DECLARES THE PLAYERS ARREST IS
AGAINST LAWS Of GOD AND HUMANITY
Rev. M. N. J%orgenson Bitterly Arraigned the Men Back of
Arrests OF Ball Players Yesterday-Hearin
of Men Was Continued.

THE complainants who have had
these young men arrested for doing
Via they please on Sunday. and for
violating the Sabbath are trying to
iorce people into CHURCH and trying to
dictate what they shall do on Sunday.
1t is against the law, against the con-
stitution of the United States and
against the laws of humanity and
this great American republic which
was created with the prime object of
every man being free and equal and
possessed of the right to worship God
fashion. If my advice were taken,
the court would discharge these young
men,"
The above was a portion of what
Rev. M. N. %Jorgenson had to say to
a crowd of 800 who gathered outside
of Judge Phil McLoughlin's court this
morning when the hearing of the play
ers arrested yesterday charged with
violation of the Sabbath, was sched-
uled.
THE c~omplainants n no right to
dictate what n one sha do on Sum-
Jay, n these young men, these ath-
let1c fellows. are arrested not because
they have committed a crime. but be-
cause they have technically committed
an artificial crime. The old blue laws
of North Dakota may prohibit Sunday
baseball. but that aw is a remnant
of the dark gees. Connecticut, in the
time when they were tying Quakers
to the post and committing other acts
In violation of the rules of humanity
n God, was one of the first states
to adopt a Sunday abolition of work
rule. That particular dead law has by
precedent been handed down to all
OF the states as they were admitted
into the union. 1t is not a modern
law, made to fit local conditions, or
the present time. but one that is OBJ
solete.
Arkansas repealed that law against
working on Sunday ear ago. Nearly
every other state in the union has re-
1ected that law and repealed it. North
Dakota should do so. There is no
reason why these young men should
be arrested because they did as they
chos on Sunday or worked in order
to buy food and clothes. They worked
for their salary and no set of men
have any right to take their rights of
living away from them, and dictate
to them as to how they shall spend
the Sunday.
Il defy any one of these men. who
have caused the arrest of these ball
players to show me where in the bible
there Is any rule or law against these
young men working on Sunday. If I
were the court 1 would dismiss the
case and let these young men play
ball all they wish to.
THE complaint against these young
me charges them with violating the
state rules in regard to the Sabbath.
If these men who have caused the I'M
rightful arrest of these players, knew
their bible. they would know that Sab
bath is the seventh day of the week
n not Sunday.
Gentlemen. 1 have had my say. but

Gus.
The debate on the amusement

made in a much better spirit than at
previous sessions. The debaters of
the fact that. their opponents were

standard Of religious propriety.'
According to DR. Robertson. Grand
Forks and North Dakota are apt to be

In regard to the election of bishops.

did not feel that his time was due yet,
and that he had refused to allow his
name to be mentioned as a possibility.
The eight men out OF the two hundred
on the first ballot who we're made
bishops, were Of a high average in
ability. They were representative men
in the leadership of the church.
DR.. Robertson stated this afternoon
that at the conference he had found a
growing respect and appreciation for
Wesley college, among the bishops and
educational leaders and the earnest
wish that it be pushed forward vigor-
ously. so hat the full of it's
service might be completed.

congress should make the laws so that

His talk created considerable inter-

about the office of Judge McLough-

Following the arraignment of the

The players will not be here next
