will undoubtedly follow this course.
Base ball is essentially clean game.
It's great popularity is due to the fact
that everyone, preacher, teacher, mer-
chant, laborer, boy, girl, or woman can
attend a game and enjoy clean COM
petition between two mines of clean
young fellows. For this reason the
great American game of base ball has
grown in favor constantly.
Belding has backed the team en-
Enthusiastically this year not only be-
cause it is winning aggregatiin.
but because the players are a fine
bunch of young fellows who are
actuated by the right motives of
craftsmanship. To have our ball field
here the scene of brawls and quarrels
will certainly not add to the support
accorded base ball here.
If Belding were the only place
where Ionia has felt aggrieved this
season we might feel that Ionia had
more cause for complaint But this is
not so. We understand that Hast
ings, Charlotte and Grand Haven have
all had their troubles with the convict
city team and that all Of those teams
have absolutely refused TO, play any
more games with Ionia.
Belding would be wise to follow this
example.

French, the other German, and each
had been battered almost to scrap iron

the longer and more difficult journey
was preposterCus.
But Martin held firmly to his pur-
pose. The man who had helped turn
back the plunging of Yale backfeld
which smelled touchdown was not
to be daunted by little sand and
mountains.
At the appointed time the little car,
fitted with a forty-gallon gasoline tank,
a native type sun awning and a move
able searchlight left Buenos Ayres.
With Martin in the capacity of me-
chanic was Otto Johanson. The first
stage across the pampas TO the foot of
the mountains proved fully as difficult
as had been predicted and consumed
six days during which the car con-
stantly battled sand and swamp. The
travellers found adventure in plenty.
They lost their way, they mired in the
salt marsh, they were forced to sleep
under the car, but they struggled on,
and eventually reached the city of
Mendoza, which lies under the shadow
of the mighty Andean range. Here
they rested for six days before begin

When Martin first announced his
intention of attempting the journey
everyone in Buenos Ayres laughed at

MOTHERS ORGANIZE TO STUDY
THEIR DAUGHTERS SUITORS.
biblical Recorder

Whether the mothers of Catlin, Illi-
nois, attain great success or not in
the new Mothers Protective ~associa-
ton WHICH they have formed, they are
certainly to be commended for their
effort to protect their daughters
through investigation of the standing
character of suitors. According to re-
port the following is a list of the
points on which the members of the
association will seek enlightenment
when a sutton appears:
Does he smoke cigarettes? Does
he drink? Is he known to be profane
or vulgar? Dues he read good books?
Does he go to church and Sunday
school? Does he spend his evenings
at home or in saloons? Is he consid-
crate of his mothers and sisters?
Certinly every young man ought to
measure up to these standards, wheth-
er the material eye of his best girl"
is vigilant or not.

BLUE SKY is OFF.
North Carolina VIII no Longer Work
COnVicts for Railroad Stock. .
(Everything.)

(Everything.)
Most men will be glad to know that
the governor of the state and his
council have decided that NJ more
convict labor will be furnished to
build railroads for private individuals,
the corporation giving stock in ex-
change for labor. This kind of bust
ness went on for a long time in North
Carolina, and the state owns reams
of blue sky-beautifully Autographed
stock certifcates-paid for by the
blood and sweat of men who we're re.
strained by society.
We are glad that Governor Craig
and his council have decided that there
will be no more of this sort of fool
ishness. There are eighteen convicts
working on the railroad from North
W~ilkesboro to Boone, and they will
remain because they have been con-
tracted. But despite the earnest pleas
of those interested, the Governor fatty
refused to enter into any further con
tracts. If the railroad companies are
hard pushed and want to employ con
vict labor at a decent wage it would
be all right to hire them out-provid-
ed free labor could not be obtained,
but the State has no moral right to
hunt men down and put them in
stripes, and then give their labor for
stock in a railroad company-when
the stock has no real value.
The time is coming in this state
when the convict will be given en-
ployment and a part of his wage will
go to the innocent children he has left
behind-children dependent on his
labor for their bread and meat-and
the wife, who has been left with brok-
en- heart-innocent of all crime, will
certainly be allowed to share a part of
her husbands earnings.
We must get back from the days of
cruelty and savagery. Society must
restrain it's vicious-it is a price that
society must pay because the protec-
ton is only for itself-but there is no
reason why society can say that limo
Get people must suffer when the hus-
band is still at work. If he becomes
vicious that he must be put entirely
out of the way, then that is the for
tune of war. But while he lives and
labors there may be hope at home that
he will return a better man-there
may be hope in prison that he will be
a better man if we give him anything |
in Gods world for which he may hope.

The policemen crawled through the narrow, smoke-filled halls on their hands and knees and Officer Joseph T Coughlin brought out a little child from the top floor.
 The fire started from a peanut roaster in the cellar directly underneath the room where the dead meu slept. The loss was $l ,000.

 Resolved; That the Bridgeport Busi. ness Mems Association regards with proper respect the high aim of the government of the United States to Iegislate Tn the interest of the whole people in their relations to corporations and believes it is the purpose of those in charge of such affairs to deal justly and fairly.
 Resolved That this Board is of the opinion, however, that ill the case of the New York. New Haven 6 Hartford Railroad and the segregation of it's vari- ous lines, questions are involved which demand the protection of the great in- dustries of New England and we believe further that the season of hysteria should be superseded by a period of calm, earnest, conscientious and thought fnl reflection and halt ill the proceed. ings demanded until the New Haven reads affairs and it's relations with the business interests of New England can be properly assimilated and justly de- termined.
 Resolved That this Board convey to the Attorney General of the United States a copy of their resolutions and join with other institutions in their re- quest for suspension of final adjudica- tions until the true meaning of such regulations or orders as may be lm- proved can be properly judged from the standpoint of the road itself, it's stock holders and the interest in New England which 1t serves.
