REvIvIxG THE BLUE LAWS.

However much they may have been t.ltal hy the success that vas obtained putting through the eighteenth amend ment to the Constitution of the United ,taies. there are already evidences which mus, make those who are backing the Lords Day alliance a bit pessimistic.
 The purposes of the campaign under taken by the alliance is to restore Sum day observance 10 the character of that during the days of the famous old blue laws. and to make it effective throughout the country. It has been believed that present day views have been met by the hocrallzed Sunday observance but it is t1c purpose of this new effort to go back Go he days of the Puritans and do it in ono iuil swoop.
 The idea seems to be that through legislation those who do not observe sunday. or who have their own ideas rsardins it's observance must be made 90 conform 70 hard and fast rules. There are rood reasons to believe that there arl many views regarding this matter tat what one considers the proper ob- slrracce of Sunday is rot what another believes. that some favor being much more strict than others and it is rec. osnized that each can in accord with tht diftates of his cohscience worship Goo ana by proper restraint observe the da, oi rest as he plesses.
 To urge such restrictions as the al lance pmss forth does not mean that there will be more church Ioing or more iesps,t for Sunday. It is a course tha ls likely to get the favor of but a com l1ratively small number It has alread- received tho opposition of prominen church heads and the reDudiation by tn, Methodist House of Bishops because O the recognition of the fact that it woulr tcnd 70 do mach more harm than good STho blue laws" are associated witt days long past and indications poin strongly to the fact that they will no be made effective in this day and gen cratiop-

PUNISH THE CHAPTERS.

A move that Will meet with general fuvor is that which has been made by chairrnsn Benson of the shipping board Co bring about the criminal prosecution of all those who have been involved in wrong doing in connection with that board.
 The country has been shocked at the revelations which have. been made in connection with the operations of that branch Of government work. It has been shown that there have been tremendous losses sustained. that little or no effort seemed Co have been made to conduct the affairs of the board on a business basis and that negligence, waste and graft have characterized much of the dealings
 Due allowance must of course be made for the fact that expenditures were made under stress e war conditions and for that reason t wss to be expected that much Ercster outlays would be made for such N~-S than under normal conditions Likewise it can be appreciated that af- ter having secured ships at the highest costs for service in the war postwar conditions would tend to fix lower val. ult.on upon the vessels constructed such differences would of necessity have Co re charged to the war. but from the testimony which has been given it doc: not appear that that is the reason for the situation revealed in the affairs ot ihe shipping board
 There. fl the testimony has the proof io support it and there are good reasons io believe that it has has been a method or doing business in the board which permitted Of crooked work and full ad vantage has been taken of the opportu n'tes thus presented 10 get away witt hundreds and hundreds of millions of tn, govcrnment funds. Sometimes it seem cd as fl they couldn't get rid of the money fast enough. and as if it was ex. rccied of them 10 spend money regard less as to where it went or whether an, return was received from it.
 In view of such conditions it is i'm. portant that there should be sonethinI more than a disclosure of the acts an. when the boards chairman seeks th, prosecution Of those who have been con rcrned in the grafting operations it i only what should reasonably be expect ad-

DRINKING poIsoNs.

No sooner does the country learn of the danger of one or more poisons when. used as beverage, and learn of it through the fatal experience of many others, than there are others who are following a similar course with other drugs which even if not as deadly are nevertheless poisonous and are lkiely to cause no end of trouble.
 Apparently there are those who believe that because a certain drug contains al- cohol it can be used in the mixing of drinks in order to secure the desired ef- fleets from alcohol without otherwise do- ing harm. If such were the case there might thus be provided way. for cir cumyenting the prohibition law, provided such a drink proved satisfactory and provided it was necessary to resort 10 such drugs in order to satisfy the crav- ing for alcohol
 Such, however, does not appear to be the case. From all accounts the lao1 of enforcement of the prohibition law makes it little less difficult than ever to secure beverages of strong alcoholic con tent, except as to the matter of price but from the warning which has been put out by the state department of drug con trol in Massachusetts. to the effect that nitre is being used in the making of cocktails it is indicated that there is little regard for what the connection is SC long as there is a kick.
 Those who have used and are using nj Ire in such way may regard it as | harmless, because from their knowledg, of the way in which it has been used as | a medicine it might be so regarded, bu ] nitre contains in addition to alcohol so l dium nitrate and sulphuric acid, an aciC that will dissolve metals, and it can bt appreciated what the danger is in drink | ing enough nitre to get kick.
 There were those who d1sregarded tn effects of wool alcohol in spite of tn, warnngs that it was deadly poison Death after death resulted from drinking it and the practice was not stopped un til the number became so large as t actually alarm. The warning regardini nitre should be sufficient to put an enr to the practice but the willingness t take chance because someone else ha has firm hold on some people.

GOVERNMENT CERTIFICATES.

That the idea of thrift which is advo- catcd in connection with the new certi- lcate5 which are 10 be issued by the
 treasury department of the federal gov ernment is an excellent one cannot be gainsaid. There has been no period when more attention ought to have been given 10 the question of saving than
 that through which we have recently passed There were secured wages out of an proportion 10 normal times and it is highly unfortunate that many who received them have nothing to show for it today. They have followed a policy Of extravagance in keeping with the large wages received and instead of hay Ing something to fall back on in days when industrial activities have expert cnced a slump and war wages are not % be had they are without funds and no better or than. as if they had gotten smaller wages. They are in fact worse oR than as'if they had gotten along with inuch less and included herewith a pol isy of saving instead of following the belief that they had got to spend as much f not more than they received.
 The new certificates to be issued by the treasury department will be for s1 md f25 while the present ones will be naintaincd. and for those 'Tho are in s position to Eave and who can appreciate the wisdozn. of suchszscnurse as well as tha security which Is furnished by the

government certificates the new facili- ties to be put forth should find favor with the people.
 To those who cannot save except by some such systematic method it fur nishes one of the best methods. To those who are looking for gilt edge in vestments there is none any better. The unfortunate things in connection with the drive proresition at this time is that the letup in business activities affects many who might otherwise be interest," ed in just this very form of saving, while there are others who carry in mind the Liberty bonds ard the inability to get face value for thenc now. Those who hold onto them until maturity under stand. however. that they are not only going 10 get their interest regularly but the Full face value, and that the conver- sion of bonds in advance of maturity is invariably under sacrifice conditions
