BAPTISTS. HERE'S OUR HAND.

Columbia this week is entertaining
the Missouri Baptist General Associa-
ton, which is to the Baptist Church
in Missouri what the state Legislature
is to all the citizens of the state. 1t is
a representative body, both in that its
delegates are elected by the churches
and in that the personnel includes the
bulwark of our Missouri citizenship.
Visiting Baptists, here's our hand. We
are indeed glad to know you.
In more ways than one are the Bap-
lists of Missouri worthy of honorable
mention. Their faith is simple, their
ideals are of the kind whose attain
ment will make for human progress
and the welfare of man and their year
ly stops toward carrying out their pro-
gram indicate nothing less than an
entirety of accomplishment.
Nearly two hundred thousand of Mis-
souri's citizens are Baptists. This is
about one-fifteenth of the total popula-
ton, and there are more than fifteen
creeds practiced in the state. The Bap-
lists have more than their proportion
ate share of membership.
The Baptist Church is democratic in
policy. That is, the members of the va
rious congregations, by their votes and
by their representatives determine the
policy of the organization from year to
year. Hence the body that is meeting
this week in Columbia.
The Baptists believe in freedom of
speech. To secure this end, they have
become one of the foremost educational
churches in the United States. In our
own state, the Baptist Church controls
two colleges, one for men and one for
women, besides having a considerable |
interest in four others.
Being Baptist, of course, is no as
surance that any person is better citi-
zen of the state; but when the citizens |
of Columbia become acquainted with
the representative Baptists from all
over Missouri, these same Columbia
hosts and hostesses will be the first
to admit that the Baptists have some
mighty good people among them.
Visiting Baptists, here's our hand
again.

NEW MAN.DESTROYER,

Another new man-destroyer has ap.
peared on the market. It's the motor
battle ship. Since electricity has been
put into use in every way imagined
why not use it to kill men in larger
numbers than by the electric chair
Perhaps the score of dead and wound
ed would be larger in the present war
if the inventor of this new Staying
device had made known his discover
les a bit earlier.
The proposition of the New York
Navy Yard to make the United States
Navy pioneer in the development of
battle ships by being the first nation
to build great dreadnought with a
system of electric propulsion, is re-
ceiving strong support from naval en-
gineers.
Secretary Daniels is looking upon
the proposition with favor and is
keeping the way open for the innova-
tion by having the work of construc-
tion Of the battle ship, which the New
York Navy York is about to build, so
conducted as to admit of the adoption
of electric motors If it shall finally be
determined to install this new system
of propulsion.
Sometimes We think that the age is
advancing a little too rapidly in some
lines for the good of all. Is it advanc-
ways to kill?

are, honest and fair-minded and by
these qualities distinguished from all
the rest of humankind. o, how we
long to do the right thing, even if we
have to suffer thereby!
But shucks! everybody wants to do
the right thing. Nearly everybody's
honest.
! One rule of the road on Life's peril
GUS speedway is the same as a GER
tain rule when one automobile meets
another on Broadway, Columbia. It's
this: Keep to the Right!
If the way is clear when man is
trying to steer his course through life,
he may drive as pleases him best. He
may scrape the left-hand curb if he
cares to.
But the moment another individual
comes in sight, the rule comes imme-
diately into force. If the right isn't
kept vigilantly, therell be a mighty
smash-up and calls for the ambu-
lance.
Two rules lie at the base of all our
social relations. The first is that we
shall live so as to satisfy others. The
second is that we shall live so as to
satisfy ourselves in our relationship
with our own souls and with the
world.
It's all a ticklish proposition, but
the question of what is the right thing
lies just between these two laws. A
proper respect to each is consistent.
A man is doing the right thing
when, deep down in his soul, he feels
that he is doing the right thing. He
must look out for himself, but first
of all for others. When he fails to
observe the rights of his brother, he
is certain to bring trouble. For, in
his little, misguided way, he is violat-
ing the great, the immutable rule of
the road.

