Likely you will welcome discussion
upon the moral side of the question
as to whether it be advisable to have
the movies open for the people to
attend Sunday afternoon, as 1t seems
to be the most popular discussion
now.
In modest terms the American Leg
ion of this place suggests that the
movies be opened, and advances the
plea that ii will aid them to build a
post home, for the Legion here, claim
ing that it will then be abreast of the
times, in that the Legion in all parts
of the world have built and are build
ing post homes and considering the
fact that now a campaign of educa-
ton under the direction of DR.. Hicks,

has always gone with the Christian
Sabbath and it always will. Those
who seek to break down our Sabbath
laws should be steadfastly resisted
by patriotic citizens, for it would be
an unspeakable calamity to weaken
in any degree the bulwarks of moral
ity and Christian faith. He who votes
for Sabbath dissertation votes against
the welfare of home and church and
state.
The arguments of Mr.. Thomas, if
adopted as a method of procedure,

opportunity to present the citizens OF
Moscow facts of interest about the
movie question, which will be voted
on tomorrow.
The American legion posts in all
parts OF the world are building
homes, but in different ways of Sc
curing them from the method at
tempted here.
I am most. emphatically opposed
however to using the legion as a tool
for permanent Sunday movies. 1t is
quite evident that the Legion is being
used as an entering wedge for the
movies to commercialize Sundays,
and they are offering the Legion the
bait of financial gain to accomplish
that purpose. According to the state
ment Of the Post Historian, the Lee
gion will have all profits for the first
year, and the shows are compensated
by remaining open after hat time.
This gives the show houses an OPP
portunity to have open Sunday, due
to the Legion being the goat. The
Legion leaders have no hope of
erecting a home from their profits of
Sunday openings: they merely aim to
obtain enough for the ground and
then they will ask for aid from the
public for the erection of their build
ing.
Sunday opening does not really
the problem of obtaining a*Le-
gion home.
Respectfully.
JAKE MATTER.
