who ought to live. And as wars have never settled anything except demon strate which side have the strongest armies, we should try and discover some better way to make life more secure and enable every child of the Infinite to realize himself or herself to the full extent of their powers. Lin coin said, T always planted a rose where l thought a rose would grow" This is only another way of saying the same thing that Jesus said. Only those who have tasted life to the full can give others a hint of what life has in store. The great law of compen- saton insures us that we get out of life what we put into it. Our great business is to put as much into life as it is in our powers to do and thus do our part in cooperating with the Infinite Experimenter in working out the great evolving plan. At best, from the cradle to the grave is but a short trip and it is a sin not to make the best of our time. Live here and now the best we can, and if there is more. like birth and death we will all share it and have plenty of time to do it.

The Next Liberty Loan

Get your pocket book ready. The Liberty Loan will be offered on October l. The nation s3 900 900 900 must have it. and will have it. We a loan 900 900 900 recently with some difficulty The country had the money but used to buying bonds so that subscriptions at first slow Toward the last the people showed the effect of a hurried education in bond buying and offerings were brisker with the result that there oversubscripton.
 There is phase the case that should not be overlooked and that is that to the man who can afford to buy liberty bond there will be no other way in which he can easily to himself perform the duty which will be required of him he will somehow perform that duty.
 The government is going to get the money If 1t can net get it from popular subscriptions. it will qured snay be raised by increased taxation already burdensoroe in which event the money of the man "ao might have bought Liberty bond will be shaken bim forever Or the banks may take the Liberty oonds paying for them the countrys accumulated capital in which there will little left for expansion, rehabilitation and that event the country will be brought hto state of stagnation in which all will suffer; from the poorest to the richest GS
 If the money for the bbndssis derived from cur rent savings and it will be SO derived if the bonds are disposed of by popular Subscriptions accumulated capital will be left free to carry on the peaceful business of the country. but in case there is not enough money for business and peaceful busi- ness the latter which the present important must halt and wait business.
 Current savings, it may be urged make up ac- cumulated capital therefore current savings may be made to take the place of accumulated capital diverted to war purposes dollar is as good as another. But take into account that cur rent savings are not easily collected; there are no current savings unless there incentive to save The money which becomes current savings is dis sipaed in variety of directions and though it is ulti- matey collected in fewer hands it's progress toward accumulated. available capital is slow
 In view of all these things and especially in view of the fact that the money must somehow be raised, the who is able to buy a Liberty bond cannot afford not to buy it.

The End of a Farce

That the federal child labor law would not stand the test of assault upon it was known when 1t was enacted and presume that the ad- mnistration and congress had full knowledge of that In the administration and congress there is per- haps majority of men who supposed to have knowledge of elementary law at least It was evil dently not intended that the law should be of any benefit to society, that would remove a single child in all the United States from more or less grueling labor The law was enacted on the eve of campaign at the close which votes would be needed
 Some members voted for it hoping for votes in return. Others knowing well that the law could be of effect for it from pure sentiment believing that there ought to be some way to stop child labor, even if there could be no such a way chosen by congress. But out of crass gnor- ance voted for it, for there many ridiculousy ignorant men in congress just are in almost any state legislature
 There were probably very few members who did not know that congerss could not directly mass law to prohibit child labor in state for that is legisla tion for the state alone. Congress could no more enact law to prevent child labor in North Caro- Una than South Carolina could do so Yet congress sought indirectly so or rather to make people think at least until election had done so bv prohibiting transportation in interstate commerce of

Arizona State Prison, Florence,

Arizona State Prison, Florence,
 August 30, 1sl7 Editor Arizona Republican, Dear Sir:
 do not know how to express the feeling, but it may be possible for you to put yourself in the other fellows place. Just imagine LOW you would feel if you had been convicted of a crime and sent to the penitentiary and when you are pardoned or paroled the {. newspapers publish your name, your prison number and a brief history Of your case.
 Do you think that is Q fair way to encourage a man to face the world again?
 The statement in The Republican ol August a9. about the emptiness of the state prison, need not worry the tax payer because the few that go out at the rare meetings of the board of par dons and paroles, most all have done more time then their minimum calls for, unless they have someone pulling l for them on the outside, besides the attorney general is a member of the 1 board.

