NO SUNDAY SESQJI

The Sunday opening question: decided in the mega
tive by the Philadelphia exposition under the Of
church criticism is serious matter. By keeping large
numbers of patrons away from the exposition it may
boom that big and costly enterprise business failure
The exposition depends mainly for its success
patronage outside of the city. The natural time
for visitors within a radius Of several hundred miles
to see the fair is over the week-ends. With Sunday
closing, there SesqUicentennial Week-endS. Mil
lions of possible visitors will attend. Thus millions
of dollars will not be collected repay the investment
of Philadelphia people Exhibits and concessions will
not be profitable Great numbers of Americans will
miss the educational advantages of seeing such
markable presentation of American achievement and
international progress.
The religious side is easily understood. So is the
business side In any outright conflict between the
two, religion and morals naturally nave their
way. The issue however is by clear IN this
case. Two church denominations have been particu-
lary insisent Sunday closing Some other denon-
nations take different attitude The prevalence of
Sunday baseball movie shows, etc. in this country is
evidence that Puritan blue laws thing of the
past.
1t may be that a compromise could be worked out
by which the gates would be open Sunday for view

FAILS TO REACH
TOTALS FOR 1926

Shipments OF eantaIoupcs from
Imperial Valley this season will to-
tai approximately 14,l00 cars, it is
estimated by 7. J. Arnctt, who is
acting as district agent of the
Southern Pacific in the absence of
c. W. Runge, agent.
Arnett has announced that ship
meut1 have already passed the H.
900 ear mark and nearly 100 more
are expected to be sent out. The
total will fall below the mark OF
last year when l4.537 ear loads
were sent out of the valley.
With the grape season only half
over indications are that a new
record in shipments will be cstab-
lishcd. To date 395 carloads have
been sent ont and Arnett believes
the season total Will be approx.
matclv 1000 cars. The total for last
season was 322 carloads. The wa

WET AND DRY FUNDS

The shocking charge is made that it cost about
S35 100000 to obtain the national prohibition amend
ment and that from first to last perhaps S60,000000
has been spent by the dry forces this country OBJ
tain dry legislation and to enforce it when obtained
That is, the figures shocking until you analyze
them little.
Those expenditures, if the figures are accepted as
anywhere near accurate, extend many years.
They were used for propaganda, for the most part
with the full knowledge and sanction Of the people who
contributed the money and with the moral support of
very large part of the American public.
1t has meant, perhaps two to five cents year per
capita spent, whether wisely unwsely, to make the
country sober.
Now the Senate 'sush fund committee" has turn
ed to the vets, to how much they have spent to
make the country drunk That will be much harder to
find out The records of the Anti-Saoon League the
w. c. /. u. etc, rather easily accessible Who can
tell or will tell what vast sums have been poured into
publicity and bribery, in these last Is 20 years, by
brewers and distiers and saoonkeepers to fight local
and national prohibition?

reply:
"The famous first voyage Of Columbus cost
