THE PARSON IN TROUBLE.

Lieutenant B. W. Maynard. the living parson,' air hero extraOrdi- nary and winner of the transcontinent- al flight recently held appears to be in a rather fight position through recent utterauces of his which indicated that several of his com mpetitors in the aerial derby were under the influence of John RarlcNccrn, and made it appear Ders rather than the parson had it not been for the liquor imbibed A cry of protest has gone up and the War Department is prepared to investigate q the charges by calling the Lieutenant to account.
 There have leen but few days which passed lately without some eS- pression of opinion on the part Of tn, central figure Tn this affair lie has undoubtedly been much sought after bN- reporters and been NcrI will ing to talk. His remark of several days ago that it was possible to count almost every NcrteDr;L in a woman $ back while sine was logged out in eNe- ming clothes, was spread from one end of the land to the other. Of course he exaggerated-we all know that there are one or two that are hidden from sight--but he hoped to point out {, moral. There was no investi ieation iaI, hoe at at evening affairs too long for that there was not even a protest from womanllind. The moral is obvious.
 In the statement anent flying men, however, his enthusiasm oVercame his good iudgm ent. He inadvertently, and pro baDly for the best made state ments that he might find it hard to prove, hoping for the good effect upon mankind which he piously desires. The statement proved a boomerang, the flyers did not. relish the imputa- ton ~rhat they were drlnkards, even though they were to prove of a benet to their kindred on earth. There are no willing "horrible examples in the air corps. It is tough on the par Son, but true nevertheless.
 The aviator may be tried by court martial such a thing is possible, and the official ban of disapprOVal placed upon him, whereupon he will prob ably cease looking into personal af- fairs of certain individuals with whom he is connected and basing d serm n thereon. unless he is certain that he is right before he goes ahead.

The KreiSler ViSt.
(NeW. Haven Court


 We feel less reluctance in com fhenting upon the demand 10 forbid the appearance of Fritz Kreisler on the concert stage in this city Friday evening because of our unremitting 9 devotion to the allied cause during the war. Our position from the first toward the central powers of Europe one of whom. Austria, claims this ta1- ented viOlinist as a native son. was that of unconditional surrender We are today profoundly regretful that Foch did not press his advantage and gain an unqualified military victory. That would, have solved problems which are now distressing. the world in general and ourselves in particular. '@ We are unable to sympatl1ize with the passionate protest offered the proposed concert Friday evening. People may talk all they please bout an existing state of war. between this country and the central powers but win such technical menal gymnastics we have little patience. We are at peace. and We are trading with Ger many. More thar that the world in general must begin at. once to trade with Germany and renew relations with her if she is to be permitted. on the one hand, to pay her debts, and, on the other hand, to be cured of her nilitaristic ambitions. 1t is highly significant that Great Britain is con Sidering nominating her for member ship in the league of nations Passion il has already been discovered is no ! match for economic truth. Under these circpmstances. which are un- mistakable. to undertake 10 forbid this talented and otherwise popular artist to give pleasure with his instru- ment, and thereby imposing upon him a penalty which is no longer imposed upon Germany of whom he is not a native and at whose hands his own country has suffered fearfully in pride and independence. is to say the least questionable.
 So far as the technique of the sit uation is concerned KNeisler never fought against this country though as an officer in the AuStr."'( army he did
 as his oath compelled Jim to do Gsht for his country. All turing our par ticipatlOn in the war he was Scrupu- lous to keep in retirement. The se- cret service agents of the government never had reason to suspect him in any capacity, and there is today a com plete absence of evidence attach ing him to any form of propa ganda not associated with an eyer .increas- ing love Of beautiful music and it's refined Interpretation. There is no resemblance whatsoever between the case of kreiSler and that of the in triguing Muck, the conductor of the Boston symphony orchestra Those wno take a different view from this always have the Iiaht to absent them selves from his coNCerts We have no fear whatever of being Gddled into a pro German or an anti American at titude of mind.

His Teacher Found Little to Do.
(NeW York Tim es1

To say that the late--and still much alive--Colonel Theodore Roosc- welt knew everything about every
 thing would be a, large cXaggera ton. Of course, but it was entirely char
 acteristic of him that when Niscount Grey, as an expert OH British birds, took him for a long walk in the country to tell him about the birds they encountered, he found that the Colonel was about as we'll informed as himself concerning them and had

THE. COAL STRIKE.

It at least appears that the striking accept the proposition of a 1 i per cent. increase in wages, the promise of arbitration of a wage scale through a special committee of three to con- boost, and to return to their work pending settlement. According to early advices today the 100000 men involved have returned in large num- bers and the remainder are fast re- suming work. The coal strike is thing of the past, though the ques- -tion of wages and who is to bear the added expenses is still before the public.
 The people will naturally ask of themselves whether the resumption of work marks a victory for the public, as it is represented in the gov -ernment, or the miners. It is still a matter of doubt. The government has retra cted, somewhat. from it's
 
 against the leaders in an effort to end the strike. Instead Of jail sen tences, which we were told certain men were to get, there has been an men went back slight as they may be { in comparison to the original de- mands. The miners have not ob- tained what trey started out to get, a thirty hour week with a sixty per cent. increase in wages. Neither has |; the public gained 8 great deal. It's opinion and orders were f1outed by the miners when the leaders call to again take up operations was ignored entirely and when the strike was as much ill effect seve eral weeks after it had been "called off, as it was orig | finally. The miners might have been l far better off. as far as public opinion i is corcernCd d if they obeyed the first call under protest and placed the ] matter under a6visement while they ! were producing the coal which was 1 their duty "as Americans" in the words of Acting President Lewis.
 There is no particular thanks due 1 to the miners for returning at this 1 time, when public sentim ent is against ', them. when coal regulations are in eff ] feet and when the shortage is being acutely felt in several districts. They were bribed to do so by the advance ] in wages and their own need of sus- 1 tanance. undoubtedly. They have ] merely done some ming which they 1 should have done some time ago if , they really have aTy other interests than their own at heart.

The Kendrick gazette. [volume] (Kendrick, Idaho) 1892-1968, 1919-06-13
kendrick Defeated Orofino

The Kendrick ball team won a
twelve-lnning game from Orotino
last Sudnday, played at Orofino. 1t
was one of the most exciting games
played by the Kendrick team this
season. Errors were numerous on
both sides but these were redeemed
by brilliant plays that more than
offset them.
In the first Of the ninth inning
the score stood 10 to 7 in favor of
Kendrick. A combination of errors
and hits allowed three runs for Oro
fino IN the last of the ninth, tylLg
the score.
In the last of the tenth inning
Densow took first base and gave
Brown the box. There was a man
on second and third and only one
man down. Brown throws crock
ball' that is almost impossible to
hit out of the diamond. He got
the next two Orofino players, fan
ming one and retiring the other at
first on an infield grounder to the
pitchers box.
In the eleventh inning Forest and
Carol! each made run. Orofino
failed to score and lost the game.
Forest and Densow were the bat
terry for nine innings and Brown
finished the game in the box. All
three of these!players did splendid
work for Kendrick. Densow and
Brown are both first class pitchers
and make good combination as
they throw widely different ball.
Densow has lots of speed and
wicked curve, while Brown uses
less speed and depends mainly on
his spit ball. Forest always plays
his position and is the most depend
able PLAYER on the team. He made
four out of twelve scores.
Jewell and Johnson made up the
battery for Orofino and later in the
game Rugg took Jewell's place in
the box.
At the end of the game the score
stood II to 10 in favor of Kendrick.
The same teams will play on the
kendrick diamond Sunday after
noon, Immediately after the chau-
tauqua program.
