Want Roosevelt for Another Term.
There is no excitement over politics in
my state,' said Senator Piles of Washing
ton, but there is not the slightest ques-
ton that the majority of the republicans
of the state want President Roosevelt for
another term. Personally, l have believed
the President would not accept another
nom m:nation but most of the members of
nv party are not willing to think OF
selecting some other man until they have
had opportunity to demand that the Pres
dent run again" Senator Piles reached
Washington last night, and called upon
the President today to pay his respects.

did not talk with the President on this
subject" said DR. Bristol but L have
made objection to the Navy Department.
There is no reason why Gods day should
be set aside for base ball for enlisted
men of the navy or army. GIVE them
some other day in the week: The perm s
sion 10 men to disregard Sunday in this
way is certain TO be demoraiZing. Many
of them were brought UP to think of Sun
DAY with reverence. but If they are per
a,itted to make 1t holiday. by sanction
Of the government, the effect Will be any
thing but good. There is little enough
religious spirit in the army ana navy
now, and this new sanction for Sunday
dcsecration will not be encouraging to the
cilapiains Of the army and navy in their
efforts for good 1t requires all they can
do now to make headway among the
men
1t is expected that Christian organiza-
tons throughout the country will make
emphatic protest against allowing en-
listed men the privileges of base ball on
government reservations.
