THEATERS
AT THE OLIVER.

Historical. Industrial, civic and
commercial celebration have been
pictured in the Lincoln highway
film. which will be shown at the
oliver next Friday afternoon and
evening. Interesting pictures along
the 3,4OO miles of the Lincoln high
way between New York and San
Francisco are clearly pictured in the
films TO be shown here.
The portion relating to South
Bend and vicinity features the We
hicle pageant taken in connection
with the Barnum and Bailey circus
parade last June. Many other in
teresting scenes throughout the city
on the route of the highway are
shown, and many South Bend peo-
pie are prominent in the views.
Almost Immediately upon leaving
New York interesting historic points
are passed. The Delaware is cross
ed not far from the point where
Washington embarked his tattered
host on their perilOus course amid
the floating blocks of ice. The film
journey across Pennsylvania runs
like a page from the nations most
thrilling history. In Paoh, near
Philadelphia. the road runs but a
step from Valley Forge. where
WashingtOn's troops spent the aw
fUl winter of 1873.
The Lincoln highway film is not
only intensely interesting but won
derfully instructive. The picture is
shown under the auspices Of the
Chamber Of Commerce.

House Aro,,ses Jealousy

President Wilson's dispatch OF his
close friend and sponsor, Col. E. M.
House. to Europe on Special mis-
sion" at government expenses, has
aroused much disapprobation and
some jealousy In the party. Has the
president authority to send abroad
special representatives and to dele
gate to them authority over ambassa-
doris and ministers who have been
confirmed by the Senate and Its ap-
proval OF such representative? Why
should President Wilson regard a
man, whom he has chosen without
"the advice and consent Of the Sen
ate," as more competent to do the
work of properly appointed diplomat
ic representatives than those who
have been SO appointed?
With duly confirmed ambassadors
and ministers and their suites In ey-
cry foreign capital, what right or
reason has Mr.. Wilson to give his
friend, Colonel House, at government
expense, so delightful trip when 1t

field, Colored, by Judge
Raymond Maxwell.
(By Raymond Maxwell


By the recent death Of Burl Dan
gerfield, Clarksburg has lost a use
full citizen. OF his early life the
writer knows but little except that
he was born a slave and spent his
boyhood in bondage. Despite this
disadvantage, however, he acquired
and exemplifed in his daily life those
sterling qualities which proclaim the
man. He was the embodiment OF
honor; he was courteous and modest,
not given to much talking. AS a
church member he took much inter
est in the affairs of his church and IN
religious matters generally.
Faithfulness and dependability
were predominant characteristics OF
his life. Always industrious. he Lad
no trouble in securing constant EN-
ployment, and to the tasks which he
undertook, though tedious and irk-
some, he gave his best energy with a
constancy of splendid type. Through
winter and summer, sunshine and
rain he plodded his way with GER
tainty and regularity.
He has lived his life in modest and
unpretentious fashion-the simple
life perhaps it might be called-and
in SO living he has brought credit to
his race and has set an example well
worthy the emulation Of all.

Plague In Mexico.

The refusal of Carranza to permit
the American Red Cross to send It's
representatives into Mexico to check
the ravages OF the typhus plague
which threatens to decimate that un-
fortunate country, and even TO
spread, to some extent, to the unitea
States. is characteristic Of the man

insurgents in the expectation OF arms
and ammunition could ever have
made 1t possible for Carranza 10 DE-
come president Of Mexico.
Carranza's opposition to the Red
Gross is due to the fact that RED
Cross agents told the truth regard
ing the suffering and starvation IN
Mexico City at a time when Carranza
was officially reporting to this gov,
eminent that NO such starvation and
want existed. Furthermore, the re-
ports of the Red Cross agents, whose

Tlnulty Stirs Up HornetsI Nest.
Joseph ]. Tumulty, secretary to
the president, who has done really
clever work in exploiting for political
purposes the foreign relations of the
United States, has made q serious
blunder by his letter attempting TO
belittle the persecution of Catholics
in Mexico. He has, In fact, stirred
up a hornets nest.
Mr.. Tumulty declared that there
was in the state department no Of
fetal record of such persecution,
but his assertion Immediately led to
the suspicion that the records of that
department had been tempered with
and that when evidence Of this char
acter had been presented 1t had been
rejected. Even the New York World.
til newspaper closest to the present
administration and which enjoys pc
culiar facilities for obtaining inside
information, has printed numerous
affidavits, all amply substantiated,
and witnessed by American army Of
ficers and others, setting forth that
literally thousands Of nuns have been
taken from their converts. outraged
and subjected to unspeakable atroci-
ties by Carranza's troops, that many
Of them have or are about to become
mothers as a result of their treat
ment, that Carranza's officers and
men have violated Catholic churches,
desecrated their affairs and robbed
and murdered the priests. So con-
elusive is the evidence presented by
the World that 1t leaves no room for
doubt.
AS Mr.. Tumulty is himself Cath
! Ollie, he evidently expected that his
! letter would carry weight with Cath
! olics. Instead, 1t has merely gained
for him what those Of his own faith
I the approbrious term professional
: Catholic-meaning one who seeks to
use his religion for political or bust
, ness purposes-and instead of ac-
quitting the president OF promoting
the cause of a political party notable
for its religious persecution, 1t has
convicted the president Of inexcusable
ignorance of conditions in Mexico
or of objectionable indifference.

self, or oven to confde his intentions
to his close friends and colleagues, Is
lending impetus TO the antl-Wilson
sentiment In his party. A week ago
opposition to Mr.. Wilson's renomina-
ton appeared to be confined to the
Bryan wing Of the party, but within
the last week many friends Of Champ
Clark have manifested their opposition
to Mr.. Wilson, and from the speakers
home comes word that an energetic
Clark boom Is being engineered and
that CLARK for President" club has
been organized in New York. 1t is
commended, moreover, that this move
ment has the taclt, II not the open,
approval Of Mr.. Clark, and 1t Is pre-
dicted that 1t will assume formidable
proportions before the national con-
vention meets.
Those who witnessed the bitterness
between the Bryanites and the Clark
ties at the last Democratic national
convention were convinced there could
never be peace between them, but
politics makes strange bedfellows and
so thoroughly are many OF the Bryan
ties now opposed to Mr.. Wilson that
they are giving evidence of DISPOSE
ton to make up with the speaker
rather than incur the risk of an over
whelming defeat OF the Democratic
party because of Mr.. Wilson's per-
sonal weakness.
The opposition to the president gives
promise of manifesting itself In Con-
gress first. The prospects are that
some Of his nominations will be sub
jected to an opposition quite new to
the Democratic majority in the SEN
ate, and that in both houses of Con
gress his pet legislative measures Will
encounter storms and vicissitudes
wholly at variance with the plain sail
ing which has been accorded them
heretofore. For this reason the session
of Congress following the holiday re-
cess is bound to be replete with in

Hundreds began to assemble Mt

hour before the service was scheduled
to begin. Many Of them had heard
the evangelist before, and wanted to
hear him again: others had heard

take advantage Of the opportunity to
hear him. The church was packed
before Evangelist Baggett started his
sermon, and many were turned away.
The sermon was a masterpiece Of pull
