THE COST OF REING POLITE.

FENIE American public could 100000 a year in
telegraph tolls by discontinung the use of the word
please" in telegrams.
But what profit hath it that the people save S3Ooooo
year. and lose something Of the sweetness Of courtesy
There may be efficiency engineers and cost economists
hunting for pennies TO save who will be shocked by such
seeming waste OF words and money. But Americans
spending 100000 a year on courteous word are
investing well and wisely.
II is really gratifying to find America spending so muol
one word OF courtesy when many OF us are lax IN
words and deeds Of courtesy that cost us nothing at ALL
Courtesy is sweetenlng element in the ordinary re-
laons of our common life, We not mpolite people
but we are in a hurry and in our hurry we take the
rougher way when The smoother is so much easier
II was source of never-ending delight among men o
the A. f. f. to hear cket-selers at railroad stations and
ks in postoniccs in France, say "merc monsieur
thank you sir) when the sale Of a stamp or ticket was
concluded
It was as II one had done them service by buying
ticket or a stamp. Courtesy has become second natur'
among the French
Recently some newspapers have been awarding casl
prizes 10 police folks discovered by reporters These wer
special rewards but in TRUTH courtesy always has pa

II you want 20 keen your hair in good

But to the British mind, the shooting OF fox IS
sacrilege.
Foxes were created to be pursued by hounds. fol-

mounted on the best Of horses.

that there are too many for the fox hunters Foxes have

LAW OR GRACE;
gaDn NrVH a


SABBATH OR SUNDAY?
To the Editor Of The Evening Jour
nal:
Sir: ] have been reading the re-
spective views OF Mr.. Collins and
Mr.. stevens on the question Of the
Sabbath.
Mr.. stevens is very frank in his
admission that the seventh day is
the sabbath and Mr.. Collins is very
drm in his belief OF its observance.
II seems to me that It is not a
Question as to the right or wrong
dav. but whether we are under Law
or Grace. Unless there has been a
confusion in the computation Of
time. Saturday Is undoubtedly the
sabbath. but it. with the rest OF the
law, was given TO one nation only
(Jews). Psalm 147; 1920.
The Sabbath is a part OF the law
given unto Moses in Mount Sinai;
hut it was observed long before that
time. Man never did keep the law
inviolate. and never will. in this dis
pensation, simply because he can't.
The law is holy and just but the ma
terial Il has TO work on (viz. mani
