PT|STS TO
BUILD SOON

Boyer & Jenkins have been award
ed the architectural contract for the
new $4,000 Baptist church, which
is to be built this fall in this city.
Plans We're submitted by several
firms in western Colorado. and the
choice of these were selected. The
new church will be classic from an
architectural standpoint and will be
credit to the city.
Some time ago The Sentinel pub
lished the results of the campaign
which was instituted to raise funds
for the erection of the church. and
the fact that the plans are under
way means that the building of the
church is an assured fact and that
the work will be rushed along.

THE DUMBEsT EVER

From the Philadelphia RECORD.
The man who sat the limb of a
tree and then sawed the limb off between
him and the trunk has long been held
up to the public as the most ignorant
of the human species, but Robert e.
Difenderfer, candidate for Congress
against Irwin Wanger in the Eighth
congressional district tells of a man in
Snyder county whose name should be
placed on the roll of fame along with
that of the original of the tree-cuttins
story. Difenderfer, whose natal baili-
wick is Union county, next door to Sny-
der, in telling about his old home the
other day, said:
81 had a neighbor who was so dumb
that after having put up the posts and
rails for picket fence, he sawed off
the sharpened ends of the palings when
he found they were too long. The man
did not realize that if he cut off the
blunt ends of the pickets he would have
saved himself work He sawed away
the shapened ends of the pickets and
then spent day in putting sharp points
on the pailings again, and never real
lied that he had actually wasted all that
time Now we think we are bright and
perhaps we are, but the fellow who did
that trick has amassed a fortune and

President Taft and the Ballinger Matter

President Taft seems to be more sensi-
tive to criticism than his general appear
ance indicates. He looks impervious to
attacks and yet he is quickly and acutely
affected whenever any reference to the
Ballinger feature of his administration Is
made Congressman Francis Burton Har-
rison, a New York democrat. had offered
a resolution calling upon Attorney Cen
eral Wickersham for full information as
to the connection of his office with the
Ballinger- Pinchot episode. The back-dat-
ing of the Attorney Generals summary of
the CLAWS charges against Ballinger is
the sore point in the case. The resolution
was wholly within the customary prov
ince of a member of the opposition party.
and vet when Mr.. Harrison and Mr.. Gold
fogle went to the White House to intro
duce a number of Jewish rabbis who de-
sired to discuss with the President the
expulsion of Jews from Russia, Mr. Harri-
son was turned back.
The Presidents want of tact Is equal to
his excess of susceptibility. Mr.. Harrison
was wholly in the right as a member of
| the opposition when he desired fuller in
formation concerning the manipulation of
public documents in the notorious Bal
linger matter, and the President was
wholly in the wrong when as the nations
chief executive officer he snubbed him.
Mr.. Harrison returned at once to the
canitol where in a short statement he pre-
sented the entire matter plainly and dis
tinctly. IF every one,' he said, who
is Justly criticizing the Taft administra-
ton is to be barred from the White
Rouse IT will become lonely place. The
incident will no doubt rekindle criticism
of the administration in insurgent and
democratic circles during the remainder
of the congressional session.

THE IMPRESSIVE KAISER

From the Boston Transcript.
Prince Louis of Battenberg walked be-
fore the party of kings who mourned the
death of England's king. Behind him
rode King George-not altogether kingly
in appearance, yet with a courageous
look in his eye as of one who is deter
mined to do his uttermost. On his right
hand rode the Kaiser. Nine years ago.
when Queen Victoria was drawn to her
long rest and the King who today lay
silent and cold on the gun carriage rode
with the Kaiser on his right hand, ]
thought then I had never seen man
whose personality seemed the very ner-
sonification of kingliness. He dominated
the procession. Today, again, he caught
the eye above all others. He looked
grayer and older today, but he still sat
his horse erect, like a monarch, and
his eyes were set straight before him,
as soldiers should be.

