WOMAN WITH CAT
WORKED ELKO TOO

The following article appears in the
Reno Gazette:
Chief of Police Hillhouse today re-
ceived letter of warning from Win
nemucca, saying that an elderly wom-
an with a cat in a basket had secured
in the neighborhood of $50 there in
one day with sympathy plea asking
for money to buy l. ticket to Reno.
The same woman appeared on the
Reno streets this morning with a story
to the effect that she wished to buy a
ticket to Sacramento.
The letter from Winnemucca said
that the woman appealed particularly
to the sympathies of the Masons and
that it was understood that she was
posted as an impostor by the Masonic
order. Chief of Police Hillhouse in
structed his officers to find the wom-
an, if possible, and bring her in for
investigation"
This woman also visited Elko and
made a sympathetic plea to Masons.
She was readily recognized as an i'm
postor, however. by Postmaster j. c.
Doughty, who sent warning to Reno
and Winnemucca to be on the look
out for her. 1t appears however, that
she beat his letter to the last men,
toned town, and the bretheren there
taking her at her word, amply pro-
vided for her apparent needs.
Mr.. Doughty provided her with Il
couple of meals and lodging while she
was here. as he would any woman in
DISTRESS. and the county commits.
sioners gave her transportation out of
town.

Congress shall make no law respect
ing an establishment of religion. or
prohibiting the free exercise thereof"
Sunday is an establishment OF relig-
ion.
If it is uncivil to do on Sunday what
it is perfectely proper to do an 9TH
er days of the week, it must be be-
cause of sacredness of the day, either
assumed or genuine. For that rea-
son Sunday law will enforce COM
pliance with religious custom, and
will be religious law. Religious laws
always have been found to promote
persecution. A Sunday law will pro-
tect Sunday, not the citizen. II will
make lawful acts crimes merely be-
cause done on that day.
Sunday is not the Sabbath, for the
commandment reads. THE seventh
day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy
God" and the seventh day is Satur-
day. A Sunday law would tend to
give religious people some foundation
for Sunday observance, for which
there is no command in Scripture But
when religion must turn to the state
for power which heaven does not give
it, that is a sad day for religion.
The securing of Sunday law is an
attempt to settle a religious question
of civil law. 1t is certain TO be- un-
satisfactory, and to make trouble, for
it one religious law may rightfully be
passed, others may be enacted. Then
whose religious Gogmas shall be en-
forced. Naturally those of the church
in power. This means the establish.
ment of a state church. But no Prot
estant desires to be forced by the
state TO attend Catholic services. and
adore the host. nor should they be.
No Catholic would wish TO be forced
by the police To be immersed, and it
However, if the legislature opens the
flood-gates to religious laws by pass
ing a Sunday law. they will have es-
tablished a precedent, and other re-
ligious enactments will follow. Let
the prosecutions by the Russian state
church, and those of the Dark Ages.
when the church ruled empires, and
ignorance and superstition prevailed
as result, warn us against the pass
age of n Sunday law. "One-day-rest-
in-seven" law, or any other religious
measure.

JAMES HAY COMPL|-
MENTS INDEPENDENT

James Hay, manager of the Sunset
Grocery company paid compliment
to the Independent last night that was
appreciated. He stated that he never
fully realized the benefits to be de-
rived from judicious newspaper ad-
vcrtising until the past few weeks. He
has been doing splendid business
and he gives due credit for the same
to his al in this paper.
The Independent is trying to give to
its advertisers full value for money
invested in space, and such express
ions as those of Mr.. Hay are most
gratifying TO the publishers.
There is no denying that judicious
advertising in II paper with wide cir.
Culation pays, and it is an undisputed
fact that this paper has the largest
daily circulation of any paper ever
published in Elko county.

