ers Released by
Boyle.

Boyle's Yannigans and Jerrigans
battIed seven innings to a siX-noth1ng
victory for the Jerrigans at the ball
park yesterday afternoon, the initial
practice game OF the season. The
performance was to have been dupli-
Gated this afternoon and chances OF
seeing some of the new men in ac-
ton brought out goodly number of
bugs.
But two days remained after the
workout this afternoon for the men
tc get in shape for the game with
Quincy here Sunday afternoon. Frank
IS getting a good line on the men
who have reported and expects all
those he has signed, with the excep-
ton of Geib and Kelley to be here
by Sunday. he will use as many
men as possible in the Sunday game.
Geib will not report until the
nineteenth, he wrote Frank several
days ago. In letter received from
Kelley last night, the Chicago young
ster said he would come at once pro-
viding he could dodge serving as
witness in a street railway accident
case.
Two men were cut loose yesterday,
Heinz, an infielder, and Da.-. a pitch
er Day was a semi-pro of but little
experience. His size counted against
him. He came from Dale, Indiana,
the home of Ed VAIL.
McCulIoch Arrives.
r. z. McCu1loch, one of the two
men retained from last years team,
pulled in from Denver last night and
went to work at the park early this
morning.
Never felt better in my life said
Mack before leaving for the park.
McCulloch was on clutches for for
tv-five days last winter after his feet
had been scalded in sugar refinery
in Colorado, but Mack says they are
all right now and will give him no
trouble. He looks to be and says he
is in the best kind Of condition and
believes few days will put him In
condition for regular work.
Mack is one of the men here whom
Boyle believes in. Frank thinks there
is place higher up in baseball for
the curve ball artist and that this is
his year to start up Boyle has said
repeatedly that Mack was far and
away the best curve ball pitcher in
the league last year. He probably
will get in action in few innings of
the game with Quincy here Sunday.
Charles Hollocher, Tod Harding,
and Bobbie Roberts We're other arriv-
ais yesterday and last night. Hollo-

was claimed by Bloomington last win

shops and factories-have large FAM
lilies and God provides for them" but
from our viewpoint at least, it is about
time that they be allowed a little more
OF a chance TO provide for themselves.
They haven't been provided for so all
fired well that Gods clergy need grow
jealous Of their Master being deprived
of any Of the glory. ON the contrary,
il seems 20 us that in many cases it
is Satan that is doing the providing
for these large families, and through
starvation and environment, leading
them through vice and crime. to an
eternity of Hell,-instead of TO the
Heaven that "A wise economy might
provide.
We will concede for the sake of old
times that Col. Roosevelt advanced
the right theory. and FIR. Carroll has
confirmed it, but it is "a condition, not
a theory. that these poor people with
large families are up against. They
may get along somehow" as the
colonel put ii, and Somehow" is about
right, but it does not necessarily imply
anything like an equal chance in the
race of life. We have noticed too.
and this repeatedly, that while the
faithful have been trusting God to
provide, it is the "indolent, self-indul-
gent women" wives of the men who
should permit self-providing instead,
who, along with their husbands, are
constantly reaping more and more
of the rewards of those poor peoples
and their children's only semi-reward-
ed labor.
Wen take a stand for large fam
lilies, whether for rich or poor, along
with the next one, but we want that
next one TO take a stand with Us that
the children of those families shall
have a chance 10 become men and
women. and not mere slaves, when
they happen to be among the families
of the poor. Mothers ought not to be
the like of wooden mills" nor homes
like stock farms" but unfortunately
they are, in all too many cases, and ii
is Re who is willing 10 let God do all
the providing for them. who in reality
is pleading the cause of the "indolent'
and self-indulgent," and this though

UNGRATEFL AMERICANS.
(BristOl Herald-Courier.)


Secretary McAdOo's announcement
that the treasury department Will be
compelled TO enter suit to recover
some OF the money advanced to
Americans caught abroad at the out
break OF the European war is humil-
iating TO the American people.
When the war began, thousands of
Americans were visiting and touring
the countries of Europe, and their
situation soon became desperate. They
could not return home. and by rea-
son OF their enforced stay their funds
were rapidly exhausted. Many OF
them were not financially able 10 meet
this extra expense, and even those
who could command money in Amer
lea could not get il. Then came an
appeal TO the home government for
help. and the home government gen.
erOusly advanced the necessary funds
and arranged for the safe return OF
the stranded tourists.
And now many of these Americans
ARE refusing 10 reimburse the govern
ment, thus forcing the treasury de-
partment 10 enter suit TO recover the
money advanced them.

WHY a LIE PERSISTS.

Y tlllOl OldLG ddLGlAtsJ
If the question is asked why a lie
persists, it is because certain people
want 10 believe il. All the stories we
terrible war are believed by partisans
because they wish to accept them as
truth.
The lie well told is soothing TO
their prejudices and sympathies, says
are certain minds which like to hear
and believe that Voltaire shrieked
pitifully upon his death-bed. They
like TO be able to say: See what
atheism brings a man to-" These
people do not know that VOltaire was
never an atheist, but that he lived
and died deist.
They do not know that Noltaire-
an old man of hty-fOur-OvertaXed
his strength when he entered Paris
after his long exile, when the whole
city turned out to greet him and gave
him a grand welcome. They do not
know that almost the last words ut
tered by his lips were: L die wor-
shipping God, loving my friends, not
hating my enemies, but detesting all
superstition"
There were atheists in NOltaire' S
day and the most noted among them
was Diderot, but no story was told of
any horrible scenes being enacted
when he died. The reason why they
were told of Noltaire and not of
Diderot is plain. DiderOt was merely
scholar of whom the people knew
little, while Voltaire had become a
well-known public character. Scan
dal loves a shining mark.

IN JUSTICE TO UNION LABOR.

1t develops that the strike in the
war munitions plant at Bridgeport,
Conn, was ordered simply to secure
an eight-hOur day for those engaged
in that industry. No connection be-
tween the strikers and mysterious
agents of any foreign government
seems TO have been shown. But the
charge that certain labor leaders re-
ceived money from somebody to
bring on the strike has not been ser
iously denied.
This Is a matter quite as serious as
the alleged Vaccinations of foreign
agents in our domestic problems
American labor cannot afford To per-
NIT the charge Of venality 10 be at
tached TO its leaders. Enemies of or

and paid for by the purchase Of Ia
Dor leaders TO justify their refusal TO
grant any concessions whatever.

"HYPOCRITEs. =

Not that there was anything SO very
wrong about the Love" scene in the
photoplay, "Hypocrites," at the La
sale early this week. but because it
was slipped in after Mayor Keller's
censor committee had passed favora-
bly, upon the remainder of the show,
is the reason given for suppressing
the entertainment yesterday. The the
alter management admits the insertion.
1t is ample excuse for the action. 1t
