Plainly speaking, is not the gov

avoid plunging over which a repu

heavily taxed people?
The bonded debt resting upon the
people, when you consider that of
the United States government, and
that of the several States, counties
and municipalities, is already stag

is that the Federal government will

undesirability of an extension of I

"Is Sunday an American Mistake?"
The argument of John Royal Har
ris in his speech at the C. P. Church
Thnrsday night, Jan. 26, was that
for nearly three hundred and twenty-five
years America has had the
Sunday custom and supporting laws
and decisions in , practically every
State, and has developed the finest
civilization on earth through thus
conserving our man-power and our
moral influences. Foreigners are now
trying to force on us what is known
as the continental Sabbath to make
us like the lands from which they
came. Their claim that our Sunday
'is an Invasion of personal and re
ligious rights and unconstitutional
amounts to the startling charge that
at this late date, after all these re
sults, they have come jlong and
pointed out our mistake, which is a
treat joke on us and our lega) lights
If ii be true.
Answering the charge that the
Sunday edvocates are going against
. the fennders of this, country who
came here to escape religious op
pression, he said: "They, are the
name people who founded the Ameri
can Sunday."

3 or we cannot run the republic on
some national obligations. Chairman
Fordney of the House Ways and
Means Committee, still talks of get
ting it out of interest on the foreign
debt. That would mean a refunding
of that debt with bonds indorsed by
the United States.
The bonded debt of the nation at
the beginning of the present year
totaled the enormous sum of $23,-
438,989,351. That is a Btaggoring
sum of money, and under the best
conditions it will be many years and
long after the present generation has
passed, that the annual interest' pay
ments will cease to be a burden on
the taxpayers and an impetus to na
tional progress.
Still every State, county, munici
pality and private enterprise seems
to have the propensity to stretch its
credit to the utmost in the issuance
of bonds, and as is said in what is
quoted above, "the interest on all
these bonds must in the main be paid
out of the purplus earnings of pro
ductive industry." If for some reason
there should for several years be no
such surplus, then there would be
financial collapse, followed by do
lorous times and perhaps by dire ca
lamity.
There should be a check to the ex
travagance, xand especially to the
bond issue practice, by which an ex
travagant generation may fasten the
consequence of its prodigality on a
future generation. But the evil re
sults are not always postponed, and
those who sow the wind sometimes
reap the whflwlna.- -
