SMYRNA TEAM HAS off DAY"
Loses to MiddletOwn In One of the
Closest Games of The Season

Loses to MlddletOWn IN Ohe VI the
Closest Games of The Season
Smyrna baseball club, with several
auto loads of fans motored to Mid
dletown Saturday afternoon and lost
to the Middletown nine in close and
exciting game 3 to 2. 1t was not un-
til the 9th inning that Middletown
scored the winning run. While there
was tense excitement throughout the
contest, it was plainly seen it was an
"off day" for Smyrna. Gordon Turn
er was not in usual form and allowed
too many bases on balls, giving Mid
dletown this added advantage. There
were also some costly errors at short
and in the outfeld that were costly.
However, to the fans who like to see
a close and exciting contest, the game
was anybody's until the last inning.
Considering that the Middletown team
consists almost entirely of hired semi
professional players and Smyrna is a
home team, our boys did exceedingly
well. The score was as follows:

Pueblo chieftain., 1921-12-04
THE PUEBLO CHIEFTAIN

comes from . lifetime Of hard intel
lectual work. 1t is easy to envisage
him. at his age and with his philoso-
phic temperament, surveying the
world from the standpoint of one who
must have begun to consider the time
when.he shall leave it. Looking at the
world with this serene abstraction, and
determined to bequeath to 1t the heri
tage of the best work Of a career al
ready crowded with achievement, he
considers the tides OF evolution ana
the stars Of direction and puts his
mind upon what IL best to be done
about that four hundred million hu-
man beings who compose the larC Sc
single nation on the earth's surface
what is best to be done not only about
the four hundred millions for their
own sake. but about their big and close
relation to a world which wobblee dan
gerously on the No Mans Land be-
tween chaos and order.
1t would have been appallingly easy
to get off with the wrong foot about
China, and it would have had terrify-
ing consequences II that had happened.
The theory upon which the subject of
China was taken up was probably an
axiom of intellectual habit with a man
of Mr.. Roots discipline OF mind. A
less competent brain might readily
have chosen the more obvious way,
and the more obvious way would have
been the fatally wrong way. The OBJ
vious thing would have been to take
up the disputed aspects of China one
by one-to begin by Quarrelling about
postoffices and then to pass to tariffs
IN state Of mind made acrimonious
by dispute. That course would have
led to the maximum OF controversy.
But the theory upon which Root led
off was based on considering first not
the points of controversy about China
but tbs points OF agreement The the
ory was first to enumerate and set
down those aspects OF China as to
which there was no dissent and leave
for later discussion those things which
were described In the invitation to the
conference As the remaining causes
Pueblo chieftain., 1921-12-04

of friction in the world Among other
advantages, this method Of approach
had that of creating in the conference
spirit of harmony and agreement
with which to take up afterward those
aspects OF the question which required
the smoothing out of differences. In
this spirit Mr.. Root formulated out OF
difference. In this spirit Mr. Root
formulated the statement of principles,
to which all subscribed. Since then,
for the present and long as the dis
cussion Of China continues, 1t Is mere
ly question of testing one detail
after another as to whether 1t falls
within or without the principles agreed
upon.
BY this mechanism of discussion, OBJ
stacles fall aside like cards, and dis
sension or angry emotion has nteraiiy
no chance to arise. 1t is mere mat
ter of matching the given set of facts
with the principle involved, coldly
intellectual process that not only IN
wolves no heat of emotion, but actu-
ally puts all anger or selfishness IN
the position of an impossible intruder
Mr.. Root engaged in this process Is
q spectacle to enrich the ina agfnaton.
At an age and with a relation to the
world that frees him from any neces-
sity for considerations OF party OF
fractional or personal interest, he
takes the visible universe for his client
and. lays down q course OF action
whose results will have fairly large
determining influence on what the
world is to be century after Mr.. Root
has departed from it.
China is infinitely tne most perilous
and difficult part OF the conference;
but there can be no possible doubt that
men of reason. following Mr.. Roots
method of approach, will arrive at
agreement. Here is world In which
civilization has become relatively
small island surrounded by the chaos
~ Russia's two hundred million with
central Europe's hundred million and
midas three hundred million totter-
ing toward a degree of collapse tnat
the men in the conference know better

now or in due course of time will radi-
ate thruout the country, and, to a de-
gree, thruout the world. and will tend
to create that will for peace" which
Hughes speaks of as the essential uf-
innate goal of what is being attempt
ed.
Harding and Hughes are the most
publicly conspicuous of the Americans
who have part in the conference. At
least that is true up to date. During
the next week or two 1t may be pos
sible that the role of Mr Elihu Root
VIII be seen as large as that of Hard
Ing and Hughes. We are just getting
into that part of the conference which
mas been Mr.. Roots especially task.
and If his role in the conference does
not happen to become spectacular in
the news OF next week, it is very sure
to be realized in the years to come.
when the historians have access to ali
the papers and are able to weigh what
has been done with the detachment of
time and distance.
Root. as he stands today. is a spec
tacle to command the attention like
some splendid monument. There he
stands, at the age Of eeventy-sfx, with
a brain that was richly endowed in
the beginning, and has now the acute
refinement and fine efficiency that

than any one else. Under this set of
conditions is it possible that the ma
tons who compose this receding ane
imperilied island of civilization will
choose to add four hundred millions
more to the sea of chaos? Even on
the basis of cold self interest, tn
short sighted selfishness that would
divide China up must yield to the more
slightened self interest that will re-
store 1t and maintain 1t for civiliza-
ton. The mon of reason who compose
the conference will see that the thinl
to do about China Is not to steal 1t but
to heal it.

warm he went to sleep almost i'm
mediately while in sitting posi-
ton. Fhe central girl at North
gate was asleep in a bed in the room
at the time, and she did not know
OF his presence until the following
morning, when she went out with
out him even seeing her. Cling
man knew the girl was in the room
when he broke in, put what his in
tentions were is not known. What
ever his intentions were he did not
carry them out, or even attempt to
carry them out. as he was too much
under the influence of liquor. In
passing sentence Judge Lowe said
that the only reason that he was
not sending Clingman to the peni-
Tertiary for several years was the
fact that he was drunk at the time
the crime was committed. Had
Clingman been sober the sentence
would have been at least five years
in the pen.