A VIGOROUS PROTEST
AGAINST SUNDAY BILL
To the Editor:

To the Editor:
The Nevada legislature is to be ask
ed by Mr.. G. l.. Tufts. of Berkeley.
Cal, of the Weekly Rest Day league,
vada. to pass Sunday law similar
to the one overwhelmingly defeated in
California, according to recent reports.
The misleading title to that bill was,
An Act to Provide for One Day in
Seven as Day of Rest" In effect it
was Sunday bill, if such a law
is passed, however, it can bring only
evil TO our state.
Many good people are exercised
over the condition of the world today,
because Of the increase of crime and
immortality that prevails on every
hand, and are seeking tn remedy these
conditions. But the cure is not to be
found in Sunday laws.
The false idea that everything good
ought to be enforced by civil law, is
contrary 10 the Bible and the prin-
ciples upon which our nation is found
ed. With questions of religion and
the conscience the state has no right
TO meddlc. Prayer is highly COM
mendable act, but the policeman has
no right to stand over the citizen with
club, and say IF you won't pray. |
will make you pray" The Lords sup
per and baptism are both sacred acts
and every Christian should do them
voluntarily, but when the state at
tempts to force them upon its citi-
2cns, it makes either hypocrites or
martyrs of all dissenters.
The Sabbath should be Observed,
but if this is not voluntary act it is
hypocrisy. Christ said, My Kingdom
is not of this world, else would my
servants fight, but now is my king
dom no from hence" His injunction
is: Render therefore unto Caesar
(thc civil governmCnD the things
which are Caesars; and unto God the
things that are Gods" Jesus sane
tions the payment of taxes and obedi-
encc tq civil law. But in religious
matters God, not the civil government
is to be obcycd, for civil government
has no right TO put itself in The place
of God to the individual. When it
enacts Sunday laws, or any other re-
Iigious laws, it does this. A total
separation of church and state is right
and proper. The first amendment to
the United States constitution is in
perfect accord with this principal,
cnunciatcd by Christ. II says that

Eultor DAILY independent,
Elko, Nevada.
Dear Sir:-The American Head
quarters of the committee for relief
in Belgium is very desirous of maxi
ing public the fact that il is now
possible for anyone To forward food
stulfs and supplies for relief in Bel
gium without paying transportation
charges. They have requested me 10
ask the press of the state of Nevada
10 issue the following statement:
The commission for relief in Bel
gium, the officially designated sole
agent through which food and sup
plies may be brought into Belgium,
has just concluded arrangements with
the postolIice department and with
the express companies whereby any
one in America may forward food
stun for relief in Belgium by parcel
post. or express without cost OF trans
portation to the sender The sup
plies needed are nonperishablc food
stuffs; also new blankets and new
clothing. On account of the postal
laws, parcel post packages cannot be
sent c. o. ID. BY following the in
structiOns of the department however,
the sender may. if he wishes, have his
postage refunded. Free delivery will
be made on all packages sent by the
following express companies:
The Adams Express Company.
The American Express Company.
The Wells Fargo Express Company.
The Southern Express Company.
The Great Northern Express Com
pany.
The Northern Express Company.
"rhe response of America to the
appeal of Belgium has been crafty
ing, but the task of provisioning over
six million people, 100000 of whom
are absolutely destitute, requires the
despatch of a shipload of food every
other day, and the maintaining of a
transport line comprising thirty-one
steamers.
State relief organizations should be
put on permanent basis for con-
tinued effort until summer. if not long
or. Detailed instructor for sending
packages and for obtaining the refund
transportation money is in the hands
of the state committees representing
the commission for relief in Belgium.
They have also been posted by permis-
sion of Postmaster General Burlcson
in the $1,000 postoffices throughout the
United States. Similar instructions
have been placed in the offices of
$4,000 express companies. This infor-
nation may also be had by addressing
the commission for relief in Belgium,
II Broadway. New York City"
The humanitarian character Of this
service is so apparent that am con
vinced that the press of the state will
exhibit its usual generosity in this
case, and respectfully ask you TO as
sist this suffering people by. giving
publicity to the fact that means have
been provided for the free transpor-
tation of such contributions of money
and supplies as our charitably inclin-
cd citizens may see fit to offer.
Thanking you personally for your
cooperation, I remain.
