WENTWORTH WINS
ANOTHER
Kemper Looses Through Errors
8 to 0.

Wentworth by playing a
steadier fielding game Wednesday
was able to carry off the long
end of the score in their game
with Kemper Wentworth scored
one run in each of the first,
second and seventh innings
through the inability of the Wis
itors to handle the ball cleanly
when the opportunity came. Not
score was earned. The batter
les were the whole show. Kem-
per's pitcher gave five hits and
struck out eleven, while Went
worth s allowed the same num-
Der of hits and struck out ten.
The feature fielding stunt was a
catch by Magee which resulted in
a double killing.

CHAUTAUoUA THIS SUMMER
Lexington Working for An En-
tertainment Worth While.

Lexington people have long
felt the need of something new
in the way Of entertainment dur
ing the long summer months. Al
ter the public schools, and the
Academy and the two Colleges
have closed in May, Lexington
people have been prone to close
their doors, resigned to a
summer of passive contentment
with whatever chance threw in
their way in the form of recrea-
ton and entertainment. Possibly
a circus, land may they come
often) a tent show, deliver u.s.
or a quack doctor, (OhD have
enlivened things a little, but a
really educational entertainment
of merit has been lacking.
Mr.. White, pastor of the Chris
tian church, took the iniative
step by having a representative,
Mr.. Meyers, of the Midwest As
sociated Chautauquas come to
Lexington, and present the
matter to the business men. The
plan proposed BY Mr.. Meyer
has been taken under advisement
and if the guarantee demanded
can be secured, Lexington vii
have a Chautauqua this summer
probably for eight days com
mencing July 28th.
A committee has been appoint
ed to wait upon the business
men, and it is hoped that nc
trouble will be experienced Il
securing the guarantee.

SUICIDE IN ODESSA
Failing Health Probably the
Cause.

II. A. Marshall, prominent
young man of Odessa, committed
suicided Monday night. Mr.. Mar
shall was a son of r. p. Marshall
of Odessa, and a cousin Of L. w.
Marshall and J, L. Marshall of
this city, He was about twenty
five years Of age, unmarried, and
held an important position in the
Citizens Bank of Odessa.
Mr.. Marshall had been in
failing health for some time.
Monday he performed his duties
at the bank as usual and quit
work about five o'clock. After
supper he went to the barber
shop for a shave, bought
some new underwear, and then
went to the bank and secured
the revolver with which he
took his life.
On returning home he took a
bath, put on a suit of newly
bought underwear and retired.
Sometime in the night he pulled
the covering up over his head,
and placing the revolver to his
temple completed the tragedy.
Failing to appear at the time
he usually came down for break
fast, his mother went to his
room and found him as described
above.
Mr., Marshall was an intelligent
and highly honorable young
man, and this sudden ending of
a life Of so much promise, is
indeed a sad blow, not only
to his near relatives, but to a
score Of friends all over the
country.

Lowrey and Morgan's Minstrels

LoWrey ana morgan 5 NllhSVIeIS'
The Lowrey and Morgan min
strels, which played at the opera
house before large crowd
Tuesday evening were highly
pleasing for the most part. The
performers were real negro peo-
pie and acted naturally. The
voices were good in both solo
and ensemble work and some OF
the dancing was excellent.
Very few archaic jokes made
their appearance and all the gags
were clean. The weak part OF
the organization is the orchestra,
which in the first part consisted
of two violins, two cornets, a
trombone and drums. In the
second part the piano was added
and helped considerably.
/ An exceedingly funny farce,
entitled "Jack JOhnSOn's Re
turn" closed the program.

If THEODORE Roosevelt as president had not
wasted so much time finding out how thing
could not be done and SO much energy ex-
planning why he found things that way, his ad-
ministration might have been productive OF
something more tangible than wild words. The
Sherman antitrust law was one thing in his
way. According to him nothing could be done
under its provisions. Under President Taft
Charles S. Meen. president of the New York
New Haven and Hartford railroad. has been
indicted by grand jury under criminal section
Of the law. He and others with him are
charged with conspirng to monopolize inter
state and foreign commerce.
This was the way suggested by Judson Har-
mon, of Ohio, in the rebate cases against Paul
Morton, but Colonel Roosevelt would not listen
and Harmon had to resign fedeal attorney.
Unfortunately for Melen Roosevelt Is not in
the White House now.

PEOPLES FORUM
Immortalitx and Future Punishment.

Editor Richmond virginian:
Sir,-In the interest of what humbly con-
ceive to be truth as taught In Gods blessed
word kindly give space In the Forum" for the
following views on the above important sub
jects.
II man when created was made In Gods
image since God Is immortal man at first was
immortal. Man and his helpmate, woman, ate
of the forbidden fruit and incurred death as
the penalty. After the fall they were driven
from Eden and not allowed to eat of the
tree of life Had they partaken of the fruit of
the tree of life they would, in their dual nature
of flesh and spirit become immortal and that
God was not best. That Christ's death
brought immortality to the good we'll as
the bad. to the unbeliever as to the believer, is
clearly taught in John 5. xxviii-xxix, wherein
We are told that they that have done good
will come forth unto the resurrection OF life
and they that have done evil into the resurrec-
ton of damnation. That the wicked well as
the righteous are immortal because of Christ s
death s clearly and strongly proven In the
closing verses of the 25th chapter of Matthew 8
gospel, where the Anal judgment scene is de-
scribed and we are told that the sheep (the
righteous) will go into eternal life and the
goats (the wicked) will so into everlasting
punishment Paul in / Cor. Is, XIII says: For
as In Adam all die even SO in Christ shall all
(wicked as well az righteous) be made alive"
Immortality OF all is surely taught in these
passages.
To shallow natures who are full Of maudlin
sentmentaity the future punishment of the
wicked and abhorrent and 1t sounds plausible
TO say that a mercifui God will not punish for
ever the wicked, but such sentimental folks
lose sight of sins true nature and lose sight of
the true nature of Gods law, which the sinner
violates. To pity a man doomed to death
for a great crime to certain extent is proper
and right, but when one goes SO far without
great mitigating circumstances as to try to
prevent the law taking its course his maudlin
sympathy does injustice to others living. whose
lives may be jeopardized by letting the trans
gressor go unpublished. 1t was to meet the re-
quirements OF Gods law and at the same time
man that Jesus died. Jesus honored Gods
law and he came into world to us and
to aid us to honor and keep that law. He and
the Father are one and ne came TO fulfill
rather than destroy Gods law.

Progressiyes whittier Governor Wilson or Col
onei Roosevelt is president, IL progressive pol
icies shall prevail. Such Progressives can even
contemplate with equanimity the dissolution of
the Progressive party. if the alleged purpose for
which that party was created can be accom-
plished under Democratic administration.
III the Progressives fail to stand with the
Democrats in the next congress they will con-
vict themselves of being NOR deeply concerned
for the success of a partisan political move
ment than for the welfare OF the people gen
orally"
Our guess is that the Progressives will re-
fuse, The opportunity to increase the ma
jority of the progressive element In the senate
is a good one, but there is much truth in the
reported statement OF some of the Bull Moose
leaders in New England that to make the SEN
ate safely progressive would be to increase the
chances of a successful Democratic admins
tration, a success which would tend to de-
crease the chances of Roosevelt's election in
1916. Being controlled by Roosevelt. who is
TOO good politician not to see the force of
this argument, they will, in all probability, re-
fuse the proffered alliance.
