Rcpudiates Bailey's Democracy.
THAT we most earnestly condemn
the dlctatorial course pursued by Sem
ator Bailey In asserting his right to
name the peoples official represen-
tatiyes from governor down to con-
stable In Texas, TO build up and con-
troll political machine, servillty
manned by his henchmen and parti-
sans and that we unequlyocally dis
pute his right TO represent the De-
mocracy OF Texas In our national con-
yention to be held in Denver; that
We repudlate his Democracy, deny
that he Is a representative Texas
Democrat and challenge his right to
speak for us In Democracy's councils
either state or national and declare
that in our opinion to select him as
a delegates to our national conven-
ton would be not only party
calamity fraught with bad precedent
and direful consequences to the
Democratic party, but that to so Sc
lect him as delegate would be
reflection upon the wisdom and in
telllgence OF Texas Democracy.
To Choose Delegate at Large.
THAT we declare our disapproval
Of the action Of the Democratic state
committee, in refusing to submit the
matter OF the selection OF our dele
gates at large to the Democratic vot-
ers OF Texas believing as we do that
the source and repository OF all po-
litical power is in the people, and
that all matters OF Democratic policy
should be first and finally determin-
ed by the individual Democratic vot-
ers of Texas rather than by the ma
nipulators of machine politics"
Bailey Men Enthusiastic.
Even more enthusiastic was the
meeting which filled the county court
room under the leadership OF ]. r.
Bowman. Speeches commentators
OF Senator Bailey and his work for
the state and the Panhandle followed
rapidly from number of citizens
and finally the following brief, but
emphatic, set OF resolutions was
adopted as expressing the sentiments
OF the meeting:
Condemns Anti.BaiIey Move.
1--WE, the Democrats Of Potter
county Texas, in mass meeting as
sembled, having the Interests of Tex
as and the Democratic party at heart.
deplore and condemn the action of
some twenty or twenty-five anti-Bal-
ley Democrats in adopting resolu-
lions condemning our Junior senator,
Hon. Jos. w. Bailey.
Commends Senator Bailey.
"And we further uneuuivocally
condemn the action OF these few anti
BSiley Democrats in esinding dele
gates to the so-called Democratic
convention to be held at Waco on the
9TH day OF March, for the reason that
1t is inexpedient, lnjudlcious and I'M
becoming Democrats to do anything
that will reflect on or hamper the
usefulness or Influence OF Texas

the Democracy Of both state and ma
tion conspicuously and we'll for the
past seventeen years.

the buildings will be set with clusters
and festoons of lights and lights
about the grounds will make them,
not as light as day, but much more
alluring.
By judicious choice and arrange.
ment of trees, shrubbery and plants,
the management will be able to &C.
compllsh very satisfactory effects
this year and within a few months.
But since 1t is the intention OF the
management to make the park per-
manent, much of the work done this
year will be only a beginning and
will grow in beauty and value every
year.
Amusement for Every Visitor.
Besides the strictly amusement
enterprises which are to include
summer theater electric swings, mor.
ry-go-rounds, bump the bun
steeple chase and similar clever de-
vices which return value received
for divers and sundry nickels, the
park will make provision for visitors
who wish simply to rest for an hour
or so or to picnic in the grounds.
There will be nightly band concerts
and there will be special provision
made for picnic parties, little or big.
for club and other social gatherings.
There will be refreshment stands to
display and to supply tempting sum-
mer dellcacies to eat and drink. First
and last and throughout, the park
management insists there shall be
nothing on the grounds at any time
that might bring reproach upon the
park or offense to the most scru.
pulous visitor.
A ctive work on improvements In
the park will begin at once and prep
arations for the enterprises is being
made along all lines. The street
car company is getting ready for
the increased travel that the park
will mean by oJdering additional
summer cars. At present the man
agement expects to get the park
ready for opening about the middle
of May. From that time on, It will
continue until after the Panhandle
fair in the fall.

Sunday was a Red Letter Day for
the Church of the Messiah.

