SUNDAY BLUE LAW
BILLS ARE OPPOSED

Petition Calls Myers and zihI-

Iation-Urges Defeat.

Seventh Day Adventists are now
conducting a nationwide campaign of
protest against the Sunday observ-
ance bills introduced in Congress by
Congressman Zihlman and Senator
Myers Through circulation Of petit
lions and mass meetings in all larger
cities they expect to build up or
ganized opposition to the passage of
such laws.
The Washington and Takoma Park
churches are leading the local fight
and have unanimously adopted a res
olution protesting the passage OF the
Zihlman and Myers bills. The reso-
luton, in part, follows:
I'VE are opposed to the Sunday
blue laws because they are religious
in character and contrary to the gen
ius of American system of govern
ment, in violation of the American
principles OF the separation OF
church and State, destructive OF the
First amendment TO the Federal Con-
stitution, opposed to the best inter.
ests Of both church and State, and
above all, they are manifestly un-
American, ;un-christian, unconstitu-
tional, partial and a piece of pure
class legislation favoring certain
duress OF civil law. Religious legis-
lation, unchecked, knows no limita.
tons and no mercy.
1T is therefore necessary that we
take alarm and raise our voices in
protest against the first step head.

encroachment upon our liberties. God

Of religion and no men have a right

HOW EINsTEIN SEES 1T.

HOW EINSTEIN SEES 1T.
Prof. EINSTEIN expresses his
opinions of Americans after return
ing to Germany:
"InteIiectunI life plays no role
whatever over here.
Some American men are inter
ested only In work, while "the
rest of the men are nothing but
little play dogs of the women,
who spend their money In a reck-
less manner
The Prof. admits he WINS greet
cd with "exnggerated enthusiasm"
by people who pretended to know
lots about his theory of RELATIVELY.
hut ABSOLUTELY KNEW MOTH
ING.
Everybody in this country IA
bored because they have nothing
to interest them except work and
being .pIny dogs" 10 women.
New York, Chicago and Boston
are suffering from terrible pow
erty-'POyERTY OF INTELLEC-
TUAL THINGS"
We always suspected what the
Prof. charges about New York, Chi
cago, and Boston. It's awful tough
on Boston, though.
The Prof. didn't put Washington
in with these other cities, and so we
feel flattered. Possibly Washington
did understand the Einstein theory
better than any other city, although
our evening contemporary once had
an editorial admitting that the whole
thing was rather nebulous.
Washington is the greatest "high-
brow" town in the world. A high
brow can talk more fluently about
what he doesn't know a thing about
than any man can about what he
does know about. Einstein was nat
urally impressed by thus meeting
folks of the same class as him
self.
Theorizing has been one of the
principal occupations of the Federal
Capital for some time, notably in
international matters.
They simply got the best Of Elm
stein here by springing some the
cries on him that were as relatively
incomprehensible as his own rels-
tivity vision.
Still, It was not gracious of
the Prof. to say rightout that our
long-haired male theorists and our
short-haired lady Missionaries are
suffering from intellectual poverty.
Without the aid of this class of
ladies and gents Congress would
never have passed some of the Dis
trict laws safeguarding and regu-
lating the morals of this community,
They decide in their evening social
gatherings what theories they want
made into laws for the District and
Congress eats it right up! -.
