RECTOR WATSON
HITS At PURITAN
VIEW OF sunday
La Parish Paper He Defends
Clean Sports on the
Sabbath.
SAYS CATHOLIC CHURCH
TAKES THE RIGHT STAND
Clergyman Strongly Disagrees
with Those Who See Wicked
ness in Sunday Games.

Under tho heading THE Sunday
Question" the Rev. e. A. WATSON. rec
tor of st. Stephens Episcopal Church,
this city, upholds In his church paper,
The Crown, the liberal view of the
Sabbath. He says:
"A distinct stage in the progress of
this issue Is the free use that the Cath
olics of this section land no doubt
elsewhere) are making of Sunday. Not
only do Catholics engage in various
sorts of public recreation and games
on Sunday, but they do so with the
sanction of their priests and of their
church, the official sanction at that.
Thus on Sunday afternoon, September
q, the newspapers inform us that the
knights of Columbus attracted an as
semblage of 10000 people to see their
games and contests at Olympic. Park.
And not a Sunday afternoon goes by
during the warm weather when Cath
ole young men do not engage in SINH
lar affairs on smaller scale. One Sun
day afternoon this summer as 1 was
passing on the trolley through Jersey
- vi so" VA q
Catholic Church of a ball game for
that or the following Sunday.
All this is gall and NORWOOD to
the Protestant Sabbatarians. They not
only hold such use of Sunday to be
wicked, but they would, IL they could,
enforce the obsolete blue laws against
1t. But 1t Is noticeable that they do
not publicly attack the Catholic
church for It's different attitude. They
do so privately; but not a word of pub
lie protest is heard. The Catholic
church is too big and powerful to be
attacked on such an issue.
"In my Judgment, the Catholics are
not only justified, but they are to be
commended, for their encouragement
and patronage of clean sports on Sun
day. They enjo1n on their people to
perform their church y duties in the
morning, and hen they allow for the
afternoon the recreation n refresh
ment that the body stands in as much
need of as the soul does of worship.
Not one in the multitude of ten thou
sand knights and their friends saw or
heard or did aught harmful during
that Sunday afternoon of sport in
Olympic Park. On the contrary, every
BODY went home the better for 1t.
- yrs1t the point is this: Now that the
Catholic church encourages clean,
healthful sports on Sunday, after
church duties nave been attended to
the Puritan restrictions IN the day arc
dead, dead. dead. The good sense OF
society ~ratifes the Catholic, and CON
dennis the Puritan, view of the Sab
BATH"

Walter Frum Narrowly Escapes
Death at Hands Of
Young Martin.
CONTENTS OF A SHOT GUN
Are Emptied at Him and Strike
His Hat and Buggy on
the Highway.

Walter Frum, q member OF the
present grand jury narrowly escaped
death Wednesday morning at the
hands of Reavy Martin, half-witted
son Of Byron Martin. residing near
Meadowbrook. Young Martin is
about 81 years OF age. but has had o
weak mind all his life.
At noon Monday while the Frum
family ate dinner. Martin entered
the dining room at the Frum home
in a rather excited condition and
asked for the key to Smith chapel,
remarking that he intended to kill a
man, who he said vas therein. Mr..
Frum informed him the key was not
there and Martin left. He met lie,
Moore on the place and told him he
intended to get gun and kill Frun
because of his refusal to give him the
key. He told Moore he had $1,000
in money in the church. An hour
later Martin appeared in the neigh
borhood OF Frum's house with u shot
gun. but Moore and another man pre-
vailed upon him to leave.
Although Frum was on the lookout
for the fellow, he did not see him
again until Wednesday morning as
he was driving from home to the city
TO resume his work as a grand juror.
AS he approached the Dexter Smith
home. he saw Martin going into the
woods 100 yards from the public
highway, carrying shot gun. He
had been in the road and If Frum had
been five minutes earlier the two
would have met on. the road, and,
possibly, Frum would have been shot
dead.
AS soon as Martin saw Frum APP
preaching in his buggy, he turned
and yelled and then fired at him. The
load peppered the buggy and Frum's
hat hut did Frum no injury. The
latter then got out of range.
Coming to tn Getty, Mr.. Frum
swore out a warrant in Justice Harry
Gordon's court and Deputy Sheriffs
John NJ. Knox and John G. Lang went
down to arrest Martin.

GRAND JUROR IS SHOT
AT BY AALF-WITTED MAN
PEOPLE FOR TAFT
SAYS MR.. WILLETT
Prominent Platform Lecturer
Here After Tour Of
Central States.

