LEGAL Day Of Rest,

The New York court Of appeals has
given a decision sustaining the one
day-rest-in-seven' law that meets the
strong approval Of progressively
minded citizens. The following SEN
tences are worth quoting: I'VE have
no power Of decision of the question
whether 1t is the wisest and best way
to Offset these conditions and to give
employees the protection which they
need. even II we had any doubt on
that subject. Our only inquiry must
be whether the provision on its face
seems reasonable. fair and appropri-
ate, and whether 1t can fairly be be-
lieved that its natural consequences
will be In the direction of the better
ment OF public health and welfare,
and therefore that 1t is one which the
state for Its protection and advantage
may enact and enforce. e."-Chicago Eve
