of rest a week. but the other employees mentioned generally do not.
 Now very great deal of this Sunday work is absolutely indispensable. would not be understood as wishing to abolish it, but I do want to make 1t clear how the Sunday laws have failed to meet the test in commercial age. And T am wondering how long the church is going to remain quiescent. Long ago 1t struck with vigor for legislation that would pro- tect the Sabbath and got it. And then, because the times changed. the legislation failed. But after all "the Sabbath was made for man." Man Is the more im- portant. Will not the church strike with vigor today for legislation that will protect man?
 A law requiring one day of rest in seven. regardless of which day 1t is, for all workmen-absolutely demanding that one rest day with no loophoes of ''neces- sity and charity"-would add one-seventh to their working force, and let one- seventh of their force by rotation rest each day in the week. But it would cosr more to employ a larger working force, and the industries not necessarily con- tinuous would close down on Sundays.
 Thus the Sabbath would be better pro- tected than it is now; thus men would be protected from the necessity of work ing seven days a week in order to hold their jobs. A man who has one day of rest a week, whether of his own choice CT by compulsion, is a better worker, a better citizen, and a better man than one who works every day, even if his rest day is not Sunday.
 Various church organizations have de- clared against seven day york; in Con- necticut the Congregational churches dur ing the last session of the legislature tried to secure the passage of a bill provid- ing for one day of rest in seven; but there is as yet no irresistible demand put forward with the strength of a thousand clamoring churches in each state. Yet this of all issues is the most natural one for the religious forces of the community to make common cause over with the workers.
 Could the church do a more Christian thing than to put on It's fighting clothes again, as 1t did in colonial days. and get on to the statute books of the states laws that will protect men from the debasing effects of seven day labor3

THE SOUTH SOLD ITS COTTON
Efforts to Get the Farmers to Hold
 Their Product Unavailing

From the New York Journal of Com- merce.
 Where are tine speculators, politicians and newspapers who few weeks ago were so strenuously advising cotton growers to hold their cotton for 12 to IA cents? Today the price of the sta- pie is about 10 cents, the largest crop on record is in sight, and cotton Is being ginned at an unprecedented rate. Last month farmers meetings were held all over the south. Senators, Con- gressmen, governors. commissioners of agriculture, leading newspapers, and others, all bent their best endeavors to- ward persuading the grower to hold his cotton at all hazards. Crop reports were colored and exaggerated to assist this movement. Incidentally the gov- ernment crop reports and some others came in for abuse because they did not suppress information that interfsred with the altrusistic operations of these self constituted friends of the cotton grower.
 It has been intimated, how correctly Is not yet made known, that the whole movement was inspired by certain big pull speculators. who, caught by the prospects of a bumper crop, resorted to these extraordinary means of deceiv- ing the grower into holding cotton while they got from under as best they could. It does not appear, however that the farmers took such advice as seriously as was hoped. Seemingly many of them have learned the game. sold their cotton and, allowed the be- lated bulls to wriggle through as best they can. Whether this supposition Is correct or not the farmers of the south will do well to be wary of advice from such misleading sources as endeavored to guide them this crop season.
 There Is no doubt that the cotton crop will be profitable one at 10 cents pound, and though abundance at a moderate price may not be so profit able for some as scarcity at a high, price, 1t Is better fo- ~'s Avau for plant-I erss