NEED OF TRAINED FARMERS
1.-The Country Gentleman)


 Dean Curtiss, of Iowa State College who was re- gently in Canada, says that the countrys agriculture will be badly affected by the withdrawal of men from agricultural colleges and the failure of others to enter There never was time when there was such a demand for men with thorough training in agrcul ture. in Canada and in the United States" Dean Curtiss. They needed to lead the way in getting the out of the soil; they needed in laboratories and at experiment stations to work out difficult farming problems; they needed in schools and colleges to teach. These days distinctivey the days of science. and properly trained are going find more to do than If >Soft by Canadas experience will not let colleges be emptied; we'll fill them with stu dents than ever"

 But to quiet this opposition from the South and party solidarity for the legislation could not be fully effective for political if it. did not appear to be a party measure some absurd amendments made in favor of certain pro- ducts of child labor peculiar to the southern states

LOCAL BALL TOSSERS QUIT
ON UMPIRE'S BAD DECISION

The infallibility of an umpire of a
ball game has often been questioned
and defeat or victory frequently hing
es upon his decision of a play in a
close contest. The best of umpires
err. That is a fact. 1t may be an
error of judgment or an error from
seeing plays from a different angle
other than that of a person paying to
see the game. In either Ease the tide
of victory may flow in the wrong
channel.
In last Tuesdays game between our
Pleasantville boys and Bacharach
Giants played in Atlantic City, the
umpire was known to err. He may
have given the decision as he saw it,
but his business is to. see things as
they happen and not be governed by
an illusion. 1t vas plain to all, who
were seated or standing nearer the
play than was the umpire, that the
ball in question: fair ball-having
hit the plate, which is always fair ter
ritory, rebounded and struck White,
the batter, thereby putting him out
automatically. The umpire from his
position between the pitcher and sec
ond base could not see that the ball
had hit White, but it was plain to
everyone else that it had. The UNI
pire's decision came as a shock when
he failed to declare the man out.
1t was at his point Manager Risley
of the Pleasantville team, governed
by the attitude of the hundreds there
to see the game, put in a protest in
an endeavor to have the verdict given
according to the play. The umpire
xx-Ol1ld nnt 1Stnn 70 thn nnnn1a ny Man
ager Risley and ruled that the man
was safe. This dissatisfied the spec
tators as they wanted the game play
ed upon a clean unbiased basis. They
were perfectly satisfied that the Pleas
antville team had been the recipient
of an injustice and did not blame
Manager Risley when he called his
team from the field.
Pleasantville had Bacharach by 10
and had a fair chance of winning, as
there was only one inning more to
play. One Philadelphia paper gave
Pleasantville the game, showing that
they deserved a victory.
We might give Bacharach a good
hint relative to their umpiring that
might keep down disagreeable occur
rences in the future. Have two UNI
pires in a game. This would put a
mar back of the plate and one on the
bases. The umpires would then be
closer to the plays and mistakes less
liable.
Today Saturday Pl~easantville has
the Reach A. A. of Philadelphia, with
them. Reach has defeated Bridgeton
and Millville this season, so you might
guess Adams Park will see some
lovely tussle this afternoon. Game
called at 30.

POLLY WITH A PAST
NEW BELASCO COMEDY,

Next Monday night, June 18th, and
for the entire week, David Belasco
will present for the first time on any
stage a new comedy in three acts, en-
titled "Polly With a Past" by George
Middleton and Guy Bolton. In this
bright and human comedy of youth
full charm will appear Ina Claire,
Cyril Scott, Anne Meredith, John w.
Cope, Louise Galloway, Herbert Yost,
Margaret st. John, William Sampson,
Robert Fisher, Bernard McOwen,
Thomas Reynolds, Helen Marche and
others, comprising an exceptional cast
of the usual Belasco excellence.
Little is known of the plot and story
of "Polly With a Past" but in select
ing this comedy for production the
words, another Boomerang" are
said to have flashed through Mr.. Be-
lasco's mind. When it is considered
what a tremendous appeal "The Boo
merang" had and still is enjoying in
New York and this full season in Chi
cago, and which delightful comedy
was first seen in Atlantic City two
years ago, much may be hoped for in
the latest offering by Mr.. Belasco,
"Polly With a Past" At the Apollo.

