CROSBY HIGH WON.
Had Ansonia Badly Whipped When
 Visitors Quit the Field.

Crosby High easily took Ansonia High into camp Saturday at State league grounds, defeating the eleven representing that school by the score of 12 to 6. Ansonia was outclassed and left the field in the second half when there were less than two min utes of playing time left. Waterbury got the ball on a tumble and when the referee did not award the ball to Ansonia. Umpire Hotchkiss, who is a professor in the Ansonia high school, called his team of the field.
 Ansonia scored first, getting a touchdown on the first play she tried after receiving the ball. On a de- layed pass Minor went through Wa terbury's right wing for run of about seventy-flve yards. After that the team from down the line had not the ghost of a chance of scoring.
 Crosby, on the other hand, seemed to get stronger as the game proceed l ed and would have made much big ger score if the game was longer. After Ansonia made the touchdown l Crosby received the ball on the kick of and carried 1t the length of the field, Freney being pushed over for the touchdown. He also kicked the goal.
 l In the second half Waterbury went down the field in whirlwind fashion Freney. Butler, Hackett and Trac! making big gains. going through tht holes made by the linemen. Crosby after eight minutes of play made an other tally, Butler carrying the bal over. Freney again kicked goal.

SICK AND TIRED.

Senator Cockrell of Missouri, is an
old man. He was born In 1884, and is
now seventy-two years old, an age
when most men find their faculties
failing and their desire for rest over
towering. Senator Cockrelrs appoint

Of his venerable years. None criticised
his honesty or earnesrness.
It remained for the, old senator to
when he broke out the, other day dur
ing the Standard Oil investigation in
Missouri:
I am tired and sick of this effort
made by Standard OH people to con-
ceal this fact when every man. woman
and child knows it is so. Now every
body wants the truth told here, and
why don't you tell it? Every tub
ought to stand upon its own bottom,
and you folks ought not to dodge this
question further
Cockrell is the kind of man needed
in Investigations. Men who propose
to get at the facts ard publish them
without concealment. The country is
..sick and tired. of being robbed and
defied by corporations. Every man,
woman and child knows it is so.
Every man who knows anything knows
that Investigations have been for the
most part farces and failures. The
average committee OF investigation
has been appointed not for what it
might discover. but for the purpose Of
not discovering too much. And the
country is sick and tired

leading democrats standing for popular
rights with the republicans who hold
to the square deal. where. will the /
Aldrichs and Blythes lead the republi- |

The introduced bill to prevent Sun
day base ball, has stirred up more
feeling among the younger voters than
anything proposed during this legisla-
ture. Not to discuss here the ques-
ton on its merits, this fact stands
out--a large percentage Of our citi-
zens claim the right to have Sunday
base ball. Sunday theaters. in word
Sunday amusements. They claim it
not as favor, but as right Say
they do not interfere with the crowd
that enjoys Sunday some other way.
Claim they do not interfere with 9TH
ers' right to have Puritan Sunday
because their games are no more
noisy than a camp meeting, or a cha
tauqua gathering where concerts are
given and admission charged. On the
other hand the ministers and church
going people are organizing to prevent
this continued (to them) Sabbath des-
ceration They too, claim a right, and
that is, of Sunday observance befitting
Christian nation. It's one of the
vexing questions of the day, and its
settlement like that of the prohibi
ton question, law or no law
will finally resolve itself into one of
local option. It'll be long time be-
fore Grinnell has Sunday game Of
base ball. and If any law passed, by this
legislature prevents Sunday base ball
this coming season in Sioux City or
Dubuque it will be news to many.
Meanwhile any law passed allowing
one kind of amusement or recreation.
on Sunday and prohibiting other
forms, will be sure to destroy the po-
ltical aspirations of some of the mem
bers of this legislature. They'll be
damned If they do, and be damned If
they don't"

Lo0KER.ON IN IOWA +


Nevada, March 16.-The following
extract from one Of the able editorials
OF the Register and Leader, has re-
ceived much favorable comment:
Another word from the Register and
Leader the delegation in Washington
will do well to heed, and that is that
if the impression gets firm footing
that there is a plan on the part of the
Washington officials to name the next
governor of Iowa there will be shak-
ing among the dry bones in more than
one congressional district The people

