SAYS WE NEED DREAMERs

AT the First Congregational church
yesterday morning the room was filled
with the emblems of the Womens Chris
tian Temperance Union convention be-
ing held this week. Harry Clifford Lott
sang 1.-THE Recessional" and the pastor,
Rev. William Day, preached on Ma
tional Righteousness" using as his text
Proverbs 14:34, righteousness exalteth
the nation" He said in part:
This text suggests the theme I have
chosen this morning National Right
eousness.'
Our national righteousness is in
peril.
paul said The love of money is a
root of all kinds of evil We are grow
ing in wealth as no people ever did be-
fore. Since 1866 our population has
doubled and our wealth has quadrupled.
Since 1880 the number of people in
gainful occupations has increased twice

wealth is not surely the peril of a
few. corrupt the multitude unless
the heart of the nation is sound.
II believe the heart of the nation is
spendidly sound
1--WE need the dreamer. In the days
of SamuePs boyhood in the Tabernacle
society was at low ebb because there
was no frequent vision" Only an
idealist could drag Israel up onto a new
level. Then, thank God for the dreamers
who think they can see a righteous
and sober state. You may not agree
with the prohibitionist or the total alb
stainer but do not despise the vision
that leads him to adhere to his work
for temperance.
"There was "a dreamer in Nazareth
who failed to win the approval of the
rich and cultured. Even his brethern
thought him crazy, and his mother be-
lieved him beside himself, yet he was
the Savior of the world. Every addi-
ton to the Temple of Progress must be
reared with the stuff dreams are made
of. Man must be seer before he can

BERKELEY STOCK
HAS TAKEN BOOM
STANF0RD'S SHOWING IS NOT
SATISFACTORY
Prevailing Local Sentiment Favors
California University for Cham
plonshIp as Against the
Blue and Gold

The prevalent sentiment after Satur-
days game was that the Stanford foot
ball team stands but little chance to
prevent Berkeley rolling up a consider
able score when the two teams meet
November IL on the Palo Alto campus
There are others who reason diff
ferently and hold that the Cardinals
have a very even chance against the
California men. Coach Hempel con-
tends that the Indians played one hun
dred per cent better against Stanford
than in the game with Berkeley and
will not concede much of a superiority
to the California men.
The fact is that the Indians exhibited
a far different form in last Saturdays
game than in the previous contest and
Stanford was forced to use every ounce
of Cardinal football strength to pre-
vent the Indians from carrying the ball
across their goal.
The first play of the Stanford men
was broken by the big Indian backs
who, throughout the game, forced the
Cardinal men back from any tenn
porary gain that they swere able to
make past the Sherman forwards.
In one instance, half back Tories
threw Stott back for a loss of ten or
fifteen yards and in lesser measure,
this performance was repeated through
out the game.
Both elevens appeared prepared to
thwart any efforts to be drawn in and
the quarterbacks made the game an
open one from the start.
When Stanford was forced to kick
on their first attempt at gain, they
were content thereafter to punt when
ground was actually needed and the
kicking work did much toward saving
the strength necessary for gaining the
touchdown.
The Stanford line was the weakest
department of the team and even with
the improvement of the Indians. fell
considerably short of the California
strength.
Two weeks remain, however, before
the big northern game and the Stanford
coaches realize the weakness of the
Cardinals more so than before the In
dian game.
The lack of material is the great
drawback of the Stanford squad.

BLOOMINGTON, ILL.,, Oct. 29.-The
