PARKER ARGUES FOR
The LABOR LEADERS.
Declares Utterances Were Not Intend
ed to Violate Injunction.


Washington, Jan. Alton b. Parker
today began the defense, before the
supreme court, of Samuel s. Gompers,
John Mitchell and Frank Morrison
against charges of contempt of court
of which the labor leaders were con-
vieted in the courts of the District of
Columbia. Mr.. Gompers, the only one
of the defendants present, sat with his
wife throughout the argument.
Mr.. Parker presented the case from
an angle entirely different from that
submitted when the original appeal
was argued in 1911. He declared that
the utterances whic hhave been made
the basis for the contempt proceed
ings were not designed to violate the
district supreme courts boycott in
Junction issued in favor of the Bucks
Stove and Range company He said
they We're part of the campaign to
induce congress to remedy the threat
ened danger resulting from the su-
preme courts decision in the Danbury
hatters' case, in which it was held that
the Sreman antitrust law applied to
labor organizations.

COM M UNITY SUNDAY.

The News may be pardoned for own ing up to a sense of self-satisfaction with the splendid success of the Community Sunday" project. in view of the fact that the original suggestion was made in this column, upon which the united Brotherhood committees acted with such zeal and enthusiasm as to produce re. suits that astonished not only them. selves but the whole community.
 Sunday was. as one clergyman aptly expressed it, "a red-letter day in the religious life of the town" The com- mittees did their work thoroughly and well, and accomplished all they could have reasonably hope to accomplish. By house to house canvass, personal soli- citation and effective methods of adver- tising they awakened an interest in the purpose of Community Sunday that filled every church in the town. The weather conditions were unfavorable, raw and threatening, which had a tendency to discourage the promoters of the everybody y-to-church'' idea, who realized how delicately sensitive to heat, cold, rain and sunshine the consistent church. attendant is apt to be on the Sabbath. But Old Prob was iefied and the people came out, to our church, your church, their church and the church, in such numbers that practically auoru roouy hod in
 And it would have been impossible for the most observant stranger to dis cern between the regular attendants and the habitual stay-at-homes. There of place there, nor as if he didn't belong there, nor one who didn know how to act at any stage of the exercises. There wasn't one who acted as if it hurt. And it matters not which church they at- tended, they heard something that was good for them to hear. and which would do them good to hear oftener.
 The benefits of Community Sunday and large church attendance are not altogether in the respectable associa- tions-the presence of full house is a source of cheer and encouragement to the preacher. Said one of them, in his morning discourse "The church needs you just as much. as you need the church." Another, after his evening service. was asked: Aren't you very tired after such 8 hard days work p He replied "What Tired, with such congregations to preach to?"
 Thus it is obvious that the benefits are mutual, and the lesson is plain {: Make every Sunday Community Sun- day.

Don't Mind,

Don't mind if you're feeling bad, It won't be long before you're glad. Don't mind if you're feeling blue, There's something somewhere waiting
 you.
 To lift your shadow and your care And heal the haunting, dark despair. Don't mind it if the day goes wrong, Perhaps before the night a song Will rise around you sweet and clear, Like magic music to your ear, And all your weary heart will feel Responsive to its sweet appeal. Don't mind it if you lose the chance, It won't be long before you'll dance Into the biggest luck of all; Fight on, with back against the wall, And somehow to your blade you leap The strength to swing it far and deep. Don't mind it if you feel cast down; Tomorrow you may wear the crown; From out the shadows over you Today, tomorrow's sun will strew The gladdening and uplifting beams That fill the heart with brighter dreams.

Easier To Write

Prior to the epoch. making moment when his love triumphed over his na- tive bashfulness, young MT. Askam would have maintained against any odds that the hardest thing in life was to propose to the girl you worshipped. Afterward. however, he decided that the proposal was simply child's play compared to asking the consent of his father-in-law-elect, although that estjma- ble old gentleman was great friend.
 Flushed with success with the daugh- ter, he left filled with the spirit of a hundred conquerors. and recklessly insisted upon seeing the father at once. But upon reaching the library the spirit of the hundred couquerors suddenly evaporated and left him with pale face and trembling knees and chaotic mind.
 "I-er-er" he stammered insuffi- olently.
 Indeed r' observed the old gentle. man, chuckling. "Then you re no more, than human."
 "Ah, ah." gasped MT. Askam, hys terically, pretending hilarity he was far, far from feeling.
 "How IS your mother ?" asked the old gentleman, after an awkward pause, With the kindly intention Of setting his caller at rest.
 "I love her, IT passionately adore her. She-she has promised to marry me If you consent" announced MT. Askam in a wild burst of eloquence.
 "What Your mother?" cried the old gentleman, aghast.
 "No. nov explained the thoroughly confused Mir. Askam. Yours"
 My mother Are you crazy?r de- manded the old gentleman, excitedly.
 "I shall be in minute." moaned the wretched MT. Askam. Sir" he con- tinued, the words falling slowly and cautiously from his agitated lips. "I-came-here to ask your-con- sent-to marry-me."
 "Eh ?" cried the old gentleman.
 "I'll-Ill write it l" shouted the uD- happy Mir. Askam, struck by happy thought as he burst madly out of the room. And in that way matters were at last strengthened to everyone's satis- faction. n.-Philadelphia Ledger.

II (New Haven's Com munity Sunday than usual," also that "There will be big falling off in church attendance on Jan. 18." Also, "There
 will be number of weddings in June. "
