Why Close Churches in Summer?

1t is customary in Richmond as elsewhere
for number of churches to be closed part of
the time in summer but this practice has been
most vigorously condemned by prominent New
York divine, the Rev. Oliver NJ Fletcher.
"Why are so many churches closed in sum-
mer?' he asks.
"Why is the spiritual welfare of the people
neglected in the warm weather?
"Do the people in the city require less spirit
ual attention in the Summer seasons than at
other times?
'Is not the temptation in the city multiplied
more in Summer than in Winter, and does not
the public therefore require even greater and
more constant attention on the part of the
Church?
''These questions assert themselves as I OBJ
serve everywhere in the city church doors
closed tight with few exceptions, although
eighty per cent of our population is still in the
city and will be here during the Summer
'The closed churches, the vacant pupits and
the absence of the clergy all look to me like neg
lect, indefensible neglect, of the focks whose
spiritual welfare is reposed in them.
"The need of the ministers here is greater in
Summer than in Winter. This has been demon
strated. The temptation is greater in warm
weather; parental restraint and vigilance over
children's morals are relaxed or euded, and ev-
erywhere the young are subjected to evils against
which the absent clergy, upon their return in
Winter, preach long and earnestly
"This being so, why do so many of the clergy
at the first sign of Summer and when their serv-
ices in behalf of Christianity and morality are
most needed, hurry from the city to the quiet
precincts of the poorly populated country, where
temptation is less, far less, than here?
eve grant and believe that the clergyman,
like the business man. needs and should have
vacation. But is it not violation of their allie
glance to the work of God to flee-for flight it
seems-from their flocks in Summer, when these
flocks are beset by more and greater temptations
than in Winter?
"The opening of the seashore the Inaugural
ton of daily excursions to far distant points, the
running of steamboats, to places of amusement,
ideal conditions for automobng, for bathing, for
leaving the home and parental restraint early
Sundays and returning late, all contain tempta-
lions against which it is difficult for many to
struggle when there is lack of spiritual support.
!, "How often at this time of the year do young
girls go away unchaperoned aboard steamboats,
and trains to amusement centers far from the
city with young men of whom their parents know
little or nothing?
'If the clergy speak unitedly against such
conditions from the pulpits during the Winter,
why not remain in the city in Summer to aid
those of the ministry who remain behind like
true disciples, and carry on the work when the
task is most difficult?
: Surely there is merit and satisfaction in saw
ing souls in Summer we'll in Winter even
though the work may require great effort and
sacrifice

GOVERNOR pARDoNs NEGRO.
to Pardon Every Person
Convicted I'm Police Court.

Columbia, March 8.-An unusual
instance of the use of the pardon
power was recorded this morning
when Governor Blease issued an un-
conditional pardon to his chauffeur.
Harrison Neely, who was only a few
hours before convicted in recorders
court OF exceeding the speed limit.
The Governor. did not appear in
court as witness, but hardly had the
negro's conviction become known in
the Governors Office when the par
don was sent TO the office OF the Sec
retary Of State. The negro had been
fined $3.75.
Summoned to Appear Again.
Columbia, March 10.-Chief OF
Police Cathcart to-day served ano-
ther summons upon Governor
Blease's colored chauffeur to appear
in police court tomorrow morning
and answer TO the charge Of speed
ing. The negro was fined $3.75 Sat-
urday for speeding, and the Cover
nor Immediately pardoned him.
The Governor threatened to par
don every person convicted in police
court If the fine was not remitted.
The fine has not yet been remitted
and the police authorities have asked
City Attorney Edmonds to render
his opinion as to whether the Cover
nor's pardon can stand.
The Governor stated to a press
representative to-day that If the city
did not stop what he alleges as
"thrusts at him" by the actions
against the chauffeur, he has the
power to put the city under metro
politan police and declare martial
law. His threat is the sensation Of
the day in the city.
After the fining Of the chauffeur
Saturday the Governors car was seen
driving up and down Main street at
a fast rate Of speed. 1t Is for this
ofense that the chauffeur Is sum
moned to court tomorrow.