The New Books
"VandOver and the Brute

Properly to understand the why
and wherefore of this strange novel,
the reader must know something OF
the conditions under which it came
to be published. 1t is a posthumous
publication; suppressed during the au-
thor's lifetime, though written early
in his literary career; lost to the
world for long time among some of
Frank Norris personal effects that
escaped the great San Francisco
earthquake and fire; discovered by the
merest chance, and finally put on the
press only in 1914, twelve years after
the authors death.
1t must have been some courage,
too, for any firm to undertake such a
publication, even in these later days
of realism and anti-prudishness. "van-
dover and the Brute" is not a mice"
book by whole lot. It is written to
warn, not to amuse or entertain. II
any man ever wrote a book to point
moral or fulfill a purpose, Frank
Norris did it in "Vandover and the
Brute" He is a truth-teller par ex-
cellence. He tells the truth in this
book so plainly that it almost offends.
"Vandover" isn't a pleasant book,
either. Its plot leads downward, not
upward. It Is a novel of character,
or rather of lack of character. TAX
ing Harvard graduate with artistic
and a brilliant future,
Norris shows how his lack of the
proper self-denial loses him every
thing, even down to the once-prided
skillfulness of his fingers. The book
ends with Vandover, a bum" and a

ON DOING THE RIGHT THING.

A great many individuals nowadays
believe, deep down in their hearts,
that Diogenes died too soon. They
think that the sage with the lantern,
were he searching for the one honest
man here in October, 1914, would
have an opportunity to throw away
his light.
In other words, a whole lot of us
think we are the particular person
Diogenes looked for. We think we

BROCKTOh BLUES VS.. AUGUSTA
TROLLEY LEAGUE TEAM TODAY

Everything is now in readiness for
the game this afternoon between the
Brockton Blues and the Augusta Troll
ley League team on the Reuel Will
liams field. The Massachusetts, team Is
said to be very fast aggregation and
has already played some fast games
with teams in Maine. This will be the
first exhibition game played by the
Augusta team this season and from
TIE fact that a Massachusetts, team
has not played in Augusta in years
much interest Is aroused. Augusta
should win this contest and many
fans predict that it will. Smith and vi
olette will not be in the game for Au-
Augusta but the services of two star
men playing on other teams in the
Trolley League have been secured. Au-
gusta is playing fast ball and every
man is hitting and fielding in fast
form, The lineup for this afternoon
will probably be as follows: Talbot C,
Harvey 1b. Fuller Of the Winthrop
team 2b. Newbert IS, Capt. Coady 3b.
Stinson If, MacGhee CT and Carroll IF.
1t is undecided yet as to who will do
the twirling. The contest commences
at and a good attendance is looked
forward to.

New York, July 19-With the close of
the professional baseball season less
than two months away the pennant
races in both major and minor leagues
are tightening up in remarkable man.
ner when the scores of associations
are considered as whole. With few
exceptions here and there the strug
giles for first places are far closer than
has been the rule for several years. II
the claim that this is poor financial
season in baseball is correct it is certain
that the charge cannot be laid to one
sided flag races. In the major leagues
at least six clubs have pennant
chances. Philadelphia, Detroit and
Washington are all in the American
League race and the first four clubs in
the National organization all figure as
possible winners. The same situation
exists in the Federal and Information
al Leagues.
The race in the Glass A. organiza-
lions is also close. The Southern AS
ISOLATION pennant struggle is one of
the most interesting in years, less than
one hundred points separating the first
six clubs. In the Western League,
Denver, st. Joseph. Lincoln and Sioux
City are all punched and as the sea-
son does not close until September q
any one of these clubs may prove the
flag winner. Among the Glass B.
leagues the average is not so close.
New London has good lead in the
Eastern Association: Dayton in the
Central League; Wilkes Barre in the
New York State League, and Daven-
port in the Three l League. In the
Texas League Beaumont, Houston and
Waco are all in the race while Wor-
cester. Portland, Lawrence and Lynn
have a pennant chance in the New
England league.
The Glass c. races are also proving
of much interest to the baseball fans
of the respective league territories.
Charleston leads the South Atlantic
race with Albany having a fair chance
if the leaders slow up for any reason.
The Virginia contest is far closer for
Norfolk. Newport News and Richmond
are closely grouped. Further north in
the Wisconsin Illinois League five
Gibbs are in the flag race. there being
hardly a hundred points between the
first and fifth teams. Bay City appears
to have safe lead in the South Michi-
gan league while Winnipeg, Grand
Forks and Virginia all have a chance
to win out before the season closes
on Labor Day The same can be said
of Fall River, New Bedford and Paw
tucket in the Colonial league while
London and ottawa are leaders in the
Canadian League.
