BLUE SUNDAY BILL
!. F|ERCELY ASSA|LED
At MASS MEETING
Opponents of Johnston Rest
Measure to Protest Its
Passage.

The scriptural admonitiors of the
Bible, the provisions Of the Constitu-
ton. and the declarations set forth In
the records of Congress are the bull
warks behind which the OPPONENTS of
the Johnston Sunday bill have en-
trenched themselves in an effort to send
the measure to defeat. The fact that
the bill will undoubtedly be brought up
in the Senate today moved them to
swift action yesterday, and mass meet
lngs were held in several churches and
halls.
The opposition centralized its efforts
in a gathering at Phythian Temple last
night. Five hundred attended the meet
ing, and the air was charged with in
vective against those who would under
take to regulate the Washingtonian'5
day Of rest. A return to the days of
was predicted II the bill passed. The
attempt to drag religion into the field OF
political debate was deplored. and the
solons of the Senate severely criticised
for their sudden return to goodness"
A protest setting forth six reasons
why the bill should not be adopted was
moved by the Rev. w. A. Henning
Of the M Street Memorial Church. and
tor of American State Papers. w. w.
Prescott, editor of the Protestant Maya
zine, and others was unanimously
adopted.
In some churches of the city pastors
either made one side or the other a
topic Of their sermons. or urged action
by the congregation in after service ad-
dresses. At the Fourth Presbyterian
Church, Thirteenth and Fairmont
streets, the Rev. Joseph T. Kelley
pleaded for the passage of the bill, and
urged his parishioners to ask their
Senators and Representatives to vote
for IL.
Seventh Day Adventists without ex-
ception declared against the bill in
special meetings yesterday, and many
will go to the Senate today in the hope
of being able to personally see Senators
and register their protests with them.
The Secular League will also present
further petitions to Congress, while the
officials of last nights meeting at
Pythian Temple are preparing to flood
the city with circulars.

One Of the most interesting political
phases of the fight over the Canadian
reciprocity agreement relates to what
will be the effect on the political for
tunes of President Taft If the Senate
turns down the reciprocity measure and
thus defeats the plans of the President.
This question is viewed from different
angles by different persons. Some think
that President Taft already has dam
aged himself irreparably by his advo-
cacy of reciprocity. Others contend that
It is the best thing he ever did so far
as his political fortunes are concerned.
Those who believe the President has
damaged himself by advocating reel
procity are not inclined to admit that
If the reciprocity bill were beaten the
President would be strengthened in the
eyes of the country.
Nevertheless, there are plenty Of poll
ticians who recognize the possibility
that If the Senate defeats reciprocity 1t
will be doing the best thing possible to
help the President. They recognize that
the best thing that can happen to man
in politics sometimes is defeat. They
perceive that If the Senate, which is
none too strong in the eyes of the
nation anyhow, turns down this reci-
procity agreement, and then President
Taft goes out before the country and
hammers away at the issue before the
people, and along with this breaches the
doctrine of lower tariffs all along the
line, he will make business extremely
bad for some OF the Senators who are
now doing their level best to defeat
reciprocity both by direction and in
direction.
Country Wants 1t.
A good many signs have been given
that the country wants reciprocity, that
the great consuming public is anxious
for it, and that it is bent on sending TO
Congress men who are disposed toward
a general reduction of tariffs.
1t is true that a great hue and cry
against reciprocity is being raised by
the amalgamated forces of high pro-
lection, and that these forces have en-
listed the National Grange and are in
some measure getting the agricultural
interests Of the STATES IL the northern
PARTS Of the country to help them.
But the best evidence OF the strength
of sentiment for reciprocity is seen in
the hesitancy, ever fear, of the Senate
to turn il down, even though there is
no question of a majority of the Senate
would like to do SO
Some Of the friends Of President Taft
say that if he will but handle the situa-

1t may have been that James B.

The tears came to his eyes. When he

that l didn't suspect the judge would
sentence John J. for as long as he did.
Il will not give out any statement
about MECHANICAL at this time, only to
say that we will keep him in such a
place that he will be of service to the
state. I will continue on gathering
evidence against Schmidt and Cap
Ian, SO we will be able to take care
of them when caught, and my office
will do all it can to assist the govern

Rainy days are good days to plan
