Folk Announces Issues
Upon Which He Proposes
To Run For President

1.-THE great issue before the people
of this country is, shall there be gov
ernment by privilege for class OF
governed or government by the people
for all. This is question within
parties as we'll as between parties. The
republican party is dominated by spe-
cial interests and operates with them
upon a prontsharing basis.
I'VE should not be oblivious to tho
fact however that we have Aldriches
and Cannons in our own party, and
II is the duty OF democrats to lessen
tn cir influence as much s possible. We
cannot prevent some of them from be-
ing in the party, but we should keep
them from running the party
"a crisis has been reached in the
affairs of the nation. Pick up news
paper any day and you will find ac-
counts of thievery and graft What
does 1t mean? Is corruption becoming
a national disease? Is there something
in our system of government that en-
courages men to violate the command
ment Thou shalt not steal? Is not
the COVE vnment itself in a large sense
to blame for this seeming general dis
position? Has not the example which
the government sets in enriching a
few by taking from all by means of
the protective tariff been an influence
for corruption?
with the example of the national
government giving privileges to few
til ere is encouragement afforded to all
forms of graft, for all graft is based
upon privileges. Officials are not bribed
to give equal rights to all, but to
confer some privilege upon the few
denied the many. The elimination OF
privilege is the fight confronting DEM
ocracy.
"All political parties ostensibly op-
pose the privilege of lawlessness. but
when 1t comes to. privile ge conferred
by law there is a distinct issue be-
tween the parties The republican party
stands frrevocably for the privilege of
protective tariff. The democratic
party, If true to itself, and its teach
ings, must stand squarely against this
privilege"

Track Practice at St. Peters
nv ROBEnT y. FLYNN

The midget interclass track meet
held by the small boys OF the School
was won by the second grade. The
third grade put up a hard fight for the
Rev. H. Grogan trophy, losing by only
two points. The meet was witnessed
by large crowd Of boys, who appre-
clated the efforts OF the small boys in
running, as they will some day COM
pose the track team of the school.
The tryouts for the team to be en-
tered in the next track meet are over
and nearly all of the runners have been
picked, although none Of the names
has been made public
The events decided upon to be en-
tered in the Sacred Heart indoor meet,
April 20, are the 80 pound relay the
440 yard dash and the $50 yard run.
We are especially strong in the 440,
and we also hope to spring surprise
in the relay
The baseball tournament is not yet
over and we have a few more games
to play, but all the boys are anxious to
turn out a record track team this
spring and baseball is not as interests
ing to our boys as earlier in the season.
Dues are paid monthly by the members
of our athletic association and enough
was collected to pay for the baseball
suits besides defraying the several eX-
penses of the basket ball tournament.

Baseball Events at st. JOseph's
ny WALTON v. GATELY

On Tuesday last the first of series
OF games to determine the winner Of
the G. s. A. L. pennant was played off
at the Ocean Shore grounds.
The opposing teams were st. James,
which captured the championship last
year, and st. Josephs, which has acted
as q setback to the aspirations of many
amateur athletic bodies
The game was rather an impromptu
affair, and consequently the attendance
was meager in comparison to that of
the previous game, when we were de-
feated.
The manner in which the st. Jo-
seph's lads slammed Cole mans benders
and fielded the hits allowed by Doyle
pays high and well deserved tribute to
Skelly, their coach. After the defeat
of week ago Tuesday he took our
nine under his wing, and the boys GER
tainly appreciate the interest he has
shown in their behalf.
The batteries were, for st. Joseph's,
Doyle and Kenney (the latter's spectac-
ular catch of F'itzgerald's foul fly in the
ninth inning being one of the games
features); for st. James, Colman and
Fitzgerald
Our boys opened hostilities in the
second frame, securing four runs, but
our jubilant shouts had not yet died
away before Coleman came to bat in
the fourth with all the stations occu-
pied and coolly raped out four sacker.
Two more runs in the fifth by Car
berry's homer left the score to 4.
Our boys came back again the sixth,
McGovern's four base hit, the third of
the afternoon, bringing in two runs.
In the seventh Collins laid down a
bunt, beat it out and went to second
on a wild throw. Mcguire sacrificed
him to third, and Carberry juggled
Kunsts line drive long enough to let
Dan score with the winning run.

