That Drastic Sunday Bill.

The editor of the Lamar (Colo.)
Sparks, in it's issue of March 80, makes
the following comments upon the
present Sunday bill, Fl. R. 9753, pend
ing before Congress-:
A drastic Sunday blue law for the
District of Columbia ia now pending
in Congress, and there is danger that
it NAV pass unless the advocates of
Constitutional liberty protest strong
ly to their Senators and Representa-
tives. Should this measure pass, it is
only question of time until its pro-
visions are extended to include the
whole United States. .. The pro-
posed Sunday blue law is sponsored
by those eminent professional reform
ers, Messrs. Bowlby and Crafts, whose
pious souls writhe in anguish every
time they see one of their fellow
mortals manifesting any signs of en-
ioyment on the Sabbath day. The
mistake of liberal minded people in
the past has been that they failed to
take the efforts of the reformers ser
iously, remaining silent and indiffer-
ent while the other fellows were or
ganized and active. This tolerant at
titude on the part Of the majority led
timid Congressman and State Legisla-
tors to enact many restrictive laws
during the past fifty years. Although
the majority of these laws are never
enforced because they run contrary
to public opinion, the rabbits in our
lawmaking branches are afraid to re
peal them, lest they offend the self
constituted regulators of other peo-
ple's habits.
We believe in upholding the dignity
Of the law and law enforcement, but
we also believe that we ought to en-
act noslaws which are devoid Of all
dignity and which the people are un-
able to reverence and respect. Un-
less law is in harmony with the
spirit OF the people and the spirit o.
the guarantees Of civil and religious
liberty as vouchsafed to the citizens
bv our Federal Constitution, it woult
be- far better not to enactit. Enacted
as they are, in hostility to the Consti
tuition, it we're far better to repeal al
such un- American laws than to retail
them.

VOLU State Historical ssI ST..
Baptist Home.

The editor has very cordially re-
quested me to write for him the facts
concerning the accident that befell
Mr.. James BiIledo while working on
the Baptist Home building, and ex-
presses his sincere regret that he al
lowed the unfavorable criticism from
a correspondent to get into print last
week. Mr.. Billedo was at work tear
ing down a portion of caffolding
when he fell, breaking his leg. The
marvel is that he escaped with no
worse injury. was at his home sew
eral times and know he suffered a
good deal, but he was brave patient.
I am pleased to know of the progress
ne is making toward recovery. So
far as know, no one saw Mr.. Billedo
fall. The scaffolding he was working
ON was part of the scaffolding that
had been used in the erection of the
wall. had often been out on it when
there were half dozen men working
from it and tons of stone lying on it.
But the wall had been finished and
there was no use for the scaffolding.
1t was this scaffolding Mr.. Billedo
was tearing down when he fell. The
contractor carries employers liability
insurance to cover cases of this kind.
Mr.. Billedo knows this, and also
knows that in this case he is bene-
ficiary of this policy. The matter of
indemnity or compensation is entire
ly out of the contractors hands and
lies between Mr.. Billedo and the in
surance company.
Mr.. Editor, you will permit me to
say that I appreciate the editoria
support you have given the Home
through all these years. You are
broad minded enough to see not only
the Homes moral worth as phil
anthropic institution, but also its
worth as an economical asset to the
community. In the last twelve months
the Home as part of its ordinary
running expenses has paid out seven
thousand five hundred dollars ir
wages. All this has been paid to loca
people who live in the community
and spend their money here. Besides
this, the contractor, himself loca
man, has paid in wages within tht
last six months, five thousand dollars
paying as high as 1915 per day. Ane
his workmen have practically all beer
local men. And this is making NJ
mention of the provisions and ma
terial purchased from local dealers by
both the Home and the contractor
Furthermore, the money spent il
Ironton by the Home is not just swap
ping dollars, for the money come
from other parts of the state, and that
too, not in exchange for Ironton com
modities, but costs Ironton nothing
except what individuals are minded
contribute to the Home as a work o
philanthropy. The money given by
thousand communities in Missouri j
spent in Ironton. Many communitie
would be glad to have the Home il
their midst merely for its commercia
value. MILFORD RIGGS,
Superintendent.

