HOME FOR THE AGED
PRESBYTERIANS OF CITY HAVE
ONE IN VIEW.
Meeting Of Alliance Held at Which
Matter Was Discussed-Prom-
inent Speakers

The establishment and maintenance Of a
Presbyterian home for aged people In the
District of Columbia by the people of that
denomination was the theme of the adj
dresses made last evening at the annual
conclave of the Presbyterian Church men,
beIs of the District held in the new Y. NJ

Suggested by DR.. Alexander.

The suggestion of the home for the aged
was first made by DR.. Alexander, the first
speaker
Several things lie close to our hearts"
he said, in beginning, ito the hearts of
those who want to see Presbyterianism not
only maintained but advanced in the Dis
trict The alliance has been organized
some distinctive work, such as a Presby-
terian home for the aged We want
your generous response to this cause
and we are going to get the nome. we
want you to cooperate.
DR. Bailey went more into details, declar-
ing that the home may be looked for i'll the
near future. We must have some brains
in Washington, he reasoned, and no better
better use can be found for the local brains,
he thought, than to establish and maintain
a home for aged people. He stated that at
a luncheon given by Mr.. h. ii. Warner
to committee of the alliance last fall
the idea of establishing some institution
here was suggested and a committee was
appointed to look into the matter. The
home for the aged was more discussed
than was any other topic. AT the same
time it was found the ladies of the churches
were working along the same lines, and at
a meeting of the ladies held in Eastern
Presbyterian Church they resolved to CO
operate with the alliance. AS result or
this movement, articles of incorporation
were drawn up and, SAID DR. Bailey, they
VIII probably soon be filed.
In introducing DIR. Wallace Radcliffe, Mr..
Warner presented him as the pastor of
New York Avenue Church "Of New York
Avenue and Assembiys combined" he
quickly added.
Two Hundredth Anniversary.
"Of the Presbyterian Cathedral" re-
marked DR. Radcliffe. He continued by
calling attention to the fact that this date
marked the 20Oth anniversary of the estab-
lishment of the first presbytery IN the
United States.
''Since that time he said, ut has reached
out its arms to grasp the whole country
This history ought to create enthusiasm
because, 1t is said, this country owes it's
republican form of government - 1 don't
mean our District government, for here
we have an absolute monarchy-to Pres
byterianism.
DR.. Bittinger, the dean of the pastors
present last evening, said he wished sue
cess to the enterprise for an old peoples
home.
The officers OF the Presbyterian Alliance
are: President, b II. Warner; vice presi-
dents. Charles Lyman, Dr. Daniel McFar-
Ian. and w. A. II. Church; secretary Ir-
win B. Linton; treasurer Charles B. Bal

from their places of business they rarely
think Of walking downtown in the morning
or back In the evening. They adjust their
days schedule to the time required to go
to and fro by electricity. The result is
that unless they are devoted to some par
ticuiar outdoor sport they rarely use their
legs In the degree that nature demands for
the development of the body to Its full use

Edward Weston's achievement opght to
start men to thinking of their legs as
means of locomotion, and get them more
frequently out into the country for walks
that put them In touch with new elements.
Beginning with short stretches. they can
gradually increase their distances until per-
haps they can do their ten miles without

The Washington Traction Company's re-
ply to the Commissioners In regard to the
absence Of straps from the suburban cars
on one OF its lines is not altogether salts
factory to those passengers who are COM
PEELED to stand In the aisles for the greater
part of their trip. The company advises
the standees to catch hold of the seats
when there are no straps Most passengers
VIII prefer to grab seat corner to reach
ing up on tiptoes and clinging on to a
strap that carries the body against the
person sitting alongside. But the cars on
the line in question are so constructed that
in each OF them there is at least one place
and in some cases there are two, where It
is impossible to reach a seat back for sup
port. These are the places where the cross
seats face. at the forward end of the car
at the partitions which in some of the ears
still remain, although the smoking COM
partments which they mark off are not
used by the tobacco devotees.- At these
places the person standing in the aisle Is
subject to strains and twists which call
for extreme agility to overcome. The result
IS that the passenger un!ucky enough to
get standing room at the fore end of such
car clings desperately to the door, and
thus blocks the passage.
bul II tHe management Will NOT pfoNiue
straps it should al least furnish hand
holds at the seat-back corners. Such open
grips for standing passengers are in use on
a few cars on the street line and have
been found convenient Inasmuch as the
average car carries more passengers than
seats. the Commissioners should require
the companies to adopt every available
device for the security and comfort of those
who are compelled to stand This should
not be left to the companies themselves.
although IT is obviously to the selfish in
terest Of the corporations to do everything
they can TO prevent accidents 10 their pas

Senate after a canvass OF unusual 0itser-

hiring that strength which his party at This
time very much needs, The aspiranfs for
the gubernatoriai nomination have dealt
with each other quite as sharply as Mr..
Carmack and Mr.. Taylor did in their contest
for the Senate, and If compromise man
proves necessary he should be one WITHOUT
a fractional record. Tennessee is at times
c,ose state. and the republicans this year
will muster under the banner of their
strongest leader. The democrats will have
no votes to spare.
Judge Paynter, who will succeed Mr..
Blackburn in the Senate. has served in the
House and on the appellate bench of Ken
lucky. and on that account, his friends be-
flee. Mr.. Taylor also has served in the
House. and several times as governor OF
his state. and should easily master the busi-
ness of the Senate. And by this same token
with his thirty years in Congress Mr.. Black
burn would be at no loss in the governor

Mr.. WI.

