Railroad Builder
To Send Coast Grew
To East Next Year

New York, July l5.-Announce-
ment that wealthy railroad con-
structor Of Seattle has engaged to
finance a trip of the University Of
Washington crew to Poughkeepsie
next summer 10 an outcome prima-
rily OF the success Of Washington
crews against Stanford and Califor-
MIA in the spring regattas on the west
coast. Also, the report of Hiram
Connibear, the Washington coach,
who attended both the Hudson and
Thames regattas, may have had
something to do with the matter.
Connibear saw nothing in the work
OF any of the eights to impress him
with a sense Of the superiority Of the
eastern crews over his boatload Of
huskies; at least, his general atti-
tude, II not his words, impressed
those who met him in this way. Con-
nibear came to the Atlantic seaboard
with manifest intention of supple
menting his knowledge of rowing,
and now he is attending the Harvard
summer school of coaches in order
to increase his knowledge of scienti-
hc conditioning.
OF Stanford much is seen to inter-
est one when the Palo Altans rowed
at Poughkeepsie In 1915; the crew
did not know a great deal about row.
ing, but they had the sheer brute
strength to impose upon a polished
and powerful Cornell eight the very
year Of endeavor. As Washington
this year defeated practically the
same Stanford crew that rowed on
the Hudson two seasons ago, defeat
ed them by several lengths over a
three emile course, there is little
reason to doubt that the men Of Seat
tie would have made creditable
showing at Poughkeepsie this year,
and probably will do so in 1917, since
most Of the oarsmen Of this years
crew are retained. The cost of the
journey to the Hudson Is estimated
at $4,000, and this sum, as said, will
be advanced by . railroad builder,
Horace c. Henry.

has not declared himself upon the
question of Roman Catholicism,
and 1t is too important matter
to take chances on. Mr.. Knott
has made a good official in the
various positions of trust and
honor which he has filled-but
that is not enough for this organi-
zatlon under existing circum-.
stances. They must know where
a candidate stands on this all-im-
portant question, and until they
know this, neither he nor any
other candidate has ghost of a
show of their support. 1t is more
important to know this than their
position upon any other public
policy that affects the interests
of the great commonwealth of
Florida.
ct is no secret that the "fne
Italian hand" of the Pope is too
clearly manifest in the govern
mental transactions at the nation
al capital, and that President
Wilson is entirely too subserv-
lent to Papal influence in the dis
charge of his duties as chief ex-
ecutive of this great nation
Neither is it unknown to any that
the Roman Catholic church is an
uncompromising enemy to all
Protestant churches, our free
schools, our marriage rite, our
benevolent orders, and every
thing else which goes to make up
the glory of this nation and
which the Pope of Rome cannot
dominate. What better evidence
could anyone ask or need to con-
vince them that this church is a
dangerous foe to true American
principles and that anyone domi-
lated by it must be the same?"

The prune in its fresh state is q
beautiful blush plum, either lus,
ciously sweet or tartly sweet, ac-
cording to the variety. The very
sweet are the French and the tart
the italian and German. While any
variety Of plum having the requi-
site amount of sugar and solids will
make a prune, the great mass of
production is confined to the varie-
ties above named. California is the
home of the prune in America, al
though large quantities are now
produced in Oregon and Washing
ton. But it is the climate of Cali
fornia, with its dry, rainless sum-

that makes it ideal both for produc-

"In assuming this, Brother Jor-

THAT SECRET POLITICAL So
CIETY
Attitude and Policy Explained by
the Tampa Organ

We take it that the Peninsula
Breeze, a weekly newspaper pub
lished in Tampa, is the organ of
the secret political society about
which so much is being said and
printed. AT any rate, it assumes
to speak with authority. That
the pubic, therefore, may under
stand the attitude and objects of
the society, we print in full be-
low a leading article clipped
from the Breeze of the 9th inst,
which is headed editor Jordan
Alarmed" 1t is given solely for
information, not for endorsement
by this paper. 1t is desired that
the people become fully informed
as to the views and objects of this
secret organization, one of which
is to make Mr.. Cats governor.
1t is this gubernatorial policy
to which The Herald strenuously
objects, for which it has good
and sufficient reasons.
AS to the alleged political activ-
ity of the Roman Catholic church,
we know nothing. Bishop Cur
ley, an eminent prelate of that
church, made a splendid speech
in Key West West week or two
ago, in which he emphatically de
MED all the charges of undue po-
litical activity made against his
church, and he certainly ought
Ito know. Why should not we be-
'lieve him as well as a minister of
any other denominationY
But here is the article from the
Peninsula Breeze; it is very in
teresting:-
editor Jordan, of the Punta
Gorda Herald, appears to be
greatly exercised over the exist
ence of an Anti-Oatholic organi-
zation in Florida, and devotes
two columns of editorial space in
the issue of the Herald Of Decem-
Der 30th in sounding a note Of
warning to the public of the seri-
Gus political situation in this
State, due to the presence Of this
organization.
"Iis worst fear appears to
grow out of the strong probabili-
ty of the election of Hon. Sidney
j. Cats as Governor of Florida.
Brother Jordan says that
there are very probably 10000
members of this organization in
Florida, all of whom will vote sol
idly for Mr.. Cats, and that he
would regard his election as moth
ing short of a public calamity.
To this number of voters he adds
the 1000 fishermen s votes, and
believes that these facts bring a
bout a serious political situation
in Florida which it would be folly |
to attempt to ignore or underes-
innate.
Furthermore, Brother Jordan
believes that this organization
will make war upon the Democra-
tic party in the coming campaign.

LEWISTON HIGH
TAKES GAME FROM
HALLOWELL HIGH

The opening game in the Bowdoin
lnterscholastic League series was
played on the Muster grounds at $50
o'clock Wednesday afternoon before a
small attendance. Hallowell High
crossed bats with the strong Lewiston
High team and went down in defeat,
being able to tally but one run agains:
six made by the visitors. Johnson for
Hallowell High pitched what should
have been a winning game, striking
out 10 men and allowing but four
scattered hits. Poor support with cost
~ errors and inability to hit safely at
critical moments cost the local boys
the game. Lewiston scored three runs
in the first half of the second inning
due to poor fielding with the bases
full. HalloWell then frightened up and
held the visitors from scoring until the
ninth inning, when three more runs
were added by Lewiston High. Fish
and Runnells for Hallowell each got
two hits and McSherry for Lewiston
High got two of the four hits made off
johnson. William Holt of Bowdoin
College officiated as umpire in sat
isfactOry manner.