Philip Willett. who formerly re-
sided in Ciarksburg, was in the city
wednesday on his way from Oshkosh,
Wis, where he delivered a lecture,
to his summer home at Mountain
Lake Park, where he will remain
with his family for several days. Mr..
Willett has been on tour of cities
In Wisconsin, Illinois and Ohio where
he delivered his lectures. The tour
was most successful one and he was
greeted by large audiences in every
city. After his stay in Mountain
Lake Park Mr.. Willett will go on an
other lecture tour of the western
states and will be gone until the holt
days. He is booked for every night
from October to Christmas.
Mr.. Willett says that most of the
people are greatly interested in ma
tfonal politics at present. Judging
from the sentiment in the central
states that l visited said Mr.. Will
lett. William Howard Taft will be
the next President of the United
States. From feeling manifested at
the different Chautauqua entertain
ments where have been and from
the platforms where John Sharp VIII
liams, Samuel Gompers. Governor
Hanley, of iowa, and others of ma
.tional prominence have spoken, J.
have no hesitation in saying that the
sentiment of the people is strongly
for Taft. Bryan is regarded as a
good man and is well liked by some
of the Democrats but in some quar-
tiers he is regarded as an unknown
quantity as to administrative ability
and this will no doubt turn many of
his old supporters into the Taft
line"

Regardless OF ali the care than can
be taken by them. newspapers, es-
pecially in campaign times. are i'm
posed upon by correspondents seek-
ing to vent their personal spite ana
III will toward some one at the ex-
pense of the newspaper. We find
that the Telegram was so imposed

whereby there appeared in our issue
of Friday SEPTEMBER 4, under the
head OF Rotten Work Is Shown Up"
an article which we regret was not

From information furnished the
Telegram from Barbour county after
the publication OF the article, we
must conclude that.i was both Inn
pertinent and wholly incorrect, in
deed, false, rejecting as 1t did upon
Judge Dayton and A. d. Ballah. So
far as Judge Dayton Is concerned n
Is hardly necessary (for his reputa-
'tion is SO we'll known) for US to say
that the imputations contained in
that article to the effect that In any
OF his campaigns at Horton or else
where he used whiskey or money cor
ruptly or knowingly allowed It to be
used are undoubtedly wholly false
But so far as Mr.. Ballah Is CONCERN
ed, not SO well known, the article was
calculated to do great Injustice. We
pow take pleasure in saying that Mr..
Ballah is one of the leading business
men of Philippi universally esteemed
and respected and that the reflections
upon his moral conduct were wholly
unwarranted. in short, the Telegram
was imposed upon and frankly ad-
mits it.

Does Charles W. swisher,
Again Proving His Homes
ty and Loyalty.
WILL STAND. BY HIS PARTY
And Garry Out Wishes Of the
Majority by Remaining
the Nominee.

Secretary of the Republican State
Committee Virgil L. Highland, who
Is in charge OF headquarters here
during the absence OF State Chair
man s. v. Matthews, and Hon. C. w.
Swisher in the east. issued the follow
ing statement to the state press to-
day:
Mr.. Swisher has not Withdrawn,
nor will he. He has met the propo-
sitions made iby the ticket splitters
that were Of sufficient Importance to
demand answer from a loyal, regu-
lar party man, who holds Republican
triumph at the polls above the selfish
considerations OF personal ambition.
They charged, first. that Mr..
Swisher's objections to the presiden-
tial electors being placed on their
ticket placed West Virginia's electoral
vote in jeouardy and that he took
this stand because he held his own
interests above those of his party.
His answer to this was telegram to
the subcommittee of the national
committee in New York that he had
no objections to Taft electors, con-
gressmen, legislative or other candi-
dates going on. any other ticket.
Second Charge Refuted.
Their second charge was that he
would not withdraw II a man OF the
caliber of Judge Nathan Goff would
take the nomination and unite the
party. They proposed that swisher
withdraw and scherr would eliminate
himself. and Judge Cor should be-
handed the party standard. They
announce as fact, prior to the
meeting of the subcommittee in New
York and before that meeting, that
they had every definite assurance
that Judge Goff would accept. Here
again they challenged Mr.. Swishe, s
party patriotism. His answer was
that he would cheerfully sacrifice ALL
that he had achieved. brush aside a
nomination honestly. honorably and
regularly won, hand over the stand
ard placed in his hands by a majority
OF the regularly constituted dele
gates, and step aside for Judge Cor.
He accepted their proposition fair ard
square. He had no knowledge thatl
Judge Gotf would not accept. They
had stated in New York that he
would.
Stays in the Race.
"Mr. Swisher remains in the race,
the regular nominee of regular par
ty convention. He has met his OPP
on their own terms aud
proved his observation-disclosures, un-
selffshness ana high party patriotism.
The subcommittee tomorrow, be-
lieve, will recognize him as the regu-
lar nominee and the national commit
tee will give the Republican state
ticket every assurance. The one
thing he has striven for in this con.
tention from the first was for regn-
larity; that no plan to wreck the
superb party organization in West
built up after years of hard
and patient struggle. should be given
official approval by the high tribunals
OF the party. In short, that no
premium be placed on disloyalty, nor
invitation given to prosecute boiling
and party wrecking in the present
or those to come in future
years."
