BASEBALL 5 AGAIN.

PerhRps yel haven't xealized it but the baseball season is with US once again. From now on until the. chilly days of next fall 1t Is going to be served to us daily and there Is no ev- idence of any lag in the interest.
 Changes of course have taken place but the issme. has the same irresist- ible interest, the same magnetism that has characterized; it in the past and young krserira isn't deveIoping alon gany different lines in this re- spect. As an outdoor sport there isn't anvthing that aFouses the same general enthusiasm or draws the ea- ger following that baseball does, E
 Like other things which go with days of peace baseball suffered from the war. Regardless of the grip that it has upon all with sporting procliyi- ties it was bound to suffer with the young men of the country and the real thought turned to other and more serious matters. industrially ol militarvwisa.
 Even last year the readjustmen had not reached the point where il
 was possible for baseball to get .bacl " has been experiencing some lear years and the organizations have beer driven to the same action that busi ness has in requiring that those wh! dance must pay the fiddler.
 Each year witnesses the passing Q certain players, the changing of oth
 CTS to new teams and the breaking u | of strong and famous combinations and as the result the fayorite clut from year to year depends upon wher the particular star, or combination of stars, is located, or how much on
 is impressed with the uphill fight of 1 particular team. With conditions getting back t
 normal baseball should show the re
 suits of if. It cannot be said that l lost its grip but now. with thought
 turned in different channels, what
 ever sidetracking there was should b quickly overcome.

BUDGET LEeisLATloN.

Indications point to the fact that efforts are to ho rrn7n to provide leg islation for 2 federal budget system at this session of congress. It is cer- tainly ti-no that such a reform was instituted and t = incumbent upon congress, in view of the fact that this matter held leading place on the programme as projected at the opeh : ing of the session that no further de lay should be permitted.
 With the senate committee handling this matter reporting a revision of the bill passed by the house there is no serious difference of opinion excep, as to where the budget bureau should be located. S'7Ss''s '
 According to the house bill the bud get bureau would be placed in the of flee of the president. The senate committee believes that the president of the country is sufficiently burdenee with duties and that the bureau should be in the office of the treasur, department where the work could bt more easily and smoothly carried out
 Such is a matter, however, thal ought not to cause any very seriou; holoup Tn the action of the senate, oi in any subsequent effort that may bs necessary to get an agreement upor this point between the two houses The committee report indicates a ia. vorable attitude toward the reform and il view of 1'-@ -i~nd that has bee, taken for such legislation and tn, need that exists for the placing O | government finances on a hIsines. basis every effort should be bent t, get the bill on the statute books be fore the session closes in June.
 Judging by committee action thi is aimed at but there have been sucl delays in having requirements met i this direction. and particularly S when they were never needed nor than at tho nresent time, that n | pushing of it over until after the re | cess should be permitted.

HOW THE PUBLIC FEELS.

If those who have joined in the strike of the railroad men. either as members of brotherhoods or some other unions, and brought about the closing of industries, the holding up of transportation and the threatening of a food famine in some centers want to realize the sentiment of the public relative to their action they should notice well how those who are affected or those who recognize the gross injustice of the strike are vol unteering to see that trains are kept in operation.
 Had the policy of the government been such as to have let such radi- calls know in advance that they could expect the kind of treatment they de- serve, had they been impressed with the fact that tha mail service of the country must not be interrupted as was emphasized in few words by Gro yer Cleveland and had our department of justice head been free to meet the situation as it should be met with out danger of a possible reaction against presidential aspirations. there are reasons to believe that the situa ton which prevails today would not have developed. We are feeling the o~-~-s of weak, watchful- waiting policy, and there is no telling where such conditions will end slong as it is maintained.
 The disposition as expressed by the volunteers and by the brotherhoods ]: to tight the radical element until ! admits defeat There certainly car be no inclination to yield to their de mands since that would simply b. showing toleration for the course the! have pursued but with the great ar teries of travel tied up with all thu attending hardships it is evident tha it is a situation which calls for thu putting forth of every possible effor by government agencies as well al the brotherhoods and the public tt get railroad service back to normal a the earliest possible moment, for is against all of these that the radi calls are working.

Especial to The Bulletin)


 Washington, D. C., April 15.-When which ca(rias $1s,S33,4A2 flor the fiscal year 1921, was the subject of debate in the house, Representative John c. Tilson, of Connecticut, who preached military preparedness and especially an up-todate munitions program for several years before the American participation in the world war, and who has treated the house to a series of educative illustrative lectures on various phases of mili- tary eQuiment, made a strong speech for national defense in the years to come.
 Colonel Tilson who was in the Spanish American war answered lem balmed bee slurs from a democratic oponent, but said it was silly to hold the secretary of war or the president responsible for the shortcomings of some food inspector.
 Particular stress was laid by Rep resentative Tilson on the production of the Enfield rifles at the. rate of l5.0O0 a day within two and a half years. He gave the highest credit for making the rife program "an un- son. president of the Winchester Re- 
 ball. president of the Remington Arms & Union Metallic Cartridge Co.,, and | to C. H. Schlachs, general manager of the E,ddystone rife plant. lie said Their preeminent executive ability | coupled with technical training of a high order directed along practical lines made their services invaluable in the crisis then at hand

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
The Interchureh Movement.

MT. Editor: While MT. Purkiss, inl challenging my letter to The Bulletin, \ denies that there is an aristocratic1 spirit in the interchurch movement, still he makes two exhibitions, of that spirit himself in his letter. CD He might not have answered but for the fact that he wished people to know that mine surely is a small ministry Stlll such truths often men from the larger ministries" feel that they cannot let them remain unchallenged" when they expose the corruption of their own schemes. l2J He shows that he, too, is among that humber who would crowd out Of the convention such men as disturb his thoughts, when he suggests that I keep sweet and abide by the ac-. ton of the Denver convention or get out. Now, these 2.0Q0 delegates he mentions are only 2.00D out of about one and one-ha.H million Baptists in the Northern Baptist convention. Those who are acquainted with Bap- tists know that it is a fundamental ! principle with Bapstis that no church I or minister Is bound to the action of ] the convention. It is maintained | among Baptists that a church or minister can refuse to abide by the action of the convention and yet be a true believer in democracy" The convention can only advise, but the l sad part about it is, that sometimes l it's advice is not worthy of consid- eration. As for keeping Sweet and remaining with the majority, if all the ministers did that our churches would soon surely be turned into res- ttaurants, moving picture theatres, and dance halls; and our ministers would | turn to actors rather than to preach I CTS of the Word.
 Much has been said by men of MT.
 Pllrkiss' position about the great
 success of Southern Baptists in their
 great $75.0o0 GOO campaign-who have
 playing around the s10O, ,0o0, ,00O
 mark. This mention is made as a
 stimulous. But these men do not say l so much about the action of the } Southern Baptist convention at At , lanta last year, when only two (oui of, not 1000 but about 4,000 or more delegates) voted to enter the inter- church movement as well as in the 1 fact that there are two or more South ern Baptists to one Northern Baptist + Is due to the fact that Southern Bap- ! lists do not have major" and min ? or conYictienss they just have con. l yictions; and they stand by them l let the chips fall where they may. tl On February 29th. we preached 1T l our small ministry a sermon or : "The Interchurch Programme V.
 Gods Programme" The Fhtst edi
 ton was not sufficient to fill the de,
 mands that have come from far ant :. near for copies of that sermon. 4 new edition of the sermon is bein, n printed and persons wishing to know
 more of the corruption in the inter
 church movement will learn some O c it by reading this sermon, which vii h be sent free upon receipt of bus mess envelope together with a tw,
