Washington as n Center.

The decision of the Presbyterian General
Assembly to Investigate Justice Harlah's
proposition for the erection of minister
or central church by that denomination In
the city of Washington insures thorough
consideration of the project There are, IL
is true. differing ideas within the denomlna-
ton regarding the wisdom of this depart
ure from established lines. but it Is evident
that the central body of the Presbyterians
by no means regards it as impracticable.
For several years there has been a dis
position on the part of various church
bodies to regard the capital city as their
natural headquarters. Several institutions
today in existence bear witness to this ten
dency. There are many factors to encour-
age concentration here. 1t is the national
center. 1t is the favorite convention point.
1t stands before the world at large as the
focus of the main currents of American
thought Steadily for decades there has
been an increasing appreciation OF the I'M
portance of utilizing the natural and po-
litical advantages of the District for the
better organization of all lines of human
effort.
The bugaboo of Capitalization no longer
frightens as ii did once. The railroad, the
printing press and the telegraph have
swept away old prejudiccs against the rec
ognition of a single point as the seat of
authority or activity. Nothing Is now done
in a corner What is accomplished or pro-
nosed in Washington is known Immediately
I'm all parts of the land. And the facilities
for communication have made the FEDERAL
capital as accessible to the people as
though it were located in the geographical
confer of the country
The issue chiefly at stake before the
PRESBYTERIAN authorities relates to the wis
dom of establishing a central church. That
is a UNCONVENTIONAL matter, to be debated
strictly within that body and by those
who know the full measure of argument
for and against the suggestion from the
Presbyterian point of view. washington
in its fnter-denomnational character, mere
Nv hopes that the decision may favor JUS
tice Harlan's idea, for it is glad to gather
here into it's cosmopolitan embrace all
sorts and conditions of men for their mu-
tual advantage.

Change Of Feeling About Women

From the Philadelphia Inquirer
The death of Mrs. Mary Livermore calls
attention to the fact that there is won
derful change in regard to the women who
work for various causes to advance their
sex as compared with what 1t was forty
and especially fifty years ago. 1t is re-
markable that so many of the women who
first entered the battle for an extension
of the political rights and privileges sur
vived so long. Mrs. Elizabeth Cady STAN
ton, Lucy Stone and Anna Dickinson sur
vived to a green old age Mrs. Livermore
was well past eighty. Susan B. Anthony
still survives, and Julia Ward Howe con-
tinues to write poetry. There are others
who could be named but these are enough
to show that intellectual work for women
is not injurious to the health. When these
women began their campaign before the
civil war they were generally hooted at
just some of the leading aboiitionists
were at about the same period. They were
called cranks, unfeminine and many harder
phrases. Still the movement grew, and,
although woman's suffrage has been con-
fined to the far west except in certain To-
cal matters, the laws have been changed
so that at the present woman is much
better protected than man. The safeguards
thrown around the sex have come rather
grudgingly Until of late, and now it seems
to be only question of what women will
ask for in order to get 1t.

American Workers in Canada,

A nice question of American rights in Can
ada seems likely to arise from the action of
the Dominion government in ordering the
deportation from Canada of a number of
officials of the Pere Marquette railroad who
have recently been sent there from the
United States, replacing Canadians. This
action, it is understood, is based upon the
alien contract labor law, and will be fought
by the American railroad on the ground that
the men deported are not subject to it's pro-
visions, being of a high grade of skill and
therefore in no wise to be classed with the
common workmen against whose importa-
ton the statute was intended to operate
They include a superintendent, a trainmas-
ter, chief dispatcher master mechanic
two general foremen, an assistant engineer
foreman of signals, private secretary, a
storekeeper and passenger agent.
1t is difficult to understand at this dis
lance the grounds on which such men, high
ly skilled in their respective lines, can be
CLASSIFIED with the track hands and other Ia
borers who are properly subject to an alien
contract labor law. On the other hand it is
not difficult to understand how the Canadian
government might be moved by pressure to
cite any possibly applicable law to prevent
the employment of Americans in Canada, in
Whatever capacity Inc case is SUBJECT TO
some delicate factors, involving the right of
an international corporation to choose its
own assistants. There is plainly DISPOSE
ton in Canada to annoy the people of the
United States. The i'll feeling aroused by
the Alaskan boundary award has by no
means abated, while thepersistent efforts of
the United States to secure the extradition
of Greene and Gaynor have intensified the
anti-American sentiment which prevails in
some quarters over the line. Thus the Pere
Marquette case may become historical as
another item in the lengthening list of
causes of friction between the two govern
mentS.

basis for Impeachment proceedings against
the mayor is an amusing example Of the
way things are run in Philadelphia. Some
years ago, when John Weaver was district
attorney, a man named Salter was indicted
for completely in ballot-box stuff1ng. he
fed to Mexico, where he remained until
assured that he could safely return. he
came back and was tried by jury Wnich
the enemies of the machine openly charged
was fixed" He was acquitted. One of the
witnesses called by the district attorney to
testify against Salter was a man named
Blair. He turned face about and swore in
favor of Salter He was arrested and &C
cused of perjury. While Weaver was still
district attorney the indictment against
Blair was quashed. Before Weaver became
mayor Blair was appointed policeman
When Weaver took the chief city office he
certified Blairs appointment to the cour-
ellis. and it was ratified. 1t is now said that
the machine, which secured Salter's ac-
quittal and Blair's escape from trial and
his reward by appointment, will charge
Weaver with official misconduct in appoint
ing a man to office whom he knew to be
guilty of crime.
OF course an impeachment trial would
uncover much official and unofficial cor
ruption. Such a possibility would ordinarily
deter even a brazenly defiant municipal
gong from taking a step of this kind. But
it is believed in Philadelphia that the ma
chine leaders have become so confident OF
their ability to crowd anything and every
thing down the threats of the citizens that
they would willingly take the risks involved
in the Impeachment proceedings for the
sake of removing an obstacle from their
patti TO plumber.

THE Automobile,
From the Springfield Republican.

As the use of the automobile spreads, all
the meanest traits in human kind are
placed in evidence. Unhappily this is
dangerous stage which to display them.
The man who Injuries some one else and
runs away is coming in evidence with too
much frequency. 1t also needs no argu-
ment that the use of liquor by the driver
of an automobile constitutes an extreme
peril to the public safety We have not
yet reached the point where this new vehi-
Gle, as 1t takes it's place in the life Of the
country. is sufficiently regulated. Mere in
dignation will not produce any better re-
suits, except as 1t avails to create cor
receive public sentiment. The associations
of automobilists must do what they can
to remedy these evils. and save the whole
of them from public discredit.

In PHILADELPHIA.

A man to Philadelphia went.
His name was Silas Brown.
His steps to an hotel he bent;
To rest he laid him down.
Asphyxiation-do not laugh
Next morning came to pass.
They put it in his epitaph:
"He monkeyed with the gas"
In spite of this example sad
Some persons in that town
Have risked a fate almost as sad
AS that of Silas Brown.
And men who spurn the peoples vote
From public life may pass
With this obituary note:
They monkeyed with the gas"
