NEW YORK, June 16.-President

this game Wagner was caught between
third and home on Hunters hit to the

The ball was thrown to third base

then threw home, mailing Wagner.
Both runners were called out.
Manager Clarke's protest was based
on a statement by Umpire Doyle that
he would have called Hunter out,
whether he had beaten the throw or
not, on the theory that he was not
entitled to the bag. Lynch says this
would have been contrary to the rules.
Both Doyne and Umpire-in-Chief, how

Under new conditions of life, the

statement is that thirteen of the
churches under his charge have in
creased the salaries of their pastors
from SO to 1920 per annum. The in
creases at New Bloomfield and Aux

ties, appear to indicate that the SAL

Some Grange Sentiments.

In the report of its temperance com
mittee adopted by the Maine Stat
Grange at Lewiston, last week, wer
sentiments so plainly and severely ex
pressed that we deem comment un
necessary. The following seems t
indicate, pretty clearly, the feelings o
the rural population:
1t is urged by the enemies of the
Prohibitory Law that it cannot be
enforced. We admit that in many
Maine cities the law has not been
enforced as it should be, especial
ly the past year. But this is the
fault of the officials. No
law enforces itself, especially when
the officers whose duty it is to en-
force il, are bitterly opposed to its
enforcement. II those who were
elected and sworn to enforce the
law would spend one-half the time
and effort in enforcing the pro-
hibitory law that they have in try
ing to evade and repeal #, the
rum seller would go out of busi-
ness in Maine. We re-
aret that certain officials high in
power in our State have SO far
forgotten their obligations to the
people that they have DETAINED the
fair name of our State and insult
ed its best citizens by proclaiming
abroad that the retention of the
prohibitory amendment was due to
the hypocrite and the rum seller.
Such statements are an insult to
the State and slur on the
churches and the grange.
The constitutional amendment has
just been reaffirmed.. 1t is the
plain duty of the administration to
enforce the laws and especially a
constitutional law--the highest law
in the State.
The National Grange at it's last
session passed resolutions con-
demning the action of Secretary of
Agriculture Wilson in presiding at
the Brewers Congress, We heart
lily endorse the action of that body
and further declare that the action .
