THE USE OF SUNDAY.

Minneapolis journal: The question
as to the best use Of Sunday con
stanlly recurS and always remains

the use OF The day Is important. Man,

use Of Sunday gives tOle and color
to all the other days of the week.

of any other day in the week. For
many people Sunday is a day not OF
recreation but vi dissipation. One
test OF a people is their use OF
leisure, and this is the test that Sun
day brings.
The old puritans used to hoard
their Sunday, and thus lost much of
it's good, while the cavaliers wasted
the day like a spendthrift and lost
much of its best value. Only dog
Imaiist or doctrinaire would attempt
TO lay out Sunday program to which
everyone must conform, but surely it
may not be amiss to consider few
general principles.

ter than before. But many yield to
the constant temptation TO make
Sunday a dumping ground for the
refuse of the week. The odd jobs
that find no convenient place in the
weeks regime are permitted to ac-
cunlllate and be disposed of on this
day.
Others cast themselves adrift. on
the day without any plan or purpose
as to its use. The forenoon is made
short by tardy breakfast and the
rest of the day is spent in gorging
and loafing. The day Is being thus

pations. A better use of the day is
Suggested in the fact that
Rest is not quitting the busy career;
Rest is the fitting OF self for ones

Sunday should be a day of escape
from the things that irrita:e, annoy
and sap our strength. 1t should be
day with a purpose that brings re-
lease from the weeks routine. The
man or woman who permits Sunday
to be starved or crowded out loses
the best part of the week. Sunday
brings it's own peculiar gifts to the
spirit--rest, worship recreation,
leisure, renewal of friendship and
meditation Never were these values
more needed than today, and 1t is in

A GREAT PUBLIC SERVICE.

Judge Alton b. Parker, president OF the Ma
tional Civic Federation, has appointed COM
mittee to inquire into the detectives and tactics
OF revolutionary forces in this country; to IN
qure into the extent to which these forces have
pe1meated the various divisions that make up
our body politics to make a survey of industrial,
political and social progress. The committee
is composed of men and women whose integrity
Of purpose ought not to be doubted by anyone
and who represent widely divergent interests
and sections Of this nation.
What the committee is told to find out is just
what the people of this nation want to know.
A lot of investigation has been done under gov
eminent sponsorship, but for one reason or an
other it has been productive of little real convic
ton by the people that the whole situation is
accurately portrayed. An impartial inquiry,
judicially and published without
fear or favor will constitute great public serv-
ice.

When Secretary Daniels contributes his
feeble bit to support of the treaty by declaring
that if it is not ratified we must have huge
navy at once, he does good neither to his cause
nor himself; there is no ground for knowledge of
what our needs will be in either event of the
treaty decision. But when he proposes meas
ures constituting and maintaining naval re-
serve of twenty-seven thousand men, he is SEN
sible. There is the same need Of a naval re-
serve as of an army reserve; moreover, 1t is a
longer task to train men for naval service than
for army duty. The merchant marine needs all
the recruits it can get; the navy must provide
for its own future needs.
