Innocent Sabbath Recreation.

The Presbyterian General Assembly refused to
relax the ban of that church Sunday amusements
though of the delegates earnestly pleaded for
the workers who have no other leisure for outdoor
sports except on Sunday. The effort to confne the
ban to "commercialized" amusements failed and the
old ban remains, as an edict of the Presbyterian
Church, to be generally ignored by Presbyterians
and everybody else. Outdoor life to the people of
the cities is now regarded as essential health
we'll happiness and the Sabbath is well OBJ
served in the city in the country, with the people
attending religious services in the morning and get
ting for hike automobile ride in the after
noon while the youngsters play ball tennis or
romp will when they are free from Sunday school,
Few people in this day look upon these innocent
efforts to utilize part of Sunday for recreton as
reprehensble, whether the churches maintain the ban
against the practice or not. The Puritan Sabbath
has gone and it will never return. There are few
people still living who look back on the Puritan
Sunday with neither pleasant sacred memories.
The Presbyterian General Assembly may believe
that the church modify its old decree against
Sunday recreation for fear of losing its moral tone
and rigid discipline, but contempt for the law is
serious danger than the observance of reasonable
and liberal law. There has not been time in many
years when the churches trying to exert an nu
political life and legislation for the moral up
lift of the people they today they might have
great influence, too if they progressive they
profess But when those who call themselves Protest
ants become arbitrary in their church bans than
the old Mother Church. they should be surprised
if the spirit of protest rises against them and the
people go their way without regard to the eocesias-
tical DEGREES and look upon these they did upon
the Pope's bull against the comet 80
1t is about 800 years since the blue laws of Con-
necticut made by the old Puritan fathers, and
New England people deny that they ever existed
except in historical fiction. The Presbyterian Cen
eral Assembly met in Chicago in May 1914, not in
Plymouth Plantation in 1870: and while it did not
deny the divine right of mother to kiss her children
on Sunday it attempted to deny her the right to take
her children to the park on Sunday and watch them
play

THE NARRowEsT ATLANTIC.
Point at which Aviator. VIII At
tempt to Cross.

Between Brazil and Guinea the Atlantic
Ocean is only about 1,soO miles wide.
From Newfoundland to Ireland. the mar
rowest breadth north Of the Equator, is
nearly twice as far. From New York TO
the nearest point of France Is nearly
three times as far. Hitherto most schemes
of aerial flight across the Atlantic have
contemplated some northern route. That
suggested by the authorities of the San
Francisco Exposition is by way OF
Labrador. Greenland and Iceland. 1t has
remained for the Dutch aviator. Van der
Born. TO make the first preparation to
cross the ocean from continent to con-
tinent without stop, and he proposes to
take the southern route. where the At
lantic is narrowest
Van der Born is now supervising the
construction of a new type of hydroaero-
plane. When II Is complete he will go
to the port Of Konakey. in French Guinea,
whence he promises to fly to Pernambuco.
Brazil.
The scheme is more plausible than any
of the other discussed trans-oceanic
flights. II is natural and sensible that the
first crossing should be attempted at the
narrowest place. even though the flight
must be longer than any one OF the
stages OF the Greenland route. There is, of
course, the danger OF tropical air cur
rents, but these are not much more to be
feared than the storms Of sub-Arctic
regions which are suggested for the
northern route.
No one who has observed the progress
Of aviation doubts that before long the
Atlantic vii be crossed by some venture
some flyer. There is no reason to main
tain an attitude of scepticism toward the
aviators Of our own day. who have done
so much in so brief a time. and who
may do as much more within the next

The agitation for an increase in rates has been
going on for more than three years. Hearings on
the present application to the commission began in
November last :
There is decision yet nor is there any as
surance that one will be made speedily Neither
there any certainty that the decision will give inn

The name of Representative Caleb Powers, of Ken
tueky, seldom appears in the newspapers, and yet he
must have been of the busiest members of the
House since he has been there required six
teen solid pages of the Congressional Record hold
his speech quoting from his otter speeches. telling
what he has accomplished and what he has stood for
and how his efforts have been appreciated Repre-
sentative Powers is always there too when it
to voting as he shows by series of comparisons of
his and other members records To use his own
words: Take the case of Hon. Oscar Underwood,
the majority leader who has charge of the Democratic
ship of state on the floor of the House and who is
expected to always be present. voted only fortyeght
times during the first session of the Sixtythrd Con-
gress and missed voting twenty-four times That was
my record exactly. l voted forty-eight times and
missed twentyfour times during that session" 1t is
well that Mr.. Powers has taken effective measures to
let his constituents know about all this.

The friendship ana cooperation Of the

by the naval authorities Of this country.
Almost simultaneously with the &C
ceptance Of the mediation offer the Navy
Department granted to three officers of
the Brazilian navy the privilege Of re-
ceiving instruction IN naval warfare on
United States battIeships, and these OH

Naval strategists as well as diplomats
regard the policy OF training South
American naval officers aboard the mod

ing wisdom and Importance. in view OF
the fact that three South American coun-
tries are equipping themselves for war

time Brazil and Chile-possess seven hat
tleships OF the Dreadnought and super

these are regarded by naval authorities
as seven battleships added to the Ameri-

ana welcome reinforcement to the naval
strength Of the United States In case
Of war with an important power. From
