Blakelock Out of ASYLUM

Ralph Albert Blakelock, the land
scape artist, who for seventeen years
has been in an insane asylum, at last
has six months in which to prove his
sanity, and told his liberators this week
that he would speedily paint his way
back to freedom despite his seventy
years. 1t is believed by those inter-
ested in his liberation that Blakelock
Is sane and that his art, forsaken in
the long years he was in the asylum.
will convince the world that he is not
demented. While he will be under OBJ
servation at the sanatorfum to which
he has been transferred. he will have
every facility for work,
Blakelock hopes to paint such a pic
ture as he believed is expected of him
because Of his election to the National
Academy of Design last year. 1t Is
probably that landscape along the Hud- :
son will be his subject.

Slogans Past

Hughes has raised the standard of
America first and America efficient"
Thank God For Wilson" Is the answer
of the Democrats. But compare these
keynotes with the campaign slogans of
yesterday. .
AT the approach of every national
campaign" writes "Zim." in Cartoons
Magazine, "the cartoonist casts about
for a symbol or some suitable mode of
attacking the political foe or uplifting
his own candidate. Thus Bernhard Gill
lam's famous 'Tattooed Man defeated
James G. Blaine. 1t was a cartoon like
wise that returned William Mckinley
to the White House. This was Grant
E. Hamilton's Full Dinner Pail' car
toon. and the Full Dinner PAIL was
taken up as campaign slogan.
so popularH in fact. was this novelty
that both Mark Hanna and William Nc
Kinley, after election, complimented
Hamilton for his great work in the
campaign and declared that the dinner
pail idea, more than Mark Hanna's
campaign management. secured for Mr..
Mckinley the Presidency of the United
States. The public at large is not al
ways aware of what happens behind the
scenes in newspaper office, for IL 1t
were. 1t might have seen a novel pre-
sentation of a mammoth tin Ginner pail
filled with tobacco, wines and cigars to
one Hamilton, as token of love and in
recognition of his ingenuity. The Full
Dinner PAIL will go down in political
cartoon history as one of the greatest
hits because 1t spoke the truth and
added a clean and inoffensive element
to the campaign"

MEMS CONVENTION TO BE HELD
HERE HAS. GREAT POSSIBILITIES

from such a gathering when the pent-
up powers of truth are set free. We
know that single facts have trans
formed lives, given birth to great and
mighty movements in the church and
nation, and from the platform of this
convention will be presented the truth,
the truth as to our condition, our needs.
our possibilities. This with the up-
lifting Of the Christ, who will draw
all men unto Himself if uplifted, will
send men forth emancipated by the
truth, girded by the Nazarene, to live
and to serve.
Then I love to think of this con-
ventlon as a convention of the Metho-
dist Zen of Pennsylvania The men
VINO have had part in the building of
our church in every city, town, viii
lage, hamlet. country crossroad in this
ralr state. The men who have assisted
In building our membership into
nearly half a million in Pennsylvania;
who contribute for local support and
benevolent work throughout the world
hundreds of thousands of dollars an
nually; who work for the Master and
humanity in stately cathedral, college
center. noble church, humble meeting
house and mission station, Methodist
Men of enrsylvania. The fair State
smiled upon by our Creator as He
gave us fertile valleys, mountains of
coal and ore-the home of noble men
and women-within whose borders
nearly every language is spoken-and
nearly every problem confronting the
church in home mission work must be
solved. Is it too much to think of
this convention in its possibilities help
ing to save the Keystone State and
helping thus because of her problems
to save the world?
One thing more. This convention,
born in prayer, prayer that will arise
from honest hearts all over the State
dominated by men who have access to
the throne Of grace; irresistible forces
of the kingdom will be poured out
upon delegates and through them upon
all the Methodist churches, until the
mind staggers under the conception
OF the possibilities of this gathering
l for our State and Church.

Deer Season Cancelled

For two years, beginning December
1, there will be a closed season for
deer in Columbia county. with a
likelihood that the season will also be
closed in Sullivan and Wyoming coun-
ties. Deer in the three counties are
numerous this year. anJ it is to al
low the number to greatly increase
that the season has been closed
A number OF Columbia county men
petitioned the State Game Commits
sion to close the season here, and no
exceptions to the petition were filed
The hearing was set for Friday, and
when no exceptions appeared the
season was ordered closed.
1t is likely the season will also be
closed in Sullivan and Wyoming coun-
ties as the sentiment generally in
those counties is against an open sea-
son until the deer placed on the big
game preserve on the North Mountain
increase sufficiently to permit hunting.
The deer placed on the preserve are
thriving and many of them have
made their way out of the preserve,
and are roaming the woods in Sulli-
van, Wyoming and Northern Colum-
bia counties.-Montour American.
