scoring by field goal in the first few
moments of play from underneath the

Abby tore off a pair of two-pointers
and McDonough and Lacey quickly
followed his example. The Rising
Sun youths secured a large lead dur
ing the opening session and held it
throughout the game Buccannon,
McDonough and Lacey tossed goals
at will and the visitors were unable
to withstand the accurate shooting Of
the local artillerymen.
FELTON, was the only woodman who
was able to connect with the net more
than twice. He tailed four times and
Appleby and Iahn each garnered a
brace of field goals.

The Hungerford Tavern.

The passing of the Hungerford tavern
at Rockville will cause regret that one
of the ancestral patriotic societies could
not have saved il. Revolutionary land
marks are disappearing and the historic
and sentimental value of those remaining
is increasing.
The story of this old tavern goes back
to a time in American annals which too
many Americans are forgetting. In the
rush and whirl of the present ten-year
retrospect is a long backward look and
a century or so-merely two or three life
spans-carries one back to remote an
tiuuity. This is false view. The past
always seems closer to the average man
when there is something belonging to it
which he can see or touch. He needs
his history in tangible form.

Moving Picture DEVELOPMENT.

1t is to be said in behalf of moving pic
lures and their makers that there has
been marked Improvement in their
character since they made their first
bid for popularity. In the earlier stage of
development of this amusement form the
pictures lent themselves most frequently
to portrayal Of the deeds of masked high
waymen. train robberes. and to other
crimes and dreadful exploits calculated to
make small boys hold their breath A
spirit of emula ton was kindled in many
boys. Most of these pictures have dis
appeared.
The rule now is the presentation Of ex-
cellent picture plays and of standard
plays done pictorially. Shakespeare is
being done in pictures in precincts where
his words have rarely been spoken. Fa-
nous actors appear on the screen.
Moving pictures have also developed
favorites-the appearance of whose faces
is the signal for applause very much
after the fashion of the greeting given a
theatrical pet as he or she steps before
the footlights.
The moving picture in a way is dupli-
eating the story of talking machine or
the patent music machine Once these
devices emitted rude farce or a popular
song. Now the greatest singers and
PLAYERS give their art to these machines,
with the result that good music may be
heard in homes where it could not other
wise be enjoyed

A Progressive's Progress.

AS Theodore Roosevelt calls himself a
progressive. and is hailed as their chief
by the so-called progressives of his party,
let us note his progress toward the Chi
cago nomination.
Two years ago the republican conven-
ton in session 10 nominate state ticket
in New York Endorsed the Taft admins
tration and all its work. and Mr.. Taft s
friends worked with a will for the ticket.
Mr. Roosevelt presided over the conven-
ton, and his influence dictated the plat
form.
Something like year later a newspaper
suggestion that. Mr.. Roosevelt should op-
pose Mr. Taft for party leader and re-
turn to the White House called forth a
warm protest from him. He declared
that his candidacy would be a calamity.
Some months later he confessed that he
would accept his partys nomination for
President again if the cali came in a
manner to Indicate controlling party
sentiment.
Later still, governors of seven states
out of the forty-odd in the Union visited
oyster Bay and assured Mr.. Roosevelt
that republican sentiment everywhere
was clamoring for his leadership. and
would not be denied.
In response to this assurance Mr..
Roosevelt SHE'D his hat into the ring
AS the clamor failed to become deafen-
ing-at any rate did not wake the echoes
at Oyster Bay-Mr. Roosevelt took the
stump to stir up the people. He under
took to show them why they should
clamor for him, and in doing so re-
pudated in most offensive terms the ad-
ministration he had Endorsed only two
years before.
Despite all his efforts, the returns show
ed that the majority of the delegates
chosen to the national convention did not
favor him; that Mr.. Taft would lead him
at Chicago. perhaps with votes enough to
secure the nomination on the first ballot
Then Mr.. Roosevelt raised the cry of
fraud. and set machinery in motion for
overturning returns. The national COM
mittee must be browbeaten, and the roll
of the convention prepared to favor the
Roosevelt candidacy.
This scheme having failed. Mr. Roose-
Welt decided on trying the effect of bull
doing tactics on the street crowds in
Chicago and on the convention itself
and he arrived in that town today to
take charge in person of this desperate
demonstration.
Progress? Yes, but toward what? Or
derby party procedure? Better govern
ment for the country? Sanity and con
servatism in legislation and in executive
action? No. Progress toward disorder
class hatred. distrust of our institutions
and toward party disruption.

Rich Government Clerks.

Senator Cummins assured the Senate
yesterday that government clerks in
Washington are not overpaid. He was
speaking in opposition to the Williams
amendment providing for a five-year
tenure of office for clerks, which it was
sought to incorporate in the legislative,
judicial and executive appropriation bill,
and which was properly voted down.
1t seems curious to one who knows his
Washington that the Senate should need
to be instructed that government clerks
are not overpaid. The contrary is true.
The level of wages is about what it was
half century ago. 1t never was munifi-
cent, and because of the shrunken and
the shrinking purchasing power of dol
lar has come to be niggardly. Clerks
salaries" are not even good wages"
Ii should be borne in mind that govern
ment clerks constitute a we'll educated
class. Their living standard is expected
to be higher than if they did not consti-
tute an educated class. Does anybody
know of extravaganza on the part of
these richly paid government clerks? Are
not thousands of them living in boarding
houses or in small rented houses, or mod
est dwellings in the suburbs while thou
sands are filled with the rather human
desire to own a home. and are buying
one on the temperament plan?
Are not thousands of them eating ten
cent lunches or bringing their lunches
wrapped in a napkin or a piece of paper
to office? Are not thousands of them
riding to and from office i'm street cars
on which one gets a long haul for a frac-
ton over 4 cents? Do not other thou
sands walk to save even this small car
fare? Have not these people children and
wives and parents and the like dependent
on them?
Are government clerks rolling around
in automobiles, buying orchestra seats
at the theaters and reserving tables at
the high-priced restaurants? Not so YOU
could notice it. The people doing these
| things are people in prosperous circum-
stances and are not in government en-
| ploy. There may be a few overpaid and
| underworked government employees in
| Washington. but they are probably hold
Ing sinecures provided by members OF
Congress who have political debts, which
| they pay at public expense.

deIiverance as entirely sincere. Its au-
thor is a sincere man, long of head and
stout Of heart, and, whether in politics
or out. has always said what he meant
and meant what he said.
STILL the question presents itself. what
would Judge Hughes do IL the Chicago
convention. finding itself deadlocked be-
TWEEN Mr.. Taft and Mr.. Roosevelt, and
forced to choose compromise man,
should choose him? How could he de-
cline? What reason would suffice? He
could not plead his personal feelings, for
they would not answer as against such a
call from his party. He could not plead
his preference for Mr.. Taft, for the party
would have eliminated Mr.. Taft. Could
any man in such circumstances decline a
presidential nomination?
But all dark horse gossip. even when
it plays around so attractive a man as
Judge Hughes, is faced by very serious
question. If Mr. Taft is rejected at Chi
cago, what becomes of the record? And
il the record is repudiated. what strength
will there be in the appeal to the coun-
try
The strength of Mr.. Taft lies in the
fact that the record is as much the
partys as il is his. All the legislation OF
the Sixty-first Congress, including the
Payne tariff law. before it received his
signature had received the votes OF
majority of his party in both the Senate
and the House. If he has failed, so has
the party. Could the Chicago convention
take that position without disaster at the
polls?
If, however. conditions arose under
which a dark horse running on a Taft
platform, should be named by Mr.. Taft
himself this element of hurtful repudia-
tion would be reduced to a minimum.
