DOES NOT FAVOR
BENEF|TT|NC DtSERTERS
Local Post G. A. r. Has No
Sympathy for Such.
MANY ARE IN NEED NOW.

Members OF Sol Meredith post, G.
A. r., this city, are not in favor Of the
passage of the bill OF Representative
Mclaughlin of Michigan, which would
remove by law the charge OF the de-
sertion against hundreds of soldiers
who broke from the army and hur-
ried home after Appomattox or the
grand review in Washington. They
left because the war was over, but not
being discharged formally were tech
nically deserters, and cannot be pen
stoned.
Il would have every man who can
show that he was in arms at the time
of Lees surrender given an honorable
discharge" said Representative Nc
Laughlin. 1t is amazing to find how
many men who were with the army at
the close of the war and had share
in the war are deserters. 1t is true
that trouble was threatened with
France because of Mexico, and with
the Indians. But the great war for
which these men had enlisted was end
ed. Many OF them at the time had no
notion Of ever seeking pensions, but
are in need now"

CONTEST WILL Be
WEDNESDAY EVENING
Ear|ham's Representative to
The State Contest Will
Be Chosen Then.
HOELSCHER FIRST SPEAKER
HE WILL BE FOLLOWED BY PEN
NiNGTON, ACkERMAN, HA-
WORTH, WIESNER AND MILES
IN THE ORDER NAMED.

The primary Oratorical contest to
determine the man who will represent
Earlham at the state OratOrical con-
test which will be held at Indianapolis
in February, will be held in the chapel
at Earlham Wednesday, Dec. II, at
D. III. Lester Haworth and Gustave
Hoelscher participated in the primary
at Earlham last year but were beaten
by Walter Miles, who has the last
speech on the program this year. Mr..
Miles was badly beaten in the state
contest, DePauw winning first place.
Earlham has been successful four
times, Luther Feeger, Joseph kenney,
Nellie f. Wood and Gertrude Sim
mons an Indian girl all coming off
with the highest honors. Gustave
Hoelscher has been picked as the win
ner this year and as the judges have
been lessened in number from six to
three. these three taking upon them
selves the deciding on thought and
delivery, it is quite probable that he
will come off with the honors. Mr.
Hoelscher won the state prohibition
contest at DePauw last spring and the
interstate contest held at Ada, Ohio
a month later. He will enter the Nat
ional contest at Columbus, O., next
summer. The program for the pri
mary is as follows:
Music. s-M
The Genius Of the 18th Century
Mr.. Hoelscher
Problem of the American City-Mr
Pennington.

President SharpIess Says that
In Past, Morals Have
Been Improved.
FOOTBALL NOT USURPER.
SAYS THAT FUNCTIONS OF IN
TELLECTUALITY HAVE BEEN
KINDS.

Haverford college, that staid old
Quaker institution near Philadelphia,
TO which Earlham sends scholarship
students yearly, has taken a stand for
athletics as against money.
President Isaac Sharpless, of Hav-
erford who is known to many Rich
mond people, declared in an address
yesterday that in the last twenty-five
years college NOR have improved as
the result of the developme nt of ath-
letics. In his college, he said, foot
ball had not usurped the functions
Of intellectually, bat appeared to
have promoted them.
This declaration closely follows
Swarthmore colleges refusal Of the
81 100000 bequest made with the pro-
viso that athletics must be abolished
there.
Among other things. President
Sharpless said:
We have had at Haverford a most
successful football season. | do not
merely refer to the fact that we won
three-fourths of the games when | say
successful. There are other matters
which go to make uD the count In our
favor which appeal to me more
strongly than that. | think we have
gone through the season showing to
the football world that we are able to
play reputable football here; that we
treat our opponents in a sportsman
like way; that we play games on a
clean and legal basis.
1T is also a satisfaction to me to
note in looking over the marks of the
football men for the quarter. taking
into account TIVE eleven who began the
game with Trinity that only one of
them had an average of less than c.:
only one of them had an excess of

BOYS DOWNFALL
Two Lads, Omer StaIey and
Harry Smith, Have to An
sWer to Charges.
SMITH is CONVICTED
STAlEY BY HIS HONEST CONFESS
SION WINS THE SYMPATHY OF
COURT THREE SMITHS NOW
IN JAIL.

