ANNOUNCED FROM PULPIT THAT
 HE FAVORED SUNDAY BASEBALL

Watertown, Mass. May 9.-Rev. Henry B. Ogilby rector of the Church of the Good Shepherd EpiscopaD announced from the pulpit today that he was un- qualifiedly in favor of Sunday baseball of the non-commercial sort. He hoped that the town would avail itself of the executive authority to permit this anna teur amusement.
 Mr. Ogilby. who is Boy Scout master and an enthusiastic advocate of out door sports. was preaching on the neces- sity for systematic rest and clean recre- ation. He said it was far better for the boys that they be engaged in whole some sport than be compelled to hang about the street corners, bothering pc destrians and sometimes gcttings into trouble through the sheer need of the boy mind and body to be doing some thing.''
 "The New England Sunday" he add ed "has never been typcalSof the great church as whole. God made us with capacity for rest and recreation. With out occasional diversion we are not al our best in our serious work. The man who labors with his hands may find rest in intellectual pursuits; the brair worker in the exercise of his muscles Rest does not necessarily mean idle ness it ought to mean activity" |. When a man gets to itching for office he should get a place on the ticket anC then be scratched.

POETRY
THE sUBTLE MINIsTJ

 The murmur of waterfall A mile away, The rustic when robin lights Upon a spray, The tapping of lowland stream On dipping boughs, The sound of grazing from a herd Of gentle cows, The echo from a wooded hill
 Of cuckoo's call, The culver through the meadow grass At evening fall Too subtle are these harmonies
 For pen and rule, Such music is not understood
 By any school; But when the brain is overwrought
 It hath spell Beyond all human skill and power
 To make it well. The memory of kindly word
 For long gone by, The fragrance of a fading flower Sent lovingly. The gleam of a sudden smile
 Or sudden tear, The warm pressure of the hand, The tone of cheer, l The hush that means "I cannot speak But l have heardi" l The note that only bears. a verse From Gods own Word | Such tiny things we hardly count As ministry, l The givers deeming they have showT i Scant sympathy; | But when the heart is overwrought, | Oh. who can. tell 1 The power of saich tiny things To make it well, | Frances Ridley Havergal in Bostol | Transcript.

A sPULPHUR BUTTERFLY.

Along the lane as l passed by I saw sulphur butterfly Tanning with newly powdered wing The laughing breezes of the Spring From brown to green. from green to
 blue,
 Lightly the fond adventurer flew. The pageant of the Summer comes, With waving nags and joyful drums. With pomp of leaf and pride of flower, And many a green cheerful hour, Under the wide and shining arch 1 see the blue procession march, And on the wind of Spring is borne The perfume of a Summer morn. The Summer comes, And now the newborn butterflies A primrose blossom through the grass.

AIM is TO BE OF SERVICE
Theodore Roosevelt Sums Up Princi-
plies of Legion Before Cleveland
Chamber of Commerce.

ave are service men and service
women. That is our aim-to be OF
service to this country"
With those words Theodore Roose-
welt, son of the late ex-President
Roosevelt, summed up his speech on
the aims and principles of the Amer
lean Legion, delivered before the
Chamber of Commerce of Cleveland,
o. Three things, he declared, were
agreed upon in organizing the Legion
They were:
That the Legion should be purely
service organization with absolutely
no distinction of rank between gen
eral and private, admiral and COB.
That the Legion must be nom
partisan and must concern itself with
policies, not politics.
That there must be no distinction
drawn between branches of service,
between those who served overseas
and those who waited at home.
"The American Legion is going to
be the biggest stabilizing influence in
Aul6TlGd, Ill lllcSc ulsluA DCh lAibSSs III
said. He cited a letter from his IA
Their, written in 1918. in which the for
mer president predicted that the dan
ger in this country lay in the tendency
to swing from extreme TO extreme
from radicaIism to reaction and vice
versa.
To show that the Legion does not
care for politics Mr.. Roosevelt pointed
out that the first national commander.
Colonel Lindsey. was a Democrat
while l." he said, sam suspected of
being a Republican"
"The United States army" he con-
tinued. "was a democratizing infiu-
ence, contrary to the belief of many"
He told of many instances in his regi-
ment to show the abolition of class
distinction in the service.

BY WILLIAM J. BRYAN,

The greatest personal victory yet
won in this Democratic convention was
scored ny a young Filipino by the name
Of Jose P. Melencio. He has charge of
the Philippine Publicity Bureau at
Washington.
He Is only twenty-six years old and
received his education in the public
schools of the Philipplnes-under
American teachers, as he proudly
boasted-and at Georgetown, D. c.
He Is a remarkably promising young
man.
Speaking with grace, using the best
language and without a trace Of en-
barrassment, he presented the claim
OF the Filipinos to independence. The
audience was astonished at the
strength of his argument, the skill
with which he marshaled his facts and
the high tone of his speech. He capu-
waited everyone and committeeman and
visitors paid him the compliment of
rising and cheering when he concluded
his plea.
When one of the committee asked
him some questions he returned to the
platform and answered them with as
much logic and precision as If he had
taken weeks to prepare his answer. 1t
was a remarkable triumph.
AS one who began twenty-five years
ago to fight for the promise Of indie
pendence I was proud Of this illustra-
ton Of what the Filipino is capable.

