SUNDAY ADJUSTMENTS"
TCsSsr pan;6S pa,,,,trio,


Do you believe in Sunday amuse-
ments, them one man asked Of an
other the other day. Why, certainly
ne does, and so do you. il you will just
scrape the pretense from yourself and
stand revealed as You are. or If you
stop 20 think about it, at ALL
One day last summer We remember,
We met noted divine riding COM
fortably in a big automobile. His host
was taking him on a jaunt thru the
beautiful autumn scenery. He seemed
much pleased and said he was reel"
delighted. His host was spending
about 10 cents a mile to show his
clerical guest some beautiful pictures
Of nature. How could that man stand
up in his pulpit IN the evening after
and say that the poor man who has no
automobile and who has no rich friends
TO take him out into the country, shall
not take himself and his wife, or
sweetheart and for the price OF 10
cents an hour-instead of 10 cents a
mileIook at pictures? What right,
we repeat, had he to deny him what
! Amusement" he can find in those like
nesses of men and women and Of the
/ beautiful nature that our clerical friend
saw at cost Of 10 cents a mile, paid
| for by his host?
! Il is preposterous to argue along
such lines. There are some rights that
belong TO human beings that not even
religion ought to take away.
| OF course IL the amusements are
evil. well then they ought not to be
allowed on week days either. Christ
himself preached some of His best
isermons on week days and He rebuked
!severely the scribes and Pharisees for
telling Him that certain things He
should not do on the Sabbath-which lie
mot our Sunday at all. Our Sunday is
lsimply convenient day set aside by

William II. On His Birthday.

On his 57th birthday, William II.
finds himself more than ever, in uieon
with his people. He is the living gym
boil Of Germany. There can be no
doubt that the kaiser Is the greatest as
well as the most picturesque character
in the world. In his long and peaceful
reign he has exhibited many splendid
qualities. This crisis, however, has
revealed a new phase Of his character
Ibis marvellous seif-restraint. He has
deliberately efiaced his personality. He
has not yielded to the natural im-
pulse Of any ruler to make triumphai
entry into Warsaw. Or to visit his ally
in Sofia or Constantinople, with all
the pomp that is Caesars. A grey

AS TO ''NIPS" AND 'FIOOKERS,"
IEnrnhnlit Republican

Some OF those who Axe a nip Of
liquor on the side are Complaining
Most bitterly because the friends of
prohibition are shooting at the abso-
lutte prohibition mark They denounce
the desire 10 prevent any men from
obtaining liquor for moderate use
Now there is no use denying that there
are many people who can use LIQUOR
IN moderation but how are you going
TO make it legal for one man 10 use
liquor and another not to use liquor?
Are we not all free and equal under
the starry banner? Have we any class
legislation II there is a mysterious
hokus pokus whereby Bill Jones can
buy and drink booze while John Smith
can not? II would be just as reason
able TO suppose that men of learning
would be licensed to kill. because II
would be supposed that they would
know when TO kill wisely and in mod
Grafton. II would be a glorious plan
until some son-of-a- gun with murder
in hig heart got hold OF a license OF
course we know there are some old
topers who VIII drink or die, or both,
and they Will have 10 be allowed their
way. But the sale OF liquor should
be prohibited, and prohibition rigidly
enforced.

PENNSY PREPARES
Bob Folwell Sends Charges Through
Scrimmage and Long Tackling
Drill,

Pasadena, Cal, Dec. 30.-Penn's
football warriors worked yesterday at
Rose Tournament Park, where Mon
days gridiron battle with the Uni
versity of Oregon team will be waged
on New Years Day. Coach Folwell
put his men through some stiff prac-
tice in a light rain this afternoon, the
work including some scrimmaging
and an unusually long tackling prac-
tice.
Folwell is decidedly pleased with
the condition of his men and also the
condition of the weather here. There
is still some hopes that Urquhart will
be able, to get in some part of the
game on Monday, but it does not look
as if he will be able to play at all,
and Yesterday Crane worked at left
end.
There was considerable kicking
done by the entire squad in the aft
ernoons practice. Quigley lifted
seven straight multiple kicks over the
bar, and the crowd which watched
the Quakers practice marveled at the
skill displayed by this husky Red and
Blue warrior.
California experts rather favor
Penn, but think that Oregon has
good chance to win. What betting
has been done so far favors Penn at
10 to 9. Those who favor the west
ern eleven are betting on their stay
ing qualities. The Oregon team is
noted for it's ability to fight to the
last minute, and Penn will have to
play all the time.
The Red and Blue delegation Wis
tied a moving picture studio in the
morning and was filmed and after
ward went on a sightseeing tour
They were warmly greeted every
where. The social activities of the
Oregon players are more subdued
than PENIS and their training rules
more strict.
Both teams practiced again today
and the work included the same rou-
tine that was in order yesterday.