SUNDAY LAWS VS. RESTDAY LAWS
By JOHN A. FITCH

Of men are obliged to work seven days ii every week. Railroads, troiieys, teie- graphs and telephones. blast furnaces, smelters. cement mills, paper mills-these are well known as seven day industries. Yet if the facts were known l think we would find that majority of the seven day workers in other employments so general has continuous operation be- come, and so unmarkfed its advance Canneries and beet sugar factories are seasonal industries that run seven days a week and 24 hours a day during the season. Power plants, heating and light plants are operated seven days week. Even the men in the railroad pumping stations, whether in the New England hills, on tho prairies of Nebraska or cn the western slope, work seven days a week.
 But it comes closer home than this bare statement would indicate Your nlilkman comes every day rain or shine, winter and summer. Your paper boy makes his rounds every day. The baker delivers hot rolls on Sunday morning. If you want to go on 8 journey on Sun day you may go to the telephone and girl-a Sunday worker--connects you with taxioab company. A cab driven by . Sunday worker is sent for you, or you can take the street car and give your nickel to a Sunday worker You go to the station and buy a ticket of a Sum day worker and then you buy maga- zine of another At the train crew of Sunday workers minister to your com fort and safety. You go into the dining car for lunch and other Sunday workers wait on you. If you arrive at your des- tination before night you go to a hote1 and Sunday working employees take your Uri tn to dinner and are waited on by other Sum- day workers. In countless ways you &C., cept the services of people to whom Sun day is a day of work.
 Most of these people who waited on you are not only Sunday workers but seven day workers. Newspaper employees and telephone operaors generally get ono day

reau).
 Sunday laws in the United States were nut on the statute books through the cf- forts of churchmen They are no mere rest day laws, these restrictions that have come down in America from colonial days; they are designed to protect a Sabbath from dissertation. They do not generally designate the day of rest as Sunday" but as 'the first day of the week, commonly called the Sabbath" and one state at least describes the day as .the Sabbath, commonly called the Lord s day."
 That reverent spirit of devotion that put such expressions into secular laws, and rade the state the defender of religion while at the same time declaring church and state to be forever separate, mas the spirit that has animated much that Is hest in our national Character. When the Sunday laws were written we were A, simple people with no large factories, no railroads nor trolleys. telegraph nor telephone, There were no larger cities and there wasSno labor problem as we know it today. So the Sunday laws wero inst Sunday laws and no more. Nobody thoueht of them as affecting the relation of employer to employe
 But now all is changed. Where our fathers needed a law to protect a religious institution, we need law to protect ,nen And in a complex age we are vainly trying to accomplish the latter through the medium of the old Sunday laws. It Is like going to meet machine guns with bows and arrows.
 For fine old Sunday lava have broken down. They were not needed to protect men at first But the rise of that need has not only demonstrated the need of stronger law; it has also rendered the Sunday laws useless as defenders of the Sabbath. What are the facts? In transportation, communication and manufacturing thousands upon thousands

NNcE there were Three Women who got together of an afternoon and O went into Executive Session and proceeded to sew Buttons on the Glitter known as Man.
 They were all Charter Members of the Inner Council of the Lady Harpooners and talked from the Heart
 Number One said she loved her Walter But Then she proceeded to amplify the "But'' for about three-quarters of ar Hour, at the End of Which Time the Partner of her Sorrows looked like g Decimal Fraction with a Minus Sign in front of it.
 Number Two tipped it off that Fred was all a Woman could ask for-Only Then and dragged the quivering Remnants over Fence.
 Number Three confided that Henry would be all right-If. After she got through putting Identification Tags on him he was lowering in the Social Scale between a. Digger Indian and a Hired Assassin.
 Just when they had the Male Con- tingent erased from the Map, a Lady Friend joined the Group. She was a Hold Over and had been Messed about on the Bargain Counter until she was Shelf Worn consequently she was an Object of Pity to all members of the Fair Sex who were Happily Married.
 Producing Can-Opener from her Van ity Bag she removed the Lid from a rich and juicy lot of Scandal which her Brother had picked up at the Club.
 Speaking as a Friend, she thought 1t her Duty to put them Hep to what Every One was saying about Walter and Fred and Henry.
 Whereupon all Three went up into the Air simultaneously and began to Aviate.
 Number One said that Walter was One Man in a Thousand and told her Every thing.
 Number Two proved that Fred never got Mud on his wings except when he was trying to protect a friend.
 Number Three intimated that Henry was never safe from Attack because so
