Judge Denounces Sunday Entertainers

should d~esecrate Sunday by giving
large teas, dinners, musicales and 9TH
er entertainments. The custom was
brought here from the continent and
has been growing ever since. If al
lowed to continue it will undermine
the life of this country and bring ruin
on us. | think that Sunday should be
observed above all else, and that this
continental habit should be stopped.
l agree perfectly with Justice Harlan
in all he said"
The custom of dinner giving, mu-
sicale entertaining and all that kind
Of thing on Sundays was really intro
duced in Washington by the Baroness
Hengelmuller, wife of the ambassador
of Austro- Hungary. 1t will be remem-
bered that Baroness Hehgelmuller
only a few weeks ago gave out a
screed against the "slowness" of
Washington society and the lack Of
sprightliness and spirit in the matter
of entertaining here, which got her
into no end of trouble and sent her to
bed with a serious illness.
The baroness called President and
Mrs. Taft "westerners," and without
actually saying SO practically did say
that they were devoid of tact and so
cial aplomb and need polishing up.
When Count Cassini, ambassador
from Russia, was here his harum-
scarum adopted daughter, who vas
the head of his household, did Sunday
entertaining with an abandon that
was perfectly startling. The Tafts,
however, particularly Mrs. Taft, are
against 1t and quite agree with Justice
Harlan.

By his decision to build the West

pleasure of Hartman. who believed
that it would injure the interests OF

About this time considerable legis.

enacted In several of the western
states. and on account of his lack OF

to the situation. The stocks Of his

The crash came with the panic Of
1907, which destroyed forever his
transcontinental dream. Four OF his
roads, the Western Maryland, Wa

tional and Great Northern. which ran
into Texas, went into the hands Of
receivers within q period of one year.
He did not give up. however, but on
the contrary began q new scheme to
recuperate his properties. His first
step was to patch up his differences
with Hartman. which was accom-
plished by the arrangements Of the
Western Pacific to be operated on
amicable relations with the Southern
Pacific. Another plan adopted for
raising funds was to cut of the divi-
dends from the Missouri-Paciic and
turn back all earnings into the com

tees of such party and faction. than the claims
suggested by the idea ot Christian citizenship
The y,rginion has more than once urged the
proposition that the church has q distinct re-
lationship to the realm of politics; that its
very creed and confession OF faith present OBJ
ligation and opportunity in political sense,
No man can be true in his religious life all
along the line II he fails to stand for the high
es, and best things politically to the extent
OF his influence.
We are pleased then to note that one church
in the State has come to the consciousness OF
the responsibility of it's members and the real
ization Of their power. mems organization
OF the First Christian church, OF Norfolk
known as the brotherhood, is undertaking to
that every male member Of the church is
qualified TO cast his ballot by the payment OF
his taxes and the rulhllment of other condi-
tons involved
Certainly attempt will be made TO dictate
the votes of the members only the effort to
gee that they do vote The Brotherhood holds
that An active Christian man should take an
active Christian interest In the civic affairs
of which he is a part Surely. And when this
active interest OF Christian men in civic affairs
becomes general there will be a considerable
leaven!ng OF the lump of politics
The forces that make for unrighteousness
find organization and active participation in
politics. That portion Of a city's population
is invariably qualified to vote and necessarily
active upon the day of election. Their in
fuence hitherto in civic affairs has been due to
the fact that the forces that sympathize with
Righteousness too often stop with mere sym

with political affairs upon the part Of the

will tend TO purify politics and elevate the

STRANGE INJURY OF
STAUNrON MERCHANT

STANTON. VA. Nov. s.-With
blood flowing freely from an ugly
hole in the side OF his head. Ira Q.
Simmons. a well known merchant OF
F'tshersville, was found near tho
Federal cemetery on the National
Turnpike last evening about s O'Clock.
From the nature Of the wound COM
bincd with the finding Of an open
knife in the bottom of his buggy IL
was at first thought that he was the
victim of an assault. but this sup
position later gave way to the belief
that he had been injured by being
thrown from the vehicle.
While there IL still considerable mys-
terry attached to the case It seems
that Simmons had been drinking
somewhat freely. and that when near
the cemetery he collided with another
vehicle. with the result that ne was
trown from his own buggy. landing
evidently on his head. This was tho
theory OF tho men who found him
and who brought him to town, where
his wound was dressed by DIR. G. I.
Lewis.
