INTER-CHURCH
FEDERATION HERE
Dr.. MCCauley Tells Of Work
Accomplished by United
Churches in Trenton

The Rev. DR.. H. B. McCauley, of
Trenton. n. j.. secretary OF the Fed
eral Council of the Churches of Christ
in America. addressed the Ministerial
Union this morning urging the for
nation of an Inter-Church Federation,
OF Delaware and Maryland; joining
the movement which has been begun
in other states, which have formed
State Inter-Church Federations. these
federations working through a central
federal council. DR.. McCaulley said
that a ministerial union had neither
the money nor the authority to do the
work purposed by the federations, as
the members OF the Ministerial Unions
voted as individuals rather than rep
resenting their church.
Speaking of what has already been
done, DR.. McCaulley said that in five
years of existence, the Trenton Inter-
Church Federation has stopped Sun
day basebalh' Sunday vaudeville. inn
proper theatrical shows. demoralizing
fair midway features. and has accom-
plished censorship of pictures, bill
boards, etc, and raised the age at
which unaccompanied children may at
tend theatres and exhibits to 16 years.
He said the surprising part was the
ease with which everything had been
done, showing that united church SEN
timent was a power for which politi-
clans had respect. Dr. McCaulley said
the federation had been greatly aided
by the press in its campaign for right
eousness. Each church in the fedora
tion appoints its minister and a lay
delegate, with authority to represent
their church. These form the central
working committee.
The Wilmington Ministerial Union
passed a resolution asking the chail
to appoint a committee OF five, lookine
toward the organization of an inter.
church federation in this State
The Rev. Thomas p. Holloway, pres
! ident of the Union. will announce tn,
committee within a day or two

this is a sentiment the Governor will
regard.

said that In order to get II passed al
all, they had had 10 agree TO exemp

I have a right to expect that a chance
will be given me to explain our point
OF view upon important measures.
expect further 10 initiate some Of
these measures myself.
Socialism necessarily implies the
fullest extention of Democracy. The
Socialist party the world over strives
to obtain for the people the greatest
measure Of political freedom. Our pur-
pose is thus two-fold political and In
dustrial.
"In common with Socialist legis-
lators all over the world shall stand
for every measure. no matter by whom
introduced, which gives greater poll
teal freedom or economic security to
the working class; which safeguards
the toilers at their tasks; which takes
women and children from the factory
which lessons the burden and misery
of the workers, and adds to their
leisure and comfort.

The game between Oregon and

In victory for White Cloud. The
wind greatly intcrfered with the
playing of both teams but the game
was very Interesting and both teams
showed up well. II pleased the boys
very much to Ike able TO play a team
80 large with such results. The boys
have but little time for practice at
this season of the year, hence some
errors. Chas. Burkhalter umpired
the game. Neither side showed any
whatever to question the
decisions of the umpire. The Oregon
boys are line fellows and their con.
duct while In our city showed them
to be gentlemen. The Oregon team
was greatly handicapped. as their
regular catcher was unable TO accom-.
psny them on his trip.
Tie High school determined TO
support the team In the good. old.
fashioned way. With Cecil DeIsoin
rs yell master. the High school and
many Of White Clouds loyal citizens,
gave the. team great support, and
helped them very much al all times
throughout the game.-white Cloud
