CINCINNATI CELTS VS. PINE VILLAGE

Famous Cincinnati Team Will Probably Meet Pine Village Here Next Sunday—Park Reserved. A phone call from Claire Rhoades, manager of the Pine Village football eleven, to B. F. Fendig, owner of Riverside Park, asked the latter to reserve Riverside Park for next Sunday, Oct. 29th. Mr. Rhoades states that they were to meet_ the Cincinnati Celts on this date and wished to play the game in Rensselaer. It is taken for granted that the game will be played here on that date, since the park has been reserved. Mr. Rhoades has not arrived in Rensselaer as yet to make arrangements for the game and the advertising, but is expected to do so within a day or 'two. v The Cincinnati Celts are a real football team and when Pine Village stacks up against them they Will not be playing a team of the Valparaiso Standard, the team that made the former game played here by Pine Village such a farce. The Cincinnati Celts held the Fort Wayne Friars to a tie score at Fort Wayne last Sunday.

Fort Wayne has defeated the strong Hammond club and ad it is easily seen that the Villagers have a real team to oppose them Sunday. The class of Independent football teams in Indiana and the neighboring states is steadily improving and it would not be at all surprising if. the Pine Village team met their Waterloo at not a very distant date. The Villagers defeated Decatur, 111., last Sunday 12 to 7. Authentic word from manager Rhoades is expected some time today as to whether the game will be played or not.

Insult Prompts Grandson to Put Flowers on Grave of Veteran.

Columbus, Ind., Oct. 23.—The Rev. William Hart, 83 years aid, of Monroeville, 0., came here today and placed flowers on the grave of his grandfather; Joseph Hart, a veteran of the revolutionary war, who is buried in the Sandhill Cemetery near this city. The Rev. Mr. Hart said he was prompted to pay his respects to his dead ancestor by reports of a speech credited to Newton 1). Baker, secretary of w T ar, in which the secretary is said to have compared the soldiers of the revolutionary war to the Mexican bandits led by Villa. The Rev. Mr. Hart resents the alleged and says he remembers his grandfather well, but he does not recall any resemblance between him and a Mexican bandit.’

AFTER WITNESSING A PRIVATE EXHIBITION THE REVEREND EDWIN W. TODD, OF TOLEDO, SAIDIt is a truism that ignomAfc'results in sin and sorrow, while on the other hand, education prevents sin and sorrow. I am delighted with the soulstirring way in which your film brings the TRUTH home. And yet even, the more critical can find no objection to the refined and delicate way in. ‘ whichJhe theme is handled. It preaches a wonderful sermon against -he chime of abortion that is .lamentably needed by all classes of AMERICAN society. I wish that everyone could see the picture, “Where Are My Children?” JUDGE BUDROE, OF DAYTON, 0., STATED“That it was as important for every mother and daughter to see this photo play as it was to go to church, and that its presentation throughout the world would do more good than a whole regiment of Billy Sundays.”

DEMAND BAKER QUIT; RESULT OF SPEECH

Eleven Women’s Patriotic Orders Also Ask WHson to Repudiate Remarks. Eleven women’s patriotic orders with headefuarters in Washington, Sunday demanded the resignation of Secretary of War Newton D. Baker on account of Bakerla_jecent speech, in which’he characterized the soldiers of the revolutionary war as comparable with the bandits of Mexico. Resolutions drawn up by these societies not only demanded Baker’3 resignation but demanded that President Wilson repudiate the statements made by Baker, who was campaignin'.: in the interests of the president at the time he made his remarks derogatory to t the revolutionary heroes. The societies which signed the resolution were: National Society of the Daughters of American Revolution: National Society of Children of the Revolution; Daughters of the Founders and Patriots: United States Daughters of 1812: Legion of Loyal Women : Women’s Relief Dames of the Loyal Legion: Xineal Society of tHi" Spanish War: Clara Barton Memorial Association: Ladies Union Veteran Legion; Society of the Army of Tennessee. The resolutions were:

