The Fan Articulates-
sy cRANTLANo RICE.

You have your Baseball Unions
And your National Commissions;
You have your strike to overthrow
The bat and ball and glove;
You have your big league meetings
Where your owners plan reductions.
But how about the old time game
We used to know and love?
You rant about the players rights,
You rave about the owners:
Where each one only sees himself
Along the seasons span;
We wonder if YOU ever stop
To give consideration
Unto that useless segment
OF the pastimc called The Fan?
OF course his parts n minor one,
Bereft of all Importance;
He isn't worth Il moments thought
Along the open trail;

And keeps the turnstile moving;

happy is that people whose God is
jehovah" Psalm l4:4l5.
Rev. T. v. Anderson.
Rev. Mr.. Anderson writes:
I'VE are n Christian nation. if not
always in deed, yet so in name. Among
its many Christian reforms it has
made Sunday a legal holiday. l shall
not go into detail as to the actual
needs of the city Of Missoula, for then
might mention more than the city
at present is prepared to amend. In
speaking of lettering Missolla it is
in regard to Sunday laws that I wish
to speak.
1.-THE first reform that I would sug-
gest in the betterment of Missoula is
the closing of theaters and dime shows
on Sunday. Every honest citizen
knows that Sunday is n day OF rest.
Should it therefore not be used for
this purpose? Many cities have closed
their thcaters and dime shows on Sum
day for the betterment of the 0om-
munity. 1t is a well known fact that
the Christian churches exert q power
full influence for the good of COM
munity. The means of their influ-
| ence is particularly exerted through
divine Worship; anything that dis
| turbs or draws people away from this
| worship on Sunday should be elimi-
| mated. That the theaters and dime
shows as a general rule exert harm
full incluence on our people is a fact
| beyond doubt, but still large numbers
The Daily Missoulian. [volume] (Missoula, Mont.) 1904-1961, 1917-02-17

frequent these places. 1t is very well
understood that our people must
spend their Sundays somewhere, and
we do not wish to tie them down to
any rules as to where they must go,
but simply to regulate these amuse-
ments for the benefit of the COM
munity. If people as whole do not
understand that the shows are harm
full to them. why should not the au-
thorities at least so regulate them
that they do not conflict with-divine
worship.
Another important reform is to
regulate the social dance. No dam
cling ought to be allowed on Saturday
evenings, since the dancing hours are
extended into the Sunday mornings,
nor should dancing be allowed on
Sunday. These amusements are a
hindrance to public worship and a
Dissertation of the Lords day.
