WOULD LIFT BARS
Committee That Visited Sol
diers' Homes Urges Ad-
hitting Wives.
TO AVOID SEPARATIONS
Also Recommends That Saloons be
Removed Two-Thirds OF Mile
from Institution.

Members of John Buford post, G.
A R., OF this city have received from
the Illinois department commander
printed copies of reports made by
committees that recently visited and
inspected the soldiers institutions OF
the state.
OF special interest here is the re-
port on the old soldiers home at
Quincy. Repeating recommendations
made by the committee of 1909 the
committee just reporting advises that
additional room be provided for sol
diers and their wives, so that no
couple need be separated on admis-
sion TO the home. The desire is that
the present state statute be changed
70 permit widows of soldiers dying in
the home to remain in the institution
! and to permit the accommodation OF
/ other widows whenever the widows
home at Wilmington is overcrowded.
WOULD KEEP SALOONS AWAY.
The saloon evil is given a blow in
the following paragraph;
I'VE believe that the interests OF
the members of the home in Quincy
will be promoted by the removal of
the temptation that comes through,
end because of nearby saloons, and
this committee urges that the legis-
Iature enact a law to prohibit sa-
looms within a radius of two-thirds
of a mile from the outer limits of
the home grounds.
For two and one-half years there
have been no deaths in the Illinois
soldiers orphans home at Normal.
The membership of the home is made
up as follows:
Children of civil war veterans .2O9
Children of Spanish war veterans AZ
Dependent children under years
of age when admitted ...... Al
Number of girls. 1913; number of
boys. 1877; average age u y years
number in hospital, none
In mailing out the printed reports
Department Commander James A.
Connolly has written to the Grand
Army posts in Illinois:
ROOM FOR MORE.
There is room in the home at
Normal for more children, and if the
comrades know OF those who are
needing the splendid care sure to be
p given, whether the sons and daugh-
tiers of civil war veterans, or soldiers
of the Spanish-American war, they

ONE DAY FOR REST.
Existing Sunday Laws Fail to Help the
Worker

Existing Sunday Laws Fail to Help the
Worker.
Sunday laws in the United States
were put on the statute books through
the efforts of churchmen. They are
no mere rest day laws, these restric
tons that have come down in America
from colonial days. They are design
ed just to protect the Sabbath from
dissertation. But where our fathers
needed law to protect religious in
stitution we need law to protect men,
and in a complex age we are vainly
trying to accomplish the latter through
the medium of the old Sunday laws.
The Sunday laws have failed to meet
the test in a commercial age. And |
am wondering how long the church is
going to remain quiescent. Long ago
it struck with vigor for legislation
that would protect the Sabbath and
got it, and then because the time
changed the legislation failed But,
after all, "the Sabbath was made for
man." Man is the more important
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 it is
for all workmen-absolutely demand
ing that one rest day with no loophoes
of necessity and charity'-would re-
suit in two things The industries
necessarily continuous 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 cost more to employ larger
working force, and the industries not
necessarily continuous would close
down on Sundays. Thus the Sabbath
would be better protected than it is
now; thus men would be protected
from the necessity Of working 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 or
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.-John A. Fitch

THE NoNUNIONIST.

Trade unionism has grown so
old and so strong and has been
so much patronized by surface
thinkers, as well as by that large
class who always seek the east
est way. no matter how indirect.
that the opposition Is not now so
much directed against the union
as against everything it does.
So long and vociferously have
the enemies of trade unions de-
clared for the open shop that no
doubt many of them really be-
lieve that they are fighting for
some principle of liberty and
justice and not to serve their
selfish ends.
Trade unionists have for cen
turtles believed that they are up
holding the rights of men. the
welfare of their class.
The nonunion workman is I'M
popular with his fellow laborer.
but he is in good standing with
his employers. for they know
him to be their friend and that
he helps them against the COM
mon enemy, who would take a
portion or all the profits they
otherwise would get.-Clarence
