It's a queer thing in this connection that the Monongahela society has been up among the winners ever since its organization in 1889.

Deadly rival, however, is Johnstown, which vies with Monongahela for the position of being the district's most active outfit.

Gallatin, the pride of district soccerdom, will meet Castle Shan non tomorrow on West Newton High, school field in the second game of a two-out-of-three playoff series for the Western Pennsylvania Senior cup. The Tigers will kick as they've seldom kicked before, knowing that victory means the return of the prodigal trophy after an absence of 10 years. Castle Shannon lost the first match two weeks ago when Kevish, Shannon left back, hoofed trie ball through his own goal and Sam Bedogne, Gallatin left back, kicked in a penalty shot. A new battle formation, worked out out at the last game when the Tigers saw themselves hopelessly out-maneuvered in the opening phases, is expected to click again this time and to place the cup in local hands.

Charles Chislaghi will replace C. Bedogne in center half and ex-substitute Patty Pascarella will handle Chislaghi's old job at right half. The two soccer teams, more accustomed to good wholesome mud than the postponement-conscious baseball nines, said today that the game will be played unless the field is made absolutely untenable by rain tomorrow.

Hutchison said. Next comes devaluation of the currency and inflation of credit and finally appropriation, under one pretext or another. The stage is then set for a dictator. A dictator doesn't destroy a democracy, the educator asserted, he merely takes charge when a democracy destroys itself. This, he declared, is the lesson history shows.

Dr. Hutchison deplored the indifference of Americans to inefficiency in government and the prevalence of corruption in public office. He said that this was one of the differences between despotism and democracy. Whereas democracy insists on integrity at the top and condones corruption and inefficiency in the lesser offices, the dictator becomes the "big robber" at the top and insists upon efficiency in the lower offices. He said the national political parties, in their conventions this year, would draw up platforms which will appeal to the greed and avarice of selfish sectional groups in all parts of the country.
