Preachers and Editors.

A preacher came at newspaper
man in this way: You editors do
not tell the truth. If you did you
could not live; your newspapers would
be failure The editor replied:
You are right, and the minister who
will at all times and under all cir
cumstances tell the whole truth about
his members, alive or dead, will not
occupy his pulpit more than one Sun
day, and then he will find it necess-
airy to leave town in hurry. The
press and the pulpit go hand and
hand with whitewash brushes and
pleasant words, magnifying little viz
tues into big ones. The pulpit, the
pen, and the grave stone are the great
saint-making triumviratcs. And
the great minister went away looking
very thoughtful, while the editor
turned to his work, and told of the
unsurpassing beauty of the bride,
while in fact she was as homely as a
mud fence.-Ex.

[CoMMUNICATED.]
The "Bell Sleeps" Reply.

The "Bell Sleeps" Reply.
"Chairman" wishes to acknowledge
having read the communication signed by
tx" in the last issue of THE CLARION,
and to say that he was very much anus
ed by the same. 1t not only shows that
someone has gotten themselves in very
embarrassing position for which "X' is
trying to offer some defense, but it also
makes three false charges which it is my
pleasure to correct.
Chairman" wished to have full con-
troll and thus became honored with the
title of "Bell Sheep" simply because as
chairman of the picnic committee, he
! wished to see every feature Of the picnic
a success and as had been admitted by
one of the baseball officials, the manager
Of the baseball team could not have been
depended on to furnish the game desired.
True it is that because Of these circum-
stances the matter of control was solicit
ed and after it was freely given, what
right l demand had any outside party to
interfere, it being understood that the
game was thoroughly independent Of any
series then being played?
The lineup as originally made by the
captain Of the baseball team placed
Chairman" on first base, and that posi-
ton he would have played but for his re-
tirement alone through courtesy to Little
and Fraley that both might get in the
game, the latter having been uncertain
about his being able to play until few
minutes before the game was called Let
it be added right here that pitcher Reed
did not request any change at first base,
and tx" must either have been misin-
formed or have gotten his bases slightly
mixed, the demand having been made for
a change at second.
tx" now claims that the baseball Off
Gals interfered simply because they wish
ed to see the strongest lineup possible
and not because they wished to see Thur
mont defeated, and yet the very man "a
baseball official at that who interfered
afterward openly admitted to me that he
was sorry Thurmont had won. Now, my
dear Mr.. "X", do you consider your ex-
cuse for interference plausible one?
The writer ia usually not disposed to
take much stock in anonymous commune
cations, but this one is 80 weak in its at
tempted defense that he cannot help call
attention to it's incorrect and illogical ar
guments. If tx" and the man who in
terfered think their defense good one
and have the courage of their convictions
to make their identity known in the next
issue of THE CLARION, perhaps those in
terested in this question will be still more
greatly amused.
Chairman" in his first communication
had no intention of raising controversy
and with the realization that for the good
of THE CLARION, the baseball season of
1908 and all concerned, the sooner the
matter is dropped the better, will close
the case so far as he is concerned. He
has given the true and correct points of
the case and any other communications
from 'X'' or any other person on this
subject will be but their efforts to free
themselves from the cobweb in which
they have become entangled.

Fall From Ladder

Mr.. John J. Martin, son Of Mrs. Jennie
Martin of this place, who is q machnist
working for the Lands Ma hire Colnpa-
ny, Waynesboro, had very bad fall last
week in the sh, rs while oiling counter
shaft about twelve feet from the floor.
The ladder Was armed with iron points,
in spite of which it slipped on the floor
falling with Mr.. Martin. He fell on his
back across the ladder and also struck
with his foot so that he sprained the right
ankle very severely. TIE greatest pain
ut first appeared to be in his back and it
was feared that serious injury might
have been to that part Of his body on &C
count of falling on the ladder. The doc
tor found that the muscles and tissues of
of the back were severely bruised but no
bones We're injured. He was very lucky
under the circumstances to escape bro
ken back and is now getting along as
we'll as can be expected.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
(FRoM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT. J

