w NOTES ON THE
LANGUAGE QUESTION.

posed to the introduction of the
American language into general
use in our church. \ few days
ago | was sharply reminded of
this by a letter and | was at once
moved by Indignation. So | am
venturing to write this article in
favor Of the new language. But
since the readers of, ,Danskeren"
may consider the result of my in
dignation merely the outburst of
a student | may come to no harm.
| start out with the suppose
ton and the firm conviction that,
as a church, we cannot in any
way afford to lose a single young
person even # that young per-
son happens to be the blacklist
of the blackssheep. This | think
the reader will admit without
further discussion as being close
ly related to the fundamental
principle of Christ's teaching
that of His love for all. 1t is of
course superfluous to state here
that we exist as a church to pay
particular attention to the prac-
tee of His teachings.
To be brief, we may 10Y 90 on
to our next proposition. That is,
that, if by u retaining the Dan
ish exclusively a single indiyid-
ual misses a single service in our
church, all reasonable persons will
admit frankly the wrong we do
by not introducing the American
into such a part of church
work as will attract and will ap-
peal to any individual who might
show an interest in religion as we
teach it. And | take it that we
are justified in using even the
American if necessary to aronse
such interest. However, the idea
here is not that we should make
the change for the sake of ac-
curing some good propaganda
matter. II is, rather, that we
should do so to prepare for a
great future for our young peo-
pie by establishing in their
minds those certain great truths
that make life so livable and SO
worthwhile and, it is especially
desirable that we do this while
they are young, that we do so in
terms they understand and will
use-in which terms they will
pass on their knowledge to their
children. 1t has been nicely dem
onstrated TO be the best to have
those things that are to be Of the
greatest use in life and that are
to aid the individual longest
lodged as knowledge and for
practice in the mind of the indi-
vidual at the earliest possible
date; and, when hesitation is
made to regard the things that
should be taught at a certain age
Of all the things that might be
taught it is in consideration Of
the permanent welfare of the in
diyidual being instructed.
So | am led to the conclusion
that ne person among us who is
vitality interested and honestly
concerned with our permanent
welfare as a church will continue
to approve the introduction of the
American language to such a de-
gree and with such a speed as
our best judgment will sanction,
having in mind both the few old
persons who are said not to be
able to appreciate the American
and that great body of young
folks that we must lose if we will
not appeal to them in convincing
terms. If we appeal to them in
such terms as they do not under
stand we are negligent of our
duty by refusing to appeal to
them at all. For, an approach
with an idea is not an appeal I'M

Pal Moran
is Confident
of Winning

Pal Moran. the New Orleans light
weight. has arrived in Chicago with
apparently the greatest confidence
that he will be able to make more
than al ordinary showing against
the worlds lightweight champion
when he meets with Leonard neat
Saturday at the East Chicago arena
A. the same time we hear that Leon
az is doing some real training Tor
this bout, evidently concluding that
any one who can win from Charlie
White is worthy OF consideration.
Moran did put up a great battle
against White in the East Chicago
arena few weeks past but his vic
tory was not entirely one-sided Mo-
ran e1ceEed In foot work. dancing
around much faster than white and
also landing many more blows than
the Chicago boy. but he really came
out Of the battle marked more than
did White. White landed some heavy
wallops but the little Orleans boy
managed 70 weather them without
much trouble. showing that he is not
easily put away.
The place where Moran fell down
when he fought White and It is prob
able that he will have the same trou-
BILE against Leonard. was in his pow
er to punch. He has plenty of speed
but his blows do not carry the mecca
sary steam for a knockout. Leonard
on the other hand does have enough
steam for Knockout as he very ably
demonstrated against White and Will
probably be able to stand a number of
Moran's light blows without damage.