The Church of the Messiah celebrated
last Sunday the fortieth anniversary of
the organization of the parish and the
thirty-6fth anniversary of the dedication
of their church building. At the morn
ing service the scripture and the prayer
were in harmony with the occasion and
the pastor preached an able discourse
from the theme, "Old Paths for New
Men" taking his text from Deut. 20 5,
"And | have led you forty years in the
wilderness: your clothes are not waxen
old upon you, and thy shoe is not waxen
old upon thy foot "
After speaking of the significance of
Gods leadership of the children of Israel
and of the way in which He had led the
people of the St. Johnsbury church, the
pastor came to the historical portion
of his DISCOURSE the greater part of
which here follows:
The men and women who organized
this parish were earnest, hopeful, per-
severing There had been an older Uni
versalist organization at St. Johnsbury
Center, dating from about 1880. This
movement was large and representa-
tive one, numbering many of the first
families among its supporters. A com
modious church was erected. and to a

secrated life of Harry Lawrence Veazey, it
would have justified its existence, and it
must have been pronounced a success.
The brief pastorate of Mr.. Veazey was
succeeded by another. almost as brief,
that of Rev. l. p Quimby. OF
this it is hardly necessary for me to
speak. Mr.. Quimby combined much
ready knowledge of general nature,
with eloquence and enthusiasm. The
pastorate of the present incumbent
began June %, 1901, and has continued
for over six and one-half years, the
second longest in the history of the
parish. OF this period it is not for me
to speak. Suffice it to say it has been
time of hard work among the most de-
lightful people, in the most beautiful
village it has been my lot to know.
At the evening service the pastor sup
plemented his morning address with
some further "reminiscences which he had
gathered during the day. He spoke of
the hourishing Sunday School which
existed at St. Johnsbury Center; and
said that Rev T. R. Spencer began
preaching in this village as early as
1861 and that these services were sus-
pended during the war. He also spoke
of the fact that the Church of the Mes
siah was the first to have the Sunday
School concerts, and paid a notable
tribute to Mrs. B. M. Tillotson for her
part in this work. He spoke of the
active help the ladies gave in furnishing
the church and also gave the names Of
the former members of the choir, many
of whom were the leading singers in st.
Johnsbury in their day. Mrs. Walter
Brockway then sang a solo, the words
and music of which were composed by
Mrs. Hervey Hoyt.
The pastor then read letters from Mrs.
Jenkins of Norwich, Conn, Rev. Costello

SECOND BASE.
The old Way of Playing the Bag
 When Steals Were Attempted.

You've got to. touch 'em to get away with the decisions at second nowadays says Herman Schaefer. "In the old days you only had to make the bluff and the umpire al- ways called 'em out. Nowadays they're safe unless you make a dent in 'em."
 Cub Stricker, for many years with Cleveland, was the best exponent Of the bluff" to touch the base runner at second that the game has ever known, and with the umpire away back behind the catcher, Stricker worked his trick to perfection He always had his catcher instructed to throw the ball about ten feet to the right of second on steal.
 Cub would run in, pick up the ball, make jab at the runner, as he went by, roll the ball to the pitcher and calmly walk back to his position. Nine times out of ten the umpire would call the runner out. Stricker, now old and gray, lives in Philadelphia. AS the years go by," said Cub, "I began to realize what a snap the inhelders had back in my day. Why, didn't put the ball on one out of four of the baso stealers when I was playing second for Cleveland, but I almost always got the decision, didn't I?
 ''It was just a simple case of blufing the umpire. The modern players have forgotten how. I re- member one day in Philadelphia when Harry Stovey of the old Ath- leties, the best base stealer that ever lived, was called out three times at second, and I'll hold up my right | hand to-day and swear that l didn't come within six feet of touching him once.
 If l saw a runner coming down to second in those days I had a way of going over after the ball so as to | bring the runner between myself and the umpire. Then, as got the ball. would reach out my arm, yank it back as if the runner had hurt me, toss the ball in to the pitcher, turn around and walk away. The Tuse aimost always worked"