lFROM OUH REGULAR CORRESPONDENT.
WASHINGTON, D. c., SEPT. 2STH
The presidents return has had its
usual effect of producing a great a.
mount OF news in the national capital
and the busy correspondents have had
all they could do in putting the facts
into readable form and getting the
news onto the wires, while the tele-
graph companies have been almost
swamped. The President will re-
main in Washington altogether four
days, but during that time he will
work with his usual energy and from
time to time he will take the news
papermen into his confidence and fill
them full OF his plans and of COM
ments on the state of the nation,
while statesmen from all quarters will
seize upon the occasion to visit the
White House.
Almost the first act of the Execu-
tive on his return was to summon the
Attorney General and review with
him the Oklahoma constitution. Then
he announced that when the proper
time came he would formally an
nounce his approval of that instru-
ment which is the last act necessary
to the creation of the new state.
Personally, Mr.. Roosevelt thoroughly
disapproved of the constitution and
he has made it plain to his friends
that he entirely sympathizes with the
views of Secretary Taft on the sub
iect, but after looking into the enab-
ling act he found that Congress con-
ferred on him discretion to ascertain
only Cd that the constitution sub

Correspondent tx" who rises to ex-
plain matters for baseball officialdom, in
forms US that the managers only butted
in the game of Saturday, the 18th when
Thurmont so overwhelmingly defeated
the strong Lewistown team, because
their sole wish and desire was to have a
lineup that would eliminate the POSSIBLE
ity Of defeat. They were little late
however, and the lineup was arranged
without their assistance. The game was
won, hands down. The smoke of the af-
fray had scarcely cleared before some Of
the baseball officials could be heard pro-
claiming from the fourfpoints Of the COM
pass their displeasure at the result and
would rather have seen Lewistown win
the game. Consistency, where art thou?

United had been adopted by major
ity of the people of the proposed
state, (2) that it would insure to the
people q government republican in
form 60 that the constitution con-
formed to the provisions Of the enab-
ling Cor Statehood) act. A careful
examination of the instrument has
satisfied the President that these con-
ditions are complied with and as q
result Oklahoma will send five Rep
resentatives and two Senators to
Washington in time for the conven-
ing of Congress. A new star will be
added to every national flag used
officially and on July 4, next, the
national salute as fired at every mill
tary post and on every naval vessel
will consist of forty-six instead OF
forty-fve guns, as heretofore.
Having disposed of the Oklahoma
problem, the President sent for the
Secretary of the Navy and took up
with him the question of employing
American vessels to transport the coal
which will be needed by the fleet on
it's cruise to the Pacific. A total OF
1873, 900 tons are needed of which 3d.
600 will be transferred to the battle
ship and cruiser bunkers en- route or
in South American ports and O,OOO
dumped on the docks at San Fran
cisco. The latter sum the American
vessel owners claim the right to carry
under the coastwise laws which forbid
the employment of foreign vessels for
the transportation of passengers or
freight from one American port to
another. The President docs not be-
lievc that the law applies to supplies
for the army or the navy and MAIN
tains that unless the American ship
owners make reasonable prices he is
warranted in employing foreigners.
He does not, however, regard an OK
cess of, say, $1,000 on the 10000
tons rs excessive and the present in
dications are that if the Americans
will get together and insure the gov
eminent against an excess cost OF
more than 500, 900, or total Of
$4SO,OOO for the 10000 tons, they
will get the business.
In between times, the President
has found time to entertain small
party of politicians, including the
Republican national committeeman
from New York and the national
committeeman from Connecticut, the
Episcopal Bishop of London who
stayed at the White House over night,
and to receive and chat with forty
newspaper correspondents, your own
correspondent among the number, all
eager for news. The President ap-
peared to be in the best of health and
spirits as enthusiastic as boy about
his prospective hunting trip, but he
was more reticent than usual with
regard to news, although he told an
excellent story regarding the achiev-
ments of his youngest son, Quentin,
and several members of Congress to
whom Quentin exhibited his collect
ion of pet snakes, including three of
the garter variety and one large king
snake. From the Presidents account
the Congressman, who included Rep
rcsentativc Hepburn and Major Lacey
and ex-member from Iowa, were
somewhat taken aback and were dis
posed to climb on the cabinet table
when they found that Quentin's pets
were real live snakes and not rubber
limitations, but the little boy Gained
their fear and they at least gave fine
imitation of bravery after the first
few minutes.
