To the Editor OF The Washington Times:
In the issue OF the washington Times
Of April 18th, there appeared an edito-
rial criticism of the District Bar, or
rather of the Bar Association. for its
failure to call to accots. IN any man
ner, members Of the legal profession at
The Capital, who are supposed or be-
lieved to be guilty of conduct justifying
disDaTment, IL no worse punishment.
The editorial In question makes unpleas-
ant reading for any lawyer having a
regard for his profession and a due
sense Of the obligations 1t imposes upon
those who pursue II, and, speaking only
for myself. but as one of the members
OF the association which was the OBJ
ject of The Times anirnadversions. am
prepared TO concede the sourdness Of
most OF the views expressed by the pa
per.
For some months I have been COM
PEELED TO listen TO sharp comments from
many quarters upon the indifference
displayed by the members Of the bar,
as one after another OF their profes-
sional brethren have come to be more
or less suspected OF being involved In
discreditable transactions. And public
sentiment Is beginning to crystallize
into something akin 10 contempt for q
passive while the honor of their pro-
fession is threatened or sullied by
weak and erring persons.
Defense of the Bar.
Something, however, may be said il
defense of the Bar Association and tbs
lawyers generally. And first as to tbs
association. Under its present const
tuition, the grievance committee is onl,
authorized TO act when some men1be
or members OF the organization sha
prefer In writing q complaint against !
fellow -member-the committee has. o1
course, no power to deal with lawyer:
not members OF the association. AND
when q complaint is SO preferred, th'
extent of the committees duty is II
investigate and report TO the associa
tion for its action, which may take th'
form of the expulsion Of the accused
/ am not sure that any OF the lawyer
who are or have been lately under NOR
or less direct charges Of wrong doins
are members OF the aSsociat ton, bat, 4
so, the grievance committee must still
wait for the written complaint. Blu
this condition of affairs could b'
changed and ii should be. The by-iawi
SO as to require the grievance commit

who Is suspected with having been un
faithful to his oath OF office, even In th
absence of written complaint. Inves

DR.. M'K|h NO MORE
WILL IhPORTONE
Through Urging Religious
zc oug instruction.

I'VE have done our duty in presenting
the matter to the Board of Education.
and If they have seen fit TO refuse 10
consider moral and religious instruc-
ton as a necessary adjunct 10 the pub
lie school curriculum then it will have
to rest there.
In these words the Rev. DR.. Randolph
McKim, one of the committee OF nj
teen who originated and endea"ored to
forward the plan, this morning declared
that no further effort would be made
toward securing the adoption by the
Board of Education of moral training
in the public schools on a religious
basis.
DR.. McKim declared himself In ignor-
ance OF last nights action OF the bodro
of Education. but expressed 40 surprise
when informed by a Times reporter OF
the outcome. He said he would nave no
suggestions or counter proposals 10
make, and plainly indicated his oeiiet
that the committee of fifteen, or any
anv other similarly constituted body,
would not soon again exert itself on
] lost cause.
Application Is Denied.
The Detttton of the committee of fif-
| teen was finally denied last evening oy
| the Board of Education, putting an endr
| nresurna bIy. to the long and heated ois-
| cussion of the proposal which has con-
sumed the past few months.
| Tha action of the board was induced
nv two reasons, according to state
ment issued at the close OF a meeting.
| A large number of protests against the
| nooIranoanf were received by the board
| ard d;tiv considered solely from the
STANDPOINT of the welfare of the school,
| and since these femonstfanees nave
come in a great measure from large
anA rAYreSenta tive religious bodies ana
| insDfred by conscientious motives the
! hoard felt constrained to decline TO un-
| dertake the proposed course. second
| reason for the boards action WAS the
| rancor the subject has aroused In ITS
| nublic discussion. whieh the board
deems highly unfortunate.
General Boynton Opposed.
| In assuming this position. the board
did not coincide with a suggestion made
| IN writing by Gen. Henry Y Boynton,
president OF the board, who is confined
| at his home with sickness General
| Boynton- urged that change be made IN
the rules so as TO provide that on GER
tain day of each week the. teachers
.sbo,iId include in their opening eXer-
.cfses the Ten Commandments. and the
! Summary of the Law, with 5svislon
that any student may be excused from
| this portion OF the exercises upon a
| written application from his parents
| He also urged that the committee on
/ textbooks be requested to ascertain
| and report as &c whether suitable ana
! thoroughly non-sectarian textbook on
morality could be found FOR addition TO
| the supplementary list.

ne sanitary housing project. 4f0,UuG
New auditorium. ...s....... 500 600
The first of these movements had
its rise in public spirit and has been
maintained almost exclusively by
public spirit. It is al effort to care
for the bodies of the children as the
public schools care for their brains,
to foster the growth of citizens
strong in body as 1t Is hoped they
may be strong id character. If play
grounds are not provided the streets
must be used instead. and the streets
mean not accidents and injury only,
but hampered development Of the
spirit and Acknowledgement Of the
lungs
The second project offers the poor
er citizen the use Of ground which
now lies idle, and encourages him
with instruction and supplies. City
gardens are not an experiment. Even
in Washington they are a proven
success. But they cannot be run
without money. Nothing that is
worth having can.
The Sanitary Housing Company
undertakes to do away with the
alley shack by providing liyable
and healthful dwellings for the
poor at monthly rental of
about 81. Another company, SINH
larly organized and maintained, is
engaged in building houses of the
same sort for a rental of $3.50 each.
This latter organization has sold all
its 100000 issue OF stock, has a sur
plus in its treasury; and pays all
subscribers a dividend of 5 per cent
The Sanitary Housing Company,
with lower rentals, undertakes to
pay only per cent, but the expert
ence Of the other institution makes
per cent as certain as anything can
be in business. Yet out of the $780,
900 issue now open to subscription
only $4,000 has been taken.
The auditorium enterprise has
been enough discussed in The Times
and elsewhere to acquaint everybody
with it. It is designed to give Wash
ington a hall suitable for large con-
yentfons and great meetings. This is
the Nations Capital, the most per-
sistent convention city in the world.
The need for such hall is proved by
the unfortunate experience of many
years. That need is security, also,
of the reasonable profits to be OBJ
Here, as has been said, are four
proofs of Washington's awakened
public spirit. But the real test of
that spirit will be found not in the
conception OF these projects, but in
their fate.

Puree Of Tomatoes.

AS soon as the can of tomatoes is
opened, turn them out into porcelain
lined stew pot. Never allow tomatoes
to stand in tin. The acid coming in
contact with the air acts on the tin
and renders them dangerous. Place
them over the fire. When smoking
throw in two bay leaves, two sprigs Of
parsley tied in a piece of cheesecloth.
Boil slowly for 20 minutes; then take
them off the fire and strain out the
seeds, bay leaves and parsley. Return
to the stew pot, and add when boiling

Mans Debt to the Birds.

The lovers of birds who denounce
the wanton slaughter Of these among
the most beautiful of Gods creatures
too frequently confine themselves to
the sentimental aspect of the case. The
sentiment, indeed, which they invoke
is powerful and wholesome enough,
but it by no means constitutes the
whole Of the argument on behalf OF
our feathered friends. Science comes
forward to supplement that argument.
1t furnishes striking proof of the en-
ormous debt that we owe to the birds.