THE new
BRICK YARD

New Hope The American Clay
Products Company has removed all
the timber from about twenty acres
of land above this place, and work
of construction goes on uniformly.
The place resembles a large lum-
Der camp. A saw mill is busily en-
gagged in converting the timber into
building lumber which in turn is used
for temporary buildings and other i'm
mediate needs. 1t is thought that
lot of the men who have been thrown
out of work at the New Jersey Rub
Der Company in Lambertville, and the
Stockton Rubber Company might get
temporary employment there.
Civil Engineer H. f. Frankenfield
has completed laying out the extern
sion of the Reading Railroad tracks,
and it is expected that the grading
and actual work of the construction
will begin soon. Already a portion of
the narrow gauge railway has been
laid from the plant to the former
Eastburn Reeder farm, and the grad
ing is completed to the foot of the
hill near the Kitchener farm. This is
to be used for hauls of shale to the
plant. The blasts that have been set
ooff in the removal of tree stumps
have sounded like the German guns
singing their songs of hate
The original cost of the property
was $23,00 which was paid to Dr. E.
G. Rhodes, but many thousands of
dollars have been spent since then. A
large farm tractor of thirty horse
power is being used to drive the saw
mill. as well as a gasoline engine.
Mr.. William Malcolm, secretary &
treasurer of the Company, when ask
ed for an account of the project said:
"On account of so much having been
said, and very little accomplished by
other companies which have organic
ed to make brick at New Hope, we
have adopted policy by the Com
pany to go about business as expe-
ditiously as possibly, or in other
words, SAW WOOD
However, Mr.. Malcolm promised to.
supply complete story of plans and
operations as soon as enough pro-
gress was made. The Company is cap
italized for .one million dollars.

GOVERNOR SPROUL
SAYS WOMEN NOT
IN FAVOR OF COX

"women voters are not for Cox"
says Governor Sproul OF Pennsylvania
and the reasons are not far to find.
Governor Cox has alienated the affec-
tons of great masses Of American
women. In the first place, It is gen.
orally conceded that his intimate
friends knew that in his heart he did
not want woman's suffrage and that
his statements in favor Of this meas
ure were only for political effect.
There are a great many travelling
men in this country. They are, as
class. constructionists Of a high order.
Their intelligent optimism has often
held 4 merchant up past the breaking
point helping save his business. These
travelling men have devoted wives;
the most Of them take great interest
In what their husbands are doing. Cox
lost what friends lie may have had
among these good people by his amaz-
ingly stupid attack on commercial
travelling and the travelling man.

VOTERS ENCOUNTER NO
DIFFICULTY CHOOSING
BETWEEN CANDIDATES.

Washington.-The American people
are carefully making close compari-
son right now between Senator Hard
ing and Governor Cox. The choice be.
tween these two men and the policies
they represent is not difficult one
and the writer honestly believes the
American people have their minds
made up and are ready to vote.
Senator Harding and Governor Cox
are almost Numerically opposed to
each other in everything. Senator
Harding stands for Americanism and
Governor Cox espouses International
ism. Harding is cautious about what
kind of league he and his party goes
into while Cox wants to wade right
into the European league as proposed
BY President Wilson.
Senator Harding is careful, DELHI
crate, dignified. sincere, serious and
constructive, while Governor Cox Is
crafty, quick to seize upon any kind
of an artifce; he is bombastic and
mpulsive.
Senator Harding has been a life
time accommodating a moderate fortune
while Governor Cox jumped into the
multimillionaire class In a few years
Harding lives modestly and quietly In
an transformations manner while Gov
ernor Cox lives in luxury on large
estate in a home costing half n mil
lion dollars.

TO REMAIN AT SARANAC LAKE
Wishes Of Two Hundred TubercuIar
Patients at Sanitarium Are to
Be Complied With.

Two hundred former service men,
tubercular patients at Saranac Lake,
will remain in the sanitarium there
according to their wishes and will not
be transferred to other government
institutions as originally ordered, as
the result of decisive action by the
American Legion.
An instant protest was registered by
the ailing veterans when the order for
their transfer came and Richard T.
Bell, chief of the service division of
the New York state department, who
had visited the men at Saranac a
short while before, took up their case
with the United States public health
service. At the same time John T.
Taylor, chairman of the national leg
islation committee of the American
Legion, took similar action and the
transfer order was rqSpindpd
