pRAIsE FOR SALOON KEEPERS

PRAISE FOR SALOON KEEPERS.
In commenting upon the Sunday
Rest Law and critising the actions Of
DR.. Tufts. the public must not for a
moment think such reform move
ments as the work Of the Rev. DR..
Leonard w. Snyder are included The
Miner heartily approves Of and COM
mends the efforts Of DR.. Snyder who
Is laboring to bring up the younger
generation with higher purposes in
life--not by legislation against them
as Dr. Tufts does-but by impressing
them with the advantages OF living
up to nobler ideals.
In speaking at the Congregational
church last Sunday morning DR..
Snyder paid glowing tribute to the
business interests here that have for
SO long been the butt of invective and
denunciation by some OF the local
ministers. He said ''Many liquor
dealers, many saloon keepers. many
gamblers and many keepers Of sport.
ing houses have more religion than
so-called church members and SO
called Christians"
DR.. Snyder later called at the Of
Ace Of The Miner and said: II could
have made this statement very much
stronger and told them that were 1t
not for the support Of this element
against which there Is so much rail.
lery could not carry on the work to
which l am devoting my whole life,
for the encouragement and financial
assistance received from the church
people Of Wallace and those who are
known as the reform element would
not buy me bread and butter much
less defray my travelling and incident.
al expenses"
DR.. Snyder has paid a we'll deserv-
ed and warm tribute to the generos-
ity Of the saloon keeper, and his
statements coincide with the testi-
mony Of others who have appealed to
the public house keepers and what is
termed the fast element Of the dis
trict.
Bishop Talbot of the Episcopal
who was at one time in
charge of this district and has fire.
Quently told large audiences in the
east of his work here in the early
days. has always spoken in the most
way Of the support he
received from the saloon men and
has gone 50 far as to say that 1t was
due largely to the encouragement he !
received from them that he made his !
work successful.
DR.. Snyder further expressed him /
self as opposed to the Sunday Rest |
Law at the present time. He said that
he heartily agreed with Bishop Pot
Ter Of the Episcopal church in calling
he saloon the poor mans club and
lntil such time as adequate provision
was made for the comfort OF the
Door and badly housed on Sunday,
le thought the saloon should be per-
nitted to remain open.

A ROAST FOR THE MINER.
In his sermon last Sunday Rev.

In his sermon last Sunday Rev. j.
d. Ncilan Of the Congregational
church In Wallace resented crit
icism by The Miner on the Sunday
Rest Law and the manner In which
this was engineered through at the
last session Of the Legislature. Only
nneager accounts Of the sentiments
expressed by Mr.. Neilan have percO-
lated to the Miner Office.
Az already stated The Miner Is not
in favor Of the Sunday Rest Law. In
other districts there may be some
necessity for such a law or there may
not be. In this district there Is not
only no necessity for such law. but
1t is positively harmful to business.
BY the title Of Sunday Rest Law
or by any other title not even the
widest imagination can construe this
measure into any meaning whatever
other than, direct and an unfair
blow at the saloon business.
The Miner Is not published in the
interests Of the saloon business and
has no special favor In this direction
any more than 1t has towards the
business OF BARRIERS, grocers or soap
makers, but 1t does stand for a square
deal for all business interests.
II the Sunday Rest Law was en-.
acted for the purpose Of giving one
day Of rest to those who toll seven
days In the week, why did 1t fail to
include miners who have to work
quite a. hard as any bartender?
II the law was passed for the bene-
At Of the bartenders in this district,
why Is 1t that not single man In
this business was consulted?
As a matter OF fact 1t makes no
difference whether MIR. Neilan or any
other pastor agrees or differs with
the sentiments Of The Miner in this
connection. The law Is discriminate
ing In its nature and nOnsensical In
its composition. Nothing could be
more absurd than measure which
allows the sale Of cigars and prohib-
its the sale Of chewing tobacco, or
allows the sale Of soda water and
prohibits the sale of chewing gum.
The whole measure Is about on a
par with the brain of Its ingenious
originator.
Up to the present time the law has
been "enforced' as that term is un-
derstoOd by those who wished to see
It pass-that Is to say, the saloons
have closed. There are, however, a
few other directions in which the law
might apply and The Miner would
advise the law and order battalion
and the ''spying out league" and all
the rest of the ''unc0 guild" to have a
whirl at closing everything and put
all the other business ON the same
footing as that Of the saloons. In
this way the law might redeem itself |
to certain extent and what little
good II embodies will be felt by the
community at large no less than by
the saloon keepers.
In any case The Miner is Of the
opinion that religion, not politics,
should be preached from the pulpitS.

