STEADY HABITS.

Governor Holcomb vetoing the so- called Liberal Sunday bill calls it ''an act to commercialize the Sabbath. There is, of course, a difference be- tween liberalization and commercial ization. If the Sabbath suffered commercialization by the adoption of this much discussed bill the people of Connecticut would be quick to resent it. But the Sabbath under that bill could be no more commercialized than it is under it's present method of ob- servance. The bill vetoed would have made legal certain forms of amuse- ment which are now in violation of the Sunday laws. Every Sunday that passes in Connecticut witnesses open and wilful violation of specified laws now on the statute books. If, as the governor remarks, the proposed Legislation would belle our reputa- tion of being the land of steady habits" how will our reputation be enhanced by a constant disrcspect for the laws already formulated: Our steady habits. seemingly, consist of letting the old blue laws remain and violating instead of respecting them.

 The toastmaster of the occasion was Principal l.. P. Slade of the High school.
