City. Mo-, does not believe in laws for
Sunday observance. Righteousness !
can not be legisated into man.. said
Rev. jenkins from his pulpit last Sun
day.
Il am opposed to any religious regu-
lation by city, State or nation CONCERN /
ing Sunday observance" said DR.. Jen-
kins. Whatever is done on this basis
should be done on q strictly secular
basis. / yield to no one in thorough
going belief in the principle of Sab
bath.
1.-The injection of any religious senti-
ment into this or any other purely civic
question is calculated to do vast harm
to religion itself. 1t alienates men. 1t
has been so all through history. 1t is
so today. 1t is sound principle Of re-
ligious policy to concilliate men when
possible without compromise of truth. "
DR.. Jenkins also has views on the
putting of ''In God We Trust" on our
coins
1T is singular, he said, THAT the
agitation concerning this motto should
come just at this time when we have
shown our monetary lack of trust in
God or man. Did:we trust God when
we drew our money our of the banks
and broke them? No, we trusted in
the old sock and the safety vault.
do we trust in God right now
when we keep our groceryman, meat
man, druggist and doctor swaiting for
their money while we refuse TO pay
out from our boards for fear Of hard
times? If you trust in God, prove 1t
by paying your bills. Let your trust
in Got get into circulation. No, the
motto is false when put on our CONS.
Let us first make it true Engrave 1t
on our hearts and then we can, without
shame, put it on our double eagles.
lis the motto on our coins appropriate?
''Why should the coins be chosen
above other places of embezzlement?
why not put it on motor car tags
and carriage licenses? Why not stamp
it on the badges of policemen and
firemen? Why not burn it into vitrified
brick for paving and sewer building?
In heavens name, if it saves any
lives, promotes any justice, builds up
) any righteousness. Lemblazon it all
over the fabrics of the nation, the
State, the city,"

Good Idea.

1.-The bumpers" is the name bestow-
cd upon tobacco growers outside the
pool who have sold their tobacco.
That's not so bad. nor yet disrespect-
full. The bumpers have right to sell
their tobacco, just as other growers
have right to pool and hold theirs.
The idea is this: Let the bumpers
sell all they have. Speed the good
work. Get it out of the way. Use no
force or violence to prevent the sale.
But clamp down the lid on 1908 crop,
and in three months the Equity tobacco
will be sold at Equity figures.

in the court square. Miss Beall, as

HER FOURTH OF JULY,
SeIectmen are no ell select. as some of
you may know,
And sometimes they get srumpier the older
that they grow.
AT Blennerhaven Green the three select
men hated noise,
They also hated children and particularly
boys
So when the Fourth was near at hand
these three selectmen met
And said. "'Twould be A. splendid thing
all fireworks to wet.
Bot as we cannot quite do that let's pass
a local act
That NOT a squib can be set-of, not any
thing in fact"
Now. when the boys Of Haven Green
found out what had been done
They hated those selectmen three for
spelling all their fun.

were never healthy boys"
When Fluffy Rufles heard the news she
hurried to her aunt
"pll make them give the boys their Fourth,
and don't you say | can't"
She called on Traddles for his aid. and
Traddles said, "Pll do
Each mortal thing that you command.
I'd leave the earth for you"
"Don't leave it now. but get your car and
take me to the place

Tunnel Under Hudson River.

NEW YORK, Feb. 25.-With interest
ing ceremonies and prominent partici-
pants, accompanied by the playing OF
bands and the cheering Of thousands,
the great steel tube under the Hudson
river, connecting New Jersey and
Manhattan Island, was formally
opened to traffic today. President
Roosev cit, in the executive mansion
at Washington, pressed a button that
flashed the signal for the first car to
start through the tunnel.
The opening of this tunnel, known
as the south tube of the North river
tunnel system marks the completion
of the first section of the great under.
ground railroad system that is ( to
connect New York City with the New
Jersey side of the river, and which
will do away with the slow ferry boats
that for years have carried the ten O
thousands of passengers that ros
the North river daily.

porous states Of u middle west are

gradually swelling cry has been going
up from the valley of the great river,
strangely like a magically multiplied
echo of prophetic words spoken cen
turtles ago.. "Give us our river-our
highway to the sea-" is the burden of
the plant that has the very sound of
Marquette's inspired foretelling when
he first drifted down the mighty
stream with Joliet in 1913. There has
been a strange hiatus in the echo, it is
true, for it has not been plainly heard
till now, but its vibrations have found
a sensitive sounding board in dire need
at last and are waking the nation