sors and nine clothes pins come out
of that turkey, but Jack Golden said
that their last cook tried to stuff their
turkey with the garden hose, SO my
wife felt better.
The next round was some salad
which Ollie had dressed in the kitch-
en-, but the dress was such bad fit
that nobody could look at it without
blushing.
Then we had some homemade ice
cream for dessert.
The ice was very good, but Ollie
forgot to add the cream, SO it tasted
rather insipid.
Every time there was lull in the
conversation Charlie Swayne kept
yelling for a Bronx cocktail, and the
only thing that kept him from get
ting it was the fact that Riley Hatch
wanted to tell the story of his
life.
Anyway, the dinner came to fin
ish without anybody fainting, and the
guests went home little hungry but
imprisoned.
The next morning my wife spoke
bitterly to Ollie, and she left us, fol-
lowed by the Thanksgiving prayers of
all those present.
The only thing about the house that
loved Ollie was a pair of earrings be-
longing to my wife, and they went
with her.

In the Bond of Toll

Twain in one of his books speaks with
vitriolic scorn of those that toll with
the mind comparing themselves with
those that WELD pick or shovel or
tend a machine. The nature of his
distinction - though he does not say
it - is that with other forms of work
there is the element of creation. They
have risen to the point where the indi-
viduality of the worker counts appre-
ciabIy. This of course is so in all la
Dor. But in the great mass of bodily
toll the man is merely the link of in
telligence that unties forces and one
is in a broad sense the same as an
other. And it is this impersonal, i'm
pregnable, indefeasible quality in toll
that the workingman as we use the
term, knows and feels from his EARL.
est to his latest day. Now to give to
him that thus does and suffers a rec
ignition higher that be has been won't
to have-it is for this America stands.
That is one among the brightest of
it's ideals. Out of the advance toward
the hope Of it's approximation has
come the national feast that we call
Labor day. 1t stands as sign that

mankind and mean to dignity tin

I took Mrs. Hodge in and she took
in my wife's dress to see if it was
made over from last years.
Young Communipaw tried hard not
to reach the table first, but plate of
dill pickles caught his eye and he
won from old man Hodge by an
arm.
The first round was oyster cocktails
and everybody drew cards.
This was Ollie's maiden attempt at
making oyster cocktails, and she had
original ideas about them, which con-
sisted of salad oil instead of tomato
catsup
The salad oil come from Italy, so
the oysters were extremely foreign
in taste.
After eating his cocktail Riley
Hatch began to turn pale, and politely
inquired if we raised our own oy-
sters.
But just then little Cutey Coyne up
set glass of water and changed the
subject and the complexion of the
tablecloth.
The next round was mock-turtle
soup, and it made deep impression,
especially on Charley Swayne, be-
cause little Casanova Golden upset her
share in his lap when he least ex-
pected it.
Charlie was very nice about it, how
ever.
He only swore twice, then he re-
membered once a gentleman always
a gentleman, and he did not strike the
girl.
After awhile we all convinced Char
lie that the laugh was on the soup,
and not on him, and when the fish
came on he forgot his troubles by get
ting a bone in his throat.
When Charlie began to talk like a
trout, old man Hodge grabbed the
bread knife and begged to be allowed
to carve his initials on somebody's
wishbone
But Joe Coyne finally pacifed him
by a second helping of Bermuda
onions.
1 opened a third bottle of Pommery
just to show 1 wasn't stingy.
Then came the Thanksgiving tur-
key, and this is where that cook Of
ours won the blue ribbon.
My wife had told her to stuff it
with chestnuts, but Ollie thought chest
nuts too much of an old joke, so she
stuffed it with peanut brittle.
Ollie had noticed some other things
about the kitchen which looked lone
some, so she decided to put them in
the turkey, too.
One of these was the corkscrew.
When / went to carve the turkey, I
found a horseshoe which Ollie had put
in for luck.
1t made my wife extremely nervous
to see the can opener, a pair of scis-

