The American Institute of Civics is a ma
tional institution devoted to the promotion
of good government through good citizen
ship. In accordance with its annual custom,
1t seeks to secure the widest possible observ-
ance Of patriotic holidays, with addresses
and exercises promotive of its objects.
We take pleasure in presenting the insti-
tution's plans for the observance of wash
ington's birthday. AS the subject for adj
dresses on the lend anniversary of the
day, 1t suggests the following words from
Washington's farewell address: Virtue or
morality = . = a necessary spring of pop
ular government"
1t is proposed that the children of the
public schools be preferably at
about 10 a. m, so as to interfere as little as
possible with holiday plans) in large audience
rooms. where brief addresses shall be de-
livered by popular speakers. with suitable
recitations by the children, patriotic music
and the salutation of the flag in accordance
with the manual provided by Colonel George
T. Balch of the New York City Board Of
Education. a..yG
Presidents of colleges and academies are
asked to interest students in a special OBJ
servance of the day and pastors OF churches
are urged to set apart Sunday evening,
February Is or %, for a popular patriotic
service calculated to awaken among church
attendants, young and old, a deeper sense OF
obligations resting on citizens who profess
to be guided by the exalted moral teachings
Of the man of Nazareth.
The institution solicits Information as to
the observance of the day, and will award
a suitable prize for the public school pro-
gram which is deemed best calculated to
effectively promote good citizenship. Pro-
grams, accompanied by reports of meetings,
may be sent to Henry Randall Waite, pres
ident of the institution, 3S Park Row, New
York. The manual for the salutation OF
the flag will be at once sent to any teacher
upon receipt of 8 cents in stamps, the cost
of printing and mailing. DR.. Ridpath, the
historian, speaks of the cause represented
by the Institute of Civics as zone of the
worthiest for the support Of which men
have ever put themselves side by side;' and
DR.. John LIE Conte expresses the conviction
that "the time has come when an In
%stitution like this is absolutely necessary"
Those who share in the conviction that the
way to good government is through good
citizenship, will be interested In reports as
to the objects and plans of this institution
which can be obtained by writing to its
president.

TIE SUNDIY THEITER,

OMAHA, Feb. Ito the Editor of The
Bee: We hear much nowadays regarding
gambling vices, the social evil and the dan
gers of a continental Sabbath, etc, but as
yet no one has raised his voice, publicly at
least, against the vicious tendencies of the
Sunday theater. In my humble opinion the
Sunday theater is a very seductive school of
vice, and, because 1t wears a garb of semi
responsibility, it becomes a powerful factor
in promoting a growing disregard and disre-
spect for the Christian Sabbath. Are not six
days sufficient for theaters and theater
goers? Why should 1t be necessary to open
any theater on Sunday where there are so
many ably filed pulpits? The Sunday the
alter is growing in popularity with actors and
managers because 1t is the best patronized
of any in the entire week. This Is certainly
humiliating to Christian feelings.
COMMON DECENCY.

YORK FOR ORGANIZED CHARITY.

The asmod relief bureau has closed It's
doors and remanded the destitute and needy
people to the tender mercies OF charity as
sociations and individual benevolence on
the eve OF the heaviest snow fall Of the sea-
son and the severest winter weather. This
Is just what might have been expected.
While some good has doubtless been done
by the bureau, It's organization was mani
testify superfuous. The task Of systematic
relief OF tho destitute unemployed that were
not being cared for by the county had been
assumed by the Associated Charities. The
columns of the daily press were at the dis
posal OF every charity organization. and APP
peals for aid could and should have been
made through the press whenever 1t was
deemed necessary. Instead OF promoting
systematic work the bureau has hindered,
distracted and disorganized. Instead OF
promiscuously plling up and scattering edi-
bles, provisions and clothing. there should
have been a judicious distribution of these
things to avoid having a feast for one week
and a famine the next week.
No outside agency or bureau should have
been permitted to intrude itself upon the
community for work that devolves upon
regular charity ORGANIZATIONS. Ihls III not
said because the defunct bureau was estab-
lished by another newspaper. The Bee
had warned charity associations against
spasmodlc outbursts before the bureau had
been thought Of.
Now that we are confronted by the reac-
ton that follows all such efforts we deem II
our duty to appeal to tho charity organlza-
lions to redouble their efforts. The rigors
OF winter are only half spent, We are
liable TO have six weeks of severe cold
weather and hundreds OF families that have
held out up to this time will be added to the
number that have been dependent upon
charity this winter. To meet the pressing
want for fuel and food Is the grave problem,
The funds Of the associations, which are
nearly exhausted, should be replenlshed and
arrangements made for storing, handling and
delivery OF the articles needed most. The
distribution should be based upon actual
wants and no wastage permitted. This is
no child's play. All the energies OF organ
ICED benevolence will be taxed to cope with
tho manifold wants of the impoverished for
the next six weeks,
