 Well. we'll. go on, I am waiting, answered the older man.
 'So," resumed the speaker, i've all know what this generous nation of Yankees. this nation so given to es, tablishing freedom throughout the world, intends to do with the Phil ippine Islands. Their newspapers leave us no doubt as to that. Impe- rialism! That is the cry iE the Unit ed States.

I'll tell you 'World-power!' That is what they say: 'World-power,'
 A sort of low cry went the rounds of his hearers. and Holton could see that the speaker was bringing them one and all beneath his spell
 
 the ground. paying no attention to the round of hand-clapping that attended his peroration.
 For a moment no one stirred. It appeared as though all were thinking digesting the eloquence that had beer poured into their ears. Then another man arose. Holton leaned forward with a gasp.
 It was the spy, the waiter of the New Willard, come tonight to place the capstone upon the spell he had been weaving among the officers of the Cuban army

 "Of course, we believe that these men were sent here because of the great yearning of the United States to see us a free, unshackled country.

- the Editor Of The Times Dispatch:
Sir.-You state in to- days issue Of
our paper that one Of the rca sons for
'"esidcnt Wilson'S refusal TO join the
HheNy Chase Club was that he was
not willing TO lend his influence Ia
sunday card and golf playing and
ether things OF this kind. President
Wilson is exactly right. In my humble
oi'inion and the people OF the coun-
try ought to thank God that we have
In the White House a man with such
principles and one who has the cour-
age of his convictions. The country
would he better off II We had more
men who in public and private life
would stand out for what they believe
TO be right, regardless OF criticism
from some who ought TO know better.
It will be a sad day for our country
when the Continental idea OF the Sab
bath prevails, but il seems To be com
ing, and will come IL il is not checked
now. In the North. conditions are
worse than in the South, but even in
Sabbath loving Richmond the day is
openly desecrated by golf and tenni.
playing. This is jus, the entering
wedge, and the example IS very bad
One OF the saddest features about it
is that boys OF tender age are en-
Dloyed "caddy boys" and are thus
taught to disregard the sabbath. and
are Mt ii from early morning till late
in the afternoon. Perhaps there is no
law to prevent the playing Of the game
on sunday, but surely there is some
law 10 prevent the employment OF
these young boys on the day. when they

opinion can, and il is to De hoped that
