely on the
accounts due to pay the expense OF
fulfilling the obligations to complete
the contract with those over paid. You
can see now this is. 1t costs some
thing to send the paper a year and the
fellow who has taken it and not paid
for it has simply reached into our
pockets for hard cash, that is, has
made us reach down and pay out act
ual money for his benefit. And most
OF these delinquents think they are
helping to support their home paper.
Think they are contributing towards
the support of their local paper by {
permitting the editor to send them a
copy OF the paper fifty-two times year /
at his own expense. And yet there are

The News calls attention to the item
in another column relative to the ex-
perience of the citizens Of Alexandria,
Ind, in the matter OF municipal own
ership. The editor of the News has
always favored public ownership Of pub
lie utilities but it seems there is at
least two sades to the question and the
item referred to gives one of the sides
that is not in accordance with the
theory Of public ownership. One
thing about puwlic ownership must be
admitted, namely: 1t always costs more
to operate any publicly own enterprise
than it does to run the same business
under private ownership, the difference
being almost double. T.is is true in
regard to our postal system, and it is
true with the government owned rail-
roads of Europe. Even then there are
few who would advocate the turning
over Of the postal system of this country

ANTI-LIceNSE CAMPAIGN IN DELAWARE.

The people of Delaware are Engaged in
a hot fight to get rid of saloons in their
state. An Anti License league has been
formed and is conducting a vigorous cam
paign in which they are being no less
vigorously opposed by the liquor interests.
The latter, it must be said, are going to
the limit in the desperate fight which they
are waging to keep intrenched in power.
One part of their campaign which has
aroused great indignation in certain Eas
tern Shore cities and counties has been to
send men into those places where local op-
ton prevails and secure interviews which
were garbled to suit and published in the
newspapers as advertisements, and often
times with no particular attention to the
advertising marks. The people of the
Eastern Shore in general, and of Cambridge
in particular, can s.mpathize with the
people of Delaware in their fight to secure
the blessings of local option. No matter
what words the liquor interests may put
in our mouths. we could not be induced
to return to the license system, nor would
the people of Delaware if they once tasted
the benefits of temperance. Quiet, order
ly towns and workmen's wages saved and
invested in homes are arguments too
strong to be overcome by the plea of pros
perity which is enjoyed chiefly by the men
who sell liquor.
Cambridge can feel that she has a part
in the fight as Hon. Josiah L. Kerr, of
this city, will speak at Dover on Monday
night in the interests of temperance, and
will probably speak at two other places
on Tuesday and Wednesday.
