Jerusalem, May 1.-THE inhabitants
of this city are aroused to the point OF
rioting by the operations OF an English
archaeologist party, accused OF eXca-

of Omar and removing relics reputed to
include the Ark of the Covenant, can

and hooted as pig.
The mosque is closed and closely
guarded, pending the arrival from Con-
stantinople of government officials who
will make an investigation.
The expedition has worked for two
years past. beginning at the village of
Sloan, which lies in southeastern
Jerusalem, on the southern slope of
the valley of Kedron and the pool OF
Sloan. The explorers were credited
with excavating a passage from the
pool of Soloam toward the place where
once stood Solomon's temple, built in
1912 B. c. The explorers, according to
the alleged confessions of guards of the
mosque, brbed the guards, entered the
mosque. and after digging on six nights
spirited away treasures the where

Gainesville is in a peck of trouble
about it's Sunday laws. Between the
people who want a wide-open town
and those who think ii is deadly sin
to buy or sell glass of soda or Gig
ar on Sunday, and the varying shades
of opinion between, the University
City finds il difficult to find anything
to please even a good-siZed minority
Sunday laws do much more harm
than good. They are class legislation,
and IL any man of means took one be-
fore the supreme court of the United
States, 1t is a safe bet that that tribu-
nal would declare it unconstitutional.
The average American citizen doesn't
need any Sunday law. When the first
day of the week comes around, he
wants Sto rest much as possible,
and Is willing 10 let other people rest,
but he doesn't want to drive them into
it, He generally wants a glass or two
OF soda, a few cigars and newspa-
per. He doesn't compel other people
to sell him such things, but IL they are
willing to do so, he doesn't see why
they should be fined or imprisoned in
Consequence. 1t is tolerably safe &c

Religion and morality will not stay OF

day. People do pretty much as the.

eral attempts to enforce blue laws, blu

Most of our ideas of Sunday abserv
ance come from the Puritans, who 70
very short time, comparatively. rule
some small portions of Europe, and 70
a somewhat longer time ruled par

Ocala, or any other town of the size i
the country, but what, every Sunday

said Puritans, would have merite

We wonder IL Marion's representa-

The real reason why the Times is so
sore on Marion's representative, prob
ably, is because he voted for Pinellas

and voted against the division OF Hills

opinion OF the Times. a broad minded
