That was surely an impressive demonstration that the children of the city schools made at Brooks' Field on Friday afternoon. It was all that it was Intended to be, an outstanding review and demon stration of the results of physical education in Scranton's public schools. There were about 8,000 school children there and they overflowed the street cars and blocked traffic to some extent when they were unloading. Participating were the children of the forty six grammar trades and of The acre ton Republican la a member 01 1'he Associated Press rhe Associated Press is exclusively entitled to the use (or republication ot all news dispatches credited to it, or not otherwise credited in this psper. and also the local news published herein All rights ol republication ot pedal dlspetehes herein are also reserved.

Herbert Hoover's voice within their homes Satur Whence Came the Indians Professor Herbert J. Spinden of Harvard University, an admitted authority, by an article in the October Geographical Review, has revived interest in the question, "Whence came the American Indians." Professor Spinden does not attempt to answer the question, contenting himself with the thought that the unsatisfactory nature of the information on the subject will make neccessary much more extensive studies before it will be possible to determine the original migration' route of the red men. One positive statement he makes. There are now about 25,000,000 Indians in the new world which is much less than were jiere when Columbus made his discovery. dent also has the responsibility of cooperating with Congress in the enactment of laws and securing their enforcement.

In the determination of policies he is not only the leader of a party. He is more than. this. He is the President of the whole people. He must interpret the conscience of America.

He must guide his conduct by 'the idealism of onr people. The Presidency is no dictatorship. It is not intended to Safeguards are provided to prevent it Our fathers knew that men were not made for government but government for men to aid and to serve them. Our government rests solely upon the will of the people; it springs from the people; its policies must be approved by the people. As Herbert Hoover the candidate indulges in no word of buncombe, departs entirely from the style of stump speaking, is drawn into no personalities or even remarks concerning the Opposition, notices no slurs nor attacks and makes none, but hits out from the shoulder with a constructive statesmanship bred within him of thought, character and experience, so1 he demonstrates to 120,000,000 people precisely what kind of a President he will make.

Men and issues are safe in the people's hands. American intellect makes no blunders. To hear or read Herbert Hoover's addresses renders it possible for each citizen to arrive at his or her own unerring conviction. And he inspires our pride. Farewell to Dr.

Gray All Scranton joins with the congregation of Elm Park Church in a regret tinged with sadness at the necessity of bidding farewell to the renowned clergyman, Dr. Joseph M. M. Gray. To the large congregation he has devoutly served for eight years, Dr.

Gray preached his farewell sermon last evening. He goes, carrying love, esteem, admiration with him, to the pastorate of Central Church, Detroit, a large, ancient and mighty House of God. During Dr. Gray's eight years in Scranton, Elm Park has increased notably in membership, while its church property has more than tripled in value; and. the activities of the institution have extended to very much broader horizons of service, welfare and education.

Dr. Gray's influence for good on Scranton generally were in keeping with his wise leadership in carrying his church to new heights. Active in Cham day. Whether they did so or not, we advise them to read every word of this monumental paper. It is published in full in this morning's Republican.

The sudden death of Charles Col well, for twenty three years stage manager of the Poll theater, who had held that position since the house was opened, came as a great shock to his wide circle of friends in Scranton and throughout the country. Because of his theater connections he. had been a member of the Stage Hands Union for forty years Mr.

Colwell had friends In all parts of the United States. He was pleasant, quiet, kind of heart, with a kind word for all and unpleasant reference for none. He had been around'the world with Thurston before going to the Poll. While he had been in poor health for four or five weeks he was believed to be on the road to recovery when he suffered a heart attack. Mr.

Colwell was of inestimable value to the theater with which he was connected. He was a Mason, a Shriner, and also a member of the local area of Eagles. Scranton was visited by former President Judge Henry A. Fuller at the close of the past week when he came here to address the forces ot the Mutual Life Insurance Company of New York, who held a banquet at Hotel Casey. In the olden days Judge Puller came to Scranton often.

Now his visits are as rare as they are welcome. The rich humor, semi comic at times, which always marks Judge Puller's public efforts, was very much in evidence. There was nothing id reveal the advance of years in the mental vigor he revealed although he con SCRANTON, OCTOBER 8, 1928 were present.

Remarkable Clock Exhibition One of the most unusual of exhibitions will be reviewed this week in New York. It will be the famous Wetherfield collection of English clocks, which will be shown about the middle of this month.

There are one hundred and eleven clocks, just half the number that the late David E. F. Wetherfield collected after forty years of diligent effort. Most of these are of the tail or "Grandfather" variety, the others being of the bracket A unique feature is that eleven of the clocks were made by Thomas Tompion (1639 1713) whd is known as "the father of English watchmaking." Some of these clocks are 250 years old, were made for English nobles, and were preserved as heirlooms. They still run after centuries of time telling.

They have substantial bodies, not, however, made of matter, but made, as I think, of ether. In order to operate on our senses, they must work through matter. My experience, after 50 years, has" been that this is true. General experience, at least, does not confirm that of Sir Oliver Lodge, and further one must always bear in mind that in disputed questions the dinner speakers. I remember him tuate certain of his statements.

Let. us mention a few, without, attempting an abstract of a document in which there is no unwasted or superfluous word or phrase: The South: There are in the South about 8,000,000 families and in this period (since 1921) they have shown increase in numbers by perhaps 10 per Contrasted with this the manufacturing output has increased by over sixty per cent. The number of employes has increased by oyer thirty per cent. The value of crops has increased by over' forty five per cent. The shipments from Southern ports have increased by fifty per cent; the net income of your railways has grown by over one hundred and forty per cent; electrical power in use has been increased by one hundred and twenty five per cent.

One of his great principles is to keep mere say so of any person, however eminent, is never enough to carry his great Ode. Sir Oliver held that, in some sense, we must have been In existence before we became men and women, not, however, as personalitls, but in some vague way that we do not understand. This is a long way below foreign influences out of Argentine.

of immortality, as distinguished from eternality. Sir Oliver Lodge firmly believes, as Wordsworth did and said, that the soul survives the death of the body, and can not go out of existence, even If it so, desired. Sir Oliver bases his belief, however, not on faith, as Christians do, nor on reason, as the pagan philosophers ol old did, but on direct experience, that is, on communication with the spirits of those who have passed Into the Great Beyond. That is the point at which faith, reason, and common sense alike part company with the great modern scientist. How can the communication which he mentions be effected? This Is what he says on that phase ot the subject: I have been in touch with minds of certain people who have parted from their bodies.

How can a mind get into touch with us when It has no body? It must borrow some material conviction.
