THE SUNDAY BLUE LAW.

Editor Every Evening.-The editorial
III your excellent paper, issue OF December
2. on "Blue Laws in Baltimore" was
read with great deal of interest. That
IS s subject Of perpetual interest and
never-faiiing source Of controversy. some
are satisfied with our Blue laws, and some
are not, so both classes Of citizens are
interested IN the issue.
It would appear that Every Evening Is
not altogether satist1 ed with the law and
cannot be classed as neutral on the issue,
as Indicated by the closing paragraph
of the editorial TO which reference has
been made. Delaware has an antIquat-
ed oppressive, and offensive Sunday
Blue law entirely AT variance with
modern conditions Of living On the
face of 1t, the Indictment against our
Sabbath Law Is serious Cpon more
careful inspection y : not 70 bad First.
il Is antiquated VI do NOT deny that
il Is an old Law Il has stood the test Of
time. IL was enacted before the politics
Of Delaware became 50 corrupt IS they are
now. That the law Is not antlquated IN
the sense Of being obsolete, L proven by
this statement 'ac the last session Of the
Legislature an effort was made 10 sub
stitute II with 2 modern reasonable en-
actment, but failure was the result, Don't
YOU touch that sacred statute was the
mandate that went forth and it was
potent The law Is not a dead letter IN
Delaware.
Second, Ii Is oppressive 1t Is not true
ri all statutes, that they are oppressive
Is it not true that civil law IS designed 70
press down upon and make difficult evil
doing Laws against larceny are Oppres-
sive TO the man who wants % make hi
living by daraudIng has fellow mans
There would be no need of civil govern
ment or Of laws of any kind 10 regulate
society if everyone could be trusted 10
exercise his freedom as he chose. When
there is no government TO define and pro-
tect the rights Of its citizens, there Is
anarchy and the weak are at the IN ercy
of the strong. In a republic VIII ich is d
democracy, all should obey the laws from
choice otherwise they should be compelled
to by the strong hand Of government
That is what the courts and the police
department are for Third, II Is offensive
What If it is2 Which one Of the Ten
Commandments is not offensive 70 some
i d II That Is nothing against thus Law
~ .sny law. That our Delaware sabbath
law il offensive to some Of our people j-
only another way Of saying that there are
some Of our citizens who nave not reached
perfection in their ideals Of citizenship
The Sabbath vas made for man"
There is no more benefcent law on
our statute books than the law that re-
quires our citizens to refrain from secular
toll. from buying and selling and from
worldly pleasure on the Sabbath day
am prepared to maintain t hat position in
fair discussion as against any and all
corners.

no quorum of the executive committee

Amerlcanization and health work in tho

Director d. H. J. Odell's report included
aretercnce to the activities Of the Delaware

OF the report said, among other things

entrenched in the confidence of the people

ments for civic bcttcrment. With our

WISCONSIN RELIES ON OLD
STYLE GAME TO BEAT ILLINI

Urbana ILL.,, oct. 25.--Relying
principally on old style football and
making huge gains with line plays
Wisconsins superb eleven defeated
defeated Illinois on Illinois field, IA
to 10. Illinois was the first to score
Reichle booting a goal from the field
in the first period from the Wisconsin
15-yard line.
At The start Of the second half
Illinois carried the ball to the Badg-
ers 1-yard line, but the Wisconsin
eleven braced and took the ball on
downs. A steady march to the Illinois
goal then started with jacob and
Sundt forcing their way through the
crumbling Illinois line. Jacob car
ried the ball over and Davy kicked
goal. The Wisconsin eleven scored
again in the final period, when the
Illinois line again gave way for a
march to the goal. The short pass
directly over the line enabled Weston
to score.
Illinois gave the Badgers a scare IN
this period when Fletcher nabbed a
pass from Slocum, Illinois substitute
end, and ran 70 yards for touch
down. Fletcher also kicked goal,

played in practically every depart
ment of the game, Michigan went
down to defeat before Ohio state, -
TO 3, for the first time in fifteen years.
The defeat, it is generally conceded,
eliminates Michigan as a contender
for the Western Conference football
championship.
The work of Captain Harley. Quar-
terpack Stinchomb and Flowers, the
visitors right end man, stood out as
the feature of the game. Several
times Harley tore through the Mich
igan line for good gains and in the
third period he circled the Michigan
right end for 35 yards and touch
down.
In the opening period when Cliff
Sparks, the Michigan quarterback, at
tempted to punt from behind his own
al posts, the KICK was blocked ana
Flowers fell on t for a touchdown.
Harley kicked goal.
Michigan's only score was the re-
suit Of a pretty drop kick by Sparks,
in the second period from Ohio's 80
yard line.