What's the use of you sitting there
Icing against me? I am telling the
Gods truth and the Judge knows it,
asked Omer Staley, a seventeen year
old boy, of his companion, Harry
Smith, aged nineteen years. Both
were seated in the city court this
morning. Smith was charged with
giving liquor to Staley, minor, and
Staley was charged with securing
money by false pretenses with which
that the other lad influenced him to
commit the criminal act, but Smith
denied it. Staley's story was heard,
then Smith denied what his compan-
ion had said
Judge Converse, believed the Staley
boy and suspended judgment on him,
the lad faithfully promising to reform
and make a good citizen of himself.
For giving whiskey TO the other boy
and for influencing him to commit a
criminal act, Judge Converse fined
Smith $50 and costs. which means
sixty days in the county Jail.
Staley lives with his father and
from the boys statements it appears
that the father pays but small atten-
ton to him and allows him to shift
for himself AS a result his associa-
tons have been bad. The lads moth
er is divorced from his father and is
now the wife of an Italian laborer. In
his statement to the court Staley
frankly admitted that he intended to
defraud Charles Greenhoff, a grocery
keeper, Monday before he met Smith.
Staley said that he wrote note to
Greenhoff. asking for IS and to it he
signed his mothers name. After writ
ing this note he lost his nerve
Later he met Smith and the latter
suggested that he secure some money
from Greenhoff with which Smith
could buy some whiskey for both of
them, which Staley said Smith fire.

Urged on by Smith, Staley went to
the Greenhoff grocery. got on the de-
livery wagon and irove of with
Greenhoff After riding about a
block Staley said that he got off the
wagon and ran back to the store He
told the clerk that Greenhoff had sent

the boy the amount he asked for.
Staley then met Smith again and gave
him 70 cents to buy some whiskey,
which Smith did. When arrested ear

That night when In Judean skies

A blind man stirred him In his sleep.
And dreamed him he had sight.
That night. when shepherds heard the

Ofhosts angelic choiring near.
A deaf man stirred In slumber spell
And dreamed him he could hear.
That night, when in the cattle stall
Slept Child and Mother cheek by jowi,
A cripple turned his twisted limb
And dreamed him he was whole.
That night. when DER the newborn BABE
The tender Mary rose TO lean.
A loathsome leper smiled in sleep
And dreamed him he was clean.

A CLASSIC IN ELKDOM.
DR.. Sigel Rousb, Whose Memoria
Eulogy Is Considered a Gem.

The eulogy delivered by DR.. Sige
Roush at the Elks' memorial service
in Rand's Opera House, Troy, N. Y,
Sunday afternoon has occasioned more
favorable comment than any address
delivered in Troy in many years 1t
will probably become classic In Elk
dom and already many requests have
come from the editors of fraternai
publications for copies of the eloquent
effort. The aattering comments are
very pleasing to the brother Elks of
DR.. Roush in this city as they we're
not aware of his ability as an orator.
In ct, many of them doubted If he
would be equal to the occasion. Their
fears, however, we're allayed when he
stepped before the great audience
that was present in the Opera House.
for he was absolutely self.possessed
and spoke in easy and well.modulated
voice. His delivery was very pleasing
and he made no reference whatever
to notes. The DOCTORS splendid effort
will no doubt bring new duties to
him, for he is certain to receive many
invitations to speak where Elks are
wont to herd.
1t now transpires that DR.. Roush
has devoted considerable time to
literary work and his writings have
appeared in magazines and the metro
politan Sunday papers. he is agrad-
uate of the University OF Ohio, a
physician as we'll as dentist and well
versed in many other branches of
knowledge. He holds the chair of
esteemed lea ding knight In the Troy
Lodge of Elks and is prominent in
Masonic circles Utica, IN. Y y Sat
urday Globe. DR.. Roush formerly re.
sided in this city where he practiced
his profession for number of years.
