How often we see families of very limited means strain ing every muscle to the breaking point trying to Dress, Dress, just as so and so—-how often we see fathers, and mothers slaving, toiling, denying themselves the very bread and meat . of life in order to buy some new fan cied style contramption for their chil dren and then after all their care and toil that child is of all beings the most unthankful and peevish. Oh ye proud ana haughty hell bound race of chil dren, What shall be your end? Look ye whose eyes are clear see the devas tation of their great .plague. Fast living day after day we hear people say» I would gladly buy this or that to ease the toil of my hands, how oft repeated is, O I would gladly help this or that good work but I just have not the money to spare—false—how much have they spent for whiskey or for snuff and tobacco to injure their health and then again for thi'^ or that foolish and unnecessary thing. Count them. You know what they are. Count them one by one and add them up. And place the total by that which you have spent for some good cause and see the difference, Oh, how much? Fathers and Mothers, wake up. some of you are to blame for this fev erish vanity of your children. Awake X say and examine yourselves whither are ye speeded? Down bmkes, for the £rack over which you are going surely leads downward and sooner or later there will inevitably be a \VTeck. Men and women, boys and girls, You must slow dow. The pace is kill ing.

So spoke a Republican senator lo- day at th6 same lime particularizing that he did not care to have his name attached to the statement. It is in this spirit that the Repub licans in congress are meeting decla- ratioris of Colonel Roosevelt and the Progressives that the Republicans must come into their camp if they want to unite in opposition to the Democratic pai ty. The prediction of Representative Hinebaugh, chairman of the Progress ive congressional committee, that T« R. will be indorsed by the Republi cans in 1916 after being nominated by the Progressive convention has stirred Qp much resentment among members, of the old party. . 1 Tru^^t May .

GibsonWIle had runners on the second and thirdwhen a long fly was hit to center field. The fielder caught the ball and both runners tagged the bases and advanced. The catcher missed the throw in and the umpire permitted both men to score, which decision Swepsonville disputed, claim ing that on account of a ground rule allowing only one base on a passed ball over home, that the runner on second shald not score.
