Altoona Does and Does
Not Answer Challenge
From Capital City

Harrisburg never did have a
hankering for booking teams
which are liable to hand the home
club a trimming"
This was the line in an AL
toona paper which riled athletic
managers in Harrisburg, who
read further in Altoona sheets
that the Mountain City was ready
to put up battle with any who
would answer from here. The
first to demand cards on the. table
was Gordon Ford, of the ~Inde-
pendents, who wrote to e. p.
Sarvis, of the Altoona Big Five
Who asserts that he has world
beating club, and offered March
8 for a game on the Chestnut
street floor. Ford could not get
to the wire quickly enough and
he had the luck of making a date
for that time. Manager Sar-
Wis" said he to-day, will there
fore have the chance on March
8 to prove he has world-beat-
ing club"
The Central High Informals
were less fortunate in getting a
rise. Manager Carl Stoner had
things arranged to play Altoona
Scholastics but at the last mo-
ment they had an excuse.

Cardinal Issues Appeal
in War Savings Campaign

Washington, Feb. 20.-Cardinal
Gibbons yesterday issued an appeal
for continued support of the govern
ment's war savings campaign this
year.
"The man, womSn or child who
has learned to spend wisely and look
forward to the future and to lay by
something which wilt help him in
unforeseen emergency is not only
helping himself, but Is becoming a
better and more useful citizen" said
the cardinal. "I urge all our clergy
to promote this campaign by every
means in his power"

Truly Democratic

A more democratic man than
Theodore Roosevelt never lived. He
"held these truths To be self-evidcnt,
that all men are created equal, and
that they arc endowed by their
Creator with certain inalicnablc
rights" and these rights, individual
and collective, he respected and in
sisted that others also respect. One
of his real pleasures was to attend
q communication Of his Masonic
lodge and 10 sit in general seat
while his gardener or some other
man Of modest estate presided as
master. Uia circle Of real friends,
az distinguighcd from acquaintance,
embraced all sorts and conditions OF
men, from kings and princes to cow
boys--or, cowboys to kings and
princes, az you will. TO him, re

seemed insignificant compared with
his knowledge Of birds of other ages

Colonel Roosevelt did not love social
life and friendships, as distinguished
from so-called society" life, but his
public life was so tremendous that
it claimed virtually all his time and
attention and left little for social
| recreation, and none whatever in
his business hours-which l am
tempted to say were about twenty
out Of each twenty four.
Nearly all who saw him had
some message, information or sug-
gestion which they felt would be of
interest to Colonel Roosevelt, or of
value to the nation and as such for
his ear first, as the man who best
could put it into effect. Many of
his visitors, probably most Of them,
were disinterested personally and
had no axe to grind and it was fire.
quent manifestations of such
personal disinterestedness which
strengthened Colonel Roosevelt's
faith in mankind and made his heart
and mind so receptive that some
times he was imposed on by hypo-
critics.
He knew no invidious distinction
or race, religion or color, or previ-
GUS condition of servitude; if man
was a real man he enjoyed Theo-
dore Roosevelt's respect-indeed, in
the fulness Of his heart and the
nsuspiciousness of his nature
Colonel Roosevelt extended this to
some who were not entitled to it.
Yet never for a moment could
man become unduly familiar with
him; gentle dignity protected him
at all times, and paradoxically he
