Indianapolis, Ind, Sept 13, 1919
Col. TheO. Townsend,
Editor Milford Chronicle.
Dear Sir:
Having been requested by several
friends in Glendale to write an ac-
count of my trip from Glendale to In
dianapOlis, I am hereby submitting it
for publication:
Glendale, Del, to indianapolis, Ind.
Taking my last view of Glendale
on Saturday morning, August 30, I
boarded the 7.20 train on the NJ. D. &
V. The scenery along the route of
travel was very pretty and when l ar
rived at Love Point, l viewed the Ches-
apeake for the first time. l boarded
the steamer, Westmoreland, and was
soon being carried out into the cool
but calm waters of the Chesapeake.
Land was never out of sight because
of the many towering pines on the
shore. Many bouys and sailing YES
sells were constantly being passed and
about ff.SS6 the sTfiGkestacks Of subbtT-
ban Baltimore factories, the many B.
& o, railroad shops, and several large
steamers plying from New York, Rot
terdam, Holland; Portland, Ore, and
other various ports of the world, came
into view. With the low steady noise
Of the paddle wheel occasionally in
terrupted by blast from the whistle,
the steamer touched the pier and l
Immediately disembarked. Making my
way to the Baltimore & Ohio station, 1
found that could leave for Washing
ton at p. m, and securing my ticket,
watched the movements of the city
until the train was called and was soon
steaming through the hills toward the
capital of the nation.
Arriving in Washington, despite the1
drizzling rain, 1 hurried through the
streets toward the capitol. Reaching
there 1 walked through the long lob
bies and was admitted to the gallery
in the Senate chamber. Senator La
toilette was speaking and was de-
nouncing the Democratic party by ac-
cusing it of not working for the bet |
terment of the nation, and then rep
Republican Senators until /
he became exhausted. His arguments |
were heard by few, as the majority |
either read the newspapers or gazed I
idly at the ceiling. leaving the Sen
ate chamber, l gazed at the reproduc-
lion Of Washington crossing the Della
ware. Taking car, / was put off at
me White House grounds and found
me sheep quietly grazing and here and
mere policeman stood by the num-
erous gates. Walking over to the
monument l gazed upon
he great edifice erected to the mem
Try Of the father Of our country"
Glancing over the city, could be
seen the Bureau Of Engraving and
Printing, the State, War and Navy
Smithsonian Institute, Con-
,ressional Library, and many other
amous buildings all within reach of

AN AUXILIARY TO THE RAILROAD.

For want Of proper roads this section has been
backward in development of the "Ship by Truck"
movement, though indications are that such enter
prise will before long be accelerated. In those Sec
tions where the roadways are excellent, or even
fair, the motor truck enterprise for inter-commun-
ity transportation has been steadily and proatably
upbuilt. Not alone have the communities been
benefited, but the steam railroads have been sup
piled with an auxiliary that is worth encouraging.
With the steam railroads striving to carry their
greatest burden, with serious shortage in rolling
stock and motive power, the motor truck has had
opened field which ought to be developed along
the line of employing the gasoline vehicle as auxl'
iary to the common carrier Here there is no genu-
inc competition for the railroad equipment is re-
leased for the long hauls for which the motor truck
is not devised, at least as profitable venture. AS
the horse drawn wagon and dray were used for the
about-town deliveries so the motor truck is avail
able for the delivery from community to an
other with the advantage that it can do business
along its route.-News and Courier. ...... 49,.

ton, as even there one cannot always fish and hunt
and practice law.
This irreverent iconoclast says: eff we are to
take our place along with the other towns Of like
Importance with Abbeville, we need college. Why
not try Erskine with an offer of two hundred and
fifty thousand dollars? 'Abbeville could do nothing
better today than to make the offer. Erskine Col
lege must grow. It needs more and larger build
ings. It must rebuild within the next ten years.
There are several reasons why this desecration
will not be permitted. .4N
In the first place. Abbeville couldn't raise the two
hundred and fifty thousand dollars The only time
there has been that much money in Abbeville was
when Confederate money was in circulation there.
In the second place, Abbeville is no place for an
institution Of learning for pious young men, such
as frequent Erskine. The sinful cigarette the pro-
scribed waltz and two step, card-playlng, novel;
reading, the dram and drama are to be found in
Abbeville. There is frequent bold mention in the

