A FOOLISH PREACHER.

The Rev. DR.. John A. Reynolds of
the Methodist Episcopal Church, South.
is quoted in a dispatch as saying, dur
ing a recent conference of his religious
organization:
4 have been told that it is common
thing for Methodist preachers TO attend
baseball games. For Gods sake, let us
stop this baseball business. Why. | am
told that an Atlanta minister went to
a baseball game and actually so far
forgot himself as to stamp and roll
his hat on the floor and yell himself
hoarse. He did all of this because
somebody had made a lick or some
thing of that kind. And he was
Methodist preacher"
It seems needless to say that the At
lanta preacher who attended the game,
whether he rolled his hat on the floor
and yelled himself hoarse or not, Yields
far greater influence for good than
the preacher who criticized him. The
critic is probably one Of those old
fashioned fellows who believes i'm a
frowning Providence rather than i'm
God of Love. He doubtless breaches
a doctrine that includes the hottest
kind of hades, not only for the unre-
pentant but for those who commit
trihing offenses against his stern code
There is nothing essentially wrong
about any preachers attendance on
baseball game. The game itself is one
of the finest forms of sport we have
1t is our national sport 1t is clean
in the sense that it is honest There
are few better forms of recreatio than
to get into a grandstand and watch a
first-class game of baseball The quick
thought of the contending teams. their
promptness in taking advantage of mis-
plays. the speed with which they catch
or recover the ball and throw it to
bases are all worth the time OF any
man, be he preacher or not.
And. best of all, is the pure. sweet
air. the sunshine. the exercise that an
interested spectator inevitably gets out
of a contest. There should be some
thing I'm the life of preacher besides
the round of parochial calls and the
preparation and delivery of sermons.
The preacher is entitled to his hours

of recreation just as are other men,
And if he uses them IN rational man.
ner he is much more human, much
more able to reach the people he should
want to reach.
The preacher who gets the best re-
suits is the preacher who goes where
men are. who goes out as a man among
men, even laying aside for the time the
badges of his holy calling. We have
such a preacher in mind now. He
never missed a weekday baseball game
that he could conscientiously get to
And he could conscientiously get to q
great many. He mingled i'm other fur
with his people. A more popular
preacher never lived in Salt Lake. MOI
one who did more good.

LICKING HE PAN

Among all the joys of holidays
Since holidays began,

And wait to lick the pan.

Impatient with the making,
Longing to lick the pan.
Cousin Sue and Brother Bill.

All ready at the moment
To grab and lick the pan.
And oh. the scramble We did make.

BREWER ON ROOSEVELT.

During the course of some remarks
addressed to the Civic Forum, a re-
Gently organized New York society,
Justice Brewer of the supreme court
of the United States made several
statements that have been construed as
an attack on the president Friends
of Mr.. Roosevelt have been bitter and
unsparing in their denunciation of the
justice. They seem TO think he was
guilty of lese majestic in presuming

great and good patron, Theodore l.
Among the sections of Justice Brewers
speech that were objected to were:
1T may not be generally known that
the convention that framed the Con-
stitution at first prescribed a presi-
Dental term of seven years. with a
prohibition upon reelection: and only
as the convention was nearing its end
and, so far as the record shows, with
out any discussion or suggestion Of
reason therefor-this was changed in
10 a four years term and without the
ineligibility. In the judgment of men,
among whom I am one, there was
mistake in that change. In the light of
history l think it would have been bet
ter TO have left the presidential term of
seven years with an accompanying IN
eligibility. (Applause.)
If that were the provision we should
not now have the spectacle of our
strenuous president playing a game or
hide and seek with the American peo-
pie" Oaughter)
Continuing, Justice Brewer said il had
been stated that President Roosevelt,
while governor of New York. discov-
cred the ten commandments. He add
ed: Perhaps we shall all yet say of
another governor of this state that he
has done better and has discovered the
Golden Rule" 1t was, in his judgment,
the duty of a chief executive to en-
force the law. but he should not yield
tice Brewer. still doubtless with the
president in mind, discussed party
pledges and obligations. saying:
For instance. even in economic mat
ters questions of governmental polity,
he should never turn his back on the
expressed principles of the party which
elected him. In other words, he never
should take office on an implied prom
Use. Such conduct is political treach-
cry, and a traitor is always despica BILE.
Nor, in respect to new questions which
may arise after his election. may ne
rightfully lead into lines of policy which
he is firmly convinced tend to national
danger. In cases like that duty calls
upon him TO be true to his convictions
at the expense of present popularity"
There will naturally be much specula-
ton as to the pledges Roosevelt has
broken Perhaps Mr.. Hartman felt
that when Mr.. Roosevelt permitted him
to raise a great campaign fund for use
in New York that the acceptance of
the money constituted an implied pledge
that the president would do nothing
against Hartman. Perhaps the great
corporations, the life insurance compa-
nies and others that aided so material
ly. with their contributions, in electing
Mr.. Roosevelt In 1904. felt that they
had an implied pledge OF security.
An analysis OF Justice Brewers
speech, both on the subject of presi-
Dental terms and on other matters,
showed that he spoke nothing but the

wheat is best for a spring wheat

Winter and spring wheat is an
important crop for this locality.
Kherson and Texas Red rust

