As he waved the. picture _ of Roosevelt slowly up and down, just as Mrs. Carâ€" son Lake waved her sunshade in the effort to stampede for Blaine in the Minneapolis convention in 1892, there were cries all over the convention for Roosevelt, The refrain, "Four, four, four years more" was taken up and sawelled and resounded until a great Americar flag bearing the picture of Roosevelt was brought in the gallery just behind Senator Lodge. This awakâ€" ened _ more shouts, more yells, more cries for Roosevelt.

The band switched to "Marching Through Georgia," and other patriotic airs, and the tumult was even louder. All this went on for 24 minutes. The band, high up in the loft, began to play Julia Ward Howe‘s "The Battle Hymn of the Republic," and a great awelling chorus took up the patriotic hymn. Enthusiastic admirers of Taft brought in a picture, a tremendous one, and so big was it that Senator Lodge ordered it to be taken out again. It enâ€" cumbered the scene.

The serious prevalence of race track gambling at the Woodbine was deplored by the Committee on _ State ol the Church in its second report. Dominion legislation making it unquestionably iâ€" legal was urged. The report deplored the aitendance of so many members of the Church of England at the race meetâ€" ings, also their indulgence in excessive and indiscriminate novelâ€"reading, weekâ€" end excursions and "bridge." ‘l{-- prevâ€" alent lack of parental supervision of their children‘s habits and conduct, alâ€" lowing unhealthy intercourse and intiâ€" macy between young men and young women, was deeply regretted. _ Daily family wor-::r and periodical ‘rruchinl missions in parishes were advocated. "It is not merely a question of gamb ling and racing," said Mev, R. J. Moore of Kt. Margaret‘s Church, Toronto, "but a question of utter worldliness. The world is not only penetrating the race course, but it is penetrating the church." a1 "The report should deal with this vital condition," he continued; "this gambling question on the race track for thirteen daysâ€"it is the devil‘s delight! 1 have not got strong enough language to describe it,. We want a John Bunyan to do itâ€"â€"a regular Vanity Fair! This report does not satisfy me in the least. Don‘t let this go forth as the utterance of this Synod on the state of the church." A Toronto despatch: The Church of England of the Diocese of Toronto, by its action in Synod yesterday afterâ€" noon, has ranged itself on the side of the threeâ€"fifths clause in the license. act, Hon. 8. H. Blake‘s motion to that efâ€" fect being carried by a fairâ€"sized majoriâ€" ty. It is thus probably the first church organization to declare publicly for the retention of the clause. The Synod also receded from its action of several pre ceding years by excising the clause in the committee report rehearsing its afâ€" firmation "that public ownership of the liquor traffic would be the true solution of the difficulties in the way of temperâ€" ance reform."

"1 should be sorry if this resolution should go through Synod without one protest," said Rev. T. Beverly Smith, of West Toronto. "This is the first assemâ€" bly of church organization that has enâ€" dorsed the threefifths clause. Any law that requires a threedifths vote to reâ€" ‘ peal it might far better never have been passed; it must be radically wrong." Permanency, he contended, did not deâ€" End at all on the size of the majority, cking up his claim by stating that two years ago fortyfive places might have tried to repeal local option, but _ only eight tried, and only one succeeded, while last year thirtyâ€"four places might }lun'e tried repeal, only eight tried it, and again only one succeeded. It was all very well to say a strong temperâ€" ance sentiment was needed behind it, but actual experience was the best tast. ‘"The whole thing depends," he said, "upâ€" ) on the backbone and spirit of the people who ought to enforce the law," and he added: ‘There are two classes of people anxious about this threefifths clause: the liquor men want the clause left as it is, the temperance people want it reâ€" pealed. The Church of England comes in and says, ‘We are with the liquor men,‘ (Great cries of ‘No! No! No!‘). All I ask is that you leave the thing alone, and say nothing about it." & "Une of the most deteriorating things in the whole country, where our young men and maidens and old men and woâ€" men go, and everybody down _ there takes a part in it," was Mr. Blake‘s camment on the Woodbine race track gambling, which, he thought, should have been mentioned in the report of the Committee on the State of _ the Church. "A disgraceful thing, and exâ€" cept for the gambling that is there the race track wouldn‘t exist. Mr, Berringham Seriously Injured Whils Visiting the O. A. C.
