SUNDAY SPORTS

The New York legislature has set
good example to the legislatures OF
other states by repeating certain blue
law enectneuta. BY which fishing on
Sunday and baseball games on Sunday
were prohibited. Probably in most
communities Of New York. these laws,
relics of old times, have been disre gard
ed Nevertheless, their presence upon
the statute books was reminder Of the
time when legislators sought to make
people virtuous by enactnents. and were
also a constant incentive to rabid re-
formers to harass friends and neigh
bors who might seek a little quiet Sun
day enjoyment.
The Intelligencer believes in the OBJ
servance Of the Sabbath as a day Of
rest, and by day Of rest we do not
mean necessarily a day Of sitting inside
a stury room and reading commentar-
lies upon the scriptures. Men VINO arc
able 10 take from their work during fhe
week, sufficient time to get little
amusement and a little recreation do
NOT need to engage in baseball or 60
fishing on Sundays; but there are many
men who have little chance for lighter
amusement during the week and any In
nocent sport giving them little e1er-
else and a taste Of the open air on Sun
day. or any other day. ought not to be
criticized. much less prohibited by
statutes. There can be just as much
real religion in honest and decent play
and a merry laugh. and chefrtui
smile as there Is in long face ana a
sour disposition

GERMAN HYSTERIA

Samuel Crowther. a very experienced
observer, writing for the New York
Tribune! declares:
What Germany is really strfcrins
from is not Spartacism, but neur'
asthenia brought about by the reaction
from the strain of war. the brcaRdowr
Of organization and leadership and the
dread of what the peace conference
eventually will do. Considering Thu
factors for unrest in the country today
1t Is remarkably quiet
Perhaps We ought to make some
allowance for the nerves of people
who have gone through. They have
been fed up with false stories. they
have been starved. slaughtered and
finally disillusioned. 1t Is not strange
that their sense Of values has almost
entirely disappeared

Carl w. Alderman, member of the
class of 1911. Earlham college. is COM
ing to Richmond under the auspices
organization he was charter mem.
Der. some time in May, and deliver an
address on Bolshevism. The exact date
OF his lecture will probably be an
nounced this week. The bureau that
is managing Ackerman's engagements
has several dates open and Lyle Pow
er Of the Earlham Press club has
wired for the dates.
Alderman, whose home is in Rich
mond, has built up an enviable reputa-
ton as a war correspondent during the
last four years. He was correspond
ent for the United Press in Germany,
and has recently returned from an ex-
tended survey tour through Russia and
Siberia, as correspondent for the
New York Times.
He has been dovoting his time to
lecturing tour and has been very sue
cessful. A book which Mr.. Alderman
has Just finished is going to press with
Scribner and Sons, publishers.
His address in Richmond will deal
with Bolshevism and will no doubt be
OF great interest because OF his op-
portunity for close observance in Rus
STA and Siberia.
Mr.. Alderman appeared in Rich
mond two years ago soon after he had
returned from Germany, to make an
address on the socialistic movement in
Germany.

Answers Compers Statement
That He Will Have to Walk

WASHINGTON, April %. Post
master-General Burleson, maintaining
the barrage of statements which he
has laid down since the fight against
him reached it's fever crest, today re.
piled to the assertion of Samuel Com
pers. that "he would have to walk the
plank, sooner or later"
The Postmaster-General stuck by
his guns and reiterated "a strike on
the part of employees of the govern
ment or Of those working for the gov
eminent is not permissible"
In this category he placed the strik-
ing New England telephone operators.
His statement follows:
THE value and importance of the
service rendered by Mr.. Samuel Com
pers during the recent war was sur
passed by but few men in America
Ready admission is made of this fact
and more, that this was not merely a
favorite pose on the part of Mr.. Com
pers, but was the impulse of genuine
patriotism.
At Variance With Gompers.

edly is at variance with Mr.. Gompers
on the matter Of the relation between
the government and those who are
employed in its service. AS the Post
master-General sees it, 1t is little short
OF silly to talk about collective bar
gaining with an executive officer by
civil service employees under his ad-
ministration.
THE salary and wages to be paid
such employees, the hours Of labor and
working conditions are fixed by the
legislative branches, and it is for the
executive head of a department to
abide thereto.
I'm the matter of fixing compensa-
ton the Postmaster-General always
has believed sound public opinion
could be relied upon safely to see that
full Justice is done those who serve
the government"
