One of the chief factors in the way
of this enterprise and many others of

freight rates which the railroads give

era of the open country and the coun-

has it's place. place which it will con-

can it much longer attract the flower

THE POLICEMAN IN CHURCH
Sight Ct Uniformed Official Seems to
Get on the Nerves OF the
Worshipers.

Did you ever see a uniformed po-
llceman in church," asked the gray
headed man. Did you notice the ef'
feet he has on the congregation?
There is psychological problem
worth investigating.
There was a policeman in our
church Sunday morning. AS conse-
quence every one had fit of nerves.
1t wasn't the policeman's fault He
didn't do anything, not in an official
capacity, that is. He didn't come as
policeman, but as a worshiper who
wanted to say a prayer the same as
anybody else. His attitude, mental
and physical, was wholly devout. He
sat in an inconspicuous pew in the
rear Of the church where he could be
seen by a few, but in less than five
minutes the knowledge that he was
there was flashed from pew to pew
and everybody began to fidget. They
wondered what he wanted. Somehow
1t never occurred to anyone that he
was a seeker after spiritual light.
They imagined that he had come to
arrest somebody, and they were Curl
GUS to see who 1t could be. That con-
gregation, l take it, was law-abiding
body of people, from the pastor down
to the most mischievous choir boy.
yet everybody suspected everybody
else Of wrong doing. The pastor got
nervous and mixed the pages Of his
manuscript, the choir sang out Of
tune. an usher dropped the money
box.
Even after the service was over
and the policeman had gone awas'
without taking anybody prisoner, 1t
was funny to watch the crowd. They
separated into little groups, and each
little group eyed some other little
group suspiciously and whispered mys.
teriously. That, find, is the usual
attitude Of a church audience toward
\ policeman. At fire. at a theater,
at . department store. at a prize fight

cited over him, but just let him 60 to

MISREPRESENTATION
Special to The Nescs.

Special to The Nescs.
New York, Jan. 3.-Veterans of the
blue and the gray armies as well as
thousands of descendants of the men
who fought for freedom in the days
of the revolution have to-day been
mustered into the ranks Of the George
Washington Memorial Association
that has mapped out here for the new
year a national campaign to build al
the country's capital a $2,5OO,0OO TALL
in honor of the first president. Re-
ports from the headquarters of this
new movement show that many mem
bers of the Grand Army of the Repub-
lie, the United Confederate Veterans
the Daughters of the American Revo-
luton, the United Daughters of the
Confederacy, the Sons of the Amer
lean Revolution, the Society of the
Cincinnati and other patriotic bodies
have volunteered to present to the
people in every part of the country
this opportunity for paying tribute to
the memory of Washington by helping
to give all of the nations learned and
patriotic societies such a headquar-
tiers and auditorium as they have al
ways needed. Within the opening year
the fund required to erect this George
Washington Memorial Hall will be
raised by popular subscription, it is
expected.
To house the precious relics of the
patriotic organizations of the whole
country and to furnish rallying
ground at the capital for all their
members is one of the principal OBJ
jects of the proposed memorial build
ing. Great gatherings on occasions of
historical Significance will for the
time be made possible at Washington,
the leaders of such bodies declare,
when the national need for adequate
auditorium facilities is met by this
great structure. In the name of the
first great patriot it is designed to pro
vide this practical means of fostering
the nations pride in its history.
