AND ALL OTHERS PER MITE
Letter From {. J. Hall In Which He
Takes Opposite Ground From
Mr.. Mills

Editor of the Banner:-I wish to
reply briefly to the letter of Rev.
George S. Mills on Sunday Baseball
IN last evenings Banner.
l. The modern Sabbath is a day of
relaxation and recreation. | think il
for the best public policy to encourage
such open air amusements as will
make healthier and stronger in mind
and body the men, women and chill
dren who make up our community.
| believe the hours of such recreation
should conflict as little as possible
W.;h the hours of church services.
,. In regard to the financial issue
/ think Mr. Mills has stated on one
or more occasions that he might not
object TO amateur baseball on Sun
day That though he would not want
his own children TO play he realized
That others did not share his feelings
and that he would hardly feel iusti-
he'd in Directing to it. But that the
Sunday abseball as played last year
by the Bennington team was a money
making enterprise and Objectionable
on that account. On this point
take issue with him The Benning.
ton Baseball association is not an
institution designed to make money.
10 has no shareholders. It's directors
are not paid. If by any chance it
should make money. that money
would be re-invested for the benefit
OF the public in improving the
ball team. 1t is designed solely to
provide health giving recreation to
the people of Bennington without one
selfish motive on the part of those
who organize and carry It on. Even
If Sunday baseball should not nav II
would still be sustained.
j In my judgment the chief obiec.
ton to Sunday baseball is the betting
connected with it, In this regard il
differs in no way from baseball on
any other day But as far as DOS,
sible it should be prevented and
am informed by Manager Higgins
that he and the association use every
effort to prevent betting at the Sun.
day games.
! As to violation of the statute law
OF the state | think Mr.. Mills realizes
the yulnerability OF his position
when he attempts to defend the law
he quotes from the charge of being
a blue law even before it is attacked.
DO not urge defiance OF The law.
urge repeal of such laws. but if thew
are TO be enforced why should they
overlook the golf grounds and tennis
courts of the wealthy and attack the
poor mans play ground. If this law
rs to be enforced IL should be and
shall be enforced Justly and imparti-
ally The livery stables, the restau-
rants, the automobile garages. the sci. /
Ing OF Sunday papers. the driving for
pleasure instead of upon works of
charity and mercy must be brought
TO an end and if the poor are to be
deprived of their right to relaxation

ADAMS PEAK.
A Shrine Sacred TO Three Conflicting
Reliaious Seets.


Throughout Asia "holy places" are
almost as numerous as laves on u
tree, but In Ceylon is q mountain Which
enjoys the unique distinction Of being
q very holy place to the devotees OF
three absolutely distinct and conflict
ing religious sects. This is Adams
Peak, or Samanala.
According TO the Mohnmmedan be-
lief, Adam, after the fall, was taken
by an angel to the top Of Samantha,
and a panorama Of all the ills that
through sin should afilict mankind was
spread out before him. His foot left
an impression on the solid rock, and
his tears formed the lake from which
pilgrims still drink. The Buddhlsts
contend that II was not Adam, but
Buddha himself that made tho foot
print In the rock, that being the last
spot where he touched the earth be
fore ascending TO heaven, while the
Brahmins have still another legend.
All, however Brahmins, Mohamme-
dams and Chinese, agree that Samantha
Is n very holy place, and to perform a
pilgrimage to the spot is TO the Budd-
hist what n visit to Mecca Is TO n Mo-
