South Carolina intends to give the
Nation an example of blue law en-
forcement such as it has not seen
since the time long ago when the
Sabbath really was day Of rest and
meditation.
Right now the governor is re-
strained from giving his ideas on the
question Of Sunday closing full sway.
But he revealed today that unless the
high court of his State forbids him
he is going to close up South Carolina
alright on Sundays. At the same
time he let it be known why anti
evolution laws have made so little

goods were stopped and all amuse-

sporting element. After we had made
arrests and had obtained convictions,
they got out an injunction restraining
the State from enforcing the law
against the playing Of golf and selling
of gasoline, so that we now are wait

DREYFUS PROMISES AID.
Joins Committee to Come to u. S. in
SaccO-Vanzetti Protest.

PARIS, July 27 CP.-Maj. Alfred
Dreyfus, who was the central figure
In one Of the worlds most famous
criminal prosecutions in the early
90S, serving four years in the French
penal colony of Devils Island only
to be exonerated later of the charge
Of treason, for which he was con.
Victed, has accepted an invitation to
be a member of a committee to go
to America to plead the cause of
Nicola Sacco and Barto1omeo VanZetti,
In Massachusetts.
The committee, being organized by
the newspaper L'Oeuvre, is to be
made up of eminent personalities like
Countess De Noailles, poetess; George
Lecomte, noted academician; Prof.
Langevin, Louis Loucheur and Louis
Malvy, former cabinet ministers, and
M. Campinchi, famous French advo-

"HOuse Of Governors Urged.
A House of Governors" composed

Gov. Albert c. Richie of Maryland
at banquet last night attended by
delegates to the conference.
An organization ION a stronger and
more comprehensive basis than the
yearly association meeting with a
competent secretariat and trained as
sistants and adequate facilities" was
pictured by Gov. Richie as an ideal
outcome of the annual conferences
held by the governors.
1T may be true that an organiza-
ton such as we can form would have
no legally recognized standing; that
ways and means of meeting its ex-
penses would have to be thawed out;
that Congress and Legislatures might
ignore it's efforts; that in the last
analysis it could only consult, debate
and agree or differ; but it seems to
me that such an organization as
suggest, permanently alert and work

assert the rightful functions of the

check the modern drift to excessive
naturalization and could not fail to be