PRESIDENT WILL LEND A HAND.
Will Show Administrations Weight
to Senate and House Bills.

Washington, March 9.-President
Wilson will take hand himself in
framing legislation with the new Con-
gress. With the coop Grafton Of
party leaders In the House and in
the Senate he proposes to work over
tariff, currency and other important
measures even before they are intro
duced and to lend the weight Of the
administration to the support Of the
bills.
This information, and the fact that
the President, will endeaYor, in for
warding his policies, to use personal
persuasion, not only with members Of
his own party, but with Progressive
Republicans who are inclined to be
friendly, came to-day from those who
have talked with him since his inau-
guartion. The President does not
plan to draft legislation, but expects,
by suggestion and conference, TO com
plete an agreement upon scientific
measure, with the party leaders.
President Wilson's plan as to leg
islation is not necessarily to insist on
the acceptance of administration
measures as such, but he will en-
deavOr to secure the accomp lishment
Of legislation with the aid OF Demo-
cratic leaders that will express fully
the fixed purposes of the administra-
tion
A part of the Presidents plan (and
in this he has the support of many
House leaders) is to keep the eyes of
the nation on one particular measure
at time. This was his line of pro-
cedure as Governor of New Jersey in
pushing through the seven antitrust
bills.
The President is expected to con-
suit with House leaders this week
over the form Of some of the tariff re-
vision bills. The newly-designated
members of the ways and means COM
mittee have been at work for two
days and will continue throughout
the week on the preparation of these
measures.
President Wilson already has made
study Of some of the tariff bills of
the last two sessions, and Secretaries
Redfield and Bryan are also thor
oughly familiar with recent Demo-
cratic work on the tariff. Before any
OF the measures are ready for pre-
sentat .en to the House they ~ III have
'feeeIved the studious examinat Ton OF
the President and his cabinet.

FEDERALs JOIN REBEL RANKS.
New Mexican Revolt Along Border
Becomes Formidable.

Douglas, Ariz., March S.-Encamp-
ed within striking distance of several
important border towns, the $500
Constitutionalist troops rested on
arms kto-day, while Instructions
among Federal garrisons strengthen
ed materially the rebel forces.
No word has come from Nacozari,
south of here, where a fierce battle
maged all yesterday, and it is not
known what the result Of the encoun-
ter has been. The last word receiv-
ed from the besieged city was from
the telegraph operator, who dashed
"too hot for me here" and left his
key just before all wires between
Douglas and Nacozari were cut.
To-day the best citizens of Aqua
Prieta generally fled to Douglas,
while the drunken and rebellious SOL
diers paraded the streets crying
"Viva Madero!" viva Maytorena!"
and "Viva Diaz!" Brawls between
politically estranged companions in
arms added to the confusion and ter
ror which held the town In its grip
throughout the day.
Desertions among the Federal SOL
diers at Guayamas, the California
gulf port held by the Federals, were
reported here to-day, and though or
ders were received by the comman-
der of that garrison to move against
Hermosillo with his full force imme-
diately, no move has been made by
them.

TRUSTEE OPPOSED
TO IMPROVEMENT
Mason Against Bettering Ma
tional Road Through Jack
son Township.

A strong sentiment in favor of i'm
proving the National road through
jackson township. is developing in
Dublin, Mt. Auburn, Cambridge City,
East Germantown and Pennville. The
road should it be improved would take
care of the main streets of these towns
without much cost to the residents.
Trustee NJ. E. Mason is much op-
posed to the road and has thus far
been able to prevent its going through
It runs six miles through the town
ship and would necessitate the circu-
iation of two petitions to nave it i'm
proved under the three mile road law,
unless it should be endorsed at a spec
ial election, in which case the entire
Elk miles could be sold in one contract.
The main objection to the road is
that the T. Fl. |. and K. traction line
Is built upon the right of way and the
road cannot be made sufficiently wide
to warrant the expense of making it a
high class thoroughfare.
