Blue Laus and RoIshsvism

We cannot agree with a New York judge who declared on Saturday that the enforcement of blue laws can be of bolshevism. Bolshevism grows out of unjust laws or the unjust administration of laws of the oppression of class of citizens and discrimination in favor of another class. We mean that those are the underlying of bolshevism, though there are other surface causes such founded agitation.
 A blue law" need not be defended in the state ment in its behalf that it is expression of the will of the majority which should always rule, A blue law" foolish and unnecessary it may be- is not apt to be administered unjustly. All come under it alike Blue laws have often been grossly restrc- tive privileges which ought not to be interfered with; which are unnecessary the preservation of decency and good morals in the community. Their enforcement has usually brought about their repeal In other cases though they were allowed remain on the statute books public opinion forced entire disregard of them. There many of these laws now on the of the New England states but they are Undiscovered and forgotten until now and then some diseoverer exhumes them and they are again quoted but only as curiosities revealing the ness of a bygone age. illustrative of the customs and thought of the people at the time of their actment.
 No law can stand long as an active law with nublic opinion against it. Even considerable mi norty of public opinion will force 1t into dlsuse If it cannot effect the repeal of it.
 We are never driven into bolsheyism to rid our selves of oppression by tyrannea majority of our fellow citizens Public opinion on the ballot will make us and keep us free
 The observation of the warning magistrate was that the enforcement of Sunday laws tended to in crease the dscontent "unassimilated immigrants" and that therefore we should be slow in enforcing them. That is a proposed concession to anarchy. The immigrant should first be taught not to question
 
 any laws finds in this country but to ooey t'| whether or not they good laws is immaterai IT A ,oes oot like them let him exercise his voice i,isr when he becomes one, against them. and his voice will have as great carrying power as that of anyone of his millions of fellow citizens whether native or naturazed.

Time and Patrick
 Henry
By Frederic J. Haskin

WASHINGTON, Dec 5. A timely act was the elevation of the name and picture of Patrick Henry the other day to a place in the American Hall of Fame.
 Patrick Henry stood for the right of 8 man to walk the earth free; to say and write what he pleased; to eat and drink what he pleased; to bears arms and defend himself.
 He held that a mans person and his home were his own and that he should not be arrested nor his home nor his belongings searched or seized without a warrant.
 He held that a man should pay no unjust tribute to any power, govern mental or otherwise, and that it was the part of manhood to fight any at tempt to levy such tribute.
 Give me liberty or give me death" meant something to Patrick Henry, The sentence has so long been par roted by schoolboys and parodied by humorists. it has so little in it Of the spirit in which we live, that to us it is dead verbiage. It sounds empty and rhetorical. and even a little absurd But to Patrick Henry it was a literal and passionate statement of the way he felt When he said it. we learn from an old chronicle, the chords of his neck swelled and stood out like ropes, his face flushed, his eyes burned, and the crash of his voice shook the room. The men who had hesitated to risk what seemed a hopeless war were shamed and silent The men who felt as he did were lifted to their feet by wave of feeling. The resolutions that meant war with England were carried with out q dissenting vote.
 An Age of Orators
 That was an age of orators-an agt that needed orators. Newspapers dc the work now They form our princi- ples and make our wars and our peaces But in those days newspapers did not amount to much. The words of mer like Patrick Henry, spoken in small gatherings of intelligent. critical men scattered by word of mouth, by letter to some extent by print, were the req medium of thought and feeling. A mar like Patrick Henry, who could speal with emotional effect and yet with pre- cision and sincerity. was the req mouthpiece of colonial America. H. took the place aikel of Journalism anC of literature in that pioneering, fight ing, freedom-loving land of three mil lion Anglo -Saxons.
 The land in which we live is no nor, like it than it is like China. We ar dominated not by spoken words, bu by printed ones. Tn fact we are over whelmed by them. Thought and in stinct alike are drowned in the turgi flood of shallow printed prattle fo which our minds are little more tha1 conduits. No longer can a sincere ma voice what thousands feel because the feel only what they arc told to feel. Tn orator among us has degenerated int the fter-dinner speaker spewing plat itudes and old Jokes, boring us. put ting us to sleep He is no more kin { Patrcik Henry than parrot is to a eagle.

best people as represented by this niche which the college professors and other worthies have given him in their Hall of Fame. During most of his life Pat rick was viewed with alarm by the best people regarded as a radical, a loafer, and demagogue. He had no affinities with universities, having gone to school only few years and he expressed his opinion of erudition by making 1t his
 motto to study men,
 An unpromisine Boy Patrick was born poor and did no good in school. He wore old and dirty clothes. He tried store keeping twice, and farming once, tended bar in a tav- ern for a while. and made q complete l but undismayed failure in all of these capacities. He then decided to become 1 a lawyer and after six weeks of study went up for bar examination. He ! convinced the examiners that he knew nothing about law, but was a most un-
 usual fellow. and they generously gave him license to practice on the strength of his promise that he would learn q ! little about his profession first.
 Patrick did not spend any great
 amount of time in court, just as he had spent little time in the stores and saloons he was supposed to be con ducting. Patrick spent most of his
 time out in the woods. hunting and fishing. That was his passion. He
 would go for weeks at a time, carrying
 his provisions on his back, roaming
 wherever he pleased, covering all his
 dirtiness with a leather hunting shirt,
 and the finicky Jefferson relates. Even
 when he went to court he walked, car rying his gun and hunting by the way.
 and often he confronted judge and jury ! in dirty b4fe1x alx rlN [ 1f when
 he became a continental figure he saw fit to dress the part covered his bald head with a wig, wore a black suit, a ! white neclltie and cloak of red velvet (Picture him if you ean) But he was
 always ready to throw off these trap
 pings, pick Up rifle and take to the woods. where he felt more comfort , able.
 It is related by many who knew
 Henry that in court his manner was always beautifully grave and formal , but that a faint. ironical smile always i played about his lips.
 That sarcastic smile with which he / faced the world of colonial big wigs I and the fact that he chose to spend , most Of his time wandering through : the wilderness with a gun over his shoulder, free as wild thing, seem tc I us to be the most significant facts n ! real to us now.
 Certainly one of the greatest differ,
 ences between an American of that
 day and an American of this lies fl Q the fact that the Colonial American . had a wilderness to wander in. was { f pioneer and hunter. The moderr = American is either a cockney or
 villager.

OCEAN HAS ONLY ONE INSECT

Of all forms o animated life the insects those which most abundant. not only upon the land, but in the water, since great many species are specially adapted to living near water and spent part of their lives water animals in the of the larvae of mosquitoes.
 It is a singular fact, however. that the ocean. which is richly provided with such various forms of life, ranging from protozoa to the highest forms of warm blooded mammals, such whales and seals. boast but single insect This creature is interestingly described by M. A. Lueigendorff in recent number of Kosmos (Stuttgart).
 The reason for the general absence of insects upon the surface of the is obviously, says this authority the almost ceaseless and often violent motion of the of water together with the gen eral lack of plant life, such might furnish shel tered dwelling places for insects. In view these reasons it is all the surprising to find that species of insect has been able to adapt itself on the ocean waves. This is the seabug Halobates closely related to the fresh-water insect. Hydrome- tra, the widely known water runner" The struct- of this little creatures body is admirable adapted for existence upon water in almost constant mo- tion.