Since these are the facts II Is aPpar-
ent that Moran will try to keep we'll

but will try for a knockout early IN
the bout. He will ind a much differ
ent opponent than he found In White
since Leonard will match the New
Orleans boy for speed and has the
reputation OF having the best head OF
any fighter in the ring. From all In

Sporting Editor Times:
We would like to make a few com
ments OF H G. Syivester's article. ap-
pearing in Saturdays Lake County
Times, in connection with the Liber-
ty-Scatena ball game and the fairness
Of same. Net knowing Mr.. Sylvester.
the writer however believes he dld
not follow the game closely at least
not close es he wishes il under
stood. For his own info VIII say
that no Scatena runner had a chance
to steal third base IN the first inning
but that is really getting away from
the main argument Ground rules
are that a runner should follow the
bases, also IL is not probable that
they will be kicked out into centre
field. There Is no use in talking ike
a little boy.
You mention the regretabIe act or
our hrst baseman. Whether this was
an accident or not the writer hest
tates in saying. as We admit it looked
bad, but such accidents have been
known TO occur. furthermore. as you
say, Love was forewarned and was
not touched. However you who are
an ardent edmirer ef clean baseball
take pride in bossting Of the true fact
that our runner got q punch in the
nose. Should this have happened?
Our hrst bsseman denies that it was
intentional, but you may be sure he
was severely reprimanded by the
manager
Why not make mention Of the fact
that Scatena's umpire had more inter
est in the game than fair sportsman
ship. Why not bring out the fact
that this same umpire treated our
third baseuan the same way Mr.. Love
treated our first oaseman. There was
absolutely no cause for this. Let me
also say that you have no idea Or
what clean sport is. Do you know
that this was nothing but a grudge
game. The Liberty played the Sea-
tena early this season and got a good
beating Went home, said nothing
about it. because despite the guaran-
tees, they got all the dirty deals they
expected.
We played them football last sea-
son Hardly a man on the Liberty
team didn't get what you so highly
respect, a punch on the nose. It may
be the popular decision with the.
Scatena crowd that they get a reaI'
dirty deal

NEW ORLEANS, La, Oct. 20
Governor John M. Parker is expect
ed to issue a proclamation Monday
calling on every cotton ginner in this
state to close his plant until the de-
pressed cotton market reaches a
price that will enable producers to
dispose of their crops at a reason
able profit.
At the same time, the chief ex-
ecutive will send message to gov
ernors of every cotton growing state
urging them to take similar action to
save the cotton growers from heavy
losses resulting from the slump in
prices.

suspend operations came after con-
ference with DR.. B. Gilbeau and DR..

dent of the Louisiana division Of the

MAMMOTH THRONG
APPLAUDS COX At
NEW YORK SPEECH

NEW YORK. Oct. Ex-Governor
Cox, of Ohio delivered his League
of Nations message to a great au-
dience in Madison Square Garden to-
nioht and emphasizing business and
economic considerations declared
that Americas "successful- future
depends upon entrance into the
league at the earliest possible mo-
ment."
WILLINGNESS to make "some COM
promise" upon league reservations
was declared by the Democratic
presidential candidate. He reiterat-
ed that he would accept "helpfur'
reservations. If elected. he said he
would lift this issue out of politics
by effecting a result which will in
sure the entrance of the United
States into the league with the idea
of perfecting it and obtaining for
ourselves the benefits which will ac-
crue."
Governor Coxs speech, closing his
Atlantic coast campaign and climax
ing day of receptions, luncheons
and, other events, stressed agricul-
tural industrial banking and other
arguments for American participa-
ton in the league.
THE most serious depression the
country has ever witnessed" was
predicted by the nominee If the
league cause was lost. Business de-
preston already, he declared. has
grown intense" as a result of Sem
ator Harding's statements on his
| league attitude.
Reiterating that financial rehabil-
| itation. credit and power, together
! with increased resources resulting
from disarmament. would flow from
| the leagues success, Governor Cox
declared.
IF we go into the league our finan-
cial power will guarantee that we
can army to fight in Europe. If we
meet the opportunity that calls to
us. we can write the word American
across the page of the twentieth
century history in letters of light"
Regarding compromising upon
league reservations. Governor Cox
said:
cit is going TO be necessary to
make some compromise to secure the
desired end and that l am willing
the league with reservations and
have so stated my position in every
sneech made from the Atlantic to
the Pacific. l will accept reserva-
tions that are helpful. that will clar-
ify. that will reassure our own peo-
pie. and that will make clear to
our associates in the league the linn
itations of our constitution. beyond
which we cannot go, among which
are the Hitchcock reservations"

Bankers of the country, Mr.. Drum

of maintaining and developing for

not required for domestic use, and
will do their part as national serv-
