TAKE A WALK.


Tomorrow win be blue law" ac-
cording to the mandates OF the law.
Some must eschew the customary ball
game and round Of the movies" Time
will hang heavily on the hands Of many
persons who are in the habit OF buying
their entertainment rather than enter
tanning themselves.
AS substitute for the customary
amusements, take walk. Nature is
most wonderful at this time of the year.
The apple trees are full blown, there
Is every tint of green in the forests,
wild flowers are peeping up through
the verdant grass, the air is redolent
of fresh turned earth The brown
thrasher ia singing his sweetest airs
and the world is full of beauty. hope
and promise.
Get out in the open for a day. Learn
with Bryant that
To him who in the love of Nature
holds
Communion with her visible forms,
She speaks a various language.
Nature has wonderful message at
all times for those who can interpret
her moods. At present her mood is
glorious There's thrill in every dell,
a song in every tree, sermon in every
stone.
The stimulating effect of walk in
the open ways of Nature tomorrow will
be a complete antidote to the languor
of idleness. Try it.

Possibly you may be annoyed be-
cause Of the operation OF the blue
laws into which Attorney General
Havner has blown the breath of life.
II such be the case the admpnition
above will fit your case.
Many factors are worthy of consid-
GRAFTON. in this case. Fi.st, note the
Iatner viewpoint: Havner has al
ways had prnfngad respsc: ter the
law ard the sacredness Of an oath. He
advised the legislature when 1t was in
session that 'he law which he now
proposes to enforce was on the statute
books. He asked that 1t be repealed
or modified If in the Judgment of the
assembly ii did not tit modern condi-
tons. The legislature, after this due
notice. failed TO act. Now IL we con-
denim Hapner we put ourselves in the
attitude OF condemning man for en-
pertaining religious regard for his
duty to his Creator and his fellow men.
The fault. If there be such, rests with
the members Of the assembly.
In the next place the courts have
not as yet passed upon any of the con-
tentions raised by the attorney gen
eral. II is very probable that the
courts will take more liberal view
of these things than the letter of the
statutes seems to indicate. The blue
law statute Is rather broad 1t limits
activity on Sunday TO necessities" It
is up TO the courts to define this term.
We ought TO be willing at all times
TO take an inventory Of our assets and
Liabilities. We should be willing to
put our habits in the scale and test
their value or absence OF value. We
should be willing to make such modi-
fications as time and experience indi-
cate will be helpful to us as individ-
uaA and to the states and communI-
ties In which We live. A child be-
comes spoiled and willful IL II is per-
mitted to violate all the rules and reg
ulations Of the home. As nation we
have become willful in our disregard
Of laws. 1t will not harm US in the
least IL We are called down and re-
CURED to show more respect for the
laws Of our own making. II we con-
olude later that we should have larger
liberties we may then modify the stat
utes. II Is much better to do this than
1t is to disregard and violate their pro-
visions.
Finally let us keep In mind the es-
sentiaI factors In this blue law situa-
ton. Havner Is simply doing his duty.
As Americans we have taken liberty
for license. We have too little re-
gard for law. We have become laws
onto ourselves. And these statutes
can be changed. Let us neither fret
nor become childish in our criticisms.
Let us look the situation squarely in
the face and be governed by the rule
OF reason in this case which sound
thinking business men always apply to
problems with which they must deal

IOWA OPINION AND NOTES..

The Spencer Reporter believes thai
Gov Harding made bad political mis-
take in vetoing the repeal of the non
partisan judiciary law. Outside OF
very small circle of folks who may have
profited by this law on the books. the
universal opinion was that il was
real joke the Reporter adds.
Later, if Secretary McAdoo really
gets in pinch in the matter OF dis
posing OF those bonds, there are any
number of experienced solicitors
who could group the bonds in sets,
bind them in full morocco and sell
them at 80 per cent above par TO

at" says the Sioux City Journal.
Tell the tramps TO keep on tramp
ing. If there ever was time when a
big husky buns request for hand
out should be refused, il is now says
the Perry Chief. There are plenty of
Jobs for all who want 70 work.

the Cedar Rapids Republican,. We

propose TO do with the supreme court
after they get II Salingerized." says
the Nevada Representative. But we
have feeling that when Gov. Harding
vetoed that repeal bill he drew very
broad and plain line between himself
and a vast number Of people"
THE fact that the attorney generals
staff was working Sunday, that the
governor had a busy day. and that lots
Of business was being done behind
closed doors as we'll as open doors,
doesn't seem TO strike our blue Law en-
forcers as inconsistent" notes the Dav-
export Democrat. TT does look little
that way. however, to the observer
