SUNDAY CLOSING.

When the Christian Mems League
of Columbia began before Christmas
the movement to bring about more
general observance of Sunday as a
day Of rest and worship, 1t was not, as
reported in The Herald. the purpose
of that organization to begin mill
tant crusade for Sunday. closing
or to have put into operation any kind
of socalled "blue laws" but merely
to have stepped by agreement. prefer
ably, or by law, II necessary, all
kinds of business that were not es.
sential to the normal pursuits of life
on Sunday.
But circumstances arose which
made 1t necessary for the city admin
ihtration to apply - Tar as possible
the provisions Of IN ordinance, the ef-
fectiveness and legality Of which has
since been questioned. which prohibits
the operation OF certain lines Of btsi.
ness on Sunday. The agreement plan
of the League was never attempted
and probably would never have been
satisfactory IL 1t had been tried. The
city administration deserves common
dalton for the efforts II has made.
and both the moral and actual support
OF the good citizenship Of Columbia
should be thrown behind Mayor Ded-
man. Judge e. e. Erwin and the po-
lice department in going as far as pos
sible toward the enforcement Of the
present ordinance, il 1t is valid. and
toward the enactment Of q satisfact-
DRY ordinance that win be valid, il
the present one is not.
The Christian Mems League prob
ably did not anticipate the opposition
that has arisen to the movement, but
as body OF courageous, law-abiding.
God-fearing, upright citizens it is now
encumbent upon that organization to
see It to a finish. There can be no

izenship OF this city to have its Sun
days observed in the way that public

to continue that support as long as

Officials present included DR.. Sig

the national secretary, and repre-

Members present were confident,

Several interesting news items
have been received at headquarters
this week about the work of the Red
Cross abroad.
The War Council has just an
nounced a gift of $1,193,125 to the
British Red Cross, the second large
appropriation since we entered the
war. The first-October 6-was ST.
100000. The British Red Cross has
rendered great assistance to Amerl-
can soldiers and sailors who nave
been wrecked near the British coast,
and also to those injured or Ill on
land. The British and American Red
Cross are cooperating in every way
in the work abroad.
Secretary of War Baker, with Gen
eral Pershing, has been inspecting
the Red Cross hospitals, rest sta
tions. canteens and stores in France.
He reports that he is pleased with
the efficiency displayed in every
branch: and says that its achieve
ments should be a source of COM

mittee. Renewed demands were
made by Republicans that Creel be
removed. 1t seems likely that the
displeasure of Congress toward the
conduct of both officials will find an
outlet before the incident is ended.
The report over which the con-
troverSy broke was q communication
by the Postmaster General in re-
sponse to a resolution by Represen-
tative Treadway, of Massachusetts,
Republican, who charged that pri-
vate mail to soldiers is not delivered
because all available space is used
by booklets from the Creel bureau
and various government press
agent" documents.
Part of Burleson's reply was a let
ter from Creel wherein Creel denied
the Treadway charges and asserted:
Creel Makes Denial
HE (Treadway) made an assertion
the absolute baselessness of which
could have been ascertained by a
telephone inquiry"
Taking the floor, Treadway said:
L can produce evidence in this
House that there have been pla .cd

letter from a soldier, in which he
says: If there is a shortage of ton

tary McAdoo's speeches were trans
fered to us. We do not want them "

tion on the table, there was an ap-
parent majority of one.
Miller then moved as a substitute
that the report be submitted to IL

if it were properly drafted for the
House to receive ia. This was carried
by big majority.
Demands CreeFs Removal
Removal of Creel was again de-
manded by Longworth, of Ohio, who
brought up again CreePs expressed
pride that the United States had
entered war unprepared.

utterance any American citizen has

American, especially a man connect
