SUNDAY PASTNIES

says L. A. Wilder, in the December
Case and Comment, is indicated by
cases which, it seems, cannot be who'll
ly accounted for by the strict rules of
statutory construction. Mr.. Wilder is
very properly of the opinion that when
we see court holding that a
of amusement" as a "merry-go-
round" so as to bring it within the
operation of a statute prohibiting the
keeping open on Sunday of any thea
ter, playhouse, dance house, race
track, merry go-round, circus or show,
concert. saloon, billiard or poolroom,
bowling alley, variety hall or any such
place of public. amusement, or that a
moving picture show is not a theater
or theatrical performance within the
meaning of q statute relating to Sun
day observance, it would seem that
those who are shocked at such Sunday
activities cannot lay all the blame at
the doors of the legislature.
Unquestionably, there has been an
extensive and serious loss of public
respect for the courts during the past
few years and we have been told by
noted jurists that this has been the re-
suit of undertaking magazines and
newspapers and of political speakers
caring for nothing but the moments
advantage an attack on the judiciary
may chance to yield. But in a large
measure the courts themselves have
been responsible. The motion of a
merry-go-round is around and around
and that of a scenic railroad is mostly
up and down, but the one is an amuse-
ment and the other is an edifying eX-
perience, in the opinion of the court.
So far from being proper Sunday
pastime our own opinion has been that
the scenic railway on any day of the
week is a device of the devil himself.

A CITY OF FLOWERS

M weil-Eopt 1q @ streets tI and if aoral or dec,
orations for houses and public
places in spreading throughout the
land. Newark, y. j., is going to be a
spotless town for the 250th anniver-
sary celebration which opens there on
May 1, to continue throughout the
summer. Buildings and fences are to
be put in good repair and newly paint
ed; streets and sidewalks are to be
in apple pie order; all vacant lots are
to be cleared up and planted in flow
ers and shrubbery or lawn grasses to
give them pleasing appearance. Pot
ted flowers are to decorate porches
and windows throughout the residence
quarters. All citizens, civic bodies and
school children are invited to coop
erate-and a week or more will be de-
voted to an active cleaning and plant
ing campaign for concerted work at
the proper time. .s.......
Harrisburg isn't going to celebrate
250th anniversary next year, but it
is nightly interested in being as spot
less as Newark and quite as elabor-
ately decorated from a floral stand
point. What a pretty custom it
would be if Memorial Day were to
be made flower planting day, when
every resident would plant flower in
memory of his loved ones, in addition
to decorating graves with blossoms
that will last but few hours and
then wither away.

nizes this as an abnormal prosperity
which will fall as soon as the basis on
which it was founded has ceased to
exist. An unprejudiced mind, in seek
ing for a remedy. would turn to the
conditions which prevailed before the
trade balance turned against us and
before the war suddenly" turned il
again in our favor.
If Mr. Redfield were not bound by
the free trade principles of his politi-
cal party and were free to consider
our economic position in the light of
history, he would acknowledge that
the only safe precaution against the
danger which he foresees is the re-
establishment OF the principles of pro-
lection on a basis approximately the
same as that which was in effect when
the Republican party was in power.
But partisan loyalty and prejudice,
based upon years of party affiliation.
prevent his taking a view sufficiently
broad TO enable him to see the wis
dom of such a policy. This is more
charitable view than to assume that he
realizes what remedy would place us
on a safe and sound economic founda-
ton. but is not patriotic enough to
acknowledge his past errors and aid
in the enactment OF legislation and the
adoption of policies which would re-
lieve us from the dangers he acknowl-
edges to exist and assure us continued
prosperity whether the war shall con-
tinue or not. ..f
