Indianola-When Judge Ward called

tence on Walter Turner, a negro who
had previously been convicted on the
charge Of manslaughter, having some
two years ago killed his wife, there
was displayed the fairest and best evil

The Peanut Exhibits.

Peanuts-just peanuts-both plain
and fancy, form one Of the interesting
features Of the agricultural exhibit at
the state fair. When this great an
nual exposition was launched six
years ago an exhibit Of peanuts would
have excited much merriment, for it
was a product almost unknown to this
commonwealth-unknown, at least, as
an article of commerce. But the pea.
nut is coming into its own, and the
boil weevil has brought 1t about.

Willimantic, Danielson and Putnam

w. S. McIntire of Norwich preached
at a union service in the Baptist
church in Danielson. He being an of
fetal of the Lords Day league of Con
necticut and Rhode Island, / presume
he represented the sentiments of his
constituents on the subject at issue.
The first part of his sermon was
about Gods law; the last part dealt
with civic law. When a preacher tries
to keep his own flock in line or make
other converts he is wholly within his
rights; but what right has any person
or class OF persons to dictate by legal
enactm emit to any other person or class
Of persons just what he or they shall
or shall not do, on Sunday or any other
day?
Even though the Sabbatharians were
majority, the ninety-nine would
have no right to tell the one how he
should spend any particular day A
majority OF our people do not attend
church on Sunday, and prefer to spend
the day as they please, which they have
right to do, SO long as they do not
infringe on the rights of others. If
there were no written laws in the land
1T would not be right for anyone to dis
turb another in his Worship. no matter
whether he were worshipping a god of
baked mud. or an imaginary god.
In this land of religious liberty, where
there is supposed to be no alliance of
state and church, there should be no
laws compelling anyone to observe any
day that a church may designate. If a
merchant goes into his store on sun
day and another man goes in and buys
something it is their own business. and
not that of anyone else. There is no
more right to close a place of amuse-
ment on Sunday than there IS to close
a church on Sunday. The people have
the same right to play baseball on Sun
day that they have to hold a meeting
On the park or streets.

relative to these things, while they are
on the books let them be obeyed by all
the people. If these laws are unjust,
an infringement of personal liberty, or
a partnership of state and church, let
them be appealed.
Religion is sometimes wrong. His
tory and experience teach us that re-.
hgion has both blessed and cursed the
earth Right is always right It rep.
resents all true law, and should repre-
sent our creed.
