In a desperate fight with a prison CT. Policeman James Ramsey of the Second precinct station was stripped of his uniform, which was torn near ly to ribbons before he was forced to knock his prisoner Senseless with a blow from his day stick.

WHAT IS RIGHT
 ON MONDAY IS. RIGHT ON SUNDAY
So Says Adventist in Letter to Assistant Town Clerk
 Mullins

A new phase to the agitation for more liberal Sabbath is added to the fight being waged in this city, through the receipt of a communica- tion by Assistant Town Clerk William T. Mullins from K. C. Russell of Washington, D. C., secretary of the Religious Liberty. Association, de- partment of the General Conference of the Seventh Day Adventists.
 MT. Russell says in part:
 T have observed from the public press of your city that you have been having quite a vigorous crusade there for Sunday closing. This is pro- gram that is being foisted upon dif- ferent cities throughout the United States. These crusades are becoming more frequent as the years. go by.
 While I am a believer in the Sab- bath, and observe the same very strictly, yet I am thoroughly opposed to civil governments interfering in any way whatsoever with any citizens regarding Sunday as he may elect This he should be restrained from doing not only on Sunday but on all other days of the week. Civil government is established, not for the protection of days, but for the protection of it's citizens. The Sunday institution is re- ligious, and only religious, and there fore the State has no right to legislate concerning that question. The State can deal only with incivility
 II trust that you will use your in- fluence in opposing every attempt, on the part of any citizen to invade the rights of people in questions of a religious character. Of course, if ones religion should in any way lead him to interefere with the right of life, property, or reputation then the State could say, hands off. Tn other words, the States only duty in such matters is to protect it's citizens in the en- joyment of their religious beliefs whatever they may be when they do not interfere with the rights of oth- ers.''
