The Evening Republican.

Promoter Objects to Slight of Wrestlers. Levy Smart, who si; ns himself Manager of Hall and Matchmaker for th(s match, asks The Republican to correct a statement that the Morocco celebration of Memorial Day by a wrestling match between Johnny Billiter and Fred Hall is a match between “unknowns.” He states that anyone who reads a paper in the line of sports knows that JSillrter is the world’s lightweight champion and “Mr.” Fred Hall has “throwed” every man up to Billiter. We are sorry to have said anything that shocks the sensibilities of these grapplers but we still incline to the idea that when real champ come to a small town to puU off a match they arp looking for suckers instead of honors.

Dates for Holding County S. S. Conventions Are Mostly Set.

The officers of the Jasper County Sunday School Association are busy visiting the various schools in the county and arranging for conventions to be held in each township before the state convention, which will convene in Muncie the latter part of June. Miss Eimpson and Wz L. Bott visited the townships of Wheatfield and Kankakee Sunday morning an.l held a township convention at 'Wheatfield and Tefft in the afternoon. J. N. Leatherman, L. H. Hamilton and Mrs. J. I. Gwin visited the three schools in Gillam township on the same day and arranged for the‘convention to be held the second Sunday in June at West Vernon. Barkley and Union will have an all day meeting the firsr at the Barkley M. E. church and the latter at Rosebud June 11th. A township convention will be held in DeMotte next Sunday, May 28th. Hanging Grove and Carpenter will have their conventions June 4th. All the schools in the county must be visited by a county officer and conventions must be held in each township before the state convention if the county is to still maintain the standard of TopNotch, which it has held for the past two years. Every school should do its part in the organized work by keeping up the various departments recommended by the state, viz. graded lessons, cradle roll, home department, temperance, missionary and organized classes. Each township officer should see to it that there s an officer in each school doing the work of the department of which he is superintendent. Persons who have been elected or appointed to these offices should do all possible to further the interests of their departments. If the work js neglected as it is in many cases the work of the county officers is made much heavier, the standard of the county is lowered and the work in the individual school grows more or less monotonous and uninteresting. If there is a lack of information on the part of anyone he has only to write to the Indiana Sunday School Association, 417-420 Law Bldg., Indianapoils, Ind., stating what information is needed and an abundance of printed matter will be sent free. Let us each one do all possible to make the work all that it should he.— Press Supt. Jasper Co. S. S. Ass’n.

Lansing to Be President Of U. S. For Entire Day.

Washington, M. ; £3. —Robert Lansing, secretary of state, wifi be the next president of the United States. This is neither a wild speculation of a politician nor the prediction of a Washington correspondent for home consumption. It is an actual fact. Barring the death of Mr. Lansing he will be the nextHpresident, Mr. Wilson, Mr. Ford, Colonel Roosevelt, Senator Burton and a host of native sons notwithstanding. Now, we’ll explain. President Wilson’s term of office expires March 4, 1917. Likewise does that of Vice President Marshall. Now it happens March 4 will fall on. Sunday, and the new president can not be inducted into office until Monday, the sth. Therefore, who becomes president ? The terms of president and vicepresident having expired, under the constitution, the office falls on the secretary of state. Thus Mr. Lansing will be president for a day, with fulF power to occupy the white house arid sign papers of state.
