BLUE LAW ADVOCATES
RAPED IN K. C. PAPER
"Gloomy" Sabbath Not justified,
Says Article in Columbia
Magazine.

American newspapers are more
, than half right In their ridicule OF
the "pietistic gentry who would make
the Sabbath self-conscious day Of
gloom instead of what 1t was meant
to be, a day set apart for religious
duty and recreation Of mind and
body" declares the Official Knights Of
Columbus organ, Columbia, in Its cur
rent issue.
The article strikes a note of warn
ing TO blue law advocates concerning
dangerous social effects threatened by
indiscriminate reform movements.
On the other hand, though, the ar
ticle AYERS: "It must also be said
that blue law advocates are not with
out some reason for their position
when they can point, as sometimes
and in some places they can. to COM
mercialization of the Sabbath demand
recreation. But IL the poor man is
prohibited from participating in a
corner-lot base ball game on Sunday
his not-so-poor compatriot should
certainly be inhibited from golf1ng on
the Sabbath.
Wholesome recreation OF whatever
kind is helpful to the Sabbath rest
after religious duty is fulfilled; un-
wholesome pleasure Is injurious al
ways and forever subject to check.
even II prescription is practically un-
wise or impossible When the blue
laws operate to punish the producers
of SO edifying a spectacle as 'Veron-
ica's Feil,' the American passion play,
they not only become unreasonable.
but cast the comic cloak of ridicule
over the whole blue movement"

T. G. WILSON WRITES ABOUT
THE DEATH OF HIS WIFE

Ed. Democrat 1t is my duty to
write the news of the saddest be-
reavement it has ever been nay mis-
fortune to meet. My wife, my COM
-panion of "a years, has obeyed ma
ture's call and is now at rest with
the billions that have gone before.
She now sleeps In as beautiful a
cemetery, the Rose City, as can be
found anywhere on this mundane
sphere we call earth.
Louise Jennings was born in
GAINESVILLE, o., about so years ago.
Her father VIM. Jennings was quite
a prominent citizen and officer in
that city. She was married to T. G..
Wilson in 1869. She was the mother
of two children who each died at less
than a years age. Her last was
Howard S. d. Wilson, born on Meigs
creek, Morgan county, May 81 1,1875,
who now lives at 1896 East Stark
street, Portland, Ore, which is my
future home.
She was never very strong, but a
good manager and lived to see us
all in good circumstances. She took
sick four months ago and though
we had her under the care of four
different doctors, she just lost
strength and grew weaker each day
until the last when she went to
sleep as calmly as tired babe. She
professed no religion, seldom at
tended any church, only on Mem
orial G. A. r. The ladies of the Re-
lief Corps Of which she was a prom
inent member, held their beautiful
ritual services, and to please our
friends Il had a friend preacher give
short talk from short sketch of
her life which l gave him, and he
gave a beautiful talk on her patrio-
tism, how she loved her home and
how she tended her flowers and liv-
ed at peace with her neighbors, etc.
All united in praising him for the
best funeral Grafton they claimed to
have ever heard. She looked so
calm and innocent, as she lay in a
| fine casket, she looked just like she
slept. l think of the poets lines:
wonder sometimes if the spirit
that's flown
Returns to the mourners again,
And l ask for, sign from that
trackless unknown
Where millions have questioned
in vain. GAINESVILLE papers
