Mrs. Rogenski and the Water Inspector.

This morning in Judge NIillers court Mrs.
Mary Rogenski was charged with obstructing a
water inspector while he was in the discharge
of his duty. 1t was shown that when the in
spector went to Mrs. Rogenskis house the lat
ter told him that there was nobody in the house
but herself and that he would have to return
about noon, when her son would be at home.
The inspector explained that he had a right to
inspect the premises. showed her his badge, and
told her that it was violation OF law to OBJ
struct HIM IN the performance of his duty.
Mrs. Rogenski explained to the court as best
she could (for she does no. thoroughly under
stand English) that she had heard so much
about men going to houses during the absence
OF most of the family that she was afraid to let
him III.
Judge Miller told her that she had violated
the law. The inspectors, he said. have a right
to inspect premises to see if there is any waste
OF water and they are not to be interrupted
The court did not think that Mrs. Rogenski
fully understood the matter and that her ac-
ton was due more to ignorance than anything
else. Her personal bonds were ia ken.

There were no league games yesterday.
Everybody was moving westward and to-day
Washington plays at Indianapolis, Philadel-

hopeful. If the home team wins to-day it will
step into seventh place, and for that promo

BEN IN THE PEW.
The President Listens to a Political ID
sertatiOn From the Pulpit.

The President Listens to a Political Dis
sertatiOn From the Pulpit.
WASHINGTON July 1.-The President
heard a sermon that was all about politics
Yesterday morning. He occupied his own
pew at the Church of the Coven ant DR..
Scott his father-in-law, was the only
other member of the White House family
present Heavenly Citizenship" was the
subject of the discourse of Rev. DIR. Hamlin,
pastor of the church. The text was the
twentieth verse of the third chapter OF
PauI's epistle to the Philippians: For
our conversation is in Heaven, from which
we also look for the Saviour, the Lord
Jesus Christ"
The word conversation, he explained,
did not convey the meaning of the Apos-
tie. but it was made plain by Anglicising
the Greek word which Paul used, and then
it became ''Our politics in Heaven"
There is probably no word in the Lam
guage," he said. that has been so de-
bauched as this novel politics. Its deri-
walton is noble, meaning whatever con-
Germs the well being of a city. 1t is the
art and science of human government
Contrast with this the current meaning of
the word. We actually use it to distin-
guish the maneuvers Of parties in their
contests for the control of the Govern
ment. From a sta esmanship,' which
should be synonymous with il, the term
politics has come to mean the art of Sc
curing votes. 1t should be as high praise
to call a man a politician as to call
him statesman but men wink when
they use the former term and raise their
hats when they use the latter. 1t sounds
reasonable and seems practical that
Christian men should carry the principles
of the Gospel into their politics. The
Gospel requires that in our rela-
tions with our fellow men we should
be unselfish, doing to others as We would
have them do to us. Is not that the very
essence of statesmanship-to do equal JUS
tice all around-between individuals and
between nations: 1t is an utter perversion
of diplomacy which thinks of it as a
means of boodwinking somebody and get
ting an unfair advantage by sharp prac-
tice. Politics must be elevated to mean
something better than selfish and too
often a corrupt strife for place and
power. Let this be called what it is, par
tisanship. Let the man who pursues this
as his vocation be known as a partisan.
The science OF politics may be praetieed
on the highest plane of morality, more
still. in the pure atmosphere Of spiritual
religion. Paytisanship and dema gogism
are, indeed, incapable Of such treatment;
to succeed in these one must cater to the
bitterest preju Ices and the darkest pas
sions of the human heart.