SARAH BERNHARDT IN
A BIG WAR PICTURE.
Actress Contributes Her Art to Cause
of France in Patriotic Film.

Spectators in the big moving pic
ture theatres as a rule do not applaud
but the crowds atlthe Rialto Theatre,
in New York, are receiving "Mothers
of France" a new patriotic film for
which Sarah Bernhard posed shortly
before coming to America, with great
bursts of hand-clapping. This great
est triumph of Nine. Bernhard will
be shown at the Strand Theatre, Plea
santville, next Saturday, June 10th,
matinee $50, evening 6.45 and S.45.
Jean R%ichepin, a member of the
French Academy, wrote the scenario
under commission from the French
Government, which has caused the
film to be sent to America for wide
distribution. 1t tells the story of the
noble sacrifices that Frenchwomen
have made in the war, and has many
appealing parts. The part that Sarah
Bernhardt acts is one that calls heav-
lily on her but at least serves to in
crease the marvel of her wonderful
vitality and youthfulness.

CRISES IN LIVES OF GIRL
AND MARRIED MAN IN
NEGLECTED WIFE.

A crisis in the lives of a beautiful
and innocent young girl and a married
man who, despite himself. has fallen
desperately in love with her, is reach
ed in the second episode of Pathe's big
serial, "The Neglected Wife" which is
to be shown at the Strand Theatre,
Monday, under the title, "Weakening."
Ruth Roland as the star gives a
sympathetic and appealing character
ization as Margaret Warner, a strug-
Cling writer. She is supported by a
strong cast of Balboa players includ-
ing Roland Bottomley. the celebrated
English star, as the nan who seems
to exercise a strange fascination over
her.
Horace Kennedy, drifting away
from his wife, Mary, is falling in love
with Margaret Warner. a writer bat
Ting with poverty.
Rescuing Margaret, in an accident,
Kennedy escorts her home. AS she
regains consciousness, Margaret dis
covers herself in Kennedy's arms. and
becoming frightened, she pushes him
away, asking what has happened.
Kennedy gains control of himself and
tells her that they have just escaped
death. Margaret discovers that she
has lost her handbag, and asks Ken
nedy to go back and search for it.
Convincing her that this would be use
less, Kennedy offers her a check, which
she refuses. He implores her to ac-
cept it as a loan, and Margaret finally
accepts.
Mary ignorant of the true cause of
Kennedv's neglect, decides to take a
trip on their houseboat. Mary meets
an old friend, Frank Norwood, a big
magazine editor. Showing her some
of his manuscripts, he comes across
one, which impresses him very much,
and he admits that he would like to
know the author. Handing the script
to Mary, he awaits her opinion. Clan
cling at the script. Mary is startled at
the inscription on the page, His Wife
and the Other Woman" by Margaret
Warner. Trying to hide her emotions,
Mary admits that it is very good.
Kennedy longing to see Margaret
telephones her, asking her to dine
with him. She consents and at a
fashionable cafe. Kennedy orders din
ner, not suspecting that he has been
followed by his enemy Doyle, the
crooked lawyer whom he had disbar-
red.
Rushing upstairs, Doyle discovers a
big flower urn, placed directly over
Kennedy's table below. Turning
around, he knocks his elbow against
the urn, but fortunately it strikes the
center of the table, missing Kennedy
by a small margin.
Kennedy leads Margaret away to
avoid publicity. She repulses Kenne-
dy's further advances telling him to
remember his wife. Both receive
threatening letters which disclose that
some one has learned their secret and
Margaret refuses to see Kennedy any
more.
