An organization known as the Bafe Toads federation has designated the week gommencibg with the third of April as ‘Safe Roads week with the object of pro- moting the interests of safe roads. No dne will doubt but that there is need of sentering all possible attention upon that important question of mot only making @ roads safe but keeping them so, and rtainly there is much that can be done when vehicular travel on the highways is andergoing such an increase each year, hrough the number ¥ho are operating automobiles. Safety on the highway depends to a large degres upon the assumption of in- fividual responsibility. It ‘makes little fifference how careful a driver may be, or how closely he follows the regulatiohs if the other fellow takes just the opposite. view. The dangers of the highway aré as 10 the careless.

It it is possible te reduce any of the dangers and thereby bring about any improvement that grest num- ber of highway users who stand fer safér roads should put’ forth their best efforts every time they have a chance to boost any such movement. DELAYING JUSTICE. When the superintendent of police of Philadeiphia points to the fact that only *ight of the 105 homicides in that eity remain unsolved from last year it is b marked contrast to conditions which have been revealed in New York city and eer- talnly justifies the Quaker City superin- lendent in his claim thai trime zon to be gained through m-nf ning down of the guilty. That is, how- ever, of prime importance, but it is to be realized that there needs to be & prempt and vigorous prosecution of the accused. In that reepect delphia does net make as good a showing theugh that sannot be attributed to the police but to the methods that are permitted in thé courts. Tn the 87 homicide cases whers Arrests were made there have been omly £2 of the accused who have been bronght to trial there being 58 persons charged with murder Who are on the untried lst Secause of the manner in which those who' represerit them are permitted to take advantage of every technicality in the taw.

He LETTERS TO THE EDITOR No Sacredness to Sunday. Mr. Editor: In replying to A Reader's etter marked Jewett' City, I Bhould ask Islands?” Our articles are pervaded with the spirit of justice and humanity Wwhich is the substance of Christianity. 1f we are exiled there we shall beyin a Chris- tian community because from latest news We learn waole towns in' Fiji are kecept- ing Christianity, The drums erst used to invite to the cannibal feast are now calling the hour of worship and that tos on the seventh day of the week—as the holy Sabbath of the Lord—and not as sacrilegiously called waturday. A gentle- man asked me “Do you mean to say the Fijians are better than the church people of America? I replied, Yes, because they accept truth quickly. So mueh for Fiji and Fijian church bells of which A Reader’s article misinforms virtually, as stating “no laws—no church bells in Fijl.” Sinee this colossal error is in the Jewett City letter, pefchance we may find again a flaw. We discover a vital one in the statement “it is Wrong to work on Sunda: because we are, so commanded.” No- where in the Bible are we commanded to keep Sunday as & sacred day. It is & common working day ltke Monday. The more I work on Sunday reasonably to health the better I feel because God com- manded us to keep as a holy, sacred day the day before Sunagy, and to work the othér six days of the week. I would take Sunday sacredness embodied by many Christians, hold it in the light of the sun, riddle it with bullets til, like chaff be- fore the wind, it disdppears like a phan- tom Which it is. If Fifi Islanders know whish day is the seventh day of the week and keep it hoiy—the culture of New England onght to get this truth through its head and not reiterate the plea of Sunday sacred- ness. Sunday is the first day of the week —the command says the seventh day is the Sabbath—(Friday sun-down to Sat. urday sun-down). The base of an argu- ment must be sound to build a right structure, In A Reader's second article the obsession of the one-day-in-seven the- ory drives the writer of it to persist in verbally banishing us. Here is where error again flaunts her face. !” The Divine command is not to observe the last day of any seties of seven but the identlcal seventh day of the Creation Week. “Remember the — day and keep it holy—the seventh day is the Sab- bath of thy God —— for in six days the Lord made heaven and earth.” Exodus 20th chapter 8-11 verses, The writer with whom 1 am contend. ing seems 1o think we want no Sabbath. We would have the people obey God's holy injunction but not by force of law exalt a counterfeit Sabbath; neither en- act laws compelling observance of the true Sabbath. The case of the man stoned for gather- ing sticks on the Sabbath cited Dy Mr. Troland is an incident of just procedure under a theocracy. The theocratic form of government was tried only once om this planet, but it failed. God irrevocably overthrew it and gave the government of this world to Christ ag a spiritual Head. Any religious law is now out of place in a civil state. Under the theocracy to dis- obey the civil law meant disloyalty *to God. Now, we are to pray for kings and rulers and honor the state as erdained by God to regulate merely human rela- tionships but when civil law conflicts with the Divine law our duty is to obey &ed rather than men. Neither Jew nor Chris- tian hag a right now to restore a theo- cracy.