The people have never yet delegated
the matter of choosing their governors

not likely to begin to do so this year"

entered into a plan for this sort Of
preaching, the test of its practical eff
ficiency being limited to series of foul
| sermons upon sociological themes.
These pastors meet together for
study and the preparation of Their
sermons, which will be the product OF
four minds instead of one. While
these sermons will be constructed
upon lines of thought wrought out in
common they will yet bear the stamp
of individual treatment. Each pastor
| is to preach at the same time upon the
| special theme for that occasion. 1t re-
mains to be seen what actual results
will be secured by this method. but it
| is certain that the plan is happy one
and exceedingly suggestive of prac-
teal treatment of trying social
problems. 1t is a new field of enter
prise which may at least be entered
Especially does the plan commend
itself to the consideration of pastors
and suggest original and new methods
by which preachers of various denom-
nations, as well as those of any single
denomination, may do some helpful ex-
perinlenting. In any place where there
are n number of churches of different
faiths the pastors might profitably follow
some plan similar to that of the Chi-
cago pastors in their social reform
work or in labors for the moral uplist
of the community. In cities where
there are two or more churches of the
same denomination what saving OF
strength and time the observance of
some similar cooperative method
might prove to the pastors. Doctrinal
teaching, special courses of instruc-
ton or subjects of general denomlna-
tional interest might be effectively pre-
scented by some such exchange as
this.
EFF a pastor has spent much tune
and thought upon the preparation OF
special sermon or course OF sermons, or
has a special message of Importance to
Christians there can be no reason why
he should have his message confined
tn a single congregation or a single
hearing. A more frequent exchange
among pastors would not only give
congregations variety and new points
of view of truth, but, what is OF even
greater Importance, would afford the
pastor more time for the preparation
of better sermons. One great sermon
preached to two congregations on sun
day is preferable to two mediocre SER
mons preached to the same congrega-
tions nv one over worked pastor.
with all the demands made upon
rho nastor he is required to prepare |
too many sermons. If a pastor is in
his own pulpit each Sunday morning |
the church could scarcely suffer In it's
work If at least twice each month the
evening sermon could be preached by
another pastor In exchange. BY this
method some of the best results of the
pastors study could be distributed and
those who have the stronger preachers
for pastors could profitably bear with
a sermon which might not in all re-
spects be so strong as those to which
they were accustomed"

reau OF statistics. These discussions
have presented an analysis of the
trade With each country of Europe by
| principal articles, and when summar-
| lied show that Europe takes more than
| a billion dollars worth of the exports
| from the United States while all other
parts Of the world take a little less
than a half billion dollars worth. In
no year since 1899 has the value of ex-
ports to Europe fallen below one bill
lion dollars. while that to all other
million dollar mark Prior to 1900 the
exports to Europe had never been as
much as one billion dollars in value;
in that year they crossed the billion
dollar line, being i,o40 millions, and
have since that time averaged about
1850 millions per annun,. In 1900 the
exports to all sections of the world
other than Europe were S54 million
dollars in value. but have grown year

millions the growth since 1900 in ex-
ports to the nom European countries
having been proportionately greater
than that to Europe.
On the import side Europe sup
plies. as already indicated, about one
half of the merchandise brought into
the United States Prior to 1890 the
share of the imports drawn from
Europe averaged about IS per cent
after 1890 the average was little
more than so per cent; in 1905 it was
4S.4 per cent. This reduction in the
of the imports drawn from
Europe is apparently accounted for by
the growing demand in the United
States for tropical and subtropical
products which are supplied almost
by the other grand divf- |
sions of the world.
The trade of the United States with |
Europe is composed on the import side |
chiefly of manufactures and materials |
for use in manufacturing; on the ex-
port side of food stuffs. manufactur-
ers' materials, and manufactures.
OF the 1,021 million dollars worth of I
sent to Europe in 1905,
239 millions was manufactures, the
other 7S2 million dollars worth being
argely food stuffs and manufacturers
materials. With the growing tendency
If our steadily increasing population
he food stuffs produced in the United
States. and to increase the consump-
ion by our own factories, the supply
which can be spared for Europe is
decreasing rather than increasing, and
ls a consequence the percentage of ex-
,ors sent to Europe is slowly decreas-
ng.
Prior to 1887 the share of our total
.Nponts sent to Europe was over so

Ige has gradually fallen off until it

which the exports are chiefly manu-
actures shows an increased percent
