watch belonged to the Rev. George

st. Stephens for IS years. 1t was be-
queathed to DIR. Dudley on the death
of his father.
The robbers apparently entered
through the front door. The door is
never closed, but this is the first
time the church has ever been rob-
bed, DR.. Dudley said.
Burton Montgomery, a colored sex
ton, who has been with the church
&c years. discovered the thefts. Had
the robbers come yesterday, DIR. Dud-

THE HYMN OF HATE

And this hate-not men, nor flag nor race,
But only War with its wild, grinning face.
God strike it until it's eyes be blind night,
And all its members tremble with alright!
Oh, let it hear in its death agony
The wall of mothers for their bestowed ones,
And on it's head
Descend the venomed curses of it's sons
Who followed her, deluded, where its guns
Had dyed the daisies red.
All these / hate-war and it's panoply,
The lie that hides its CHASTITY mockery,
That makes its glories out of women's tears,
The toll of peasants through the burdened years,
The legacy of long disease that preys
On bone and body in the after-days.
Gods curses pour,
Until it shrivels with its votaries
And die away in its own fiery seas,
That nevermore
It's dreadful call of murder may be heard;
thing accursed in very word and deed
From blood-drenched shore to shore!

These two facts are among the most satisfactory
news of the past several days. Congratulations
are due both the Governor and Lud The latter
has served his apprenticeship in many situations
and in many complications. That apprenticeship
will stand him in good stead in his new job of
helping the Governor to run the affairs of the
State with smoothness and celebrity. Lud tried
newspaper work and made great big success at
it. He tried soldering in the World War and
made bigger in it. He has, for we
don't know quite how many years, tried the job
of being a good citizen and has made the biggest
success of all in this, his most difficult job. He
has the ability, the energy and the integrity to
make his new office as big success as his other
undertakings. The Governor had the wisdom to
this, and when he needed just that sort of a
he called Lud Everybody concerned is
to be congratulated upon the Governors good
sense.

With the New York Yankees and
the Philadelphia Athletics in a tie
for the leadership Of the American
league today, Bismarck baseball fans
will see the two leaders battle out
their series tomorrow, Tuesday, and
Wednesday.
The Bismarck fans will see the
games play by play on an electric
scoreboard at the Rex theater. The
reports Of each play in the series
will come over the Western Union
wires and be relayed to the Rex
theater where they will be flashed
on the electric board Immediately.
The last three world series have
been displayed in this fashion in Bis
marck.
Local fans are cup in the air"
over the close race that has been
staged in the American league this
year after the New York Yankees
began to tumble from their 13-game
lead.
Scribes all over the United States
have been trying to solve the reason
for the Yankee downfall. Many at
tribute it to the loss of Tony Laz-
zeri, infielder, who was injured when
the slump began and has returned
to the lineup only recently.
Scribes are giving the Athletics
the advantage in the coming series
for the reason that the AS are play
ing uphill while the Yanks are play
ing downhill baseball. Bob Lefty"
Grove, has won IA consecutive
games, bringing his total for the
season to 20. Grove is expected to
90 big in the coming series but he
hasn't been able to whip the Yanks
this year.
