Governor Baldwin Tells why He
Wants Quiet Sundays.

Winsted, Conn.,, June 27.-Discuss-
ing Sunday observance laws, matter
now before the Legislature, Governor
Baldwin said the question should be
treated on a basis of these general
POSITIONS:
First-Sunday to a large part OF our
population is and has been for CEN
turtles primarily day of rest and
religious observation. No change in
the law ought to be made to disturb
seriously either the rest of these people
or the desire on their part for the
maintaining of such religious observ-
ance.
Second Psychologists agree that one
day in about a week ought to be given
to entire rest or change of occupation.
Viewed simply, therefore, as a means
of securing mental, moral and physical
health, Sunday ought to be kept as a
general rule as day of rest and repair.
Third-It is perhaps corollory from
these positions to say that Sunday
ought to be kept as a quiet day. | am
not in favor of facilitating noisy games.
Healthful exercise on Sunday is as
good as it is on any other day, so long
as it does not violate the principles
above laid down. People ought not to
be forced to go to church on Sunday,
but neither should they be disturbed
while there or coming and going. Bur-

WILLIAM T. POTTER.
A Former Resident OF MiddIebury
Passes Away in South Dakota.


The following is from the Lead Daily
Call of South Dakota of June 2, and tells
of the death of one of Middlebury's for
mer residents:
Funeral services for the late William
I. Potter of this city were held at the
Masonic Temple, at o'clock this after
noon and were attended by very large
number of sorrowing friends. The SER
vices were conducted under the auspices
of the Golden iStar lodge, No. o, A. F. &
A. M. of this city and were attended by
the several organizations of which the
deceased was a member. Rev. D. NJ.
Brown conducted the religious cere-
monies at the hall, quartette composed
of Mr.. and Mrs. A. l.. Coolidge, Miss
Staples and Mr.. Thorpe, provided appro-
pirate music. The active pail bearers
we're: Memo Voight, Charles Struven,
L. B. Klingler. E. A. Nodler, Chris.
Ruth and Glenn Hart. The honorary
pail bearers were: Geo. V. Ayres, j. A.
Spargo, j. w. Freeman, Ernest May,
Richard Blackstone and a lbert Steele.
Interment was in the Masonic cemetery,
where w. j. McMackin conducted appro.
pirate burial rites. Lead and Deadwood
Communicates of the knights Templar
were in attendance upon the funeral, as
were the Homestake veterans and the
employees from the surface workings of
the Homestake, in which labor was sus-
pended during the funeral. Every Or
ganization represented at the funere
sent floral memorials of beauty, signify
ing the affection in which Mr.. Potter
was held in this community. In the
religious services at the hall, Rev.
Brown said that death is great event,
especially to one who has travelled the
journey Of life for many years and had
the experience of living in the flesh.
Even greater event than birth is death.
Mr.. Brown called attention to the many
years spent by the deceased in life and
to the fact that Thomas jefferson and
John Adams, two of the patriots of rev.
olutionary days, had lived during the
infancy of Mr.. Potter. He paid a glow
ing tribute to the memory of the de.
parted and read appropriate passages
from the scriptures. The services were
impressive.