Quoted in "Recollections of a Varied

On the train, as I journeyed to New

Little Breeches." The thing was done
merely for my own amusement, without
the smallest thought of print. But when
| showed 1t to Whitelaw Reid he seized
the manuscript and published it in the
tribune. By that time the lit and swing
of the Pike county ballad had taken pos
session of me. l was filled with the Pike
county spirit, as it were. and the humor-
Gus side of my mind was entertained by
its rich possibilities. Within week after
print all the Pike county ballads were
written. After that the impulse was COM
pletely gone from me. : There were
no more Pike county ballads in me, and
there never have been any since. Let me
tell you a queer thing about that. From
the hour when the last of the ballads was
written until now I have never been able
to feel that they were mine, that my mind
had anything to 90 with their creation or
that they bore any trace of kinship to my
thought or my intellectual impulses.

New Wing AT 81. Ylncent'S

The breaking of ground for the east
wing of St Vincent's hospital is an event
of no small Importance to this district.
This wing will give the hospital space
that has long been needed, and it will
render the hospital one of the most
spacious in this country.
The work that the Sisters of Charity
do year in and year out at st. Vincent S
in this busy city is simply more than
any pen can adequately express.
When person is stricken down desire
to be carried to the hospital conducted by
the Sisters comes naturally to mind, and
this feeling has gone on increasing until
another wing is imperatively demanded
AS ground was yesterday broken for this
wing, no doubt the work will be carried
to completion rapidly.
The Sisters propose to give $4,000 to-
ward the cost of the east wing, and the
people of this city are subscribing for
as much more. A small additional sum
of the popular half of the cost of the
wing remains unsubscribed for, and it Is
believed this sum, about $4,000 will be
quickly furnished when the deficiency be-
comes generally known among the people
of this valley and district.

DANGEROUS Mines TO Be Closed

The effort of Governor Conner and OF
Chief Mine Inspector Hillhouse to stop
the working of dangerous mines is
praiseworthy. and will surely be upheld
BY public sentiment. The disasters of
Mulga and Palos certainly call for ac-
ton on the part of the executive de-
partment and Governor Conner says this
action shall be given full force and ef-
feet
Chief Inspector Hillhouse is now in
position to weed out the features that
are dangerous to the lives of miners in
this state. He can bar out dynamite
and bring in permissible explosives"
he can induce operators to sprinkle all
mines afflicted with the dust problem,
and he can minimize the presence OF
fredamp.
But beyond all he can do are safe
guards that have been applied in Other
countries, and these safeguards should
be well thought out by the chief mine
Inspector and his assistants with a view
to the preparation of a new mining meas
ure to be laid before the next legisla.
ture. Mulga and Palos demand a new
law of that nature.

CLARA MORRIS

From the Washington Post.
Like Fanny Ferns, the career of Clara
Morris was peculiar. Each went up like
rocket and came down like a stick.
At one time in her career Fanny Fern
was very nearly the most popular writer
in the country She was bright, piquant,
frank-almost racy-and her consult
uencv was immense Robert Bonner
enga ged her services for the New York
Ledger, and thus spread her fame from
ocean to ocean but her powers waned,
her popularity declined, and she was al
most forgot ere she died.
And SO with Clara Morris. Thirty
years ago she was a world wonder
Men and women of genius and place
raved over her Season after season all
New York was at her feet. She was the
greatest emotional actress who ever
spoke the English tongue, and In some
of her roles she caused torrents OF
tears to flow. Strong men sobbed and
robust women tainted at her pictures OF
a broken heart, hopeless and peaceless.
She was no such genius as Sarah Bern
hardt: she could not thrill her audience
as did that wonderful woman, but she
could melt her audience as no other
actress of whom we have account was
able to do.
In those days Clare Morris was as
popular as Mary Anderson. She was
rated as a national asset. standing
room only" was displayed at her every
performance everywhere she played;
but unfortunately her health failed,
and her powers failed with 1t. Only a
few years ago this once famous and
wonderful woman accepted minor part
in a rather poor play and made the
season with the company-she that had
been of the very elite of the front rank
of noble profession only score
of years earlier.
But the theatregoers of 30 years ago
will hold her in fond remembrance to
their dying day, and their hearts go out
to her laden with sympathy in this her
hour of affliction.

toric families of New England. In 1878
Miss French sent her first story to Lip
pincott's Magazine. which the editor
accepted and for which he sent her a
check for s42. This was "A Commun

itself to neutrality-suspicious., This fac
