10 the Editor:
Ii seems to be the fashion to break
into print in regard to the SUNDAY
exhibition of the war pictures which
are shown under the auspices OF the
State Council of Defense and In the
interest and at the inspiration OF the
United States government.
From the very beginning OF time
religion has been used for many pur-
poses and much that is evil as well as
that which has been good has been
done under the guise of divine revela-
ton. When the English burned Joan
d. Arc it was done with great cere-
5monv and in the name of God n vet
today thai peasant girl is a canonized
France Also law as / recall 1t, was
invoked to condemn where the spirit
Of revenge prompted.
Jesus Christ made a direct attack
upon those who would substitute the
spirit of legalism for the spirit of sert
vice and when he said, Sabbath was
made for man, and not man for Sab
BATH he settled for all time the ques-
ton of a mere outward observance OF
the form where the spirit is lacking.
The Jews had a law against the he2l-
ing Of the sick on the Sabbath, yet
Jesus Christ did not hesitate to break
that law in the interest of humanity.
The Law Enforcement league hos
gone on record as being opposed to
the showing of these pictures which
are being given in the interest of pa
triotism and humanity by h United
States government, but nowhere have
they made q protest against the hold
ing of a ski fest which is a sporting
event purely and simply, at which
prizes were given, which has nothing
whatever to do with the question Of
religion and which certainly. If n
desired to be critical. far more out
RACES the spirit of the Sabbath than
the exhibition of pictures Of what has
become a holy war.
The question Of law enforcement is
in the last analysis a question Of carry
ing out the will of the people and laws
are but the organized expression of
the peoples will. The whole theory Of
our government is that the court of
last appeal is public opinion and when
public opinion ceases to uphold a law,
that law becomes ineefeo+-" '
the power that created that law Is In
the hands OF the people wno ~, !,
lied the creation of that law and who
have the power to abrogate it. On
the statute books of some of the New
England states there are ce"toi" lows
tina are known on account Of their
severity as the blue laws" Some
Of these laws have gone to absurd
lengths in the matter Of Sunday OBJ
servance, one in particular is against
a husband kissing his wife on the
shillings to be levied and the offender

It is not believed that many failed to register, Those tha; did not may find themselves in the clutches of a blue clothes man before nightfall, and. in that event, tomor- row will likely find them earning an honest meal pounding rock or shovel ing sand for the city.
 Anticipating the rigid enforcement ut the work or fight" order issued some time ago by the war department. most of the young men in the draft age who were not already employed in some useful enterprise, forsook their soft jobs and looked elsewhere for work Scores of the boys who knew no work harder or more fatiguing than draw ing" soda water or other soft drinks or selling c gars. are now working in steel mills, foundries and other plants where they are doing mans work and doing it we'll. in most cases.

 To these the work or fight order or the city's mo loafing' ordinance, vii have no terrors, for in the sweat of their brows they earn their bread" and night time finds them ready for the bunk" instead of the dance or the movie" which once knew them so well. To those who have held off, hop ing that Uncle Sam and the city were just bluffing," will come sad awak- ening.

Statement June 2O, 1e1' RESOURCES

Enthusiastic Bankhead men in all sec- tions of the state, in knowledge that Bir- mingham is the political heart of Ala bama, are daily sending to local head quarters information of1the most convinc- ing variety.
 Jefferson county is not only strong for the senator,' said w. R. Hilliard, county chairman, yesterday, but judging from reports which reach me daily from various sections of the state, there is no question but that Alabama, as a unit, Is determined to roll up an enormous ma jority for the venerable statesman. In answering letters and telegrams from counties other than Jefferson, half my time is occupied. This fact, however Is not distressing. For Jefferson is all right"
 MT. Hilliard. despite the demands on his time from other counties, is carefully organizing Jefferson Irondale has a Bankhead club with headquarters in two precincts. Of the first W. D. Bishop IS chairman: of the second, R. M. McDan- iel. North Blrmingham,s club is also 1i- vided into two sections with George Carnes and Dr. w. D. Roseman as chair men.
 East Lake was organized yesterday. A number of Bankhead enthusiasts luncned at the Hctel Hillman and perfected the organization. H. B. Wood is president of the East Lake club. MT. Wood is su- perintendent of the Sunday school of the Ruhama Baptist church, and is president of the Standard Lumber company. In the plan of campaign, East Lake is di- vided into three divisions, the first of which vii, be headed by MT. Wood, the second by R. A. Hardin, and the third by pr. J. N. Hankins.
 Mir. Hiiliard reported that he is organ izng now the western section of the county. He is in daily touch with prac tically al! the precincts and is confident that Jefferson will roll up for Senator Bankhead an unprecedented majority.
