SUNDAY OBSERVANCE.

The resolutions adopted by the gen
eral assembly of the Presbyterian
church at Kansas City last week in re-
gard to Sunday observance, read very
much like the old-time blue laws. Not
only does the church put itself on rec
ord as opposed to AL games and
sports and unnecessary travelling" on
Sunday, but Il goes much further,
endorsing the Saturday half holiday,
not so much as holiday as Offering
the working people a chance to make
all provisions for the morrow so that
they may be free for religious duties
The Sunday newspaper comes in for
censure as well as Monday morning
Rotations in colleges and seminaries,
the faculties Of which are called upon
to omit them 80 as to leave the Sab
bath free from the felt necessity OF
some of the students to prepare their
lessons on that day" Not only that
but the army and navy, the attorney
general the secretaries Of war and OF
the navy arc ali decrled because Of
persistent indulgence of sports on
Sunday
The assembly has touched upon
several matters in connection with
Sunday observance that are new.
That the result of the denunciation of
the army and navy in this matter
will be very insignificant, there is no
reason to doubt But recently a min
lister In Fort Wayne wrote the secre-
tary of war, complaining of sunday
ball playing by the soldiers at the
post there As a result It is said In
Washington that the war department
is considering the exclusion Of the
public from the military reservation
there on Sunday in order that ball

THE THAW VERDICT,

The public has been prepared for
the finding Of the court that Harry
Thaw is mentally iaranged to a de-
gree which makes It unwise to set
him at liberty. His Ingenious theory,
that he was taken insane a few sec
onds before he killed his victim, but
that he recovered his normal balance
a few seconds after the crime had
been committed, failed to elicit that
conviction which ny auto suggestion
might have conveyed itself to the
august court.
Without the most convincing evil
dence that young Thaw was insane
only at the time of the tragedy, and
that he has since recovered his mental
balance, his release at this time would
have been violently ut variance with
good public policy. Not only would
horrible encoura cement have been
given to the development Of brain
storms whenever a sensitive person
felt himself abused. but the unfortun-
ate belief would have spread that he
owed his freedom to his family wealth.
The decision Of The court closes the
Thaw tragedy for the present. The
entire gamut OF human passion has
been run. Society can now enjoy the
rest to which its patience entities It.

LITERARY GARBAGE.

The action Of the American Book
sellers association in putting itself on
record as opposed to the publication
and sale of books Of pronounced im-
moral plot or tone" and as wishing to
use every influence II has or may ac-
qulre to discourage them, will meet
with hearty approval, The temptation
to make dollar Is so strong in these
times that the tendency has been for
one publisher after another to trans
gress the proprieties and produce a
book which is little more startling
than any of its predecessors. Some such
| concerted action as the present one Of
the booksellers can alone curb the
tendency. 1t is not to be supposed that
all of the offenders who sell this sort
of stuff were present when the action
was taken, or that all are members Of
the association But It is the beginning
of commendable movement that we
praise, the realization of legitimate
and praiseworthy field for the book
/ sellers activity, not the results that
will Immediately follow If the majority
of our better booksellers can combine
/ upon such resolution, 1t will force the
hand of their competitors. Heretofore
many booksellers have been forced to
sell those Objectionable books because
their contemporaries did; now. If we
sense the situation rightly, all the bet
! ter booksellers will have to stop maxi
ing these sales under the stress of pub
lie opinion.
1t IS encouraging to see that the
booksellers recognize what a power in
the reading world they have the ability
| to become. Their united action can
force the publishers to produce the
books that are right for the public to
have. They can do more In this direc-
ton than hundred Anthony Com

/ plish and do It more thoroughly, too

larger proportion of the public thar

these books on the market and the size
of the publishers sales proves this
beyond a doubt. If they were not read
they would not be printed Surely Il

playing may not possibly be "a men
ace to the morals Of the neighhoring
civil community II such an order
Is put into effect, the results desired
by the Presbyterians will not be forth
coming at all 1t will simply mean
that those who enjoy watching the
games and who are not In sympathy
with the assemblys action anyway
will be denied the right to watch them
longer.
As for the Sunday newspapers the
Presbyterians seem not to have re-
Elected upon the fact that the major
part Of the work connected with the
publication of Sunday newspaper Is
done on Saturday and that, as is the
case with the big New York papers,
much OF 1t Is done days before. I'm
less they have in mind the real work
involved In reading these monster
sheets on the Sabbath which is not to
be denied, the Presbyterians are on
| the wrong track Rather It is the
Monday newspapers that are prepar-
cd on Sunday and II would be rather
against them that they should Justly
proceed, To omit Monday morning
recitations IN order to prevent Sunday
evening studying would certainly be
agreeable to the students, provided
nothing was clipped from the Satur-
day vacations, but even then 1t Is
doubtful whether they would not
much rather study Sunday night,
when there is comparatively little
other to do, and so have the morning
hours of Monday for recreation.
The whole line Of procedure OF the
Presbyterians seems to be inconsistent
with the spirit OF the times, which
favors personal option in Sunday OBJ
servance, Our statute books are filled
| Win any NUMBER OF unenforcaDle reg
ulations as It is. The recent action
of the New Haven board of aldermen,
In putting itself on record In favor
of Sunday baseball at the option OF
the individual, Is by far the better
way Give a man a RICH to do what
| he wanta IN SUNDAY Than 10 our
Presbyterian friends can persuade
him that 1t would be best for him
and his neighbors II he did not take
advantage of that right he will be far
more likely to stick by his conclusions
Willingly Deny him the right to play
ball and he will want to do It all the
more and feel that he Is doing right

There Is no disputIng the contention
that the all-but formal merging of the
Boston & Maine with the New Haven,
together with the acquisition OF prac-
tically all the trolley lines In Massa-
chusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island,
has given the New Haven virtual
monopoly OF transportation outside the
territory covered by the Boston g. AL
bany Whether this monopoly is In vio-
latlon of the Sherman law Is, OF course,
for the courts to determine. II Is the
contention Of the New Haven road that
Its trolley holdings are not Of an inter-
state character and therefore do not
properly come under federal jurisdlc-
ton, but be that as II may, there Ia
stlll the verdict of the Massachusetts
supreme court to reckon with The ex-
istence OF this monopoly does not fright
en- us, because experience has proved
that monopoly In transportation usu-
ally results In better service, but the
law Is plain and should be enforced,
and there Is an evident determination
to enforce It. Whether the law is In
all respects wise Is another question
entirely.

Tho Case Against the Rond.
tSprlngneld Republican,


So far as the New Haven company
itself is concerned the suit might well
be welcomed and even sought Possibly
It was, though interviews with Mr.. Mel.
len do not indicate IT, The government
could find among the country's railroad
combinations and communities Of inter-
est n dozen stronger cases under the
antitrust law than the New Haven af.
fords with Its steamboat lines left out,
as they are In this suit and H. as re-
suit OF the suit, the New Haven compa-
ny should be made to appear as acting
in harmony with the federal statutes
relating to Interstate commerce, its
position in relation to hostile state ac-
ton must be greatly strengthened And
such an outcome Of the case Is not at
all improbable. while at the same time
the federal suit Will operate to hold up
good part of the Massachusetts pro-
ceedings against tho company now
pending. II Mr.. Mellcn didn't invite
this suit, he might have done so.

It is not for the interest Of the peo-
