THE CHURCH IN POLITICS
Rev. Noble Elderkin of Ogden Sees
No Harm, Provided Object to
Be Attained Is Right.

Rev. Noble Elderlxin. pastor of the First
Congregational church, declared positive
ly and unequivOcally in favor of church
interference IN politics IN us sermon to
n'ght 1ir. Elderkin stated thai the
churches ought to interfere in politics ana
that il was considered courageous outside
of Utath, but that in this state II was
condemned. He referred TO the fight be-
ing put up>by the Methodist church in the
east TO defeat Representative Joseph Can
non OF Illinois in account OF his stand
against prohibition.
Our American friends, said Mr.. FL
derkin, say il is wrong in Utah. but
that IL is right out OF Utah. They uphold
the stand taken by the Methodists in IL
linois. but condemn the Mormons for do
ing the same thing in Utah.
He stated that II was just as vicious FOR
the Gentle to vote for a Gentle as for a
Mormon To- vote for a Mormon. or a Con-
SreSatiOlGaliSt to vote for Congregat ton
alist; that it would be just as vicious for
a Congregationalist to vote for Mr.. Gid
con because he Is a ConGrsgationalist as
for the MormonS 10 vote for Mr.. Harris
because he is a Mormon.
He maintained that the church had an
inherent right TO use all the power at its
command in politics. Labor unions. he
said have a right, and lodges as well.
to use their power In like manner.
The wrong of church influence. said
Mr. Elderkin, lies in the selfish motive
behind it, If the church considers any
measure for the benefit of its people il
has a right 10 use its influence in sup
port of that measure"
Mr.. Elderkin said that Thomas Kearns
thought it all right for the church to use
its influence when it was given to him,
but that when il was withdrawn it was
a different story.

handle team properly and that he is too
inclined to lose his temper when things
do not go right. Yet McCloskey is not in
the same class with McCsraw in this re-
spect, and McCloskey has never used the
language or shown his anger as the New
York manager does when things do not
go right So far as running the team
from anLnside baseball standpoint of
view is concerned. McCloskey has been
in precisely the same fix McAleer was up
to last season; he did not have men to
carry out any orders he might give be-
cause the limitations of the men were too

Has Fiery Temper.
There have been stories as TO trouble
between McCloskey and the players al
most since he came to st. Louis. and
there is much truth in them. McClooskey
is not the kind OF a manager TO stand
around and take things quietly when he
sees an Indifferent player or orders dis
oeeyed. and he says pretty much what he
thinks at such times On the other hand.
he has always been good friend to his
players and taken their side Of matters,
even when il would have been more pop
ular for him TO have done otherwise. He
possesses much personal courage and he
never took the trouble to dodge any of
his players who were hunting trouble
even when he knew IL would lead TO
personal battle.
McCloskey marks only one OF a long
line of managers who have had charge of
charge of the team here. McGraw was
one of these and Pat Donovan. Charley
Nichols, Jimmy Burke and several others
have at one time OF another had charge
of the team for shorter or longer periods
of time.

from that time we hauled off ana

Hot Scotch in Picking.

According to all accounts the arrival
Of the Cameron highlanders in Picking
to replace the Middlesex regiment as
legation guards created something OF
a sensation among the Inhabitants. The
China Times asserts that the natives
are hard at work trying to assimilate
the Scotch language. They are reported
as already making favorable prog
ress. Instead of their favorite express
sion, "Me ma savvy," they now en-
ploy 81 dinna ken" and they greet the

is added that some Chinese compra-

of mind, want to know What for new
