''The editor doesn't want any one to send him
any more copies of his paper in which they have
found mistakes. If they find a perfect copy
however. he offers big price for it. If the fool
critic who hunts for mistakes in the paper would
find them all. he would be kept busy. We would
be pleased to buy copies of any paper which can
be proven entirely free from errors. either in ty-
Biography or in statements of facts. We would
also be pleased to find a merchant who never made
mistake in putting up order, a lawyer who
never lost through his errors, doctor
who never wrongly diagnosed a case, druggist
who never made mistake, postoffice official who
never put mail into the wrong box a woman who

WITH OUR EXCHANGES
INTO THE CITIES

Since the beginning of the century, with the
establishment of factory life the trend of the
population movement has been toward the cities
There are evidences that the pendulum is now be-
ginning to swing back toward the farm. The iso-
ation of country life is disappearing to a large
extent through the instrumentality of good>roads,
rural mail delivery. telephones and trolley lines.
But most significant of all is the great increase In
the price of farm products. Under the operation
of the law of supply and demand this factor will
be the lure which will tend to turn the tide from
the cities to the country, and it is consummation
devoutly to be wished. Washington Post

Wide Doorwavs.

In the making over of an old house,
as also in building new one, it is al
ways a good plan to have the door
ways in the rooms on the first floor
made unusually wide, almost as large
as the rooms themselves, for in this
way a greater sense of space and airi-
ness is given even when the house is
not large. Portieres may be hung in
these roomy doorways to keep away
drafts and to give certain privacy,
but in warm summer days and also
when entertaining a large number of
persons the portieres may be drawn
back and almost the entire ground
floor thus transformed into one large

1t is rumored that the Southern Railway will
probably restore the old coal rates to Columbus.
The Commercial Club did not wait to get a secre-
tary to take this matter up, but went to work the
first day after the organization. If the rumor is
true it means a saving to Columbus of eight or
nine thousand dollars annually. Every large busi-
ness keeps watchman. The business interests
of Columbus must have one constantly on guard.

We reproduce a citizens views on the Sunday
laws published in Thursdays issue of this paper
and also another prominent citizens views of the
subject: 1--WE believe in law and its enforcement,
but we do not believe in fanaticism We believe
in the Holy Sabbath" but not so holy that our
people can not indulge in innocent recreation. Es-
pecially would we not take this privilege from
those who have toiled all the week. A shoe shine,
a soft drink a smoke, car ride and newspaper
are part of most Americans Sunday. Prohibit
him from everything and he will go up dark stairs
into dark rooms. have jug and engage in games
All infinitely more harmful than innocent recrea-
ton. The more innocent recreation that can be
put in vogue the better off our people will be-
Let's be sensible"
The Columbus commercial., 1909-08-22
ANOTHER SIDE.

Commercial In the last issue of your paper
a prominent citizen is quoted saying, I'VE be-
lieve in law and its enforcement, but we do not
believe in fanaticism, ETC." The gentleman is
mistaken He does not believe in the enforcement
of our Sunday laws, or else he would not contend
for the sale of articles which these laws forbid.
Did he ever think that there is another side to this
question? And it is not fanaticism either. What
do we owe the butchers, the car men. the ice peo-
pie, the druggists? Make them work seven days
in the week just to please US; should we allow
them to rest one day in seven? In pleading for
wide-open Sunday we are ignoring the God-given
rights of the toier Our friend has confidence
in his fellowman His proposition is. Man is es-
sentialy bad; he is going to do wrong in some
way If we provide way that suits him, he will
adopt it; if we do not he will go wrong other
way The ideal society suits where it is hard to
do wrong. and easy to do right. 1t is not fanati-
cism. Our friends idea of fanaticism is the en-
forcement of the Sunday laws. Wonder where he
got his definition?