Other good grains are 6o-day

an opportunity to talk to him con-
corning his trip, but ID. J. Aber,
who accompanied him, was seen
and spoke of the trip as follows:
1t was Prof. Tinsley's pleasure
to go into the country for the pur-
pose of meeting with the farmers
and observing the methods of
farming as practiced by them.
The day was a pleasant one of
sunshine and warm breezes.
He selected me as an old-timer
to pilot him around obstacles and
across bogs and to show him the
way back. Being out for business

were very becoming to him.

classic audience that was to greet
him in in the evening at the court
house.
The old timer was not aware of
the fact that he was being pumped,
so adroitly was the handle worked,
as they jollied along discussing the
nature of the soil on this side and
on that side, and the manner in
which it was being titled, and the
method best suited to its cultiva-
ton, and the best kind of crop to
plant, and the labor it will require,
and the harvest it will produce.
However, the information may
have been obtained is nothing here

Meeting at Court House Thursday
Night Well Attended.
Valuable Informat ton Contain ed
in the Discourse

Prof. J. d. Tinsley soil physi-
cist OF the agricultural college in
Mesilla, spoke to the farmers Of
Quay county at the court house
Thursday night and certainly gave
them much valuable information.
His subject was, How to Farm,
What to Raise and What to Do
With the Crops"
The meeting was under the aus
pices of the Commercial club and
was presided over bv Col. T. w.
Heman. Among the many impor-
tont things discussed the Professor
urged that deep blowing before
seeding and deep seeding is an
absolute necessity, and that shall
low cultivation should follow. His
speech was in part as follows:
The government records do not
indicate that there is or has been
any marked change in climate
through the semi-arid region. They
do indicate that there are alternat-
ing wet and dry periods and that
in the past there have been other
periods about as wet as this through
which we are now passing.
1t is not probable that the Salton
Sea has exercised any influence on
our rainfall. The average rainfall
in this vicinity for a long period
of years is probably about I6 to Io
inches and for the last few years
it has been considerably above
this. Fifteen inches should pro-
duce good crops if the soil is
properly prepared.
The sandy land will probably
not have to be plowed as deeply
as the heavier land, as it is nat
urally in a loose condition. The
heavy land should be plowed deep
and then thoroughly pulverized.
The disc harrow is the best tool
for pulverizing. The land should
not be left turned up rough as 1t is
left by the breaking plow, but
should be pulverized as soon as
possible. The harrow should fol-
low not more than a day behind
the plow, and the best plan is to
harrow down before noon what was

Husband Strikes
Wife'S Death Blow

Waverly, MIMI, June 29.-John
J. Mooney killed his wife with
stick of stove wood at their home
in Waverly yesterday afternoon.
: Moneys story is that he went
home for dinner and found there
was no heal awaiting him. He
asked his wife what was the matter
and she told him he could not have
any dinner. He proceeded to cook
one for himself and told her to
leave the room. This she did but
returned a minute later with a
bread knife with which she cut him
on the wrist.
Mooney was putting a block of
wood in the stove and in an instant
struck her a blow on the head with
the block from which she fell dead.
He gave himself up to Marshal
Krietzeck, and the coroner and
sheriff were sent for.
County Attorney J. J. Wooley
and Coroner Moss held an inquest
and the verdict of the jury was
murder. - ..... --......

THINKING ALOUD.
A Ruse Which Reused Lord Dudley
and Formed a Friendship.

and Formed Friendship.
One Of the earls of Dudley, who was
addicted to the practice of thinking
aloud, found himself in a very awk-
ward predicament on a certain occa-
sion. He was to spend the evening at
the house of friend and ordered his
carriage early, as he had a long drive
back to his own home.
When the hour arrived the carriage
was not forthcoming. Seeing that
Lord Dudley was considerably annoy
ed by the delay, one Of the guests,
whose way homeward lay past his
lordship's house, politely offered him a
seat In his carriage. The gentleman
was almost stranger to Lord Dud-
ley, but the offer was accepted.
The drive did not prove very socia-
BILE one. Lord Dudley took his seat
and immediately relapsed into silence,
bis thoughts apparently engrossed by
some unpleasant subject. Presently he
began to speak in low but distinctly
audible tone of voice, and his compan-
ion, to his establishment, heard him
say:
I'm very sorry accepted his offer.
l don't know the man. It was civil
certainly, but the worst is suppose
must ask him to dinner"
Silence followed this bit of audible
thinking. His lordship was unaware
that he had betrayed his thoughts and
was probably still meditating upon
the same unpleasant subject when the
voice Of his companion broke the still
ness.
Apparently this stranger was afflict-
ed with the same malady from which
his lordshjp suffered, for he exactly
initiated Lord Dudley's tone as he
said:
perhaps he'll think did it to make
his acquaintance. Why, I would have
done the same to any farmer on his
estate. hope he won't ask me to din
ner. for shan't accept his invitation :"
Lord Dudley's abstraction was all
gone. He listened to the others words,
Immediately compromising the joke
against himself and frankly offered
his hand to his companion, making
many apologies for his involuntary
rudeness.
The stranger proved magnanimous,
and from that night the two became
fast friends.
