A PROPOSED SUNDAY LAW.

There is such conflict of ideas con- c.rning the observance of Sunday that nothing is to be gained by legislation upon Sunday observance, There are several proposed bills before the ju- dietary committee of the legislature, and the latest. which is marked "a substitute for house bill No. 73S.' is creating no little amusement. This new measure defines Sunday as a day of general rest and quiet for the more convenient performance of religious and charitable offices and duties and to promote thought, forecast and fam ily associations. It provides that per- sons who engage in business or sports shall be fined not more than $50 un- less provided with a certffcate of necessity or mercy signed by all the mem bers of the state board of health and such certificate shall be evidence that such class of actions are works of necessity and mercy. Stores keep ing newspapers may do business until 1.3e Sunday afternoon, and drug stores may keep open eight hours in the day but only under the condition that every drug store shall furnish necessary information as to direction to inquiring persons; shall keep a directory or the town ana Clly, II SuCn there be. accessible to the public use; and shall furnish room and first aid to the injured. keeping in readiness a stretcher. keeping and applying tour niquets and simple first needs, all to be done gratis. and of which the town's s or citys health officer certificate given in advance of alleged deficiency, shall be sufficient proof"
 The fact that this is a take-o off shows the temper of the public mind upon the matter The sentiment of every community regulates the observ- ance of Sunday; and the wide-open town on the Lords day is evidence that religious convictions are not strong-that business greed and jol- lity are in the ascendant. Cemmuni- ties cannot be made good by law. The old law covers the whole field. but it's observance is in accord with the spirit of each community. It cannot be otherwise.

NEGRO LvNcHINcs iN GEORGIA

The recent lylchiEgs in Georgia have attracted public attention to that state and brought out much unfavora- bic comment.

ALL EYES ON THE THAMES TO

All roads and most automobiles lead toward the Thames river today to witness the great college race between Yale and Harvard, and the river above New London will present a picturesque scene. The Thames will be lively with coats. great and small. and the banks be black with people. It is to be hoped that the wind will be moderate and the water calm that the best of conditions may be afforded both col lese crews
 As usual there are all kinds of re- ports as to inc physical condition of the crews; and Harvard's men are said to be in poer form and likely to lose the race. but in athletics Har- ward has been doing good work and winning honors this year and her rep resentatives will work hard to win in the great race today. IL is not safe to take too much stock in predictions.
