when all Europe was Catholic, un-
known even to some of the Reformers.
We all know the story Of John Knox
calling on John Calvin on a Sunday
and finding him playing at bowls. The
attempt to revive in the twentieth
century this fanaticism Of seven
teenth-century sect is a curious bit of
reaction. Knowing the power of de-
termined minority and the feeble knees
of LOO many members of Congress and
state legislatures, all Americans who
believe in a sane and human Sunday
must fight from the start all this blue.

1t is pathetic to see President Will
son, in reply to the request of the
league of nations, proffer his person
al mediation thru a representative to
end hostilities, and add that he has
no power to enforce his recommends
tion. This is the state to which
Lodge, Johnson, Borah and other re-
dictionary republicans sought to reduce
: d. And yet how much greater is he
in the eyes of the world than his pic
ayunish enemies.

Gainesville has a good regulation

Regarding the Stars copying the
Clearwater Suns recent remarks OH
brick roads, the Sun says:
1.-THE brick seem to be all right. 1t
apparently is the poor manner of lay
ing them that makes the roads a
crime, along with the fact that they
are but nine feet wide and traffic has
been so immense that the sides of the
roads have become deep ruts. Take
the same brick and lay 16-foot road
in a workmanlike manner and there
win likely be little cause for COM
plaint.n
We daresay the Sun is right. Poor
workmanship far more than material
is to blame for the faults in public
work these days.

The recent severe gales have driven
a number of the migratory birds of
their usual routes. A number of looms
and other northern birds have flown
over, some coming down to rest in our
lakes and ponds. These birds are un-
der federal protection, and shooting
them is punishable by heavy fine, SO
if any of our sportsmen see an unus-
VA bird, they had best let it alone.

That traffic marker at the corner OF
North Magnolia and Washington was
an ugly thing, but it should be re-
placed by something. at least no worse
looking, before there is an accident.
That is very dangerous corner, and
now that the traffic marker is remoy-
ed and cars going from Washington
into Magnolia south turn the corner
on the left, it is more so.

PLYNN LApp

With the passing Of Plynn Ladd,
Dorset has lost one Of its most vivid
personalities Raey, pungent, intense
ly alive and alert, there never was
anyone like him and there never will
Be cgain. Those who saw him only
occasionally, as well as those who
knew him intimately, have lost a
spice from life for which there can be
IS substitute. How he told story!
Ills sense 81 the dramatic was such
that be acted rather than narrated an
episode, dwelling upon its details with
such varying tones and gestures that
rs re-crtated Il before his listeners
eyes, his own eyes flashing with ami
nation and his whole face alight. He
was very ingenious, was Plynn. Let
something go wrong with a neighbours
plumbing or furnace, and he was in
Els clement, cogitating, his pipe in his
mouth, producing suggestion after
brilliant suggestion until he hit on the
right che and the problem was solved.
No pains were too tedious for him to
take, no time too long for him to
spend; ia fact, be had a superb disre-
gard for time As for sick horses and
dogs ard cats, he was their friend in
need, How he enjoyed life! Not even
the rheumatism from which he suffer
81 Increasingly could dull the edge Of
his zcst. And his optimism was I'M
failing; always he was just on the
point of being cured by a new remedy.