TRYING TO. CAPTURE ERsK1NE COLLEGE

ID ,rl. s - ~ = q
Remove Erskine College from Due West to Alb
beville Court House, forsake the traditions Of the
Corner for the paltry consideration Of s250,000,
would be like .transplanting the Vatican to Worms
or converting st. Michael's into garage Yet such
is the reasonable suggestion made by the Hon.
William Pinkney Greene. in the Abbeylle Press and
Banner The idea is simply abhorrent. M ls
"f we are to take our place along with the other
towns of like Importance with Abbeville" says this
mischief-making and rreverent triaer with sacred
things, 'swe need college Why not try Erskne.
An offer Of two hundred and fifty thousand dollars
to the Synod to induce that body 30 move the Col
lege to Abbeyile would make interesting reading
Abbeville could do nothing better today than to:
make the offer" But AbbeviIle did not make the
offer and we do not believe for a moment that the
Synod will take the bait. If Abbevile needs Col
lege why doesn't it build one OF its very own IN
stead Of respassing the preserves of other more
enterprisng townsf Why hasn't Abbevile had q
college of its own all these years? It's people were
distinguished for their wealth when the little old
town Of Due West was living from hand to mouth,
and, so far as we can recall they never once
thought Of putting single dollar into college ct
the Court House. They had branch railroad then,
they still have the branch railroad and are situated
on through line but they have not done very much
with their transportation facilities, and have not
even suggested the idea Of building College.
"Erskine College Must Grow. It needs more and
larger buildings. It must rebuild within the next
ten years." says The Press and Banner and all that
is true; but it can grow best where It was born.
it must be moved it would be better TO take It to
Greenwood which has done some very big things for
itself without foraging it's neighbors or to Spar
tanburg where every prospect pleases and where
we have four. through railroad lines. G. Hemp

For idle hands to do"

fifty thousand dollars, Erskine College be moved
from Due West, its celebrated and venerated seat,
to Abbeville court house. In Abbevile as busy

Ing corps must be strengthened if the
team is to make a serious bid for the

about the only dependable pitchers he

that he will not last very much longer.
He may be as good in 1920 as he was

STIVERS NEXT FOR
H. s., GAME WITH
NEWCASTLE OFF

Cancellation Of the Newcastle-Rich-
mond football game Saturday, by Man
ager Vernon, because of the impossi'
bility Of finding place in Richmond
where a football game could be play
ed, was sore blow to the hopes OF
the team and to the student body.
The contest was looked upon as the
big game of the season, by Richmond
rooters and Vernon waited until the
last minute before sending word to
the Rose City Of his decision. 1t Is
the last game Of the season for New
castle, and as Richmond has no open
dates within the next three weeks,
Vernon says Richmond will probably
have to wait until next year for an
other chance.
Stiff Game Next Week.
Exhibition Park and the Play
grounds were in impossible shape Fri
day afternoon and Coach Rock held
signal practice for the team in the
Y. NJ. c. A. gym. The team put lot
Of pep and action into the work.
Following the football practice, the
and it could be called the first workout
for this seasons basketball squad.
Next Saturday Richmond will travel
to Dayton, O., where game has been
scheduled with Stivers high. An in
dication OF the strength Of Stivers can
be gained from the fact that Steele
high beat Stivers by 3 points. and
Steele beat Hamilton by 80 points.

Poly Loses to Wabash
in Last Three Minutes
CRAWFORDSV1LLE, Ind, Nov. 1.

CRAWFORDSV1LLE, Ind, Nov. 1.
After holding the Wabash eleven
scoreless until the last three minutes,
and playing a marvellous game, Rose
Poly went down to disheartening de-
feat today by 10 to score on In
gals Field, which resembled a lake
after twenty-four hours rain. For tif-
ty-five minutes the Rose lines, depict
ed by injuries to several stars, held
the smashing attack Of the Scarlet
back field. only to lose the game on
a turn OF luck.
When within 20 yards Of the Ross
goal. with minutes to play, Naber.
Little Giant full back, dropped back
for a kick. The ball sailed high over
the goal posts, and 1t could not be
seen whether it had gone oyer the bar
or not. Referee Heze CLARK called the
kick good. A minute later, after the
kickoff, the Scarlet advanced the ball
down the field, and with seconds to
play. Weber, subquarter broke through
the Engineers line and went through
broken field for a touchdown. Ma
Der kicked the goal, and before the
ball could be put in play again the
whistle ended the game.

