town, do not withdraw, but do suspend
indefinitely the protest as made in the
petition of September 10, because we
realize the far reaching result of the
so called blue laws if enforced, and we
ask that at the next session of legisla-
ture some law be passed stating def
inItely what is lawful and unlawful in
regard to Sunday observance. In TAX
ing such action, we urge upon all good
citizens respect for and obedience to the
laws of the state and the preservation
OF Sunday as day of worship and rest
for all people.
All in all, this is a rather remark
able document. The distinction be-
tween withdrawing and indefinitely
postponing protest is rather fine and
passing the buck" to the legislature
IS familiar sort of game that no doubt
the legislators will welcome ca with
peans of praise.
The demand for a law that will state
definitely what is lawful and unlaw-
full for Sunday observance is natural
enough, but experience with all such
laws is that the more they undertake to
define and specify, the more they be-
| come involved in doubt and the more
| Interpretation they need by the courts.
When the Sunday law was passed, it
| covered every point that the puritans
| of that day could think of, but as base
ball, golf and automobiles were IN
known terms, the definitions have nc
| practical value today.
| 1t will be just SO with any law which
undertakes to prohibit in specific de-
| tail the conduct of certain business OF
| the participation in certain sports and
| pleasures on Sunday. What is needed
is reasonable and eommonsense spir
] it of tolerance for community opinion
and sentiment on the part of the puri
tans and a spirit of fair concession or
the part of those who propose that
Sunday should be day of pleasure
rather than day of rest and devotion
Out of such spirit of mutual respect
might come some basic principle OF
Sunday observance that would be OF
| great value and form a respectable ba
SIS for amended law
I The important thing about the mini
listers postponement of protest. i:
their admission that they recognize tht
reaching effects of an attempt t
enforce the Sunday law literally anC
impartially. The actual fact is thai
such enforcement would probably hi
IS or 80 per cent of city and villag,
people and nearly the same percentage
of their own congregations and mem
bership. 1t is a pity they didn t thinl
of that before they dashed SO blithely
into their recent crusade.
mutual respect for each other
opinions is the only basis on which tn,
puritans and liberals can get togethe
on Sabbath observance, and the fasc,
of the Brattleboro prosecutions show
how little the average parson is abb,
to gauge the public sentiment of hi
own community when it comes to en-
forcing an antiquated and obsolet,
standard of community conduct.

TOO MUCH UN-AMERICANIsM.

The President of the United States
in his recent speaking tour took ocea
son to indulge in the use of epithets.
He characterized the opponents of the
treaty of peace and the league of ma
tons as un-American. He even limited
they were pro-German and called then
other disrespectful names.
Senator Borah in his perfervid flights
Of oratory calls the friends and sup
porters of the treaty un American. He
also calls Judge Gary who is fighting
unionism un-American. Senator John,
son who aspires to succeed Mr.. vii
son in the presidential chair in oppos-
ing the league boasts of his American,
ism and by implication, at least, pie
lures his opponents as un-American
Even the dignifed Senator Lodge pos
ing as a real American statesman hint
that his opponents are un-American
We suspect, if he ever mentions it, Sen
ator Reed of Missouri will be calling
those hot headed Oklahomians VIII

An Unfair Policy.
(Rutland News.)

The people of Rutland and of Yer
mont generally will not feel very kindly
disposed toward the publishing concern
Rand McNally & Co., Chicago, for
seeming favoritism in their "Auto
Trails Map of New England. There is
manifest Partially in the map, pointing
the way eonspicuously as it does to
White Mountains and New Hampshire
resorts rather than to this state. Per-
haps the New Hampshire automobile
authorities used special 'infuence !"
with the publishers. 1t is certainly an
unfair policy and Vermont resents it.
1t is only fair to say that the publishers
promise by another year to have routes
or at least one route from Boston to
Rutland and Burlington conspicuously
marked and shown on the map. This
may be all right for. the future but the
1919 edition does not do the beautiful
scenic routes of Vermont justice.

GOVERNMENT REGULATION.

Another example of the value of gov
eminent advice is the instruction of the
department of agriculture to American
wheat growers. Under date of Octo,
Der /, it sends out to the farmers of the
country information that they should
raise only 100000 acres of winter
wheat this fall and SOW 20,000,000 acres
more to spring wheat when the time
comes They further state this should
produce S3O,0OO,OO0 bushels of wheat of
which 200,000,O00 bushels may be ex-
ported.
This is very interesting but the fact
is that most of the winter wheat had
been sown before the circular was is,
sued. So its value to winter wheat
growers will be small. Again the indi-
vidual wheat grower may be puzzled tc
know just how much wheat he should
sow to give a total acreage of AZ, 10000
or 20000,000 acres throughout the coun-
try. The most definite information of
the circular is they should not SOW as
much as they did last year but it does
notstell how much less
Another question is what is the pur-
pose of advising the farmers to SOW
less land to wheata Is it to keep the
price of wheat up to 1926 a bnshela If
it isl thes government must be using
