SUNDAY IS MENACE
DR.. C. A. LipPincott Discusses
"Blue Law Agitation
Before Club.

Man is not made for Sunday
but Sunday is made for man a"
quoted DR.. c. a. LpIincott in dis
cussing the so-caued blue law
agitation before the members OF
the Chamber Of Commerce At their
nOon-day luncheon Monday.
In tracing the origin of the Sab
bath TO the old Jewish history. and
that of Sunday TO the newer Chris
tianity, DR.. Lippincott said:
'It is my firm conviction that the
Sabbath is of Divine origin TO pro-
tect the weak from the strong"
In presenting Dr. LippinCOtt,
John De9aven. who presided at the
meeting, said that a similar talk
was made by DR.. ippincott several
weeks ago to the members Of his
Bible class at the Presbyterian
church.
DR.. Lippincott prefaced his talk
with the origin of the Sabbath and
the observance Of the first day Of
the week now known as Sunday.
He said that while Jewish history
shows a Divine origin for the Sab
bath. there is no such origin for
Sunday. He said that the latter
day is the result Of the Disciples Of
Christ desiring TO commemorate the
day of the resurrection. which took
place on Sunday.
Pay for Amusement
The speaker depiored any at
tempt to legislate from a religious
standpoint. but he insisted that
Sunday should be observed for the
benefit of the human race.

He said that there IS too little in

II would much rather that those
who go to see a baseball game on

They would be just as much
amused and they would derive the
benefit Of the exercise"
Sunday should be protected for
the welfare OF the men, women and
children Of the world" ne said. "It
is human nature for those In auth
ority TO force those under them TO

There are places now that work
their employees seven DAYS a week.

Bond experts OF Chicago refuse e
approve of the $4,000 bonds issue re-
Gently voted by Ironwood electors
says the Ironwood Daily Globe. The re
suit will be that improvements TO the
extent of half million dollars which
Ironwood city authorities contemplate
ed will have TO be abandoned and hun
dreds OF men TO whom employment
was to be given will have TO seek em-
ployment elsewhere. Because OF two
previous special elections were held.
the special bond election recently held
was illegal, as but two such elections
can be held In Michigan in any one
year accordingly to the opinion OF the
bond experts. The 100000 bond issue
also failed to specify on the ballot
the various amounts that would be
used for various improvements and
this also made the election Illegal.

THE FACTS IN THE CASE

The motion made by Martin s. Mac
Donough, counsel for the school board
in the litigation involving The com
plaint OF the Iron County Taxpayers
Association. that the case be dismissed
because of improper execution OF the
petition, was overruled by Judge Elan
nigan who handed down the decision
at circuit court last Thursday.
The decision OF the Judge means
that the allegations containd In thc
bill OF complaint must be answered on
their merits and that a thorough hear
ing OF the controversy will now be
necessary.
The refunding OF money paid to
board members by the board OF cduca-
ton will not be necessary unless the
Judge rules against the board at the
hearing which will probably be held
in November.
The charges OF the Taxpayers As
sociation Involve misappropriation Of
school funds under the special char
ter governing the operation of Iron
River schools. board members are aot