Absurd to CaQ u. S. -
"Old," Says Charn.oood

Lord Charnwood. in Anglo-French
Review.
have spoken Of the United States
as new country. In a way it II well
to remember that the epithet new"
SO applied is in some respects mis-
leading and absurd. The United States
as a national power is Of course older
than the late German empire. The
American constitution OF today Is a
little older than the real working
British constitution Of today. however
much the antiquity king. lords and
commons, severally. may disguise this
fact
The American nation moreover has
by now sufficient length OF history
behind it-of history peculiarly rich in
romance, in dramatic events and in
heroc fisures-to do away with any
sense on the part Of others that its life
lacks the background of antiquity. and
II 1t lives in a constant state OF trans
ition. so, too. is it with ourselves.
But in one sense the word new"
applied to the United States stands
, for an important fact-a fact common
, to them and to the overseas domin-
ions. Their political and social COM
munity was the creation of number
OF men who came together in field
heretofore untrodden by their race,
stepped as individuals in the traditions
OF an older community, but surround
ed. then and thenceforward to this
day, by circumstances wholly unlike
those which have ever prevailed in
any country of Europe.
Therefore the untraveled English
man or Frenchman who wishes to un-
derstand America has to perform two
initial efforts. He must once for all
imagine vividly the difference of cir
cumstances which all along has gov
erned or conditioned the development
OF America. He must then recognize,
as then alone he can, the persistence
in the American commonwealth of
very old and very venerable things
the creation. in the main no doubt of
its English progenitors, but influenced
| in marked degree by ideas which had
their origin in France. Thus. and thus
only, he will begin to see the things
which may first have struck him about
America in their true setting and
perspective.
AS he does SO. things which may al
first have repelled him are likely to
fill a smaller space in his vision;
things which have stirred his affec-
ton, or even enthusiasm may become
the chief associations Of the word
America in his mind Anyhow, Amer
lea is courtry-not a region OF space
and a country which it is impossi-
BILE to regard with neutral or lukewarm
feelings.

By JACK kEENE,

Promoters don't have to guarantee
all boxers. Here is one who will give
the manager a guarantee any time he
fights. He Is Stock Yards Tommy Muir
ply, the Chicago middleweight, and
war hero.
Tommy has signed for a series of
bouts with the Racine (Wis) Club,
and has agreed to post a forfeit for
each show that the gate receipts will
amount to certain sum. For instance
he told the promoter what guarantee
and percentage he wanted and the
club replied that the show would have
to draw certain sum to show a
profit.
"All right" replied the Irishman,
I'll post ten per cent OF that sum
to guarantee the receipts reach that
figure"
Murphy is one OF those fellows who
believes boxer is worth no more than
he can draw at the gate. He works
on the same principle with other clubs
and is willing to make the same ar,
rangements with them.
The shifty 1rishman is fresh from
a ten-round victory over frankie Bren-
nan, of Detroit, at Kalamazoo, and ex-
poets a busy season in Michigan
rings. He has dates pending at De-
troit and Battle Creek.
Tom is an ex-saiolr, having put in
eighteen months along the Atlantic
seaboard with the American convoy
service. He developed a knockout
punch while in service and has a bat
ting average OF 1888 since being re-
leased.

ST. MARY'S AGAIN
CANCELS; QUAKERS
LOOK TO FRANKLIN

With the st. Mary's game cancelled,
Coach Move will turn his undivided
attention to the coming game with
Franklin on Reid Field, next Satur-
day. The Quaker mentor is keenly
disappointed over the action of the
Dayton school, for the game would
have proved invaluable as practice
for the Quaker team.
Reid Field is waterlogged, but un-
less it is two feet deep Monday after,
noon, Coach Move declares that Earl
ham will get in stiff practice. If
necessary, Move says he will instruct
the squad in the Australian crawl.
This is the second time that Earl
ham has been forced to forego a game
with the Dayton school, and unless a
post-season game is scheduled, no fur
ther effort will be made by Coach
Move.
Eighteen men were picked to make
the trip and when notified that al
bets were OFF,, were dismayed for
they were counting upon this game
to help them obtain their football
"E's".
All the stories emanating from the
Franklin camp are not being given
credence by the Earlham fans and in
spite OF tue lact tudl rIdAhllu HAS
made considela BILE showing against
some strong teams this year. the fact
that it was downed by the St. Xavier
crowd has made the hopes at Rich
mond rise higher.
The inactivity Of the Quakers will
probably be a good thing in one way,
as it will allow the hospital corps Of
the squad to get back in shape for the
Franklin fray and will eliminate the
possibility of any one of the more
dependable players getting injured in
the game today.
