OPINION HANDED DOWN.
IS NOT REQUIRED BY STATUTE
JUDGE Oscar Hailam Lays Down Policy
Eroadiy-Rairoad and Warehouse
Commission Taken BY Surprise
Reversal of Trial Court
Expected.

st. Paul.-Minnesota will not en-
force the operation of Sunday trains
except in cases where the question OF
public convenience is strongly COLI
cerned. The policy was broadly laid
down by Judge Oscar Hallam in an
opinion handed down in supreme court.
Judge Hallam said that this policy as
shown in the statutes of the state mas
been in the direction of restriction OF
Sunday activities and that no statute
has ever commanded Sunday actlV-
tiles or Sunday labor.
Railway Company Appeals.
The Great Northern Railway COM
pany, which for II years has been
operating a Sunday local passenger
train between Grand FORKS and Du-
luth, suddenly discontinued the train
last November. The railroad and
warehouse commission ordered the
train rescheduled. The railway COM
pany appealed Judge Fred n. Dick
son in district court set the order
aside and an appeal was taken to the
supreme court.
Operation Sometimes Unlawful.
Judge Hallam, in his opinion, said
in part:
Under some state statutes not dis
similar to ours, it has been held that
the operation of passenger trains on
Sunday is unlawful We need not
adopt that extreme view. The defend
ant in this case does not urge it and
after operating Sunday trains on this
line for many years, it is not in po-
sition to urge it.
ut may be stated that the opera
ton of these Sunday trains would not
be unlawful. Clear it is that the pub
lie policy of this state has been in
the direction of the restriction and
against the operation of Sunday activ-
tiles.
Unnecessary Labor Forbidden.
Sunday is recognized as day of
rest Many public activities as well
as labor not necessary are forbidden.
No statute of the state has ever COM
manded Sunday labor or Sunday ac-
tivities OF any sort. The operation OF
Sunday trains is no exception in Min
nesota. Some roads in Minnesota OPP
crate no Sunday local trains on any
of their lines. No statute has ever re-
quired it through the arising of state
of facts that would justify an order
making the compulsory operation Of
Sunday passenger trains.
The trial court is Of the opinion
that the facts do not make this such
a case. We are of the opinion that the
judgment of the trial court must be
sustained
c. f. Elmquist of the railroad and
warehouse commission, and Attorney
General Lyndon A. Smith were taken
by surprise at the opinion of the SUI
preme court, both having anticipated
a reversal of the decision Of the trial
court.

THE DECLINE OF WEATHER
SLIPPER STTTTONS

The traditional annual exit OF the
grounding on Feb. ,, TO forecast the
weather for the next six weeks, is one
of the last of the pretty and pic
turesque old sGperstitions. 1t dates
from q time when the weather was
one of the largest subjects of human
interest.
Life in the old time country was
passive. philosophic and contempla-
tive. In the common slang phrase,
there was nothing doing" In the
sky, though, there were thrilling bat
ties between conflicting forces Of
storm and sunshine. 1t was natural
that to the people of the more remote
country. these formed an absorbing
subject, like ball games and politics
today.
Also rural interests are closely al
lied TO weather. A good rain is worth
millions of dollars in single state.
The old-time countryman was skill
full in reading the heavens. But his
forecasts were of short range. Hence
it was natural that rural wiseacres
have tried to. predict weather by hun
dreds cf traditional indications, of
which the ground-hOg sign is possibly
the best known.
In tile town life Of today the
weather is of minor Importance. Its
discomfCrts are minimized by suitable
clothing and good walks. Most peO-
pie think Of the weather only az it
means personal comfort or discom-
fort. A rain may be relieving labor
and positive distress. and cheapening
food But if it causes a little inter-
ruption OF plans or makes one feel un-
comfortable, the townsman growls.
The newspapers, feeling the quaint
ness of the old grounding and other
superstitions, do their best to keep
them alive as a pretty survival of old
time country life. But the town bred
/ young folks scarcely know what a
/ grounding is.
