Blue Laws Interfere With Liberty
To the Editor:

To the Editor:
make no war whatever on the
man who believes that Sunday should
be observed as a Sabbath, but / GER
tainly do object to his trying to COM
pei anyone else to observe the day.
When the Lords Day alliance or
any other association announces that
they desire to get legislation that will
in effect invade the rights of the in
dividual conscience. And when they
give out that they desire return to
the Puritan Sunday, we have per-
feet right to investigate the workings
of that sort of laws when they were,
enforced, and we also have right to-
expect that once started on such a
line of legislation men will not stop
till they have all they have ever ask
ed for or wished that they might
have.
The Puritans did not know or prac-
tice even the simplest and plainest
principles of religious liberty.
All they wanted or understood was
to- have liberty to do as they them
selves thought right, and they laid
heavy hands on those who dared to
dissent from their standards.
Modern apostles of return to the
so-called blue laws have no clearer
visions than did their prototypes, and
when they get the laws called for will
lay just as heavy hands on any OBJ
jecting minority that may be found.
1t is just as true today as it was in
the days of Paul that if Righteousness
be the law, then Christ is dead in
vain, and without entering at this
time into the question of which day
of the week is the Christian Sabbath,
it can be said with the most positive
assurance that if it is "Christian" it
should be observed as Christ would
have observed it, and the attitude of
Christ's followers towards those who
do not observe it should be decided
exactly in harmony with the way
Christ talked and acted toward those
who did not follow him or believe on
him when he was here on earth as our
example.
Christ said, "If any man hear my
words and believe not, I Judge him
not: for came not to judge the
world but to save the world. He that
rejecteth me and receiveth not my
words, hath one that judgeth him;
the word that have spoken the same
shall judge him in the last day."
But, to many Of the professed fol-
lowers Of the low'y Jesus, waiting till
the last day for some of their fellow
men to be judged is waiting alto
gether too long. And these religious
enthusiasts, like the Pharisees of old,
want the ones whom they account as
offenders to be judged now, and the
pains and penalties that God has re-
served to Himself to give at the end
of the journey to be inflicted forth
with. All that is not Christian. Just
as truly it is not American, either.
Very truly yours,
Liberty and Truth"

T. Herman Gade, Norwegian Minis

with his wife and daughter on the
Lamport & Holt liner Vauban on his
way to Bergen. He said that he would
spend month in the United States,
and that he had planned to 60 to Chi

Norwegian explorer, who is fitting out
fer a seven years drift in the Arctic
Circle
Mr. Gade said he was an old friend
Of the explorer. and would assist him

tussle with the Arctic ice.

fulfill its campaign platform promise OF
seat for every child.
The effect Of the doube-session basis
was explained by one of the administra-
tive officers of the school yesterday in
the following language:
"The l.o49 girls are not on part time
"a regards subjects, although they are on
part time as regards the number of
hours they are in the school. Owing to
the conditions that exist here, they are
put through four hours' of intensive in
struction that is normally prepared for
five hours There is no break in the day
for them, and they have no study periods
to relieve the intensity of the instruction
they receive All their study must be
done outside of the school"
The congestion at Wadleigh in the
first days of the present session was SO
bad that there were a large number Of
diversified classes and much crowding in
every classroom. The double-sesson
scheme did not relieve ths condition at
first, and it was only after strenuous
efforts that the classes were weeded out
and balanced better This work Of or
gani2ation occupied practically a month
and seriously impeded the effectiveness
OF the school. As it is, there are still
classes with forty-three students in them.

The first year class in Wadleigh num-
bers 1,049, and in order to solve the
problem caused by the failure Of the
hyian administration to construct a
single high school during its term of
office. this class has been put on a
double-session basis.
Yesterday at the morning session Of
this class there we're 440 girls present
and in the afternoon session there were
597 in attendance. The former are in
the school from $3.50 a. m. until 1890
p. m, and the latter from 1:1O p. m
until $40 p. m. The second, third and
fourth year girls attend the school be-
tween the hours Of $50 in the morning
and 2:40 in the afternoon. They number
2,4SS, so that at all times the class
rooms Of the school are crowded to ca
paclty, with the exception Of two and
half hours in the afternoon, when the
school should be normally closed, and the
teachers through work for the day
At noon every day large number of
the first year girls can be seen sitting
Oh the stone steps leading to the en-
trance, or seated on the window siils of
the school, patiently awaiting their turn
to receive an education as soon as the
morning session is released. They are
