US as to how we shall spend our
Sundays
The American people should awake
ard assert their rights
What has become Of the red
blooded American? Have the Ameri-
can people no backbone? Are they
going to stand by like sheen and
see their personal rights trampIed
upon?
There must be some way in which
the American people can be lined
up against this outrageous imposi-
ton on the rights of a free people.

SLOW PAY" OR EASY MARK"2

TESTIMONY of the first witness called in the
Board of Estimates Investigation of city con-
tracts was as follows:
The contracting firm of Terry & 1ench wanted
to borrow $4,000 to finance its contract with the
city for the building of six piers on Staten Island.
The Hudson Trust Company asked a $4,000 bonus
over and above interest on the proposed loan, alleg-
ing that the city is "sIow pay" The contracting
firm finally borrowed the money in Buffalo at 10
per cent. interest, with bonus of s25,OoO
II would appear from this that Father Knicker-
bocker'S rating in Buffalo is somewhere about twice
as high as among the banks of his own town.
Obviously contract of this nature is backed by
the old genteman's full credit.
Do his home banks rate him as SLOW pay" or
only as an "easy mark?

Judge lands, bent on house cleaning in base
ball. wants the fans to aid by abstaining from
bets on games.
II there is no gambling there will be no
money with which crooked gamblers can cor
rupt players.
Judge lands has hit on an excellent line Of
procedure If he can impress on the fans their
own share in the debauching of the game.
There may he no harm in a friendly bet. but
many small bets amount to huge sums and pro-
vide an incentive to the crooks

To the Editor Of The Eyenipg World:
1t is said that Prohibition was made
possible only by the aid of Big Bust
ness" Now, if Big Business has d
fraction Of that Intelligence and fore
sight commonly attributed to it, they
will at once call a halt to this con-
templated prCposteruus moral drivea
These eleemosynary and evangelistic
grafters are slowly but surely driving
the working people of this country
into the arms Of the Bolshevki
Lenine and Trotzky could have no
more useful agents in this country
than Messrs, Wheeler, Anderson,
Crafts and the rest OF these intol-
Grant panhandlcrs.
People will stand for a great deal
of profiteerng and other forms of
injustice If they are left alone in the
enjoyment of their religious, civic and
personal freedom.
1t therefore behoOves Business to
keep an eye on these busybod)es and
see that they do not spill the beans
altogether In their efforts to earn
their pay. Let these pussyfooters re-
member the fellow who killed the
goose that laid the goldens eggs and
let them see what their inhnitesimal
numbers can do itnaided.

DIR. MANNING DEFENDS SUNDAY.

IN HIS sermon last Sunday the Rev. William r.
Manning, rector of Trinity Church. said: .
Il am far, indeed, from supporting or in
dorsing the campaign for stricter Sunday
laws and return to the Puritan observance
OF the day. That campaign, IL the an
nouncements are correct, is one OF those
we-meant efforts which do harm to the
cause they mean to support The movement
is narrow and impractical. Such method
would do more 70 drive religion out of the
hearts Of the people than into them"
Coming from one Of the most distinguished and
broad-minded ohurchmen in the largest city Of the
United States, this view of the proposal to impose
Blue Law Sunday upon the country should carry
weight in all religious circles t.
No one will accuse Dr. Manning of being in league
with awlesS Sabbath-breakers. No one will charge
him with selfish or sordid designs to undermine the
strength Of Christian teachings and practices.
Dr. Manning of Trinity is neither theatre pro-
Pretor nor baseball magnatc.
When he opposes stricer Sundayqaws he is not
an agator but defender and his defense assuredly
mas nohng 10 DO with the interest Of his own or
anybody else's pocket.
1t is as an intelligent earnest worker for the
church itself that Dr. Manning declares against any
fanatical meddling with Sunday freedom.
Especially" he urges, "let us avoid max
ing the day one Of gloomy restraint. partic-
ularly for children and the young"
I'VE should encourage wholesome games
and sports, and have thought It would be
good thing for the clergy to take part in
them. l used to make 1t practice to go
to the Sunday afternoon baseball games, and
never felt that my worship at other hours
any for It. We have got to de-
=, eide by consclences, and the church =
leaves us to- do it So"
This sane view represents the degree OF progress
and liberalism to which we hope a majority of the
people of the United States including churchgoers,
have attained.

New York-A mysterious explosion,
disastrous In its effect, occurred in
Wall st. killing at least score OF per-
sons and injuring hundreds.
Office workers were just hurrying
into the street for their monday meal
when Jet of black smoke and fame
rose from the center of the worlds
great street of finance.
Then came a blast A moment later
scores of men, women and children
were lying blood-covered on the pave
ments.
Two minutes later nearly all the ex-
changes had closed. Men had turned
from barter to an errand of mercy.
While the police toiled for hours
seeking the dead and injured, trained
investigators were trying in vain to
determine definitely whether the ex-
plosiOn had occurerd from a bomb
dropped in front of the offices of j.
P. Morgan & Co., or whether an auto
mobile dashing into a wagon loaded
with explosives had taken into toll.
The United States subtreasury, i'm
mediately opposite the scene of the ex-
plosion, was placed under heavy police
guard to protect the millions of dol
lars in gold, silver and paper money
lodged in the granite structure.
Many of the injured were girls work
ing in office buildings. Hundreds Of
persons were thrown to the sidewalk
with the force of the explosion and
Df ND
pressed into the service to carry away
the wounded.
Jury Begins Investigation.
The September grand jury, which
was instructed to conduct an investi-
cation of the disaster, has begun lis
tening to the testimony of witnesses.
SubpOenas have been issued for more
than a score of persons, who claim to
have been within a block of the explo-
sion when 1t occurred.
Police estimated that 100000 per-
sons visited the scene of the explosion
Sunday. So dense were the crowds in
the narrow streets of the financial dis
trict that automobiles were barred
within radius of two blocks of the
j. p Morgan & Co. bank and side
walks were made one way thorough
fares for pedestrians.
Churches Are Guarded.
All prominent churches and public
buildings, as well as the homes of
high public officials and financiers,
were placed under extra guards dur