so much more effectively in other
ways.
The children take an especial pleas
ure in Labor day because in most
places it delays for "a hours the open
ing of the schoolrooms in which they
are to spend the larger part of the
next ten months. It is the last day of
vacation, and it is day boldly taken
from the first week of school, almost
as if in defiance of the school bell.
With their fathers and big brothers
equally free from tasks, the vacation
closes in a big celebration, in a blaze
of glory.
Then work begins again for old and
young. Summer is over. Pleasant
days will come, but the heart must
not heed the call of the open sky.
There Is much to be done, much treas
ure to be stored up for the future;
for the child, knowledge; for the work
man, skill in his trade and provision
for the needs of his family 1t it seems
strange that Labor day should be
celebrated by an avoidance of labor, 1t
is certain, on the other hand, that
those who labor best appreciate most
the setting apart of this one day in
honor of honest toll. Saints have their
days, and so have heroes and kings.
This is the day of the common man,
and every one who works can claim
a share of the honor if not of the holi-
day.

Don't you see how our little plates of
soup will draw compound interest if
we invite the right people?"
My wife is friend of mine, so I
refused to quarrel with her.
Cali right, my DEAR" l said, "but
you must give the dinner one week
before Thanksgiving"
zone week before Thanksgiving!
my wife reechoed. "And why, pray?"
Because this will give our guests
a chance to recover from your cook
ing before the real day of prayer
comes around, and by that time they
will begin to think about you with
kindness, perhaps"
My wife stung me with her cruel
eyes and went out in the kitchen,
where the new cook was breaking a
lot of our best dishes which did not
appeal to her.
The name of this new cook was
Ollie.
When Ollie came to the house to
get a job, my wife asked her for
her recommendations.
Ollie said that her face was her
only recommendation; but that she was
out late the night before and broke
her recommendation just above the
chin.
Anyway, my wife engaged her, be-
cause what good is healthy appe-
tite when the kitchen is empty?
Ollie said that she was first-class
cook, but when we dared her to prove
it she forgot my wife was lady
and threw the coal scuttle at her.
A day or two after Ollie arrived
determined to find out what merit
there was in vegetarian diet.
Cali right" said to the cook, after
the last plate of hash with all it's fond
memories had disappeared, "this house
is going on a diet for few days, and
henceforth we are all vegetarians, in
Guiding the dog. Please govern your
self accordingly"
Ollie smiled and whispered that
vegetarianisms was where she lived.
Ollie said she could cook vegetables
so artistically that the palate would
believe them to be filet Mignon, with
Pommery sauce, and then she start

MATTER OF CIVIC DUTY.
uplift and Purity of Public Service the
Interest of All.

Moved by the spectacle of Labor
dav. the Ohio State Journal urges that
bevond the first idea of organization OF
labor there should be a purpose to con-
tribute to the general well being and
happiness. 1t says:
There is not an abuse in govern
ment: there is not a graft, an unearn-
ed salary, a sinecure, an official ex-
ptravagance, a corrupt contract, a big
lew and a nasty street, a fostering
pool Of disease-not a thing in which
public duty figures but that the labor
ing man is as interested in as the man
of society or wealth; often, more SO.
A mans duty to society is only a
phase of a mans duty to himself and
his family. He is one of the cheated
in a game of corruption, lavishness or
unenforced law, though he may not be
aware of it. Every abuse costs some
body something; and who, at last,
pays the bills? 1t is not question
of politics. 1t is simply matter of
civic duty which involves the truest
