solidated these six gods into one-Jhvh,-
to whom they ascribed the whole work Of
creation He worked six days, got tired
celebrated his work, and rested on the sew
enth, Saturday-Sabbath- day of Sat
urn, which this people everywhere observed
in honor of their god Jahveh.
Strict observance of the Sabbath by the
Akkadians or Elamites, followed by the
Babylonjans, was enforced by the laws of
those peoples more than S,OoO years ago,
more than 1000 years before Moses, Ezra
and Jhvh made the world, if we are to be-
lieve the Bible. Cooking, washing, clean
of clothes, Offering sacrifices. riding, even
by the king, public speaking, taking medi-
cine, were all prohibited by these ancient
peoples on the Sabbath day. On this day
all had to dress in white; nc garments
could be changed; the king could not hold
his court; the general could give no orders
to his troops.
AS 10 the Sunday, it was of Roman orr gin
and was established in honor of the Roman
Sun-god, Apollo.
The observance of the day having fallen
into disuse, both the Christians and pa
rease both parties, Constantine, while yet
pagan, in the year 1913 c. r., issued an
edict, which reads: "On the venerable day
of the Sun. let the magistrates and people
in the cities rest and let all workshops be
closed"
1t is this venerable dav of tie sun-god Of
pagan Rome that these priestly conspira-
tors are now attempting to revive and force
on the free people of America by fines and
imprisonment. Let them have all the rest
and religion they want, Sunday and all
other days, to their hearts content, but
they must keep their bloody hands off our
civil government, and off the personal lib
erty of our people; otherwise, war to the
knife, and the knife to the hilt
The American clergy of all men, are the
most vindictive, cruel and inscriptions;
their record is a trail of human blood; the
word, honor, is not in their vocabulary;
truthfulness is now unknown to them; de-
ceit is their fort; the dupe and the young
virgins of their nocks are their victims
PUT NO CONFIDENCE IN THEM!
The green grass growing on the grave of
the last cleric will, alone secure to the
world the ripe fruit of peace, liberty. pro-
gress, humanity and happiness.

of conspirators, who are sailing under the
piraucal flag of Reform Bureau" Let
us throw down the gauntlet, raise the flag
of liberty from priestly rue--from all Sun
day laws!
Should these Consprators succeed, we
shall have church and state united; the
church to dictate the laws and the obedenc

This nefarious band of conspirators boasts
that it has already brought within its fold
all of the quasi-religious organizations, and
is now at work to capture the labor unions.

knows for what ii stands, should allow him
self to underestimate the strength and des.

As the Sunday question is the present
issue it will be in order here to give the
reader a brief history of the Sabbath and
Sunday. The former had its origin, ac-
cording to our best Assyriologists, with the
Akkadians or Elamites, more than 5000
years ago, where the most stringent laws
for its observance were enforced which. in
time, spread among the oriental nations, and
even to the Egyptians, while the Sunday
was of Roman origin, as we shall see later
on.
These Akkadisns, or Elamtes say our
best writer's seem TO have been the authors
of the stories of creation. of the first pair.
etc of the food etc They were not only
astrologers. but had correct notions of our
solar system; of the revolutions of our
planets. They determined the solar year:

called the days of the week after them

seventh day. TO these six planets as gods,

as now in our California Legislature, de-
handing the enactment of Sunday laws. We
are just in receipt of report from Pen
sacola Florida, where several arrests of
merchants have been made for going to
their counting rooms for their Sunday mail
This is about equal to the old Blue law re-
gime of Massachusetts and Connecticut,
where people were fined and imprisoned
for going elsewhere on Sunday than TO or
from church, and where all were required
to attend and pay taxes for the support of
the preacher.

thod OF procedure to secure the sub
scriptions to go on with the work on
this ditch. Mr.. Gilkey finally said
he thought of appointing a commit
tee of twenty-five business men to
undertake to dispose OF stock suf-
ficient among the land owners down
the river to go on with the con-
struction of the line. He made the
statement regarding the resources
of the company as follows: There
was $4,000 available for work on
the Fruitdale and on the 200-foot
ditch on the north side, and II $10,-
900 could be raised among the land
owners in the bottom this would be
all the money needed to do the work
the coming winter and spring. This
practical way of dealing with the
question brought out motion to ap-
point the presidents proposed COM
mittee of twenty-five. The motion
was put and carried. The committee
was at once named as follows;

r. l.. Coe was made chairman of
the committee of twenty-five and
blue prints were at once prepared
showing the line of the bitches al
ready constructed and their exten-
slons. The chairman organized his
committee into subcommittee to
visit property owners on the river
bottom and to secure as many sub
scriptions as possible. This work
was commenced on Thursday, since
which time no report has been re-
ceived.
Secretary J, G, Riggs, in speaking
of the Importance of the undertaking
in hand, said:

of property to be benefited must sub

Pave 20 the Bridge.

The Courier on Thursday made
a practical investigation as to the
wishes of the property owners be-
tween NJ street and the steel bridge
as to their preferences in paving
that street. II was found that a
majority favored hard pavement and
none cared to have macadam, each
giving as a reason for his opposl-
tion that such pavement was only
a makeshift at best and was not
worth the original cost, let alone
the constant repair that would be
necessary. Bitullthic seemed to be
the favorlte on that part OF the
street This was. OF course, only a
straw vote. but then the old saying
is that straws tell which way the
wind blows.

After some weeks of inactivity
there was very important meeting
held by the Josephine County Irriga-
tion and Power company on Friday
night of last week at the rooms of
the Commercial Club. There were
present twenty or more business men
who took deep interest in the pro-
ceedings. President Gilkey called
the meeting to order and Secretary
Riggs occupied his desk as usual.
There was much of the old-time en-
thusiasm displayed by many persons
during the evening and there were
many expressions of satisfaction as
to the success of irrigation and the
the success of irrigation and the
amount of work accomplished dur
ing the past season. The president
made talk along the lines of what
had been accomplished in the way
.of construction of the various irri-
cation canals and the money that
had been expended and the work re-
naming to be undertaken during
this fall and winter.
Referring to the work of the past
season a financial statement was eX-
.hibited covering all the details of the
money secured and expended.
Following the reading of the fin
ancial statement Mr.. Gilley told Of
the important work which must be
undertaken at once First came
the large gravity canal which was
to cover the bottom lands on the
north side This, he said, was ex-
pensive work and the great misfor-
tune was that of the $500 acres and
more which would come under this
ditch little had been subscribed for
construction. The 200-foot ditch
had to be extended a considerable
distance to cover the lands of those
who had come forward and taken
stock, and the Fruitdale ditch need
ed considerable work, All of which
must be looked after in the near
future. Referring to finances, Mr.
Gilkey said that under the plan of
the company ditch extension had to
be made from money subscribed by
land owners under that particular
ditch and under this rule, which was
the only Just way Of proceeding, II
became necessary to ask the land
owners in the lower bottom to sub
scribe the amount needed to make
the extension. He said, in answer
to a question, that the gravity dltcl
was completed the distance of mil,
below the dam and considerabl,
work had been done on 1t a mile ant
half farther.
At this point there was consider
able discussion as to the best me
