ROME DON'T RULE HERE

Law UNCONSTITUTIONAL Judge
o'Rourke Of the Allen circuit
court Of Indiana, has decided
that the law passed by the leg
islsture Of that state, making
Columbus day, = legal holiday,
is Unconstitutional. The United
States constitution, as also
those Of the several state con-
stitutions, prohibits the making
Of any laws, that shall tend 20
the recognition or establishment
Of any religious organization.
Columbus Is a saint Of the Ro-
man Catholic church, and hence
the making his day a legal hol-
iday, Is governmental reeoani-
ton Of a church day.
