Sunday" Advertising.

There IS more than common ipterest
in the decision of the Missouri Court OF
Appeals against the ST. Louis Republic
in its attempt TO collect charges for ad-
vertIsing. II being held that the adver-
Using appeared IN a Sunday newspaper,
which publication involved a violation of
the Missouri State law against labor on
Sunday. Under this decision apparently
all the advertisers in the Sunday news
papers in the State of Missouri VIII be
able TO evade the obligation for adver-
Using when it appears in paper on that
day, The court evidently failed to take
into account that the bulk OF the labor
which was involved in the writing Of the
advertisement, the setting OF the type,
and perhaps the actual printing of the
paper was performed on Saturday night.
Judicial consistency viii require that the
same rule apply TO advertising which Is
published in a Monday morning paper,
and it would seem that an advertisement
which was put in type on Sunday for
publication on every week day succeed
ing would also come within the gratui-
tous class Of service The rule might as
well apply. also. for the benefit OF adyer-
tisers whose cards are displayed in the
street cars running on the Sabbath day.

HobbIe and AeropIane shoes.

From the NeE York Pres.
The "hobble" shoe and the "aeroplane"
shoe are the newest things in footwear
adopted by those who keep pace with the
development OF science and Of fashion.
The man who Invented the Mobile" shoe
figured that the short, mincing steps that
woman in a 'hobble" skirt must take
cause a strain on the ankle, and he fash
toned a shoe with a brace on the inside
similar TO that found in a football play

the other hand. is designed chiefly for
comfort. II is made higher than the ordi-
nary shoe and is lined with fur. Il is
regarded as absolutely necessary for
warmth in making airship flights in the
fall and winter.

Free Pass Dies Hard.

From the Springfield Republican.
The free pass evil is dying hard in the
West, where it is most persistent, but il
is dying. The railroad journals tell of
the case OF an Ogden merchant who OBJ
tanned a pass from subordinate official
of the Southern Pacific to go to Reno,
New. and return some time ago. He was
arrested under the Hepburn interstate
railroad act of 1906. and fined $500. be-
sides having to pay his fare; and the
Southern Pacific official was also ar
rested, and is now out on bail awaiting
trial II should not take many examples
ike this to put an end TO this species of
grating on the railroads at the expense

No MonarchiaI Rugaboo.

Lyman Abbott.
Nor do ] think that the jackie lantern
bugaboo OF Mr.. -Roosevelt's imagined
monarchical ambitions cut any consid-

that the greatest falling off in the Re-
publican vote was in the State OF Penn
sylvania, where his voice was not once
heard in the campaign, is significant, If
not conclusive, upon that point.