“Whereas, Newton D. Baker, secretary of war in the cabinet of President Wilson, in making a political speech in defense of the Mexican .policy toi. the administration at Jersey City,__jffi—the; —night of Oct. 16, IM6, made the following comparison between the Mexican bandits supporting the various leaders in that country and the soldiers who fought the war for Amerioart independence in 1776, as ToTTorwsi “ ‘Some people say they cannot understand the president’s Mexican policy, and I want to tell you why. They have forgotten our own history and the declaration of independence, and the president has not forgotten either. Why are We impatient at the Mexicans? We say they do not respect the lives and property of our people. Perhaps they don’t. We say thev do not pay their honest debts. They don’t! We say they are a raggamuffin lot. We say their money is not any good. Thats true.It is only worth 2 or 3 cents on the dollar. We say they do not respect church property. That is also true._ “And, whereas, the above is a stenographic transcript of Mr. Baker s remarks and there can be no reasonable doubt as to the intention to characterize the patriots who followed Washington from Bunker Hill to Yorktown as thieves, church looters and disreputable characters generally; be if “Resolved, That w'e, officers of patriotic societies of women, with headquarters in the District of Columbia, do hereby demand the imediate resignation of Newton D. Baker as Secretary of war on the ground that a man of such amazing ignorance of history and so lacking in ideals is not a fit head for the army of the United States of America, and would tend to seriously injure its morals; and be it further

“Resolved, That we, the officers of said patriotic societies,' do hereby demaml that President Wilson repudiate this comparison of Mexican bandits with Washington’s continental armv, made by one of his cabinet ministers in defense of the president’s policy in Mexico: and he it further “Resolved, That as the utterances of such libelous and false statements in regard to the officers and men of the American revolution are unpatriotic and disloyal, and must be most pernicious in their effect upon the loyalty and patriotism of the youth of our nation, we therefore call upon every loyal and patriotic man and wrnnan in America to repudiate this odious comparison and unjust and untrue attack upon our forefathers, the founders of this republic and the declaration of independence.”

Purdue University to Observe Centennial Year the 31st.

Purdue University at Lafayette is to take its place among those schools that have celebrated the centennial and has set aside a day for this, Oct. 31st. This day is peculiarly apt for a pageant celebration because it is the anniversary of two important events in the annals of the university. The first of these is the 115th anniversary of the birth of John Purdue, the founder of the university. The second is the 14th anniversary of the Purdue wreck, in which seventeen persons lost their lives, all of them students except one and most of them members of the Varsity football squad. This wreck occurred on October 31, 1903, when, due to a blunder the “special” which was carrying the Purdue team and rooters to their annual football contest with Indiana at Indianapolis was wrecked just outside of Indianapolis. Both these events will be included in the ceremonies coincident with the centennial pageant. „A gigantic parade of all the university students led by the famous Purdue hand, will precede The pageant in which scenes showing the origin of Indiana, Lafayette and Purdue University will be given by student actors. The rehearsal is now’ in progress and elaborate preparations are being made to show the spirit of the university off to the best advantage on this day. In the evening after a short service in the memory of those who lost their lives in the Purdue wreck, Dr. John W. Cavanaugh, president of Notre Dame, will deliver a centennial address on “What Constitutes a State.”

“Where Are My Children?” At Princess Theatre Tonight.

“Where Are My Children?” the great sermon against race suicide, which will be shown at the Princess theatre tonight, bids the women who refuse motherhood on the plea that children are a responsibility and a care, stand forth and answer the charges against her. In doing this it makes use of certain timely incidents^— he arrest of a physician who circulated birth control literature, the familiar snare of the seducer, and the pitfalls confronting the' young, whose ignorance and curiosity are her weakness. - ISent-to physician- who makes a business of malpractice, this young woman is not so fortunate as the married woman w’ho gave her the address, and dies as a result of the operation. Dying, she confesses. The physician is arrested, tried, convicted and sentenced to fifteen years in prison. During his trial certain of his records fall into the hands of the district attorney, whose wife is one of those who shirks her responsibilities. “Where Are My Children?” is to be classed with the educational films, rather than with those of frivolous fiction and exciting adventure. The Rexall drug stores, 8,000 in number, of which B. F. Fendig’s drug store is one, have been taking a ballot of their customers and have already recorded the political views of over 2,500,000 voters drawn from all walks of life. Before the election the name of the president-elect will be announced in all the Rexall stores and the straw’ vote published simultaneously in the leading newspapers in Unitedi States. -
