Predicts REACTION FROM
BLUE LAWS

To the Editor. The Washington Herald:
notice strenuous effort
on the part of some jealous reform
ers to bring about some drastic
measures to compel a greater at
tendance at their churches. the abo-
'lition of Sunday amusements. To
these I command halt.
First. Sunday is not a Holy Day.
Saturday is.
Second. preach the Gospel. the
word of God, and all church troubles
will cease. The word Sunday is no
where found in the Bible or the
Testament. By the adoption of Sun
day as the specific day of worship
they seek to change Gods immut-
able law, which is blasphemy, and
all too well know the penalty for
that.
when we strike a blow at mans
God-given right we rub his fur the
contrary way and the one result
will be the crumbling OF the church
es. When We try to Christianize
man by a process of law werl dis
cover that we have one big-a-da
Job. God Himself does not coerce
men into serving Him. For mere
man to think himself mightier than
his creator is some great big feel
ing. In conclusion. I am not an
ordained minister, but I am fairly
well versed in the scriptures and in
past church history and would
vouchsafe to you in your endeavor to
desist in your efforts of reforma-
ton on the lines laid down by you;
1t were we'll that the contemplated
movement had died aborning,
Go ye back to the blackened
pages Of Rome's hideous history Of
the Middle Ages and read-then
stop, look and listen.
Preach and teach the word of God
and let 1t go at that, and don't try
to substitute mans law for Gods
law. Iron and clay will not mix.

Pittsburgh, Man at Ebbitt
Says Large Rail Orders
Have Been Placed.

Stcel te coming down In price.
Frank IL. Ferris. OF Pittsburgh. said
at the Ebbitt House yesterday.
Some OF the reductions followed
close upon the statement OF the
Steel Corporation that no changes
in the price OF its commodity were
contemplated.
so far. however. the new prices
have had no marked effect on buy
ing. Most sellers have made no
effort TO take business on the new
basis. prefering TO look after the
unified orders for which Il may be
possible to get higher figures All
are anxious to get as many Of the
orders as possible as IL is realized
that these orders will not lost long
Already cancellation has cut into
them seriously.
Everyone is interested in the fu-
ture OF rails. Large orders have al
ready been placed and we expect
that 1921 viii see a great deal OF
business in this commodity. In fact
/ should not be at all surprised ~
IL were the best year since 1910.
Already standard section orders for
1921 are running higher by more
than 20 per cent larger over recent
years.
Pig iron prices are coming down

Discusses soldier Bonus.

Former service men. who are not
in favor OF the granting Of a bonus
by Congress, should be permitted to
dispose of their bonus by law IL the
measure is passed. DR.. Thomas Holt.
of Boston. said at the Washington
yesterday.
1T appears likely that the Ameri-
can Legion will once more urge upon
Congress TO provide a cash bonus
for former service men. / hardly
think IL possible to secure any action
on the bill at the short session. The
measure is still in the Senate.
Although there is a great deal
to be said on the side OF those who
want the bonus. leaving this phase
entirely out of the discussion. there
is a large number opposed to the
granting Of the bonus. II the bonus
is passed, Notwithstanding the pro-
test OF these dissenting men. some
provision should be incorporated in
the measure to admit of their trans
ferring their interest TO the Ameri-
can Red Cross or some other worthy
cause. In this way they could ac-
cept the bonus without either loss
OF self-respect or embarrassment.
in my opinion the greatest argu-
ment in favor Of the bonus is the
fact that at the clcEe Of the war
