Bishop w. A. Quayle of the Metho-
dist Episcopal church, who is presid.

ing at the Grand Avenue church, in
Kansas City, Mo-, differs from most
members Of his profession. He doesn't
believe that because a mar is o
preacher he should not be allowed to
speak his mind freely. And he doesn't
think very much of Theodore Roose-
welt. He believes there is q neurotic
wave In American politics. and that
Roosevelt is trying to capitalize 1t to
get back into ONCE.
my judgment is that the worst
thing any American citizen can do
Is to minister to the nervousness OF
the American people," he said at the
Kupper hotel last night Then he
talked about Roosevelt.
"Mr, Roosevelt" he said, "all at
once discovered that unless we have
Q miscellaneous primary, our liberties

Bender has asked Connie Mack to
please forgive him. and promises to be
good Indian in the future. The
famous pitcher Of the Athletics fell
from grace last summer. also from the
water wagon. and the climax was
reached when the Athletics played their
final series At the Hilltop. Bender came
to the park in 4 boisterous mood. He
didn't care whether school kept or not,
and he wasn't lit afraid when he
saw the solemn faced Mack entering
the dressing room. Bender had been
that way before and Mack had quietly
passed him by. But Bender's condition
that day was the last straw. Mack
actually lost his temper. He slapped on
a $3.50 fine. Suspended the Big Chief for
the rest OF the season without pay. AMI
ordered him to take the earliest posi-.
bic train for Philadelphia.
