Sunday Observance
HaUabaIOO Mere
Waste Of Energy
BY ARTHUR III. REID.

The hullabalOO that is being raised
against proposed federal legislation
touching observance of the sabbath
is waste Of energy. Excited people
profess 20 discern in the movement,
which is hot at all new, an attempt
10 prevent by constitutional process
any activity on Sunday save attend
ance at church services This is
sheer nonsense. While il is not to
be denied that there are some
zealots who would carry Sabbatar-
ianism by statute 10 the lengths in
Dictated if they could have their
way, there is no reason for alarm on
the part of the more liberal minded.
\ great deal of unnecessary labor
is performed in all states on sun
day, if you demand a strict dehni-
ton of necessity, but the very gem
eral observance Of the day by COM
mercial interests as a matter of pol
icy precludes serious thought that
there viii be a great expansion of
secular activities on that day. Ac-
commOdatiOn Of strict church people
themselves demands "a variety of
services now that We're wholly UNI
necessary a few years ago. The ne
cesSities of commerce forbid the
Curtailment of transportation for
even Il few hours. If all the wheels
stopped turning on Sunday the bust
ness week would be reduced 90 less
than six days and we question if the
most earnest advocate of puritan
ical Sabbath would consider that adj
Visable.
ON the other hand. there is a de-
cideG sentiment i'm America against
what is termed the continental
Sunday" Religious people have no
monopoly of this. We may be sure
that it will be potent TO prevent any
decided change i'm present Sunday
conditions. Liberalization of the day
Of rest Will come only responsive TO
the demonstrated needs of the
people.

Cleaning ont of

BY MARKHAM THURsTON.

Law-abiding citizens OF every com

their approval to the efforts of law
enforcement officials TO break up or
ganized crime and 10 bring 20 pun
ishment as many persons as possible
among those who are engaged in
violation of the laws. But despite
the desire to obtain the arrest and
punishment of crooks OF any and all

less doubt that periodical clean
ups in the larger cities do very
much more than scatter offenders

PUEYRREDON BACK IN ARGENTINA.

Q ENOR PUEYRREDON will have to try again il

Of Nations assembly at Geneva Prest Wilson'S re-
to unofficial delegates TO participate IN
the League debates or advise at the deliberations

into the background. The reason is obvious The
president right. the United States being
member of the League, AID the people having
tacitiy voted not to become member of this
League, while Argentina being a member, merely
played the part of the small boy. and showed its
hand plainly admit Of any deceit
The Argentine delegation, folding their tent like
the Arab and quietly stealing away for home, bids
fair too to meet with reception quite as cool as
the weather that marked its departure from Geneva.
Outside the pro-Germans the movement is regarded
as urwarranted, babylike undipIomatic, foolish,
and a number other things. 1t is precisely as if
the congressman representing one of our states
should walk of the house of representatives and
leave Washington because the house had not seen

is possible that what Argentina asks will be granted
sooner or later. Will be granted because
of bluster and coercion.
Under the circumstances, the criticism TO which
Senior Pueyrredon and his associates have been sub
jected at Geneva is deserved. As one of the Eu-
ropean delegates remarked. no legislative body
would get anywhere if its me nbers were to walk
out whenever their proposals failed to receive i'm
mediate approval
1t should be observed that thus far. at least,
Argentina has not Withdrawn from the League.
Nothing has happened except that its delegation has
left Gene Whether formal notice of withdrawal
from the League Will be served is doubtful in view
of the criticism that Senior Pueyrredons headstrong
action has aroused i'm MS country. Some of the
leading Argentine newspapers are highly indignant

ton was "sent with a mysterious mission whose
