Sneakers Conference Tell How Conditions Maine Can Be Betere

Sing today Is better than any IN the
land. Loyalty to the Mutual Welfare
League means the welfare OF the TEL
low prisoners left behind when a man
is discharged Whiskey and drugs
used to be sold openly to the prisoners
and this custom was never eliminated
until the Mutual Welfare League drove
1t out. There is a wonderful change IN
the point of view Of men in prison
and men going out. Instead OF nate
and revenge they feel that they nave
friends and while they have committed
an error It has been redeemed by good
conduct and q determination to so
straight. The greatest thing in the
world is the Fatherhood of God and
next to that the Brotherhood of Man.
It is through the Brotherhood of Man
that we are reaching the prisoners to-
day."

make more efficient the agencies now
working toward church unity. Among
these agencies are % the churches In
their state organizations; ca the In
terdenominational Commission of Maine.
Collateral with the deepening of the re-
ligious life in the churches there should
be: Strong social or welfare movements
in communities to strengthen the gener-
al community spirit. 1t Is not hard to
combine churches where people are al
ready socially united. 1t is practically
impossible to federate churches where
people are socially divided; definite
statewide program Of union religious
meetings in communities with definite
aims, as the Fathers and Sons gather
ings organized by the State Y. NJ. c. A.
The writer recently offended such
gathering in a small town where over
100 men and boys sat down to ban
quot. Many of those men, leaders in
their respective churches. had never
been together in a religious meeting;
literature dealing with purely local
problems and experiments in church
unity should be created and circulated.
This is a problem OF which it may be
said 70 know it will mean to be active
in its solution.

May Attempt
to Hold Thaw
in Pennsylvania
as Incompetent

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 1.-THE first def
mite step in what promises TO De d
long and involved legal battle to pre-
vent Harry X. Thaw from falling into
the hands of the New York state au-
thorities who want him on charges or
kidnapping and assault was taken on
Saturday afternoon, when Henry j..
Scott, who is representing the Thaw
interests here pending further mobih-
cation of forces, sent this letter to Gov.
Martin G. Brumbaugh at Harrisburg:
In the event Of application by the
Governor of New York being made to
YOU for the eXtradition of Harry *.
Thaw, kindly do not grant the same
without communicating with me and
giving me an opportunity to be heard"
May Try Mental incompetence
While Mr.. Scott admitted that he
had sent the letter without an oppor-
tunity to consult with Thaw. he had
talked with representatives of the fam
lily and it was generally conceded that
the fight was on. Thaw when he
comes out of his stupor, may attempt
to check it. it was limited, as it may be
mentally incompetent to keep him
away from New York. but there is
well-founded report that even Thaw's
feelings in the matter will be put aside
as a result of his latest escapades if he
attempts to kick over the traces.
The latest developments-the talk of an
effort to show that Thaw is mentally in
competent-was discussed widely in Phil
adelpha today as one of the most re-
markable features of Thaw's litigation.
During the last 10 years the tight has
been to establish Thaw's sanity, and
hundreds of thousands of dollars were
spent by the family in that cause. APP
parently the hope of those who are CON
sidering the latest step is to have Thaw
placed in d private sanitarium here in
stead of being returned to New York. If
he was declared insane by a lunacy com
mission here it would, under the laws of
Pennsylvania, be the duty of the state to
take care of him. AS an insane man. Mr..
Scott holds, Thaw could not properly be
eXtradited for the commission of a
crime which he was legally of commit
ting.

ARTHUR HEWITT
DISCUSSES THE
COUNTRY PASTOR
Says Ministers in Rural Sections
Must Show Spirit of Loyola
and Damien and Grenfell.

Rev. Arthur Hewitt of Plainfeld.
VI. a member of the Vermont Legis-
lature, member of the Vermont State
Board of Education, founder of YER
mont's new educational code for rural
schools, lecturer before leading col.
leges and seminaries of the East
spoke, as he said. from the standpoint
OF the country pastor"
The country pastors task" he said,
is the 18th labor OF Hercules, because
OF the vicious iniquity of certain rural
slum districts where morality has died,
and the religious Indifference of many
where moral responsibility remains.
There Is sorrow. loneliness. social un-
rest in country life because Of the city,
ward exodus which leaves discourage
ment with those who remain.
Not Small Field
The country parish is usually
thought n small field. This is false.
Many rural parishes cover whole town
ships. My own has 1850 people scat
tered along roads that measure 81
miles and can be visited four times a
year only by travelling a distance equal
10 that from Boston to Chicago.

tryside falls unclaimed between par
ishes and is wholly unevangelized In

STARS BY DAYLIGHT.
Why We Cannot See Them, psspls
Some Old ideas

1t Is curious how the popular mind
persists In clinglng 20 certain idess
which have no foundation whatever n
fact. One of these Il the belief ths,
the stars are visible by daylight 4
viewed from the bottom OF deep vel
a mine shaft or N tall chimney
Way back in the time ~ Arisiots
this idea began TO gain currency. Il
was vouched for not only by tie CrpT
Greek philosopher. but by many oilg
eminent scientists since his time wlt
never took the trouble 10 luycsilcat
tho matter and prove Tor tlrmscte
that 1t was not so. Humboldt was on-
of the first scientific men % InQua
into the correctness OF this idea Il IN
terested him particularly because BE-
had spent n great deal OF time 10
mines himself. Ills own experience
furnished nothing whatever 10 confirm
In various parts OF the world he DE-
clared himself unable to find the slight
est evidence that the stars are evG
visible by daylight from the bottom Of
wells or mine shafts.
The whole idea Is inst as mythical
as that OF the wonderful pot OF gold
that Is buried ut the foot Of the rain
bow. The invislbil!ty OF the stars n
the daytime Is due 10 the glare Of
the atmosphere Illuminated by the
suns rays. There is absolutely no rca
son why being at the bottom OF the
well or down in a mine should dimln
fsh this glare enough 60 make the stan
visible TO the human eye.
There is good deal OF difference, n
science has lately found out. In the
visibility OF stars and planets when
viewed through telescope by daylight
This varies according 20 the color Of
the heavenly bodies. The red or yel
low stars are much more easily seen
than the white ones. Unless the tele
scope IS focused with the greatest &C
curacy often an extremely bright star
VIII be absolutely lost against q day
light field.
AS general thing the planets are
much less visible In daylight than
stars. The reason for this il that the
telescope dimlnishes the brightness Of
the planets disk as well M Of the SKY
and therefore does not heightcn The
contrast. as In the case OF the star
