@Marse Henry" WAKES wrOth.

Looking the New York Sun squarely in
the eye, the Louisville Courier-Journal
says:
This New York paper represents a class that
thinks there IS nothing west oi Jersey and south Of
Staten Island except iliteracy and state Of semi
civilization To the crude but pert young Harvard
ties who write for it. each Western man and South
cry man talks pigeon English and chaws terbacker.
In their untTRvcled and distorted fancy, Kansas
becomes a hedge row Of chin whiskes. Texas a
hotbed Of snarchisn, and Kentucky synonym for
mint julers. sub alternates with by gawd in the
popular Vocabulary
We think the Courier-Journal doth pro-
test too much. Let the heather rage and
imagine vain things; let them put "suh"
and sab and 'chaws of terbacker" and
slurred IRIS" and supersuenuous mint
juleps into the mouths OF Kansasites,
Kentuckyites. and Texasites. If they will

The Sunday Rest Bill.

The Sunday rest bill, now before the
Senate and undergoing proper amendment,
may become an acceptable measure, but
hasty action IS not warranted. In all
fairness there should be the fullest and
freest hearing before such legislation is
enacted. and the Senate would do well to
recommit the bill for that purpose
one Senator stated in debate that he
did not approve Of it, but would vote for
it, and the half-heaTted support il is re-
ceiving- from other Senators discloses
doubt In their minds as to tbs wisdom
OF It.
Certainly there IS no urgency In the
District-at least It has not been made
known-that calls for hurried and fl
considered action. Then why not give the
public an opportunity to be heard?
Protests are coming from the country
against the measure. II IS not fully
understood It should be fully understood
before being passed. Countless thousands
Of good. law-abiding citizens throughout
the land look askance, naturally, when
an enactment IS proposed that touches
religion and involves a principle which
they hold most dear. a number OF West
ern Senators already have voiced this
feeling.
It is against the seeming haste to push
the bill through, rather than against the
bill itself, as amended. that these words
are set down. It is the right Of all people
to be heard and there should be no denial
of that right in this case.

eFreauent Daily Service Erercisa

The military authorities are described
as discussing the changes which should
be made IN the annual physical test 70
which many officers Of the military es-
adjustment are now subjected. It is pro-
posed to have average daily walks or
rides, three miles a day IN the case Of a
pedestrian and six or eight miles per
day In the case Of a rider. BY this means
il is believed there win be some chance
OF realizing the purpose OF the order
which requires these annual physical
tests. When Mr.. Roosevelt exacted This
requirement Of the army and navy officers
1t was for the purpose Of "cultlvatine
and intoxicating the habit Of freouent
daily exercise" on the part Of members
or the commissioned personnel Of the mil
itary-naval establishment. This has been
accomplished only in individual cases
and only in instances, presumably
where the frequent daily" exereis-
would be engaged IN without the stimu-
lation Of an Executive order. As it has
worked out officers Of the army and
navy have gone into special. and more

physical test and then have relapsed into

Meaning of Cemetery

From the New York American.
1t is not correct TO say that cemetery"
means the city of the dead" The word
is from the Greek "Koimeterion p" mean
ing sleeping place, not the place Of the
dead. There is nothing in the etymoIogy
of the word to warrant us in thinking
that it was originally intended to convey
the idea that the departed were really
dead any more than there is in the old
Hebrew term fer cemetery ethaim"-
