LITTLE HOPES THAT EITHER ONE

Il was stated in these columns June

down and dragging out time at the
converting Of the Democratic National
Convention which started to hold forth
in New York City june "a AT the
convening Of the history-malSing con

would be transformed into a mad

some Of the most eminent men in this
country lost their reason and con-
Quoted themselves ike british beasts

There is no disposition on our part
to heave any brickbats at any one but
we honestly feel that grave mistake
was made when it was decided to in
troduce and pass the resolution which
had for its bitter object the condemn
ing Of the hateful K, K. KS, which
reused up or woke up all the religious
bitterness that has been stirred up in
this country in the past BY attempting
to pass that unwise resolution at that
time men who had been fast friends
for 80 and 40 years became deadly
enemies and were ready to clutch each
other by throats while fighting and
contending for their religion Or their
firm set religious ideas.
AT no stage Of the political game in
this country should there be made the
slightest attempt to drag the Roman
Catholic Church, the Old Mother

'hort-sighted statemanship on the part
Of our present day political leaders to
attempt to drag the church down and
mix it up in the dirty or rotten pool

The raising Of the K. K. K. issue

Col William Jennings Bryan, who is
the greatest living American statesman
today for pouring enough of oil on the
troubled political waters to prevent his
fellow Democrats on Saturday eve

beautiful Madison Square Gardens into
a human slaughter house where hun

would have been murdered in cold

CHAPTER III-Continued


Ellen would have recognized him In
stantly from the picture. His head,
bare in the sunshine, was silver, and
the lean, clever face she remembered
was clear olive in coloring, and bright
ened now with a most winning and
kindly smile. Ellen's first rather awed
impression was of poise, reserve, self
confidence. Authority spoke in the
pleasant voice, and every inch of the
man was stamped to her young vision
with fineness, an aristocracy, q some
thing that marked him superior to
others.

explanations from the newcomers, as
to their reasons for leaving Great
harrington, and their first details of

Golf Need Not Be

Chicago proves that golf need not
be an expensive game. OF all the pub

not a single one has lost on the In
vestment. The green's fee is the source
of revenue for these courses.
What makes golf so expensive to
most of US is not golf. but the social
side of the thing. Golf as a sport
is cheap enough. but people are not
content to take golf as sport; they
take II as a social enterprise. Mag

service and entertainment are the
things that make golf expensive.
1t is not golf. but the modern stage
for golf that makes it a game for
the wealthy. Golf clubs are modelled
after the mansions and estates Of

economize, but to expend lavishly and

Anything that can be done by the

this test will be DONE" the commander

realize that, under present conditions,
One Of the best guarantees for that
peace is adequate preparedness.