MOTHERS, CLUB
THE STORYOF ECHO AND NARCISSUS

ne got was from Echo, VINO repned,
"Shun me-" rather sadly, for that was
just what she did not want him to
do. Let us join one another" cried
the youth, and Echo, after repeating
the last words haStened joyfully TO the
spot; but seeing young and lovely
nymph where he expected to ind ms
companions, Narcissus started back.
Come not near me-" he said, Il but
seek my companions" He left the spot,
and Echo, ashamed and hurt, shrank
into the recesses of the wood. From
this time On she lived in the mountain
cliffs and caves and rarely came into
view. Finally, through grief, her flesh
faded away, her bones changed INTO
roots, and nothing was left OF the
nymph but her voice, which may al
ways be heard among the mountains by
any one who will speak first; for, as
of old, she is still permitted to have
only the last word
AS for Narcissus. he continued TO
hunt in the mountains, and one day
while doing so he came to the edge or
clear and lonely pool. AS he
stopped over to drink he caught sight
of a face which looked back at him
from the water. Narcissus gazed, de-
lighted, for never had he seen so
lovely a vision. The sparkling eyes,
the clear red of the cheeks and ivory
whiteness of the skin, framed by the
over the shoulders, pleased him, and
he called softly to the vision. He saw
it's lips move as If in reply, but no
sound came. He stretched out his
hands toward it and the image
stretched out his hands to him also.
Suddenly a breeze came and rippled
the surface of the pool and the lovely
vision disappeared. Narcissus sprang,
looking everywhere for it. In an in
stant 1t reappeared and Narcissus
begged it TO speak But 1t would not,
only mocking all that the youth did
in his despair. Finally, as day after
day passed away and the vision still
remained as far off as ever Narcs-
sus, who had neither eaten nor slept
since beholding the beautiful being,
saw it gradually fade, the rosy cheeks
grew pale, the eyes became dim and
it's whole attitude showed great weari-
ness and unhappiness So when, one
day, after gazing at the image in the
wafer many times, Narcissus pined
away with grief and died on the
shore of the lake where he had first
beheld it, he never knew that it
was his own beautiful image which
had so enchained his fancy; but, be-
lieving 1t to be some lovely goddess
had lain down and resigned himself to
death. In the place Nhere he pill
lowed his head in these last sad
hours a flower, with a deep purple
center, surrounded by pure white
leaves. sprang up, and this flower has
been called ever since by his name
Narcissus.

BY LUCY BAKER JEROME

ECHO was lovely nymph, who was
fond of two things-of woodland
- sports, In which she INDUCED freely,
always roaming the woods and fields in
search of pleasure-and of talking. In
fact, she was always talking; so much
so that no matter what any one else
might wish to say it was useless be-
cause Echo's tongue seemed, as we say,
to be hung in the middle, and was
never still.
This last made Juno very angry; for
on several occasions she had been an
noyed by Echos thoughtless Interrupt
tions so the last time Echo put in her
word in some discussion in which Juno
was taking part, Juno became terribly
vexed, and said Now you shall suffer
for this; hereafter you shall never be
able to speak first. However, you may
have the last word. After every one
else has finished his speech, then you
may have your turn"
This made Echo very unhappy, so,
she took her bow and arrows and went
forth into the woods, as was her GUS
tom, to seek what sport she mis- ght find
She had not gone far before she saw
a youth so well formed and Of such
a gracious and joyous countenance that
Echo remained rooted to the spot,
hardly daring to move lest the beauti-
full youth should disappear. When he
finally left the place to rejoin his
companions, who were hunting on the
b mountains, Echo followed and heard
them hail the youth as Narcissus. Aft
er this she followed wherever he
hunted hoping that he would speak
first, since without his voice 1t was
impossible TO make her presence known,
as she was too timid to appear before
him in person.
Echo's chance came one day when
Narcissus in some manner became sep
arated from his companions while
hunting. Wishing to find them he
shouted in loud voice, who's here?"
Echo was rejoiced, and Immediately
answered Here" Narcissus looked all
around, but saw no one. He was much
astonished, but called again, Come"
Come" replied Echo. Still no one
came and Narcissus could not see
Echo, who was hidden by the bushes
He therefore called, "Why do you
shun me?' supposing he was speaking
TO his companions, but the only answer
