HOW DO THEY SUIT YOU?

They are talking rather glibly about
a return to the blue laws. The idea,
which is expected to be brought to
the early attention of congress, may
be rather far reaching in it's effects.
And a great many people Will be in
terested in how the nations lawmak-
ing body handles the problem.
Just now, though, some wonder if
there are not a great many who do
not understand what the blue laws
Of early Connecticut and Massachu-
setts were. Here were some of them
under which our forefathers "did the
best they could:
eff any person is a witch, he or
she shall be put to death. Anybody
who sets a fire in the woods and it
burns down a house shall suffer death
Suspicion of setting fire in the woods
shall make one jailable but not bail
able. None shall make mince pies,
dance, play cards or play on any must
cal instrument, except on the drum
trumpet or jewsharp. The judges shall
determine guilt or innocence and not
jury. No woman shall kiss her child
on Sunday. None shall cross a river
except an authorized ferryman. Mar
ried people must live together or suf-
fer Imprisonment. Man shall not court
maid except after written consent
of her parents Penalty for violation
of this law was five pounds for the
first offense, ten for the second and
indefinite Imprisonment for the third.
Whoever shall bring cards or dice in
to the settlement must pay a fine of
five pounds Every male shall have his
hair cut round according to a cap"
There was another naive old blue
law, and it was this: If child above
16 years shall curse or smite his or
her parents, it shall be put to death,

great problem as regards forestry
as to coal or oil. Naturalization of the
forests of this country is now urged
in order to increase the tree area. In
Switzerland a forestry ordinance was
passed as long ago as 1904 and the
woods Of that country are treasured
almost more than anything else. In
other countries of Europe much at
tention is given to the subject and
more will be the care since the call
of war hit the forests hard. In Sank
county there are sections where there
are more trees than when the white
settlers came in the early 40's but
there are other tracts where there has
been devastation. For the benefit
Hof future generations trees should be
planted. They are things of beauty,
they add to the landscape, they pre-
vent erosion, and they bring good
return to the owner of the land. The

KOREAN TAX
GIVEN THURS.
LOCAL CHURCH

DR.. H. c. Whiting, who has been a
medical missionary in Korea for is
years. spoke to an audience of about
200 Thursday night in the Presbyter-
ian church. He coutrasted the life
and ideals of the Chinese, japanese
and Koreans. The Koreans are re-
lated to the Chinese but have a civil
cation of their own dating back 1850
years. They have kept this intact by
Isolation and industry. Their land is
fertile and rich in minerals so that
among the people OF the Orient they
are the most independent and resour-
ceful with plenty of food and clothing.
In their scale, the scholar ranks high
est and next the farmer because of his
stability. Land cannot be moved as
the merchants goods from place to
place. The soldier has no place. The
Koreans have never had a standing
army of size and now offer only pas
sive resistance to the Japanese who
are trying to subiugate and make
Japanese the land, it's people and their
customs. The very names of cities
are being changed. In it's efforts ia
pan has introduced the vices of her
own land. She has brought in opium
and rum to debauch these people. z
| Several erroneous ideas as to Korea
were corrected. The Koreans are a
IhOspitable people, kindly and indus
Itrious, with intense patriotism. They
resent the doctrine Of Japan that
might makes right.
They have special attraction to
Christianity, about 100000 being en-
rolled in the Christian churches.
These emphasize bible study, prayer
and missions. They maintain their own
expenses of building churches and
schools, preachers ad teachers. They
conduct missions in Shantung provin.
ce, China, Toxic, Japan and Man
Churia. These are receiving terrible
prosecutions because of their meetings
not being understood by the soldiers
and because the missionaries will not
submit to Japanese propaganda teach
| ing. Many of the natives have suf-
lfered martyrdom; more are imprison-
ed. Whole villages have been destroy
ed, but the love of freedom endures
and Japan has to face a determined
and united people in China and Korea
who by their resistance will stand
against the military forces and ag-
gressions of Japan. In japan there
are 10000 Christians whose sympa
thies are actively at work in behalf
of the oppressed of Korea. Many OF
the Japanese are opposed to the mill
tary party now dominant there.
