With the foundation of the Young Peo-
pies Society of Christian Endeavor began
one of the most remarkable religious
movements Of the age, the history of which
is included in the short space of twenty
five years. The organization was Feb
ruary ?. 1851, in the parsonage of the VIII
liston Congregational church at Portland,
Me, then under the pastorate of Rev.
Francis Z. Clark d. D.. now of Boston,
who is and always has been the president
of the cociety.
Growth of the society.
1t has grown from one society Of forty
members to $1,000 societies with nearly
1900 eco members. At its organization it
represented one nation ana one language;
but now over nifty nations or large colonial
dependencies and eighty languages. The
only literature then was a copy of the con-
stitution; today there forty weekly or
monthly publications in fifteen different
languages, weekly or monthly Christian
Endeavor department in several thousand
papers and magazines and abundant book
literature in the principal languages of the
world Then there were no national, state
or local Christian Endeavor unions, now
there are national unions in the United
States. Canada, Great Britain, France,
Spain, Italy, Germany. Sweden, Switzer-
land. Finland, Bulgaria, Hungary, Bohemia,
India, China, Japan, Brazil. Mexico and
South Africa and more than 5000 state and
local unions in all parts Of the world, the
latest acquisitions being Iceland and the
Fiji islands. One hundred denominations
are represented now. where only one was
represented twenty-five years ago.
Four goals are set before the member
ship: To give 100000 TO UNCONVENTIONAL
missions. to make church attendants out
OF 100000 people, to induce 100000 people
to join the church, and to add 1000, 900 to
the membership OF the Christian Endeavor
societies.

Health Commissioner Ralph has con-
suited City Attorney Breen regarding his
duties under law passed by the last
legislature regulating private lying-in hos
pitfalls bic was told by the city attorney
that his duty begins and ends with in
speeding such places, satisfying himself as
to the good moral character of the proprie-
tors and issuing a permit, limiting the
number of patients to be treated at a sin

Several weeks ago the commissioner re-
quested the legal department to prepare
forms for the permit. but up to date this
has not been done. DR.. Ralph's desire for
an Interpretation Of the law arose from
remarks OF DR.. A. Il. Somers to the
Woman's club. in which he charged the
law in question lis fagrantly violated in
Omaha and ignored by the health commits
sioner.
H.. n. 22I from Omaha.
The law is known as II. r. n and
originated IN Omaha. 1t requires the keep

cure permits from the local health commits
sioner or other proper authority and for
bids them to advertise in the press or offer

penalty is a maximum fine of 800 for each
offense.
After studying the law. City Attorney
Breen said

commissioner to round up these hospitals
and homes and to prosecute the keepers

Using properly than it is yours or mine
II there is any authority charged with en-
forcing the law 1t is the county attorney.
All that is required of the health commits

IN THE POLITICAL ARENA
City Treasurer Hennings Files Ger
tifcate of Candidacy with
City Clerk.

City Treasurer Hennings at l45 o'clock
Tuesday set at rest all rumors that he
may be forced" out of the race for the
republican nomination for mayor. At that
moment he handed his certificate of can
didacy to City Clerk Elbourn and put
himself on record the first man officially
10 list himself for mayor at the April
primaries. The blanks were filled out by
typewriter
Il guess that will settle stories that /
am a Weakened candidate. likely to be
pushed out of the contest at any time
said he.
Shortly before Mr. Hennings filed City
Attorney John p Breen filed his applica-
ton for the republican nomination for the
place he now holds. Preceding him Jerry
c. Mcmahon put in an official bid for coun-
Gil from the Third ward on the republican
ticket, and George L. Hurst did likewise
with respect to the councilmanship in the
Sixth ward.
Candidates for republican nominations for
city offices continue to file their names
with the city clerk rapidly enough to keep
Deputy Clerk Simonson rather busy. In
addition to the list reported Monday after
noon the bunch who have gone on record
now includes W. Z. Stockham for city
clerk and Taylor Turner for building in
speotor. For the council Isaac S. Hascall
has come out of the obscurity of three
years of private life in the First ward and
made bid for the place. Frank Norton
has put in an application in hopes of rep
resentng the Third ward,
John Yerak, a street car motorman, has
fled from the Tenth ward and Emil Motz
for the Third ward couneimanship.
d. A. N. Chase, for councilman from the
Twelfth ward and w. ]. Addy, for council

Richard Burnell is the correct name of
the candidate who has filed for the republi-
can nomination for the council in the
Tenth ward 1t was incorrectly printed, as
Burnette. Mr.. Burnell is harness maker
and is we'll known in the district he aims
to represent.
X. Beecher Howell, when he picked up
The Evening Bee Monday in a barber shop,
expressed the utmost surprise that The Bee
could get hold of the pledge which was ex-
acted from the Fontanelle club candidates
There were but two copies of that pledge
and / had them both, and they were not
considered at any of the meetings OF the
| club so l can't understand how The Bee
could get hold of them" quoth Mr. Howell
with considerable emphasis.