The news that Mr. WI Tinig-fang is now
a vegetarian and teetotaler recalls the ex-
perience as related by himself he once had
at a stag dinner In this country. His
English was considered unusually crisp and
expressive for an Asiatic, and he used a
word in this story which his hearers often
repeated. An amable understanding went
around the table to lay the Cfinaman out,
and the best holders" at the board tackled
him. He accepted battle. and proved very
valiant with the bottle. In fact he laid out
the opposition. and smiled upon their grog-
giness and thick tongues with great good
humor. Subsequently. when congratulated
upon his success. he laughed heartily and
said: 1T was conspiracy to saturate' me,
and more Of the stuff was necessary than
my friends imagined"

Mr.. Aldrich at the White House.
1.-The play is done: the curtain drops,
Slow falling TO the prompter's bell.'

Mr. Aldrich has resumed his visits to the
White House. For several months he was
a stranger there. In the long procession of
callers the figure of the Rhode Island sena-
tor did not appear. Some people wondered.
Other people gossiped. Had Rhode Island
nothing further to ask of this administra-
ton? Or was Mr.. Wetmore looking after
the interests of the little commonwealth
Everybody of course thought of the railroad
rate bill, and of how Mr.. Aldrich had man.
aged to make Mr.. Tillman its custodian
and manager in the Senate, and not a few
people concluded that by that act the Rhode
Island senator had put himself beyond the
pale.
Although politics with US is continuous
performance there are observers who seem
never to get the hang of the game. They
resemble those credulous onlookers in the
court room who take the fury of opposing
attorneys in dead earnest 1t excites them
to hear men tear each other so savagely in
speech in an age called Christian and in a
country called civilized. And, later, 1t
surprises and shocks them to see those
same attorneys chummy together, and even
cooperating in other cases. For time,
and until they are better advised. their
confidence in their kind and in the organiza-
ion of society is bit shaken.
It may not be doubted that Mr.. Aldrich
was in earnest in all he did in the rail-
road rate bill fight In the first place he
wanted no legislation at all. But seeing
that the country did. and that legislation of
some kind would be enacted, he set about
using his influence in the Senate to make 1t
as mild as possible. feature of his play
was to put the bill into the hands of men,
Der of the minority whose attitude on the
subject was thought to be extreme. His
calculation was that Mr.. Tillman's leader
ship would embarrass the President and his
friends.
Mr.. Aldrich did not get what he wanted.
He is far from being pleased with the re-
suit But the fight here is over, and the
fight In Rhode Island. with Mr.. Wetmore's
seat in the scale is Just beginning. The de-
feat of his colleague would in effect be the
defeat of Mr.. Aldrich. and republican sue
cessSin Rhode Island depends upon republ
can unity 1t would inJure Mr. Aldrich to
have the impression prevail at home that he
is out of countenance at the White House.
And so he calls. And as the President de-
sires his party to succeed in this years cam
paigns, he gives the Rhode Island senator
a cordial hand. "Glad to see you, Mr.. Presi-
dent" Same to you Mr.. Senator"

The Bryan Campaign.

Norman F. Mack Of Buffalo is in a happy
frame of mind. He gives New York TO MI
Hearst for governor by hundred thousand
majority, and sweeps the country for MI
Bryan for President In 1903. He does moth
ing by halves. AS an old campaigner he
knows the value of looking pleasant and
talking confidently. Where the thing is
well done the effect is good The rank and
file become the more alert under the spur
of an optimism that enthuses. When the
leaders not only insist on hard work, but
by the use of persuasive claims and
round numbers show that hard work Is go
ing to pay good fighting is usually Sc
cured
No praise however, is to be bestowed
on the democrats who met at Lima. Ohio,
yesterday and in making judicial nominal
ton 'resoluted" on national affairs. A
dispatch states:
william Jennings Bryan was Endorsed
for President here today by the democratic
judicial convention of sixteen counties of
northwestern Ohio.
The resolutions. which were adopted with
cheering. declare that Bryan would have
been reuominated and elected in 1904 had
the trusts not stolen the nomination from
him, and that the national democracy will
nominate him In 1908 by reclamation"
does the statement of the case accord
strictly with the facts The New York
trusts and their agents and attorneys made
no move in Judge Parker's behalf until
It was known that Mr. Bryan did not want
TO try the third time running for the presi-
dency. He voluntarily took himself out Of
consideration. He announced that his chief
concern was for the platform, although he
frankly declared that Judge Parker would
not make strong candidate. 1t was then
that the trusts, under the leadership of
Thomas +. Ryan and August Belmont.
pushed Judge Parker to the front. and laid
the founds tons for controlling the national
convention If Mr. Bryan had encouraged
his friends TO action he would probably
have been nominated again, and almost Ger
tainly defeated.
But strong as Mr.. Bryan now may be
and he Is stronger than this time four years
ago-he has no strength 10 waste in bicker-
ings about the past If nominated in 1903
he will need the Parker men very much in
his business. No inquiries should run as
to where they stood or what they did two
years ago. or six years ago, ten years
ago. Some of them worked and voted for
Mr.. Mckinley In his two races. and might
have voted for Mr.. Roosevelt If Mr.. Bryan
had been the candidate against him. The
question Is. can they be brought to support
Mr.. Bryan two years hence? Not If they
are held up TO obloquy as having robbed
him Of the nomination when Judge Parker
Won. The Bryan buckeyes should develop
q little diplomacy. and take reef in their
indignation against their eastern brethren.