GEORGE H. STROUSE. Norwich, March 21, 1921, e et e m—r ODD INCIDENTS - IN AMERICAN HISTORY The East and West Linked by Rail. For: many years the idea of jolning the country from coast to coast had been contemplated, but it was not un- til 1859 that a bill ‘was carried through Congress authorizing the grand scheme. Just as ‘things were shaping them- selves for the carrying out of the pro- Ject, the civil war broke out and the enterprise was checked. In July, 1862, the Central Pacific Railroad Company was chartered, with the intention of building a line from the Missouri River to the Pacific. The spirit of rivalry” did lits share in stim- ulating the activity of the Union Paci- fic Company, but little was done on their part until after the -war. The Central Pacific, however, immediately commenced work. Work on the Union Pacific did not begin until eighteen months after the Central had inau- guarted their section of the enterprise, By the opening of the summier of 1868 the two companies’ were nearly equally distant from Monument Point, at the head of Salt Lake. The compe- tition increased as they neared eaclr other, and at last the struggle arose as to the point of junction. The Czh- tral Company wished Ogden fixed as the ¢ of punction, and the Union urged Monument Point. ‘The matter was at last- settled by a decision in favor of the former. The Indians were so hostile to the project that several battalions of United States troops were scattered along the line. That the completion of such a vast enterpriso should be hailed as one of the most memorable achievi | ments in the material progress of the country, was certainly to be expected. 4 Nor is it to pe wondered at the the} original pick 'and shovel employed in commencing such a work should have been preserved and still be looked upon by every patriot with historic inter- est. \In less than one-half or one-third of the time prodicted at|the outset of the enterprise, the road\ was completed. The total mileage of the road built un- der the direct authority and by the aid of the national -goverhment \was two thousand, four hundred miles. The Government subsidy in aid of thesel works amounted to about 364,000,000, of 6 per cent, currency bonds, the com- panies being also authorized to issue (meaning the Jews). It is the Romans who crucified our adorable Lord. The Jews potentially crucified Him, but they had no power but that given them by the Romans. The Romans were sun-worship- pers and kept Sunday to homor the sun- god. All who use this argument of Mr. Troiand would be keeping the day “which is held to by His crucifiers.” 3 1 like not the st'gma which peopls put on the Jews. The Jews of our day are not responsible for what their forefath- ers did. Judea, a province of Palestine, is named from Juda, one of the sons of Jacob, because inhabited by that tribe. * Jesug Christ is of the tribe of Juda. So all His followers ard spiritually of that tribe or Jews since the definition Jew is an inhabitant of Judea. All who ¥o into the Holy City—tle New Jerusa- lemr which is in heaven—tare true Je for it is a Jewish city. The names of the’ Jewish aposties on the foundation stones and the gates of pearl have on them the names of the twelve trihes of lsrael. “And if ye be Christ's then are ye Abrgham’s seed and heirs according to the promise.” See Galatians, 3rd chapter, 25th verse. Let no one disparage the “Jewish” Sabbath for it was given to Adem long before a Jew _existed—and deposited again with the Jewish nation to be given to the whole world. 1t is essentially the Sabbath of the Lord thy God. “The lord . résted the seventh day’ wherefore the Lord blessed the Sabdath Day.” Ex- odus 20th chapter, 11th verse.

Ninety million dollars was the ecost of the Union Pacific Railroad, up te 186, when it was completed; that of the Central Pacific, $75,000,000. On the 10th of May of that year the great his- torical opening of the road occurred at Promonotory Point, Utah, Eminent men from all over the West-attended. The chief feature of the occasion was the approach of two engines, one from the East and one from the West, each decorated with flags and evergreens for the occasion, which saluted one another with_exultant screams. Then a tele- graph wide was attached to the last rail, so that each blow of the sledge should be recorded on every connecting telegraph instrument between San Francisco and Portland, Me. Finally it was announced that the last blow was to be struck. Every head was uncovered with reverential silence while the Rev. Dr. Todd, of Pittsfield, Mass., offered up a brief and deeply impressive invocation. The magnificent tie of laurel, on which was a commemorative tablet or silver, was brought forward, put in place, and Dr, Harkness, in behalf of the State of California, presented Govrenor Stan- ford the gold epike. In behalf of the Central Railroad he responded with a brief sentiment, and Gen.
