The s.bbath ana SUNDAY

The discussion of the question anent
moving picture theatres being allowed to
open on Sundays brings to mind a book
1 read not long since by the Rev. DR..
A. II. Lewis and published by the Amer
ican Sabbath Tract society. entitled a
Critical History of the Sabbath and the
Sunday said layman.
''Dr Lewis, who died recently, was a
minister of the Seventh Day Baptist de-
nomination. He wrote most earnestly to
prove that Saturday was still the true
Sabbath and that the Christians should
observe it as such. He contended that
Saturday was misnomer. Sunday, he
pointed out was the Lords day and was
observed as such by the early church.
l gathered that it was we'll enough to
recognize the Lords day, but that Chris
endom was committing a grievous sin In
not observing the Sabbath as day of
rest and worship. no matter what its
attitude toward Sunday might be.

enth day Christians, and they were blame
less in their lives and very pious"

to guess how many presidential post
offices there We're in this state the
answer would probably have been 4C
or so. There are III. with salaries
ranging from $1,000 to $1,000.
Birmingham. of course, has the
largest postoffice. 1 can remember
when thriving cities of 5000 inhabi-
tants had third class postmasters. the
maximum salary being $1,000 Today
towns of about 500 inhabitants have
second class postmasters with salaries
of $4,000 and upwards. Jasper was re-

the second class, with $4,000 postmas-

class. Admission has almost reached the
first class, and Ensley and Bessemei

FRIDAY AFTERNOON, MAY 30, 1918
MEETING OF DIRECTORS.
ROOSEVELT'S COMPLETE YINDI-
CATION.

We are always glad to see the truth
prevail, no matter who is a party TO
the controversy. In the case Of Mr..
Roosevelt. we think. he has many a
time ruthlessly and without Just
cause or provocatIon, damaged per
sonal character, where the individual
stood In the way of his plans. placing
one after another in his "Annanias
Club" In the Islander case at Mar
quette, Mich, which has been attract
Ing great deal of attention, and
which has come TO sudden termin-
alton by the withdrawal of all the
charges made by the defendant and
which We're the subjects Of the Sian
der suit, Mr. Roosevelt has gained 4
great victory and secured q complete
pindiCation. And we are glad of II.
In the beginning we thought the
charges false and possibly malicious.
Il seemed absurd to state that Mr..
Roosevelt was an habitual and heavy
drinker.
His remarkable physique. his ex-
tremely strenuous life, and all that he
could endure and did endure physically
constituted n complete answer to the
charge that he was drinking to excess.
These two conditions are incompati-
bic. They cannot exist at the same
time in the same man. The testI-
mony taken In the case. and under
which the charges broke down, shows
that while Mr. Roosevelt il not :
total abstainer. he is an extremely
moderate drinker. And 30 the Editor
IN whose paper the allegations were
made and that we're the basis of the
SANDER suit came forward. and IN
open court stated he was mistaken In
his Impressions Of Mr. Roosevelt's
personal habits. and took back every
thing he had published On the sub
ject.
A verdict was entered for the plain
TIN and Mr.. Roosevelt generously de
elIned TO accept the $4,000 damages
which the verdict awarded and suE-
gested In addition that he pay his own
costs.

TIE TARIFF LOBBY.

The President has acted Iudlciously
as the representative of all the peo=
pie in warning the country Of the oper=
atoms of the lobby that Is trying 10
pervert the representatives Of some
Of the people. Men hired b. the bene-
ficiaries Of the tariff swarm all over
Washington and are trying by all the
arts of their kind to bully. cajole Or
corrupt enough Senators to mutllate
and deform the tariff bill.
Every man who thinks the new tariff
would Injure his business Is entitled
to go to Washington and get what he
thinks are the facts before his own
Senators. other Senator'S and commit
tees, If there be any opportunity. But
the lobby does not stop ut that. Every
: sort of misrepresentation Il employed
Every effort is made to create fake
public sentiment IN the States from
which susceptible Senators come, and
II any Senator Ii suspected of being
accessible to grosser influence they
will certainly be tried on him.
There Is no way of preventing this
but publicly is a pretty sure means Of
defeating 1t. There is no way of pre-.
venting men from talking to Senators
or entertaining them with dinners
where the beverage list Is not limited
to grape juice. Within the limits D
honesty and good faith there Is NJ
reason why this should be prevented
No one supposes that the Senate, llk,

Senators to support what he think
