that Helsingf was his residence

BLUE LAWS

An "age OF reason which would
substitute for the pink-faced Kris
Kringle of childhood IAN indigo.
visaged Jehovah whose Sabbath
must be kept free from smiles by
an order OF blinkered theologians
and their blind political followers, Z
is an age OF reason to be avoided.
This il the opinion Of Thomas B.
Eckloff, / st. N. W., expressed
in speech last night at an anti
blue law banquet held by the Anti
Blue Law Association In the Res
taurant Roma.
Free thought is opposed to the
revival and spread of blue laws as
1t would be opposed to the old
sport of burning witches, declared
Eckloff. Blue laws and the burn
ing of witches are the result Of
restricted thought, bound down by
superstition.
Free thinkers, however, would
not destroy the belief and trust of
children i'm Santa Claus. Our chief
objection is that when the age Of
reason is reached the jolly pink
face of Kris is changed for the
sour face OF joy killing, super
Puritanical Jehovah"
The banquet was a revel Of free
thought and unrestrained speech,
according to those who were pres
ent. every speaker proving a law
unto himself. The feast OF toIera-
ton ranged from q policy OF cpl
cureanisnl to President. Coolidge's
Omaha address. stressing religious
federation. On one point. however,
the speakers agreed unanimously,
that they should stand united
against the influence of blue laws
of all kinds, past. present and fu-
ture.
President Coolidge was praised
for his attitude of religious tot
erance and freedom of Thought
and speech. Edwin r. Evans, re-
tired clergyman. however. declared
President Coolidge is \ setting a
bad example by attending church
every Sunday" Such a practice,
he intimated. is bolstering the
strength of the blue law advocates