HAGAN TO SPEAK
HERE OCT. "a

John N. Hagan, commissioners OF
agriculture and labor, and one Of
the three members OF the board OF
administration that is sought to be
recalled by the parasite element OF
the state, will speak in Bowbells on
Monday, Oct. "a, and 1t is believed
that he will draw even q larger
audience than that drawn by AttOr-
ney General Lemke last week. Mr..
Hagan is forcefnl speaker, and
without any abuse OF any kind
gives the facts In regard to what
has been done during the time he
held state Office In way that every
one can easily understand what he
Is talking about.
There are a large number Of
farmers in Burke county who have
not yet heard Mr.. Hagan speak,
and his visit TO Bowbells at this
time will be welcomed by all of
them. Women are especially urged
to attend the meeting, and learn
flrst hand what the fight Is all
about and how they should vote to
protect their own interests.

FARM
HOUSE BURNED

The large and modern residence
on the Emerson farm in North Star
township was entirely destroyed by
fire Wednesday morning at about
ten O'Clock, together with conf
pIete set OF household furniture be-
longing to G. A. Masters. the pres
ent owner Of the property. The
building was valued at about $4,000,
and the contents about $1,000,
partly covered by insurance.
The origin Of the fire is unknown.
Mr.. Masters spent the night at the
place and left there at about seven
in the morning after doing the
chores. No one else was on the
place until after nine when Helmer
Swenson went to the pasture to get
some horses, but did not 60 near
the house. After getting his horses
and starting down the road with
them he looked back and saw smoke
issuing from the roof. He was
then about a quarter of mile
away. He met a car ana told them
he thought the house must be on
fire, and all went to tn place at
once, but the entire inside Of the
building was a mass Of flames and
nothing could be done to save eth
er the house or its contents. 9th
er buildings on the place were not
very far distant from the house
and had the wind been blowing
from any other direction than it
was the barn containing Is tons of
hay, about a. dozen horses, and 9TH
er property, as well as machine
sheds would have also been de-
str0yed.
The house was built some years
ago bv ]. e. Emerson and was mod
ern In every particular. It had a
full basement, q heating plant. pri-
vate sewer system, a water system
which provided hot and cold water,
was finished on the inside with
hard wood, and in every way was
as modern as possible.

new POOL HALL
- :. - .'-' - ~ 81
TO OPEN TO-DAY.

"a new pool hall will be opened
up for business at the Glenn build
ing on main street in this city to-
morrow morning unuer the man-
agement OF Charlie Rye and Pete
Koch. In connection with the pool
tables lunch counter will be COM
Quoted, and confectionery and to-
baccos will be sold. Mr.. Koch, is
well known to all local people and
needs no Introduction from us. He
has been a resident here for many
years, working out most Of the
time until about five years ago
when she started farming for him-
self. He was engaged in farming
until this fall, when he disposed OF
most of his equipment, and does
not intend to farm any in the fu-
ture.
Mr.. Rye is an experienced pool
hall man, and has always made q
huge success of this line Of work IN
all places where he had charge OF
this work. He came to Bowbells
about the time that threshing first
started here this season, and after
working out for a snort time, he
purchased the Westminster rig, and
operated that until the run was
completed. He has studied the
wants of the public during the sew
eral years that he was in business,
and knows just what to do to salts
fy his patrons, and make his place
a popular one in which to spend an
hour or two during either the af-
ternoon or evening. We opine that
the Rye & Koch pool hall will en-
Joy a good patronage right from
the start. and that after the SER
vice of the place Is known to every
one the boys will have about all
the business they will be able to
handle all the time.

lYCEUm COURSE
STARTS NEXT week

The first number Of the entertain
ment course which is being promot-
ed by the high school faculty is
booked for Friday, October FL.
This will be the Waverly Concert
Party. three young ladies who give
varied program of vocal and in
strumental selections, readings, and
costumed sketches. This company
comes very highly recommended, as
they have been a pronounced hit
from the time they entered the ly-
,ceum work and are said to be the
most In demand Of any ladies trio
in the field.
: The party Is composed of Miss
Louise Waggoner, who is the So
prano with the double voice, a legi-
innate musical gift that enables her
to sing operate arias in dramatic
soprano voice and change to a rich
baritone for the latter half. Ruth
Hunt is the reader and contralto,
and Pearl Stadel is the marimba-
phone soloist. Each of the artists
has high ability combined with the
intelligence and personal magnet-
ism SO important in platform art
istry.
The faculty has been quite sue
cessful In the selling of season
tickets, and the success of the course
from a standpoint of attendance Is
practically guaranteed. About sew
enty-five adult tickets have been
sold, and no effort has yet been
made to dispose of the children's
season tickets. With the number
OF single admission tickets which
will probably be sold at each num-
ber, there should always be a good
sized audience to greet the enter
tainers.
The program will be in the high
school auditorium, beginning at
8:15. The price or single admis-
sions will be 60c and 30c.
