FRIDAY, JANUARY 28. 1921 The Senate And The Cabinet -If, as it is reported, the Senate is trying to influence Presia'ent-elect Harding to appoint Elihu Root sec- retary of state instead of Charles Evans Hughes, there will never be a better time than now for Mr. Hard- ing to declare his independence of the "Senate oligarchy" of which so much was heard at the time of Hie Chicago convention. There is no question of the ability of Elihu Root - â- â- â- â- -â-  * â€" '« ,+*^»â€"ttj^-different sext. The Pilgrims left the as secretary of_jstate.

He traces the history of such legislation from its incubation in the minds of the Puritans to the present day, drawing, however, a strict and distinct line between the Puritans and Pilgrims, whom, he claims, many people confuse. A Common Mistake "It is a very common mistake," he writes. "The Pilgrims left England and went to Holland, whose laws at that time permitted a religious free- dom which the laws of England did not. From Holland they emigrated to the United States and we have just been celebrating the tercentenary of their arrival. The Pilgrims wished only to be let ajone to worship in their own way.. It was to obtain that freedom that they came over in the Mayflower. They didn't seek to im- pose their views on others. Now that is exactly what most of us wish in this twentieth century, that is. to be let alone to spend our Sundays in our own-way. That being the case we have only respect for the memory of the original Pilgrims. "The Puritans arrived in this country at a later date, they were a to their heart's content. Send them out to the parks and playgrounds, to the green places, to the streets if there is no better place, but send them out in the sunlight and let them shout and play. It will do them more good than going to church and please them infinitely more. Does that sound irreligious? Not according to our notion of religion. So many confound religion with theology. Sr many blindly adhere to forms and dogmas, most of them of pagan ori- gin, and think they are religious. If that is religion we personally haven't any and don't want any. And no Sunday blue laws will make us think differently, either.

We cannot believe that they will succeed, but if they should we wish personally to shuffle this mortal coil before thai day arrives. "The Puritan idea of Sunday ob- servance gives us a pain. No theaters, no amusement of any kind, no base- hall, no golf, swimming, boating, or any healthful recreation of that kind because, according to their narrow conception, such pastimes are a dese- cration of the Sabbath. Even the play and-laughter of little children would be hushed and stilled,by the Puritan. Just think what that means!