October 10, 1922.
Editor Reynolds County Outlook:
| am just finishing my first week as
member OF the Constitutional Con-
vention, and have enjoyed the work
greatly. I find the members earnest,
industrious and painstaking in pass
ing upon the draft of the new Con-
stitution, to be submitted to the peo-
pie.
My weeks attendance here has
taught me that Senator Frank FL. Far
ris is an invaluable asset to this Con-
vention, because of his knowledge of
the nature of the work in hand, and
secondly, because of his ability to ex-
press himself upon questions of vital
importance. And further find from
a careful alalysis of his conduct, his
speeches and his vote, that he is GER
tainly in harmony with the best in
terest of the greatest number in this
state.
This statement is made without the
knowledge of Senator Farris and
without hope of reward upon my
part, but in view of opinions both had
and expressed by me in the past,
feel that it is but just upon my part tc
make these state ments.

McAdoo Outre the G. o. P.
missouri State Journal,

tN1lSSOuIl StdLt JouIIdiJ
Mr.. McAdoo always did have way
of finding out how to do things when
other people were in doubt. He even
has evolved plan to help out the
dilemma of Republican statesmen
who say that they cannot pay the
soldiers bonus because there is no
way in which the funds may be secur-
ed. McAdoo tells these gentry that
they could pay it out of the excess
profits to be made by the profteers
under the operation of the Fordney-
McCumber tariff bill within five years.
Listen to the Republican wall as this
proposal goes forth!
Nevertheless the McAdoo sugges-
tion will be in vain for the very good
reason that the theory of Republican
craftsmanship is that the common
people should pay the taxes, and that
the rich profit taker should be per-
mitted to go his way, scot-free, in
order that he may be properly ap-
preciative Of Republican favors when
the time rolls around to dig up cam
paign finds. This is the real reason
why Republicans are always so afraid
to touch the big fellow with taxes
They want the governm ent to keep
"hands off, the purse of the multi
millionaire and the profiteer, for this
is their own peculiar pelf and they
exert extraordinary efforts to main
tsin their preserves.

tory, now being compiled by the Mis-
souri, State Board of Agriculture CO.

Missouri breeders will get profitable
results from this directory in proper

1920, found ready demand and served
a useful purpose Thru it Missouri's

states and countries and Missouri
breeders were the gamers.
The new directory, as now planned,
is moro comprehensive and is another
of the agencies being employed by
these cooperating agencies to make
Missouri live stock better known the
world over. Mr.. Breeder, if you own
pure breds and have not sent in your
list do SO at once. If you have not
received blanks for reporting your

WASHINGTON. March s
Termination of the Anglo
Japanese alliance and subSti-
tuition of q political system,
actuated by peace, inn the Pacific,
was described in the Senate today
by Senator Lodge of Massachu-
sets. The Republican leaders and
a member OF the American arms
conference delegation, as the
"main purpose of the 4-power Pac-
ific treaty" "The Anglo-Japanese
arrangement" he declared, was re-
garded as "the most dangerous ele
ment in this governments relations
with the Far East. "He asserted
that if the 4-"ower pact with its
clause abrogating the alliance,
failed, the naval limitation agree
ment also would be endangered
resulting in failure of the arms
conference. "No entangling al
liances are included in this treaty
and no povision contrary to Amer
lean tradition. He characterized it
as ''only an experiment" but add
ed that it was the one that must
succeed if the United States is TO
make good its professed desires to
take the lead il guiding the world

Rules To Pass
Measure
WASHINGTON, March

WASHINGTON, March 8
Republican leaders disclos-
ed today that they were con-
sldering a plan to put the
soldiers bonus bill through
the House under a suspension Of
the rules which would shut out
amendment of any kind and limit
debate to 40 minutes. Under this
plan a tWothirds vote would be
necessary to pass the measure.
Monday, March 20, will be the
next rules suspension day of the
House.
WASHINGTON, March 8-Af-
ter weeks of work. and IVORY the
majority of the House Ways and
Means committee has evolved
bill for the soldiers bonus on
which it apparently intends to
stand pat, Chairman Fordnev and
his co-WoIkers believe their bill
will meet with only feeble oppo5i-
ton. Just what will happen in the
Senate is more or less problema-
teal, Since the President advised
the House committee to pay the
bonus with sales taX or postpone
the legislation, it is expected that
the opponents Of the sales tax
in the senate viii op-
pose the measure.
