With the drizzling rain and wintry wind Wednesday was not an ideal- weather day for baseball, but the weather conditions and the wet and soggy fleld were not emough to stop the Westerly high schcol team from playing a game on the Vose grounds with the Bryant and Stratton team of Providence. The high schoel team was hoking in seme of the regular players, but they started in to defeat the typewriters and they dfd it in fine shape. Pltcher Spencer was in fine fottle and the- Providence boys were strike outs. That's abewnt all there was team. The high scheol boys did not care to whip the visitors too badly, i and took enly four runs, and consider- easy, for he is credited with eighteen | to the game, as the visitors were sim- | ply outclassed by the weakened home | ! | i ately gave one to the short handed boys. The attendance was small, but fuily as large as could be reasonably ex. pected, as none but the worst seasoned of fans would risk their lives to see a ‘baseball game in such wretched weath- er. in view of the fact that Governor Pothier h vetoed among other ap- propriationg that for the construection of new highways, it is qguite probable that the work commenced on the Shore road last season will not be Complet- ed until funds are available. The state board of public roads’at a meat- ing Wednesday afternoon, practically decided that it would be necessary to lay off some of the office employes, englnur: and inspectors, although no definite action was taken. There is no money for any new construction wokr. The repair work, which is paid out of the money collected for automobile li- censes, is to continue. No construc- tion work has been dene since last fall, and no work will be started for the present under the direction of the board. A epecial train passed through West. erly at twe o'clock Wednesday after- noon, bound to Providence, with over one hundred members of Lafayette consistory, who twere the guests of the Rhode Island consistory, and work- ed the Ecottish Rite degree last night. The party was headed by Charles M. Gerdenier, commander In chief, and on arrivel in Providence they were re- ceived by a reception committes head- ed by Frederick I. Dana, commander in chief of Rhode Island consistory. Several members of the order attended frcm Westerly. Local Laconics. Daniel J. Sully is at his Watch Hill cottage. Dexter R.

The reason for the recent cancella. tion eof the baseball game with the Swift college team was that the ma- jority of the plavers of the Westerly high schoo! were not up to the re- juired standard in their studies.

There is safety for the ‘nation so long as the boys and girls are taught to respect the old soldiers and salute the flag. This is a rich nation, and yet 20,- 000,000 people face want every day and 10,000,000 are .below the hunger line. One per cent. of all the people in New York are buried in the Pot- ter's field. Jesus Christ was the first friend of laboring men. The church ought to stand for the rights of capital and labor and see that both get. justice. Jabor is essential to capital and labor cannot get along without capital. I see splendid signs in the horizon, Missionary zeal is rising and the spirit of the rech is rising. The Christian religion i1s not a dog- ma. You caan teach Buddhism of Christ. You can teach Buddhism without Buddha and Confuchianism without Confucius, but you can’t teach | Christianity without Christ. You say you go to church. So does the devil. Some of the biggest devils this side of hell go to church, and; some of them sit in the pews. The world never knew humanity un- til Christ taught humanity Some of vou folks who swell up like a poisonad pup and talik about humarity don’t know the meaning of the word. Without the life of Christ there is no perfect teacher. Without the death of Christ there ment without the resurrection, no hope. You talk about your clean-up day in Toledo.
