Sunday Baseball

ministers associations ana
other church groups are now
seeking to deprive the people of
several North Carolina cities of
the opportunity to see baseball
games on Sunday. This is an
effort to impose upon one part
of the population the religious
views of another part, and | sim
cerely hope the effort will fail.
No referendum upon the ques-
ton has been held, but my belief
is that, if they had chance to
vote on the question, the major
ity of the citizens in the COM
munities where Sunday baseball
has recently been introduced
would rebuke those who want to
regulate the conduct of their
neighbors. But, even if ma
jority oppose Sunday baseball,
that is no good reason to forbid
it; if two or three thousand out
of fifty thousand want to see
baseball on Sunday, they ought
to have the right to do so.
One sees encouraging signs in
the newspaper dispatches. Judge
Patton ruled last week that the
members of the Raleigh and
Durham teams violated no city
ordinance in playing in Durham
July 10; and in Charlotte the
Carolina Conference of Seventh
Day AdVentistS announced that
it was opposed to the prohibi-
ton Of Sunday ball. b. G.. Bow
en-, an official of the conference,
said that if an ordinance were
passed forbiddihg any Sunday
activities such az baseball his
church would probably file a
form protest. THE Seventh
Day Adventists believe" he
said, that any ordinance GOV
crning Sunday activities would
necessarily be on religious
grounds. The church does not
have any business in politics,
and the government has no right
to interfere in religious affairs" "
The Raleigh NerS and OBJ
Serrer came out with an edi-
torial, this last Sunday, headed
THE Sabbath Was Made for
Man" The title was pleasing
surprise to me, for had observ-
ed with pain, in times past. that
upon this subject the "Old Reli-
able reflected much the same
views that prevailed in the
priesthood of the Massachusetts
Bay Colony about the year 1890

AL. but, alas dS, TcdU Oh, L
found that the editorial belied
the title. True, it conceded that
''the Hebrews construed the law
so that it became a burden in
stead of a day Of worship and
rest" but it deplored "the
breaking down of the inhibition
toward work and play on Sun
! day, with the consequent de-
struction to much of good to the
/ physical as we'll as the religious
well-being of mankind;" it SYM
pathized with the apprehension
Of the ministers and others in
Raleigh" that Sunday baseball
would promote disregard and
dlsrespect for a day held sa-
cred as the Lords Day" The
editorial gave its sanction 10 the
effort TO prevent Sunday base
ball.
Well, perhaps it's going a bit
too far to say that with regard
to Sabbath observance the NeWs
and Obserrer is back in.the 17th
century. In those days the fail
ure to go to church was Grim
inal otfense. They put man in
the stocks if he hoed his garden
on a Sunday, and | remember
having read somewhere that per
siStence in certain infractiOns of
the Sunday observance law was
punishable by death. OF course
the Nc}rs and ObSerrer doesn't
hold with such severe treatment
as that. 1t sees no harm in many
Sabbath activities that We're
once considered sinful
But what the Nc}rs and OBJ
ScrrcI' wants to do is to permit
those Sabbath activities Of which
it happens, itself, to approve,
and forbid those which are APP
proved by others but not by it.
self. 1t makes It's own diStinc-
tionS. but it is not willing for
other people TO make theirs.
Why. | should like to ask, is
there any more harm in Sunday
baseball than there is in the la
Dor which the NeWs and Obserr-
er's editors and reporters and
printers and carriers perform
every Sunday? The NeWs and
Observer appears regularly ev-
cry Monday morning, and that
means that its editorial and
printing force, three or four
dozen men, spent a day of toll
on Sunday. And it is real toll !;

SCHOOL EXPENSES
SHOW A DECLINE
FROM LAST YEAR
Pay of New Teachers Will Be
Less than That of Those
Whom They Replace
STATE GRANT IS S2O,4O9

The current expense budget
for the Chapel Hill school for
the present year lending June
80, 1889, presented to the
school board last night by Su-
perintendent Gwynn and Audi
tor Rogerson, is $38,25O, a de-
crease of S651 from last year.
The debt service budget is
S11, ,048, decrease of S221. The
capital outlay budget is S2,128,
an increase of 1923. Thus the
total budget is S51,426, a de
crease Of $544.
What the school tax rate will
be is not known yet, for the fix
ing Of the rate depends upon the
total tax assessments in the
school district, and the tax
scroll is not yet completed
However, the figure for the as
sessments can be closely esti-
mated there was no revaluatiOn
this year and so the figure will
remain about the same.
The school district includes
territory outside Of the towns
corporate limits, and therefore
the total Of the assessments
is higher in the district than in
. the town. The 1881 assessments
lnsthe town amounted to So, $3.50
600. in the district to $4,G8O, 900.
Based on the best estimate
that can be made now, the cur
rent expense rate should be 81
cents, the debt service rate IA
cents, and the capital outlay !
cent, a total school rate Of 81
cents on the 500.
The larger part Of the fall in
the current expense budget is
brought about by. a reduction in
the amount allotted for teach
ers' salaries. The new teachers
will receive less than those whom
they replace
The state Equalization Board
has granted to the Chapel Hill
district for the months term
for this year $19,287, less by
$732 than the district asked for.
The grant for the extended term
is S1,122, less by $783 than was
asked for.
From the state and county
combined the Chapel Hill school
district receives allOtments to
total Of $28,138. After certain
adjustments, required under the
local government finance act, are
taken into account, the amount
that remains to be raised from
the local tax levy is $24,062, less
than half Of the years total
budget. The tax rate is deter
mined by dividing the amount
Of the tax budget by the amount
of the tax assessments.

PERFORMING BEARS
VANISH FROM RUMANIA

BUCHAREST (NANA).-In many
of the villages of Rumania regret is felt
for the passing of the performing bear
who is fast disappearing. The main
reason is not the loss of a once-favored
amusement.
The peasants believe bears have a
strange power of curing rheumatism,
and on the arrival of man with per-
forming bear, persons suffering from
lay form of this prevalent complaint
tould gather around him and lie down
n the ground, allowing the bear to
rample on and about them.
Rumanian doctors are glad this rem
7dy is now perforce being superseded
ov more scientific treatment.

Because Of the interest and
support of American women,
both here and overseas, the
Near East Industries is contin-
u1ng its work Of helping refugee
women to support themselves
and families.
Its policy during its 10 years
OF operation has been to sus-
tain family life by providing
employment for the able mem
bers Of broken refugee families
the widows and orphans-in
the one field where they have
traditional skill.
In Greece, the Athens work

Within recent years, this work
shop has developed a number
Of interesting activities which

OF its real purpose, the creation
OF work for a destitute group.
For instance, the really excel

 Through a novel method of sym chronization, Director Edmund Goulding underlines the action and dialogue in the drama with atmos- pheric music, composed by him. self in collaboration with orches- tration experts.
 Goulding who wrote the music for "Love, Thy Magic Spell Is Everywhere" and other numbers. planned the musical score to em- phasize the emotional intensity of the scenes and to interpret the varying moods of the action. Par ticularly effective use of muic was made in the love scenes between Greta Garbo and John Barrymore.
