HEART TO
HEART TALKS
By Oscar Godfrey Klinger.
l. The Sunday Closing Question.
5. RecApitulation and Conclusion.

Our studies in the question of a
closed Sunday have carried us to four
points of view from which the rela-
ton of Sabbath observance to social
welfare can easily be seen. Law, par
ticularly among self-governing peo-
pie, is imperative in its demand for
popular reverence. The need of man
kind for one day of complete rest in
every seven cannot be questioned.
The first duty of every body polite
to put about its citizens such con-
ditions as will render easy the living
of a right life is automatic and is the
justification of moral legislation. The
behests of religion, when it is the
mouthpiece of God who is real and
personal and the august Sovereign
of the universe, a Sovereign whose
Legislation is found to be in absolute
accord with mans highest interests,
lay upon men an obligation to obedi-
ence, which they dare not disregard.
No state or community has ever con-
doned wrong without suffering harm.
All Sunday laws on our statute books
have been placed there because of the
third commandment; they are the
echo of the Voice speaking on Mt
Sinai, and carry with them some Of
the reverence due to Him. There can
be no question about the moral OBJ
legation to enforce them.
Who is responsible for the enforce
ment of the laws which have been
enacted? Naturally the answer is,
the officers elected for that purpose.
That would seem to be self-evident,
and in England it would be the suf-
ficient answer. England has no dead
laws. But in the United States an
anomalous condition exists. AS soon
as law, like the Sunday closing
statute, is to be enforced, at once
group interests get busy and pressure
for and against it brought to bear
on the mayor and the city council.
Men of strong influence often inter-
fere with the administration of JUS
tice, and the efforts of the officers
prove futile. In dry (?) town the
constable raided "blind tiger" and
brought wagon load of whiskey
along with the colored prisoner to
the mayors Office. The offense re-
quired Jail sentence, but the negro
was very accommodating" to a
number of the leading citizens and
they persuaded" the mayor to let
him off Eight" He was fined one
dollarl The fact of the matter is
that public opinion determines what
laws are to be enforced and is re-
sponsible for their enforcement; what
laws are not to be enforced and is
responsible for their non-enforce-
ment. The mayor who is under a
solemn oath required by the citizens
is anxious to discharge the obliga-
tons Of that oath; will the citizens
permit him to do so? Let US not
forget that the citizens of Greeneville
are you and and our neighbors;
ours is the obligation for the en-
forcement of the Sunday closing law.

LABOR DAY. 1918.
(By Frank Morrison. Secretary Amer
 ican Federation of I.abor.)

When the comparatively few trade unlOnlstS of our various communities paraded on Labor Day, 20 years ago. their motives were questioned in many instances and newspapers gave them Scant publicity
 This year, when the hosts of organ lzed labor, now numbering 3,000,O0O members, march in their Win the War; parades they will be acclaimed by those who formerly even denied their purpose.
 This changed public opinion has been gradual through constant agita- ton' education, and organization. but IL has been quickened the past year because of organized labor's prompt acceptance of autocracy's challenge agalnSt democratic ideals.
 Organized labor has not depended upon words to prove it's patriotism. i'S Whole-hearted support of the gov ernment m the present crisis should oe sufficient answer to any query on 'nlS subject This support is of the klnd that befts men and women inn Oueo With our Republics ideals. and SnoreaIze that when a government that IS founded on these ideals falls '"e loss IS an individual one for every american citizen worthy of the name
 organized labor distinguishes be- s"een a government that rests on the ""'''' or one man or small group Of
