Massachusetts has a statute of 1697 punishing blasphemy with a year in jail or a heavy fine, which Brockton has invoked against a Lithuanian lecturer. Tennesee only goes back 123 years. The men of that state who wish to make Sunday a day of gloom .silence and malevolence have used a law of 1S03 to issue war rants against newspaper publishers, cigar and candy stores, taxi opera tors, street car lines, news-dealers, filling stations and drug stores. Any one who plays a game of authors on Sunday is liable to a fine. Both revivals illustrate the coward ice that is always an element of high ly repressive measures. Nobody in Brockton cares whether the Lithuan ian is an athiest or not. The real reason for attacking him is that he is a radical. The Tennesee bigots know they could never hope to get a law through the present-day legis lature paralyzing every Sunday ac tivity except church-going. But with an unctious air they dig out a statute passed in the backwoods days when churchgoing and creek baptising were the only diversions. ! Against such laws there wil doubt j less be reaction. They simply illus- trate the truth that even in Massa- chustees there are still some people with the mentality and liberalism of 1697, and that in Tennessee there are a good many with the enlightenment and social outlook of 1S02. :o:- C0MPULS0RY PATRIOTISM One of the most marked charac teristics of our new America is the wave of compulsory patriotism that is sweeping the country. The law of ke an is no longer satisfied with the old laissez-faire polio. One of the methods for insuring the rise of future Patrick Henrys is the en- the schools, with their sinister in fluences, are being regulated out of existence. j Revolutionary struggle. Lven bet ter, this passion for patriotism shows tself in law against aliens. The idea is to make it so irksome to be alien embrace citizenship of the United States. In this field, the leading is that of Oregon, which compels all aliens who conduct butcher or grocery, shops or who run apartment houses l or places of amusement to hang out 'signs showing nationality. The idea here Is that business will be so rot ten they will have to become Ameri ' cans, willy-nilly. ( Obviously, "America" should be amended to go something like this: My country, 'tis of thee I can't help but loving thee. . . . :o: . New light is thrown on the burn ing question of when is a man drunk by the incineration of Frederick Beverly Pearson, wealthy young Chi- t cagoan. Pearson was found burned to a cinder in a chair in the room of a Chicago hotel. The flames around his companion who was asleep in bed, and who escaped with his cloth ing on fire. But Pearson sat calmly through it all. Any man who can stand this test is thoroughly drunk. None others need apply. :o: . i School supplies at lowest prices at Bates Book and Stationery Store. 1 OUE BOY SCOUTS Recently the Boy Scouts of Amer ica celebrated the anniversary of the organization of the movement that now is world-wide in its scope and influence. In the United States alone there are about 800,000 Boy Scouts, and every one of them on the way of becoming better boys, no matter how good their home and school train ing, by reason of being members of this organization and obeying their oath, which is in these words: "On my honor I will do my best: To do my duty to God and my country and to obey the Scout law; to help other people at all times; to keep myself physically strong, mentally awake and morally straight." Just pause a moment, you fathers and mothers, you also who are not parents, and think what it means to the present t)oyhood and to the future manhood of this country to have 800,-J 000 boys thinking and living in ac-, cordance with that simple oath, or pledge. More and more grown people are thinking seriously about the Boy Scout movement and work as is indi cated by the fact that at present more than 20,000 men are serving as scout-J masters, volunteering their services. mostly, because they see good that they can do. More workers, however, are needed to provide for boys waiting to enroll as Scouts. More and more civic and other organizations are taking interest in Boy Scout work because it is seen to be the means of saving many boys and of keeping larger numbers in the way that is right and that leads all to respectable and respected manhood. " The Boy Scout motto is "Learning by doing." This leads them into many very practical activities, among them hiking, swimming, camping, being cheerful, keeping clean, giving obe dience to constituted authority, whether it be that of parents, of scoutmasters, or of society, or of or ganized and orderly government. If the Boy Scouts did nothing more than to "Do a good turn daily," which is a Scout slogan carried into prac tical effect, they would be worthy of serious and considerate attention, and of help, also. But they are doing so very much more that they are en titled to every consideration that can be given to them. Long live the Boy Scout organiza tion, and may its membership con tinue to grow and its influence to be felt to the uttermost parts of the earth. :o: GET RID OFJHAT BACKACHE Plattsmouth People Point the Way.

ALL WRONG A speaker before a sportsmen's dinner at New York the other night remarked that "if every man, woman and child in the country had a sport hobby there would be no need for any police forces anywhere." That statement was about as far wrong as a short statement like that could be, and it's quoted only because it's characteristic of so much of the cheap thinking that goes on nowa days. Sports are fine things for those who indulge in them, but they don't exactly broaden the mind, remove ' ' prejudices and lead people to things' we need before we can talk of abolish ing police forceB.
